I walked out to the stables and looked up and down the aisle, not finding Dixie. I went out to check the field, and there she was, getting a new lesson horse "in line". Well really just showing her the pecking order. After a kick, a bite, the new horse knew to stay away and listen. I whistled for Dixie and she reluctantly came over after watching the other horses. Dixie stuck her head over the gate and I scratched her cheek. "Good girl, good girl." I murmured to her. I slipped her new leather halter over her head and clipped the matching lead to it. Really, it was a show halter but I'm not showing Dixie anymore and Missy's head is to small for it. Might as well get some use out of it, right? I led Dixie into the wash stall and switched out her halter(I did NOT want it wet). Then I sprayed the water all over her body, legs, mane, tail, head(Not directly, she drank some of it!), everywhere! Then I soaped her up and used this white foam thing to make her sock whiter. I hosed her off and got the sweat scraper. I (duh) scraped the water off of her. Well, most of it anyways. Once I finished I switched her halters back and led her outside to dry off. I sat on a bench while Dixie grazed and dried off in front of me. After a while she got tired and walked over, standing behind me on the bench. I smiled and reached up to hug her, and she tried to nibble my hair. "No, silly girl!" I said giggling, tapping her nose away from my hair. She snorted at me in astonishment and tossed her head, like she couldn't believe I talked to Thy Ruler like that. I smiled and scratched her neck when someone else came over with their horse.
