Right As Rain

My name is Rainy. I'm a spectacular, big, friendly Percheron-cross gelding. I have a wonderful mind, and I'm not bad looking, either! I'm 6 years old this year, and I'm spending the summer in the mountains, where I'm learning to be a proper grown-up horse!

For heaven’s sake! We are having the most upsetting weather. The storm bell is ringing on the porch, the trees are blowing like mad, and the air is dry and cold, and full of zappy energy. A horse could get shocked by any old thing today, not just the fence. It’s scary and I don’t like it one bit. 

So I’m already on alert from watching for lions, since I can’t hear them sneaking up on me with this wind blowing, and here comes my human with a long yellow tape-thing with numbers on it. She put it all over my head, and said some of the numbers. It was kind of weird, and I left a couple of times, but she kept at it.

Finally she let us out to graze. It’s just as windy and upsetting in the rest of the yard as it is in our corral, but at least there is grass. And darned if she didn’t come out again later and put that yellow tape-thing around my head and throat again later. I wouldn’t have minded at all, but she made me hold my head up while she did it. At least I got a candy that time!

Now, finally, we are being left to graze in peace. Well, except for the scary wind blowing everything.  I wonder what she was up to?
