Story:

---

Falada  is in her stall. She has been in her stall for whats seems to be, forever. She is not feeling very patient at the moment. Her legs are tingling, begging to move. She is full of energy. She is upset over the fact that she hasn't been able to go running today. Now that she thinks about it even more, none of the horses have gone out. The stable was quite quiet, but the silence didn't give Falada any comfort. As if reading her thoughts, Adriana's foot steps is heard. Falada's angry mood immediately went away, her ears perking to the soothing sound of her rider.  If she were a dog her tail would be swishing about excitedly and she would begin a storm of happy panting. But all this horse can do is stand patiently, the only sign that gives away her mood is her alertness. Moments are passing by and to Falada's relief, Adriana finally makes it to her mare's stall. Falada immediately directs her eyes to Adriana, asking her when they can go on a ride or gotothepastureorjustgowalkingwhencantheydosomething. Adri chuckled, understanding Falada's eagerness. "There there" she says as she begins to groom her mare. Falada is trying so hard not to paw at the ground, she knows Adriana doesn't allow temper tantrums (well an display of "i want it and i want it now"). "Theres a blizzard outside" Adri says, her words immediately distracting Falada of her bottled energy. "Lucky we are to be able to participate in a liberty show today" her rider continues, while she is putting small bells in the white mare's mane. Once she is finishes, Adri grabs a pile of what seems to be wires and begins making a sort of harness with it. Falada tilts her head, trying to understand. Adri finishes and finds the switch that turns on the lights on the wire. The lights are on, radiating different colors all around the stall. The stall is lighted and Falada is remembering what happens when she wears these lights.

Horse and Owner are in the middle of the arena. Which has Christmas decorations all around it, and there appears to be a audience. Falada looks around, seeing all the space where she can stretch her legs. She is ready for this. Adri looks her in the face, they make eye contact. "Have fun my sweet mare" Adri says as she pets her horse's cheek. She takes off the constricting halter, and then the music plays. Falada immediately begins trotting around the arena. Gracefully carrying herself, feeling her mane and tail swish behind her. She begins cantering, lowering her head and displaying her muscular neck. She raises her head and continues her flawless canter. Her hair appearing to be a shimmer, the bells attached are lightly jingling. The harness is bouncing with the horse's gait, giving colorful lights to Falada's legs. The horse shows happiness in every step. The music stops playing all too soon. Knowing that's her cue, Falada immediate began looking for Adriana. Finding her, she trots to her. The halter is put on again, and they leave the sweet arena.
