Jinny tacked up Storm and brushed
her. Once Jinny was on her mount, they rode together down the gravel drive way
to her favourite trail. When the pair were on the other side of their front
gate they turned right. The road would
eventually split into two narrow trails. Once they got to that part, they again
turned right. This was Jinny’s favourite trail. It was the true Australian
bush. Eucalyptus trees spread for hundreds of meters, some even had Koalas in
them. At some point the trail widened enough to let the horse and rider canter.
They had to slow to a walk when the road became narrow again, this time there
were not as many trees, most of them had been burnt from last year’s fires and
Jinny was starting to feel the hot sun on her skin. Today’s gonna be hot Jinny thought to herself. Finally they arrived
at a beach where they started cantering again. And before they knew it, they
were again back on the bush trail, but now going back on the trail to go home.
Once they passed the wide stretch of land were they cantered, disaster struck.
They were peacefully walking until a snake slithered past, Storm freaked out
and her nostrils flared and started breathing heavily. Jinny was scared too and
was trying to calm storm down but she started to buck, knocking Jinny right out
of her seat and making her fall hard on the ground. While Storm was still
bucking she stepped on the snake, in defence, it bit Storm below the knee and
slithered away barely injured. Jinny was left lying in on the hard dusty
ground, clutching her arm in pain. She couldn’t lye there forever, her horse
got bitten by a snake. That sentence motivated her more and more to get up and
forget about the pain to go tend her horse. Storm was panting. Jinny ripped of
her jacket and wrapped it up tightly around the bite marks which were oozing
blood. They weren’t far from home but what Jinny knew about snake bites was
that you couldn’t move much or the venom would spread faster. Jinny slowly led
Storm through the trail until their home could be seen.
I hope you enjoyed this story, as always please don't take it as it is mine :) Next Thursday will be part 3!
P.S-In Australia holidays will be coming, tomorrow is the last day before holidays, so I have two weeks of freedom, holidays also mean I will be doing regular updates of both my blogs because I will be spending more time at home!
Stay fluffy,
