eek Halloween night, it is dark in the woods on this night. Black is wandering by the shimmer of moon light tonight. His ears are upright and forward listening to the sounds of Halloween trick or treaters! Walking along the twigs pop under his hooves as he steps among the tall dark trees ..... I think he may be looking for the horseman tonight! The Black is watching as he sees the old wooden bridge in the distance, the place he and the horseman once met long ago. Would he be there tonight? If so the Black was ready for him this time! Teeth showing like glimmering white chips of ice! Heels ready to do battle with strong deadly kicks to the horseman if he dares to show himself this time! Suddenly a mist covers the woods.... the moon is dark now,hmmm what is it? BANG! Oh yes I hear the clanking of the horseman's chains! The Black takes hold in the woods,now charging at a full gallop toward the horseman! Standing on his back legs he paws his front hooves into the horseman's body! Swirls around and gives him two solid back feet into his back! Now the horseman is helpless! He is on the ground and asking for mercy!
The Black stands still,very still now... Go now! Go now horseman and never come to the bridge on this night again for 100 years!
In a blink of your eye the Black turned and was gone! The horseman mounted his horse and fled into the night....Will he return? Hmm? sweatdrop

The morning started as any other...the black was quietly grazing in the meadow. The old woman walked to the horse and gathered him to her,greeting him this day. He looked into her face,putting his nose to her cheek and she could feel his breath. Good morning my friend, lets walk for a bit,shall we? The two walked along the fence line,back toward the barn. In the distance they could hear music...a village gathering of the cowboys was taking place and the band was playing for the riders as they competed. One by one as they pulled the great bulls down,the rider received a bright colored ribbon to show his success as a badge!
The black was very restless listening to the familiar sounds,pounding hooves and the site of the dust flying in the distance! I think he feared for his friends as many a mighty steed was gored by the angry bulls in the arena.
Today was a day to be greatful of his existance, in the world he was in.....

Today the two of us wandered thru the pastures. It was sunny and bright all the grass was green after the rains. The black was very steady as he walked the meadow, making sure he would not stumble. Looking ahead to see all he could see, ears up and nostrils smelling the fresh spring air! He looked very shiny and black today in the line of the big oak trees shadows. In the distance a dog was watching every step the black took... It would be a mistake for any such dog to come toward the black,as he was known to lower his head and show his bright white teeth to any animal that might threaten me. He snorted at the air and made his warning known! Off in the distance the big dog approached...Ok I will hold on! Go black go!!!! Oh up and off we went in a flash of galloping,pounding hooves! Faster and faster,right up to the big dogs tail! Run dog,I shouted ! Run for your life! The blacks teeth were very close to the back of the dog! I pulled the reins and slowed him to a stop! The black stood firm now, haha dog you will live to see another day!

Into an old woman's heart a horse with soul will enter. gifted and spirited pure and jet black shall he be,carrying the old woman to youth and invigerated life. He alone will know what these two shall share.It was a cool day,the black was out in the fields grazing,head down,listfully tasting the green grass of spring. I could see him from the alleyway between the big barns,so I whistled to him...his head went up,his eyes searching for me! I called to him and he galloped over to the fence! I greeted him with my extended hand on his face. Hello my friend! I opened the gate and put on his halter gathering him up to go the barn. He was so happy to see me today, like two pals we walked the stoney path to the barns. We entered the big arena where we played and exercised. Then to the stall for the blacks feeding time, as it was early evening,he was waiting for his grain. I placed him in the stall,he turned and looked at me,telling me by his gestures I was to stay awhile and brush him! This was his special time, just he and I,quietly spending a few moments hanging out together,no others to interrupt the tranquility of the blacks grooming. I could hear his soft breathing as I brushed his neck. He didn't even take to his grain at this time, as he wanted complete relaxation now. His head hung down and his muscles were very soft as I rubbed his neck,he turned and nuzzeled my shoulder as if to say"thank you". I don't think he knew that I too enjoyed this time together as much as he did! No rules to follow,no noise, just two friends spending the evening time in quiet pleasure.
