These situations always fire my blood to dangerous combustion levels, there have been numerous times that Nathan has had to manhandle me kicking and screaming from various horses at the sales, in fact, I’m rarely allowed to accompany Dad anymore on his occasional trips, the only exception being when we are selling horses. For many reasons, I tend to lose it at sales, to me, horses are innocent; they couldn’t possibly do anything to deserve ill treatment.

When we sell at sales we only sell at big ones and not our best horses; they are always sold at shows or advertised in the Horsedeals mag, but more often than not they aren’t ever advertised as there is a waiting list of interested buyers. Angus always says it’s my job to ride the horses in the sales ring because we statistically get more money. If I ride them, they then appeal to females, males and teens. I reckon it’s because I’m little that it must look seem if a little girl can ride these horses, anybody can.

Angus insists I wear pink and plait my hair in two swinging braids. Nathan always rolls his eyes because Angus couldn’t give a crap about me brushing my hair any other day, and let it be remembered the one day I asked him to brush a big knot out he pulled out the clippers! I ran. But on sales day I have to pass for a six- year old or something, and apparently, six-year olds always wear pink boots and pink ribbons in their knot free shiny hair.

Whatever has happened to him has caused him to lose his inner will to live.

He honestly couldn’t give a stuff what happened to him now. What the hell happened to cause someone to let him get to this state? It’s not like he could have cheated on someone or anything.

Just what is he feeling now? Or is he feeling anything at all.

“Harry?” I ask hoarsely. I don’t care that people keep stopping and peering at me like I’ve lost my mind as long as they keep their mouths shut. This is my horse and he will be just amazing once he see’s that he is loved again and believed in. People will eat their assumptions. Or I will shove them down their throat, either way, it won’t matter me. Today is this horse’s last day of feeling like nothing.

“Av? You need something?” Harry asks gently.

I don’t turn around because I’m on edge here, in many regards. If I even
