A Horse Rescue
Sounds like I'm going to have to give your stepmother another strike tomorrow, but oh well. Georgie says, looking at her horse who nuzzles Georgie. That is when Georgie gets an idea. "Come on Tess, I want to show you something. Georgie says mounting her horse.
"Um Georgie I have no idea how to ride a horse." Tessa says as she looks down at the stirrups Georgie just chuckles, shifting slightly. She was used to people responding like that.
"Then it's good that I know how. Put your right foot in the stirrup and pull yourself on the stirrup it the loop thingy." Georgie says as Tessa looks at Georgie like she is crazy.
"What are you thinking isn't this dangerous? I don't know anything about horses." Tessa says as Georgie rolls her eyes at the over thinker as she tightens her grip on the reigns.
"And I know nothing about cars except what was on the driver license. I still drive. Seriously Tess I'll be doing all the steering. All you have to do is hold on tight. Come on I've seen what you enjoy. Let me show you one of my favorite things to do" Georgie says as Tessa sighs.
"Okay fine, but only because I want to see. Why you enjoy riding so much when a car or motorcycle is way faster." Tessa says pulling herself up on the horse. Georgie just hands her a helmet.
"Here, wear this. Just to be safe I don't want you getting hurt." Georgie says as Tessa looks at her oddly as Georgie herself wasn't wearing a helmet.
"Why aren't you wearing one?" Tessa asks as Georgie rolls her eyes and laughs. She usually wore a helmet, but she had only brought one with her, and she really didn't need one she had been riding forever.
"You said you've been fixing cars before you could walk. That's me, but with horses I've been riding since I was able to hold onto the pommel." Georgie says as Georgie looks at her questioningly. "Nevermind, but the point is I know how to ride Nova. I've been working with her since she was just a foal. We know each other better than anyone. Now just hold on." Georgie says as Tessa nods
"Alright Nova, to Watcher hill." Georgie says as the horse whinnies, but before they could run off two puppies whimper as Georgie just rolls her eyes. "Come on, you know you're allowed to come. Georgie says, opening the saddle bag as the two small pups jump in.Georgie then makes her horse go again.
…….
Wow this is so nice. I feel so..-- " Tessa started after getting use to the horse's trotting Georgie just smiles knowing what Tessa was going to say it what she felt every ride.
"Free..-- I know that's why I love it so much. It's a whole different world compared to the one my parents want me to live in." Georgie says patting her horse, who whinnies and slows to a stop. Georgie just easily dismounted and helps Tessa off the huge horse. "Thanks for the ride Nova." Georgie says as Tessa immediately looks to the older girl in confusion.
"Why did you bring me here?" Tessa asks as Georgie smiles looking up at the stars which were just starting to come out. This was the place she always came when she was frustrated or needed a break from people only she and her two friends knew about this place. Tessa just looks up at where Georgie was looking. "Whoa it's so beautiful!" Tessa says as Georgie nods.
"Yeah, I know it's my favorite place to come when I'm around the resort. It's far enough away from civilization and the view is beautiful. Only me and my friends know about this place, and since you're my friend. I figured I would show you since you're my friend now too." Georgie says as Tessa smiles.
"It's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen that many stars before." Tessa says as Georgie nods again her two pups nuzzling against her. Georgie just smiles at them shushing them
'Wees sterk, wees dapper. Laat moed die pad leiStaan regop en weet wie jy is Wilde hart, wilde siel." Georgie murmurs quietly the lullaby her grandfather had sung. The pups just cuddle closer. Before whinnies of terror broke through the night. Nova just quickly whinnies back. Looking at Georgie desperately. Georgie just nods, grabbing onto the horse. And pulling herself up.
"Tessa I recommend you get on and hold on as tight as you can. This is going to get bumpy." Georgie says as Tessa nods, not even questioning Georgie at this time. "Nova go!" Georgie says as Nova quickly gallops off. Georgie just quickly grabs her phone.
Hitting her friend's number, and putting it on speakerphone. "Hey G, what's up we're kind of busy. We've just heard the wild horse herd they needs us. " Lily says Georgie rolls her eyes heading the two familiar sets of hoofbeats.
"Same here I'll meet you there okay. Nova is really spooked which means something is very wrong." Georgie says as Lily nods, muttering something under her breath before both parties hang up.
"What are we doing?'' Tessa asks as Georgie just sighs. She was not planning on showing this much of her world tonight, but it was her job. Although her parents hated it.
"We're checking on the wild herd. It sounded like a cougar attacked. It looks like you'll know a lot about me by the time this is over." Georgie says as she knew Lily would talk too much.
A few minutes later the horse stopped and Georgie saw what was left of the herd. Nova just ran over to the herd as two other horses skidded to a stop. "Good boy Buckwheat, good girl Caramel. Please go check on the horses guys" Georgie's friend tells the horses as her two friends quickly dismount the horses. All three horse riders immediately noticed the hurt horse and foal.
Ethan take the foal, and Lily help me with the horse." Georgie says immediately, taking head of the situation. Tessa just stood back not knowing what to do.
"Breathing barely audible, heart rate is slow, faint and irregular. G, this one isn't going to make it. She's too injured, and we didn't bring all the stuff we needed to fox it all." Lily says as Georgie just sighs and nod before Ethan yells out.
"If you are done with that one I need this help with this she's unconscious I think but if she wakes up she is going to freak." ." Ethan says as both Georgie and Lily come over
"Tessa go to my bag and hand me a towel please." Georgie says looking at the marble white horse. Tessa quickly nods, going through Georgie's bag, and handing her the white towel. Georgie just smiles in thanks as she throws one end to Lily. Both carefully just put it over the horse's eyes, which would calm it if it woke up. That allowed Ethan access the damage.
"Breathing is a little a little labored, but it does have a few wounds so it understandable so breathing is good. Heart Rate is even and strong, she has a few scratches, the worst being on her stomach that will need to be cleaned and sewn shut to avoid infection." Ethan says as Georgie nods, taking over.
"The horse looks to be around two months old and since she is laying next to the dead mare. I'd say it's her foal. She is too young to be on her own. We're going to have to take her with us. It's the safest option." Georgie says as the other two nod, grabbing some stuff before Georgie even says a word. "We better sew her up before she wakes up. Otherwise we'll have to take her to the vet and you know we don't have the money at this moment." Georgie says Lily just hands her a pair of gloves which Georgie quickly put on.
Lily also puts some on as she quickly hands Georgie a needle and some thread from the horse's first aid kit. "Already ahead of you. Ethan make sure the towel stays on while we do this. Lily says as she hands Georgies antiseptic spray to clean the horse's wound.
……
About ten minutes passed and Georgie finished sewing the wound up and started to put the bandage around it . After she was happy with the turn out she got up. "Alright . Now help me carefully get her loaded up, and then I think we'll be finished for the night." Georgie says as it took both Lily and Georgie to pick the foal up and put it in the cart Caramel had on her back.
After that was when her two friends finally noticed Tessa. "Hey Poppins who's that?" Lily asks as Georgie smiles looking over to Tessa. Her friends had been too busy to notice her tag along until now.
"Lily, Ethan this is my new friend Tessa. Tessa these are my co-workers and best friends Lily and Ethan. Georgie says giving Ethan a glare that told him to stay quiet Ethan just nods.
"Hi I'm Lily! Its nice to meet you Tessa. I would shake your hand, but I'm covered in horse blood so yeah…" Lily rambles as Tessa chuckles at Georgie's friend "Oh, and that's my mighty horse Caramel." Lily says as Caramel snickers with an eyeroll.
"And I'm Ethan good to meet you Tessa, and the horse behind me is Buckwheat. Now we've got to go get cleaned up horse blood when it dries isn't pretty." Ethan says as both Ethan and Lily mount their horses
Georgie does the same, mounting Nova and helping Tessa up. "Goodnight guys, talk to you later.." Georgie says turning Nova around and they both run in their separate directions.
……….
"So you know how to fix a horse. You just keep surprising me." Tessa says playfully as Georgie chuckles. She knew just about everything about horses her grandfather had taught her how to take care of them and to help them get better.
You were raised with cars. I was raised with horses. I think I know just about everything there is about them at this point. Oupa made sure of it. That's why he gave me the stables to take care of. I knew everything about it." Georgie says as Tessa nods.
"Yeah, my dad left me his repair shop in his will, but my step family says I can't have it until my eighteenth birthday." Tessa says as Georgie sighs.
"That is just wrong. I'm sorry you have to deal with that." Georgie says as Tessa sighs.
"I'm use to it thank gosh it's only another year though. Than I will finally be free." Tessa says as Georgie sighs and nods.
She feels bad for Tessa because she has felt what she felt except it was the other way around she was despising the upcoming week because than she would be forced into a job she did not want to have.
"Maybe one day we can both get the freedom we want. Now come on we've got to get you back. It's eleven thirty and I've got to clean up and get you into your disguise Georgie says as Tessa sighs.
"I still don't like this idea, but alright." Tessa says as Nova continues to gallop back to the resort. This was just a start to a long week
