The barn was quiet. At least, for a minute. Then the banging of a horse trying to bang the door open returned, filling the near silence. Then a somewhat crazed whinny filled the air. It wasn't a good idea to lock up a wild horse in a stall, but the people here weren't the smartest. They just got money from keeping the facility open and usable.

My nose slightly wrinkled in distaste as I walked through the sales barn. It was run by idiotic people who didn't really care about the horses in it. Or at least this one was. My train of thought was interupted as I heard a frantic whinny down the aisle. I quickened my pace and came to a halt where the noise was coming from.

A dun Mustang was inside creating all the racket. I frowned at the condition she was in. She was obviously wild with her behavior. They should have at least put her in one of the roundpens outside. She seemed young. Hey girl.. I spoke softly. I didn't dare try to offer my hand yet. I didn't know if she had a bad temperment or not.

Vicky snorted, her head pulling back as she backed away from the stall door. She had only been brought in a few days before, and so far her experiences had not been pleasant. She had no reason to trust the human race, not now anyway. However, she noticed something different about this girl. Most mustangs weren't as trusting, but Vicky had always been the foolish dreamer among her herd.

I felt pity for the frightened horse. Easy girl. It's okay. I bet you haven't hadthe best time huh? I said calmly, I searched my pockets and found a few pieces of carrot. I quickly lowered my hand into the stall and tossed it towards the mare onto the bare mats of the stall. They could have at least bedded the damn stall down.. I thought as my hand retreated from the stall.

Curious as to what it was, the mare's main weakness, she reached down, making snuffling noises. She lipped up one piece and chewed. Her chewing got more enthusiastic and she picked up the other pieces quickly, bringing her head up to re-examine this girl. Still not done chewing, she took a few steps forward, stretching her neck out to nose as close as she could get to where the carrot had come from in an attempt to get more. She wasn't unfriendly or mean, more scared.

You like those I see. I said with a smile as the mare searched for more. I found a few more and slowly offered them to her on my flattened palm. Since the mare wasn't showing aggression, yet, I was already planning on getting her. I needed a new project, what with selling my filly Kiss, and this poor mare didn't deserve to be left here.

The mare attempted to lip them up, but one fell and she walked forward to get close enough to reach it decently. She didn't back up again, but she didn't go closer. However, she was starting to relax, her ears no longer flat against her skull. Closer to sideways, but more forward than back.

I smiled as the mare became closer and did not try and get away again. That's a good girl.. I murmured. I drgged my gaze from the mare into the aisle, looking for her owner.

That's when one of the market schleps came by, posting up a sign on her stall that read "To buy, see the front desk", before continuing onwards to post up some more signs. Vicky shied away when he came by, but returned when he was gone again, getting curious now.

I frowned as she shied away, not liking her response to the man. When she came back, I smiled at her. I'll be right back sweetie. I told her before leaving the stall to find the front desk. When I got there I said, I'm interested in purchasing the dun mustang mare in stall 6.

That would be Vigilante, Vicky for short. She's $300.00. Cheque, cash or card?

The person clearly didn't actually care and was probably surfing porn on the internet or something.

I tried to hide my distaste as I replied. Cash. I replied. I took out my wallet and took out the $300 needed. Are there any forms I need to fill out? I asked.

Not for her. Just sign this.

He finally looked away from the screen and picked out a paper from an organized filing cabinet, clearly not organized by him. Probably the lady who worked here weekends and actually cared about the horses. If anything changed for the better around here, it was her doing. Always had been. He placed the papers on the desk and slipped the money into the cash.

Yes. I replied. After he handed me the reciept, I took the papers and walked away quickly, back to..Vicky's stall. Hey girl. Let's get you out of here. I replied and grabbed a leadrope. I opened the door slowly, wary on what she may do.

She shied away, but didn't move so much as lean away. Her nostrils flared nervously at the thing in the girls hand. Last time she'd seen one it had been used to whip her into the stall.

Easy girl.. I said as I dug out another carrot piece and held it out to her slowly, taking one step near.

She reached out to grab the carrot piece, still eying the lead rope but definitely distracted by the food. Especially since all she'd gotten here was overly-dry hay. For a horse used to lush grass, hay was disgusting.

I smiled lightly and as the mare was distracted by the carrots, I clipped the leadrope onto the halter that hung on her head. I handed her another carrot and opened the door and began to walk forward, with a soft pull on the lead rope.

With a snort, mid-bite, Vicky pulled back instinctively on the rope. It wasn't her being stubborn so much as she didn't know it meant 'follow'. When that only made it pull harder, she gave in with a sigh and stopped pulling back, figuring out that if she walked forward she avoided the pull.

I froze as the mare reacted badly to the rope. I quickly melted though as I watched her realized what the tug meant. Good girl. I said lightly to her. I led her slowly down the barn aisle and out into the fresh air. I became more wary. My trailer wasn't very far, but she was a Mustang, so she may just try and follow her instincts. That's a good girl.. I mumbled to her, trying to keep her attention on me. I offered her another carrot piece as well.
