I'm on a Horse

[Start (you are here)] | Next (n/a) | [End (n/a)]


     Cecelia Downey was not a rural kind of person. She was not a cowgirl no matter how much she wanted to be.. She was raised in the middle of the Los Angeles. She weighed under a hundred pounds when she graduated high school. Her upper body strength was minuscule to nonexistent. She was just not a physical sort. Anyone would tell you that. They’d also talk about her weirdly chipper attitude and love for animals. Cece finished college with a degree in animal sciences and promptly decided to become an animal trainer. After a brief stint of training exotic animals for movies, she decided to switch to training dogs (something about the smell of cat pee disagreed with her). Cece got a job out in the midWest training hunting and working dogs on a farm.

     Working on a farm was definitely different. Getting up early in the morning. Going to sleep early in the evening. Needing to actually wear a hat to keep from burning in the sun. Cece loved it. She loved getting to dress the part of a real cowgirl. She loved learning the slang everyone else used. She loved making friends with the people and the dogs. It was all around a pretty sweet gig.

     But Cece’s favorite part of moving out of state was getting to meet a lady named Allison Dellue. They’d talked for years, having met on some internet chat site while they were both still in college. Ally had gone on to run a successful ranch called Mad Galloping Farms. MGF was located about an hour away from the farm where Cece worked. Within no time the two decided to meet up for lunch.

     Their lunches became a normal thing. Every Thursday afternoon they met up in the town situated halfway between the two places and tried a different restaurant. They talked about things going on at their respective ranches. Cece talked about dogs and Ally talked about horses. Afterwards the two friends would grab donuts before heading back home. Good times, good times.

     The day Cece decided started riding was a day Allison never forgot. Cece showed up at MGF (on her day off mind you) and went in search of Allison. She promptly paid for a set of lessons. Apparently all of Ally’s talk about horses had rekindled Cece’s desire to ride; she’d done it as a child for a year or two before she quit due to lack of time. The MGF staff put her up on one of the easier horses.

     Cece still fell off. Apparently the look on one of the horse’s in an adjoining pasture had such an odd look on its face that she couldn’t contain her laughter, spurring her to laugh until she cried and fall off. Still, every time she had a day off or free time, Cece could be found practicing her horsemanship or riding skills. Her horsemanship improved immensely. Within two weeks she could lead the larger stallions from place to place with nary a problem. No one misbehaved when she went to clean the stalls or groom someone who got a bit messy. Her riding was another matter. The word “improvement” implies a bit more than it should in her case. Cece stopped falling off all the time and got the basic positions down. Her form was terrible; heels up, tunnel vision stare, the works. Yet somehow, SOMEHOW, she was completely fine. None of the horses gave her trouble or tried to take off with her. There was just something about her that brought out their better half. It was weird tbh.

Trust me, it looks better murdered by filters. Much better :'T

Just getting this up there because this is the OFFICIAL START of SFR's storyline. All other stories are all hold until I complete it up to ~modern~ times. Then I'll go back and add other/older stories. YEP.

This piece is based on my entering HARPG due to meeting :iconallisondellue:. It's only fitting she be included in this. <3 The horse is hers; Satan's Pride. I wanted to use one of her older horses since this is supposed to happen quite some time ago).
