Example: Minnie was lead into the auction ring by a burly man wearing black breeches and a quiksilver t-shirt. He was strong and obviously didn't understand horses in the way some people did. He didnt get they owned their minds and they weren't on earth to do whatever any human said to do. Minnie was a very opinionated and unique indiviadual. She didn't belong to any clique or stereotype. Yes she wasn't going to let anything bully her, yet she did respect others and she was very gentle to those who earnt her respect. She was unique but not odd, she was a lovely willing horse that wanted to please those who were well-mannered. Yes, Minnie was a horse, but she was very human like.

The auction ring was surrounded by plenty of people looking for the perfect horse yet knew they would walk away with a dud, or those wanting something that wasn't perfect but suitable, and walked away with the most amazing horses. These people made Minnies ears flicker and eyes roll to try and keep an eye on what everyone was doing. She was tugged forwards by the handler, the rope halter rubbing her skin were it was fit too tightly, she reared in pain and anger at the man pulling hard on the rope and whinnying.

The price is one thousand five hundred for this sensitive mare. She has been slowly training towards eventing. Minnies owner walked in and grabbed Minnie of the groom. Boy, if only looks could kill that guy would have had a heart failure or been shot at. Minnie settled down with the familiar and kind hand and followed the lady round in walk and trot showing her elegant strides.

Nathan Story entered the auction house with a slight yawn. He hadn't slept in nearly two weeks now, seeing that he had nothing to do with his life. No horse meant no riding, which killed him faster than anything else possible. But, he was hoping to change that today. Maybe he could manage to go home with a horse today.

He sat in the stands, head in his hands as he tried to calm a head ache that had suddenly overcome him. Only did he look up when he heard to word eventing, and his eyes went wide as he looked at the mare. Slowly he stood up and made his way over to the side of the ring, where he quickly glanced about the mare as she made her way around the ring. Sound, good confirmation...Stunning in color.

"1500!"

The auctioneer looked in Nathan's direction trying to work out if he actually bidded the asking price on a mare that just misbehaved in front of everyone, or maybe he was just a masochist and thought it would be fun to take on this obviously energetic and willed horse, but then the auctioneer didn't know this horse. That was the first rear she had done with someone in her life, all the others were showing the other horses who was boss.

That's a sale to the gentleman to the right the auctioneer shouted as Minnie was lead back to the stable block to await her new owner, the auctioneer diverted his eyes away from Nathan and over the rest of the crowd as the next horse was led in.



[masochist = gratification gained from pain, deprivation, degradation, etc., inflicted or imposed on oneself, either as a result of one's own actions or the actions of others, esp. the tendency to seek this form of gratification]
