Chasing Dream (2012)
“I tell Dr. Snyder. “Ever. She’s a sweet horse.”
Doc Snyder doesn’t seem angry. She goes back to scratching Dream’s withers. “You hurt, don’t you, girl?” she murmurs to Dream. “It’s okay. I understand.”
When Doc turns to me this time, she looks serious. “Ellie, we need to figure out if something Dream ate might be giving her colic. I’d like to know what caused this bellyache so I can help get rid of it.”
Colt eases through the lean-to and stands beside me. “Is colic . . . is it serious?”
“It can... be. That’s why it would help if we knew the cause. Understand?”
We both nod.
“Good. Mr. Harper told me you said that your horse has been acting different lately. Tell me about that.”
I tell her everything I can think of—how Dream has been restless, how she’s taken to pawing the ground for no reason, how she sidesteps like she’s nervous, how she’s been hard to catch and skittish lately.
She nods and waits for more.
I try, but I can’t think of anything else.MoreLess
