Description
Trying to relax and just draw. Nothing serious and realistic
║ Story ║
Training was officially starting. Carlo had taken the day off and had taken care of Diana early in the morning. He had already put his bow and Diana’s tack under a tree for later. Diana was standing in her stable, the sun was making her fur shine. She put her head through the stable when she heard Carlo’s footsteps. “Hello again girl. You ready for today?” Diana sniffed a snack and let out a loud snort. Carlo took the apple parts out of his pocket and gave it to the mare. He petted her head and opened the stable door. Throughout the days he and Diana had formed a good bond and were now at a point that he could walk around with her without a halter on. He clacked his tong to get her attention. Her ears shot forward, and she followed him happily, while chewing the last of her apple.
The training today was near the big lagoon. There was a grass field there that was glowing with yellow flowers and some small purple flowers. The trees gave enough shade to keep the pair cool if needed and the falling water that fell in the background gave a calming effect. Carlo walked over to his bow and pulled the string a few times. Diana was looking curiously, and her eyes followed the moving string. She walked forward and smelled it. It smelled natural, but the red handle showed it was something made. “Weird right. It’s a bow”. Carlo released the thread, not thinking that Diana was standing close. The thread scared her. She awkwardly jumped backwards with a scared neigh. Carlo’s eyes went wide. “No, I’m so sorry, Diana! God, that almost hid your head. Why am I so fucking dumb”. He put the bow on the ground and walked over to his horse. Her nostrils were still wide from the sudden scare, but her eyes and breathing were already calming down.
“I’m so sorry”. He petted her head. Diana accepted a few pets but was already plotting a revenge plan. Even with her calm nature, she knew she had to keep Carlo entertained from time to time. She put her head down, looking sad and walked past Carlo. He felt guilty seeing his horse sad. She walked closer and closer to the bow, bowed her head down even further and quickly took it off the ground. Carlo finally saw through the act. “Diana, don’t you dare”. The mare let out a large breath and took off. “DIANA!” Carlo immediately ran after her, but thanks to her show jumping training she had became a lot faster. He couldn’t keep up. She was also toying with him. She would go fast and slow down just enough so he could get close, just to get back to her fast speed. She happily let her head fly up and down, the bow strongly in her mouth.
After about 15 minutes of sprinting Carlo was exhausted. He gave an annoyed wave at Diana letting her know he was done. She put her ears up and watched Carlo go to the trees and sit down. He put his back against the tree and cleaned his sweaty head with his shirt. Diana came to him and dropped the spit covered bow in front of his feet. He put up his thumb. “Thanks.”
