I've finally made a photostory about a magpie
A Reunion
Martha stumbled onto the yard,it was a gloomy Thursday morning and the yard was quiet.
She was surprised to find Max,a groom, who had already arrived and was bringing in Topsy and Valencia.
'Why the hard hat,don't tell me you've been riding already!?' Martha enquired
'Nah,don't worry,it's just going in to these two's field is suicide without a hat and some polos!' He chuckled. Martha smiled as she recalled the last time she attempted to catch them.
Martha thought that she should do something useful,so she walked over to the feed room to make a few feeds.She decided that she'd make the new arrival his breakfast,he wasn't being ridden as he'd only arrived yesterday and his owner was working most of the day.
She went over to the supplements and treats table to add a few chopped carrots to the newbies food,he needed something a bit more exciting than plain old oats.
She soon finished and headed over to Celyn's stable.He snorted as he smelt the smell of breakfast coming.Martha admired him,she hoped his owner would go on holiday soon so she could exercise Cel,he looked like a lovely horse to ride.
She then realised that her bunnies needed feeding so she headed round the back of the stables to the hutches and run.She put them out in the run one by one and put a pile of food in with them.They hopped around,excitedly.
She then played with them in the run for a bit and gave each one a quick cuddle.
She clambered out of the run and plonked herself down in the office.She started on some tiresome paperwork.It then struck her that today was a very special day,for today it was her birthday!She wasn't expecting anything,possibly a few cards through the post from her family.Ah well,she thought to herself,better get down to some serious paperworking.
A few moments later and Max popped his head round the door. 'Phoebe wants some help in the back field,don't know what for,she wanted me to tell you,' he muttered.
'Okay sure,tell her I'll come in a sec!'Martha replied
'Okie dokies' Max exclaimed
A few minutes later,she headed out to the field.
"SURPRISE" everyone exclaimed
"Oh gosh,thank you so much for all this!" she said as she glanced at her presents.Sat on the table, was an expensive bottle of wine,a wrapped present,a gold framed photo of a gorgeous appaloosa stallion and many other things.
"Wait a second,before you admire them,look at this ..." Max told her,as the crowd of riders stepped to the side.
Martha gasped."Where the heck did you get him!?"
The gift whinnied at the site of Martha.
"It's my baby,Theo!"
She ran up to him and gave him a gigantic hug."I missed you," she told him,under her breath.
"I can't believe you found him!This horse is the best,I backed him when I was a teenager,we then went on to win dozens of trophies.I had to give him up before Uni,as I just didn't have the time.How did you find him?I searched for him a few years ago,and called the number the owners had given me,but they'd moved house"
"We'll leave you to guess" Max said
"Thank you everybody,this is the best birthday ever!"
A few minutes later,she got his tack out and mounted.Her heart was racing as she remembered the excitement of riding him for the first time,many many years ago.
She gave him a final hug before they set off for a hack together.Martha loved him,and he loved her too.
THE END
Apologies for the awful ending,I can't think what to write :roll: :oops: :roll: So yes,both he and Celyn (Julip Oliver) are newbies.Theo is my 6th Magpie(they multiply quickly!) and my first magpie that isn't an Arab XD
