Redd & The Mare
A friend's tale
In the days of men and horses
There was a lonely mare
Stumpy and weak
Wean from his mother
Yearning for his first rider
And a young boy named Redd
Happy and cheerful but
Without friends
For his birthday, his father
Took him to the horse ranch
He try and sat on all the up
And coming horses but they
Were not right, too tall and too Rudy but then at first sight their eyes locked on the mare and as he rode the mare they instantly lock hearts
Though it was not easy and they were stubborn and strong willed their relationship mature
One day years later his family wanted to sell the mare but Redd cried out against all odds and bargain to work for what he wanted
When his family fell on hard times again, Redd paid in advance working three jobs and his love for the mare grew.

Months passed he recover by the hand of a nurse, his new friend but mare forgotten about Redd and did not know all the savings he gave for him. And Redd came to see the mare with his new friend, taking time to remember and heal the mare did not allow his new friend to ride but he let her brush him. Redd rode mare for what he did not know was his last time and their legend lives on.
