Alexis starter :Riding accident
Category: Blogging

It was such a nice day Alexis decided to go out. Usually she went out during the night because it was much less crowded, but she wouldn't even go there. She headed toward the stables because she knew exactly what she wanted.

**

She could hear the horses as Alexis headed toward the stall where her horse Starlight was. She opened the door and got the tack off. She preferred to bridle her own horse and saddle it as well. She had observed the stable hands before  when she had wished to ride and it seemed very easy. Starlight was gentle and waited patiently. She was even able to climb on the horse. Soon they were off.

Starlight went off in a light canter. Soon they would be out of sight of the castle , but Alexis trusted her horse to find her way back. Everything seemed fine as they neared some woods but Alexis tried to pull Starlight back. EVen though it was still light out inside the woods things were always darker. But her horse refused. Alexis gave in hating the idea and wondered what inside the forest could draw such a gentle horse toward what seemed a scary place.

**

Alexis’ uneasiness grew as they entered and kept on going. Her fear of it being dark was being realized as it did grow darker. “Let’s leave please,” she said, hoping the horse understood. She could feel Starlight already feeling skittish and gripped the reins tighter. What a horrible place to get lost in.

**

Without warning Starlight suddenly jumped and went off at a fierce gallop through the woods. Unfortunately Alexs in the saddle was hit by low hanging branches and many cut through her arms painfully until she lost her hold on the reins and fell to the ground. Still conscious she yelled out, “Starlight!” but the horse kept going until she lost sight of her.

**

Even though Alexis was hurt in places nothing seemed broken or sprained as she painfully got to her feet and decided  to follow where her horse had gone hoping she hadn't gotten too far ahead and if she was lucky was waiting patiently in the forest ahead and not back at the stables.
