Brooklyn paced back and forth as the teacher scolded her. Her mind has on misty her horse. She just had to go and see her .The scolding was taking longer than expected and she had loads of homework. Mr.Thornsberry said”Are you listing to me Brooklyn Scarlet” she nodded her head yes when really she wasn’t, she bit her lower lip impatiently .she looked up at him with eyes full of hope and then he said “You may leave” as soon as she walked out of the classroom she let out a relived sigh. She walked down the hallway and once she got outside she sprinted to the nearest bus stop it was a 30 minute drive to school and back so she had to get up very early in the morning. She tried to finish as much homework as she could on the bus. Brooklyn looked hoped that her mom wasn’t home she couldn’t even stand another lecture they were coming up to the driveway her mom’s car wasn’t there yet. Brooklyn let out another relived sigh as the bus stopped she quickly hurried off. Brooklyn Ran as fast as she could to the field where misty was and went through the barbwire fence. Misty happily trotted up to her and Brooklyn petted her velvety nose. Without even thinking she climbed up on her back and misty moved and made her fall off she neighed with laughter and trotted off Brooklyn finally caught her. Brooklyn climbed on and grabbed hold on her mane and nudged her stomach misty stood there she nudged a little harder misty stayed put. Misty wasn’t exactly a fairy tale horse you read about the. Misty  bucks, kicks, snorts , bites she isn’t perfect you know. Brooklyn finally gave in and gave a small kick she started going not moving forward but bucking rearing and pacing finally she took off at a full speed gallop everyday misty behavior. Brooklyn held on for dear life as she gained her balance again misty stopped and Brooklyn fell over her head she neighed again. This time Brooklyn was determined to stay on she walked to the barn and grabbed the saddle pad, bridle and saddle Misty saw and galloped off she grabbed the nearest rope and brush and she roped her she pulled misty near her and brushed her then put on the saddle pad saddle the bridle she hoped on misty was then very annoyed she finally started behaving . Brooklyn led misty to the trail and they walked for about 5 minutes and then they trotted and then loped the galloped she was now in a narrow path on a valley with sunflowers over her head she heard a few whines misty reared then everything went black
