Friendly Foal
“Nickers gave a friendly nicker, and I hoped Amigo would get the message. Maybe he would trust my horse, even though he clearly didn’t trust me. If this kept up, people would have to start bringing their horses to Nickers the Horse Gentler.
Slowly I closed the gap between Amigo and me. “It’s okay, Amigo.” I tried to keep my voice low and easy, but I was too wound up from Gram and Sal.
The little gelding shied away from me.
I reached out for him, but he flinched. “I’m so sorry, Amigo.” I had to g...et him to his stall. I grabbed for his halter.
His head shot out, and he bit me.
“Ow!” I jerked my hand away. He’d caught me a good one on my upper arm, biting right through my jacket.
Amigo’s back twitched as if he had a swarm of flies after him. He cowered closer to the back wall, waiting for me to punish him.
“I’m not going to hurt you. I know you’re just scared.” I’d need to teach him not to bite. But it would have to wait until I gained his trust.
Carefully I touched his withers, out of reach of those surprisingly sharp teeth.MoreLess
