![]() One day, when there was a good deal of kicking, my mother whinnied to me to come to her, and then she said: Sometimes we had rather rough play, for they would frequently bite and kick as well as gallop. I used to run with them, and had great fun we used to gallop all together round and round the field as hard as we could go. ![]() There were six young colts in the meadow besides me they were older than I was some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed near the grove.Īs soon as I was old enough to eat grass my mother used to go out to work in the daytime, and come back in the evening. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. While I was young I lived upon my mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank. ![]() Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end. The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. ![]() You should visit Browse Happy and update your internet browser today!
