Hoof Beat (2012)
“CAROLE Hanson said, patting the black foal’s neck gently. Samson eyed Carole warily, then glanced at his mother, Delilah, who stood nearby.
Carole held a halter in her hand. She showed it to the foal. He looked at it curiously, but there was no fear in his eyes. This was the third day in a row that Carole had brought the halter to the fence by his paddock. She thought he was ready to try it on.
Although Carole was only twelve, she was an experienced rider. With Samson, she hoped to become an ex...perienced trainer as well. Samson had been born at Pine Hollow Stables, just a few months before. Carole and her best friends, Stevie Lake and Lisa Atwood, had been present at the birth. It had been one of the most exciting experiences they’d ever had. It was hard to believe, even now, that the fine strong foal who stood next to Carole had once been the scrawny newborn, struggling to stand up and take his first sip of milk. He’d grown tremendously in the first months and could now run around the paddock he shared with his mother for long periods of time.MoreLess
