The cool, winter air nipped at her face as Sara stood rooted to the spot, her courage, and determination to take Maxwell for a ride dwindling by the second.
Maxwell’s head hung low, as his sad eyes continued to stare even as Sara turned and started to walk back home.
If only Sara knew that Maxwell’s soul and temperament were way too gentle for someone his size.

Thank you, Nidheesh. I’d be intimidated by a horse that’s as big as Maxwell too. Thanks for reading. 😄

Glad to know you liked it. Maybe with time, Sara will learn to understand Maxwell. You know, sometimes with your pets, you will know exactly what they want to convey even though they can’t speak. Hopefully, one day Sara and Maxwell can get there. Thanks for reading.

That picture drew me right in, Shweta. And then the story. I hope little Sarah finds the courage to get up on that horse and as she does, discover just how gentle she is.

Thank you for your kind words, Amy. I hope that Sara give Maxwell a chance. The poor guy must have been waiting for so long. ❤️
