Somehow today turned into Cordeo-Day. It began with me forgetting Angel's halter, when I went to the pasture to get her. Started like this: Late in the evening Hera went out to get Angel from the pasture. She is currently our only mare, and find herself to be sometimes a little lonely, which is why we added my heartbeat Lucky to her pasture as he is a gelding.
So she went there like she always does. So when she got to the pasture and had caught the mare, she looks at her free hand and only found a rope. Huh. She thought. Where is the halter? She looked around the pasture, with her eyes only, while holding onto Angel's nose with the other hand.
When she didn't find it, she just threw the rope around the neck of the mare, and led her out of the pasture.
In the stable she was met by Malfoy, one of the stallions at the stable, in the open stall with no idea to why he was there. She bound the mare to the hook at the grooming place and startet brushing the mare, while eyeing Malfoy suspiciously.
"Hey Hera!" Someone said and soon after Erica came to the part of the stable where Hera was.
"Hi Erica. You know why Malfoy is in the open stall right now?" She asked while nodding towards the stallion.
"Yeah, I put him in there when I took Jones to the stable, so he wouldn't have to be alone out there. And I could feed him before riding Jones." She answered and then looked to the door, before looking at Hera again. "Imma go now. I need to go to the bathroom and Smile is out there holding onto Jones, while I'm in here, so I have to be quick."
Erica waved goodbye, and Hera answered it with her own wave, before going back to Angel's grooming. When she was done, she fed the mare and went outside with her for a walk in the forrest. But on her way out she saw something she didn't expect.
"Erica? What are you doing?" Hera called out to the purple-haired woman.
"I'm riding with cordeo!" She laughed her reply out, and pat the neck of the stallion.
Heras eyebrow shot to her forhead, while she watched Erica ride the stallion with so little help. She had never tried cordeo herself, only a few times for taking horses in from the pasture, if she had forgotten the halter, so she had no idea how to use it. She then stood still and pulled out her phone.
"Take a photo!" Erica yelled to her, before Hera snapped a picture and smiled at her.
This day is nice. She thought to herself, while walking toward the forrest with the mare. Maybe she should try out the cordeo herself one day...
