xx at the tether xx

[JACK DANIELS XX]

<sub>"Whoa, steady on down girl." The masculine voice boomed out gently as he placed a hand on the mare's shoulder as she threw up her head at the shock of someone suddenly turning up at her stable door. The bay head higher than himself, but she was no threat, she was completely the opposite, beside's if she wasn't she wouldn't be able to do much inside the stable due to been in foal and due this spring. Not to mention the foal should be very popular, with fantastic lines and will probably earn much more money then people could even predict. The mare, Rose, was a doll, she wouldn't hurt anything, and was probably one of his faverites considering she seemed to mother his own daughter.


"Daddy. Can i do it. Daddy?"</sub>

[/color] The little angelic voice rang out as some small chubby arms wrapped around his left leg and the he looked down with a smile. His daughter looked up, grinning as the mare popped her head over the stable door and dipped it for the toddler to stroke and poke at her muzzle. "Come on then, but remember to be gentle with rose, okay?" He said as he took her into his arms and he gave her the ehad collar as he entered the stable and the mare stepped back, she seemed to be used to this regular occurance at the weekends. "Because she having a baybe?" Payton said as she held the head collar out correctly and the mare put her nose in.


Five minutes later, with a small struggle from the child she led her down the aisle of the barn towards the tethers. It was such an amazingly heart warming sight. A blonde haired little princess and a huge bay fat mare walking side by side in silence out of the barn. Jack rubbed his chin and smiled as he called out for his daughter to wait as he entered another stable and he haltered another mare, Cassie. Then they walked together towards the tether. There jack tethered both the mares and he found him and his daughter a grooming kit.


"Be gentle at her belly remember." He told her as she picked up the correct brush and began to brush at the mares leg gently. The mare was on a long lead rope, so she could have free movement with the little tot around her, some wouldn't agree, but Jack was pretty positive she wouldnt hurt her. So he stood their, grooming down the slightly more bouncy mare Cassie who stood eating at a haynet.
