Innocent Love » Places

         The sun beat down on Savannah as she stood up the hill from the barn with her jeans rolled up, bootless. She bent down and grabbed a cloth beginning to scrub the saddle nearest her with the leather conditioner. Hearing the voices coming from the barn she shaded her eyes with her hand from the light and squinted trying to catch a glimpse of who her father might have been talking to. She got back to work and decided to ignore it, he was probably just talking to the horses again... she thought to herself. Once she had finished all of the tack she left everything to dry on the fence and pulled on her boots fixing her jeans. Time to go riding she smiled brightly grabbing a halter off the fence and took off towards the pasture full of her precious babies out grazing.

Quietly, trying her best not to frighten the animals she slipped through the fence and jogged over to a paint mare. "Hey there girl...lets go for a run" She pulled the halter on and tied the loose rope around making it bridle then leading her to the gate holding it open as they walked through, locking it behind them. Taking note of the coast was clear she threw her leg over the mare's back and hopped on beginning at a slow jog and working their way up to a full gallop, they passed through the hills and were off the ranch before she could think twice.

They halted to a sudden stop by a small creek just a ranch over, hidden by trees and far enough away for no one to notice you. She slid off the mares bare back and let her continue to graze as she walked up to the creek and sat along the edge leaning her back against an old rotting fallen tree. After spending about an hour here she finally got to her feet and sighed quietly walking back to the mare. "We can't hide forever" She laughed.
