Connection

We came closer to the fence. I leaned down and prepared the jump. Reaching the jump, he jumped gracefully over it and he kept running. I slowed him and jumped off of him. I told him he could go, he was free. He clinged to me, though. He must of wanted to stay with me so I let him.

He was just like me. He wanted to break away from the people that were hurting him and so did I. We willed each other over the fence and now he was my companion. We would run away together and start a new life with freedom.

He stood still and I pet him, his ears went back. He looked at me, almost telling me I could ride him so I got on. We rode trew the clearing and again I reached him into a gallop. I yelled as the freedom rushed threw me. suddenly I felt myself lifting. The horses front legs jumped in the air and he let out a loud naah. He gracefully went back into a gallop and we road off into the sunrise. That horse had a connection to me, like he knew my feelings. This horse is amazing and his new name is The Healer.
