Teddie and Oakley // A Photo Story

Since Cadence was using her bedroom to do a post, Teddie twisted her hair up and laced up her boots. She went out the door and headed down the street to the neighbor's farm. She couldn't wait to spend some time with her friend, Oakley.

Bridle in hand, she called the horse, "Here, Oakley!"

He began to walk towards her.

When he got within arms reach, Teddie slipped an apple out of her pocket. "Good boy."

Today, she didn't saddle him up to ride. She walked him around, working to match their strides.

He flared his nostrils, heaving a breath, and chewed the bit occasionally. 

"Stay still while I brush your mane," Teddie said.

After she'd finished brushing, she braided his mane for fun. Then, she took the bridle off, and he trotted away to sniff at the grass. She watched for a minute, reluctant to go. But homework called, so she turned and set off on the road back home.
