My Family Folklore and Me Getting a New Horse by Amie Dalby

My Family Folklore
By Amie Dalby

My mom went to go to the convenience store to get some soda for her and her boyfriend at home. My sister Amber was there and she saw her friend from the high school he goes too.
My mom has red hair yet orange at the same time. It’s like an orange and a apple combine. She is short like me, but a little taller like 5’ 2”. She has the most beautiful eyes ever. Her eyes are like as blue as the deep part in the ocean and as sparkling as a diamond in the sunshine.
Amber has had many different varieties of hair only because she dies it so much. But at the time it was reddish brown with red roots. It was short and fried from the straightening she did to her hair. It was fried like a flat French fry being in the oven so much
He was wearing shorts and his leg hair can almost rap around the whole earth. Yes, it’s that long. Amber tells him to het in the back seat of the truck and lay out his legs straight, so my mother would get freaked out.
My mother came out of the convenience store and came to the truck to put the soda in the back seat and she saw the leg and got startled and jumped as high as a rabbit.
They got in the truck and left to come back home. When my mother got home she came straight to me and told me the story I laugh so hard I couldn’t breath, so my heart stopped.
The time I got my new horse

My moms boyfriend asked me if I waned a horse, so he went all the way to Wyoming to get me a horse but then the guy sold him without telling us, so we found a horse in Riverton close by where our other horse stays. We got the horse and he wouldn’t come out of the trailer, it was weird. So the family horse, Jenny, was in heat when we got the two boy horses. So we had to separate them and they are still separated today. But before that happened the horses started to chase Jenny because they know she was a girl and in heat so they were chasing her and she ran straight into the bob wire fence and scraped up her whole chest, yet she kept running. A few days after that event one of the boy horses, Lloyd, (not my horse) tried to jump the fence and cut up his whole chest except this was a worse than Jenny’s because he cut out a huge chunk in his leg and you can see the bone. Yes, it’s that deep. But till this day it is heeling very well. We had the vet come out to the horse and take a look at him and he said that what we were doing was fine and that we didn’t need to do anymore. That it would heel just fine. Then he gave Jenny a birth control shot. Did you know that there was birth control for horses? I didn’t. So the horse that I got is now named Whitesocks because he has a white sock on all four legs.
