Here's my story for the contest: " I walked into the barn on a sunny May morning. I looked into my horse, Jasmine's stall. My eyes widened. There lay a colt. I backed up and ran to my house. "Mom! Mom!!" I screamed My mom turned quickly and ran to the door "What is it?!" she said shocked I bent down to catch my breath and finally the words blurted out of my mouth. "J-Jasmine had a-a colt."I said breathing heavy. "What?!?!?!" my mom said putting on her mucking boots also We ran out to the barn. My mom peaked in and gasped "You weren't lying..." she said stunned "Go catch the bus honey, I'll feed the horses." my mom said "OK." I said I ran up to the house and grabbed my backpack. I ran out the road as my horse charms jingled from my backpack. I had made it just in time. I got on the bus and sat down beside my friend, Sydney. "Why so stunned?" she asked "Jasmine had her foal." I said "Oh......" she said looking down "What's wrong Sydney?" I asked "I've always wanted a horse.. And you've always been getting them left and right." Sydney said "Not really... We only have 12...." I said "Whatever, anyways." The school bus door opened and we all got out to go to school. That day after school, I jumped off the bus and ran quickly to the house. I threw my backpack down and ran to the barn. I put a halter on the colt and took him for a walk. I could see him in a few years being showed. I looked up at the sun that showed in my eyes. When we came back, I tacked up Jasmine, the state champion horse and rode her down my trail to the pond. She took a drink then we went on the other trail. The evening grass shined as I rode through. We came out the other trail which led to the pasture. I dismounted and opened the fence to the pasture.  I mounted and we rode to the barn. I untacked her and led her around the riding ring and put her back in her stall after grooming. I went to the second story of the barn and my eyes shifted at the piling up hay bales. I grabbed a bale and threw it down the ladder shaft to the horses troughs. I went back in the house and started my homework. I murmured the questions and answers to myself. Tomorrow would be another whole day of training. That night I went to sleep. Having dreams about the new colt and what I should name it.
