Chapter 6

Kin heard Mrs. Holloway’s sharp inhale and looked up just in time to see her toss down an armful of wood and wade onto the mound of snow. But there must have been five feet piled up in places here along the tracks. It was only a moment before she floundered to a stop as one of her legs sank through the top layer of icy crust.

Kin rushed to her side and took her arm. “Come back, Mrs. Holloway.”

“If it puts its hoof into a hole in that field, it could break a leg and need to be put down before I have even taken possession of it!” There was an edge of panic in her tone.

Kin tugged for her to come down. “Look, they’ve caught him.” He pointed to where several men had surrounded the Appaloosa which hadn’t gotten very far due to the deep snow along the side of the tracks. The horse whinnied and pawed the air, but settled a little when a lasso cinched around its neck.

Mrs. Holloway gripped the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath. “Kin, if I ever tell you again that I’m thinking of buying a horse for a Christmas gift, will you please remind me what a terrible idea that is?”

He smiled at her. “We’ll be through this in under an hour and then you’ll see for yourself that this is going to be worth it. That horse looks to be a fine creature, ma’am, from what I saw of him just now. A fine creature.”

“Well I hope so.” Her eyes widened a little. “He looked somewhat wild, don’t you think?”

Indeed. Probably only green broke. But he didn’t want to add to her discomfiture, so all he said was, “A horse with some life to him, yes ma’am. But those are the best kind.”
