 Rumor Has It[/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font][/center]
The four horse slant trailer drove across the smooth highway like a bird flying in the fly. Nothing seemed out of place other than the three horse's beside Adele. These three other horse's where much older geldings that they showed, but wasn't taking them when Adele went. Adele stomped her small black hoofs on the trailer as she tried to figure out who else was in the trailer. She nickered out trying to see if she knew who they where, but when one nickered back she didn't recoginze the nicker. Adele snorted and pushed her nose forward so she could try to look out the window that she couldn't reach, but she determinded that one day she would be able to. Adele was frightened when the trailer began to rock back and forth down a road. Adele tried to brace herself against the trailer, but it didn't help from getting thrown agains the slant and trailer. Adele went wide eyed showing white in her eyes and whinnied again, but then it stopped so she calmed down and stood like the other three horses's.
Adele heard some noise come from the back of the trailer and then the trailer was brighten up by the outside light. Adele nickered, but still no answer as she heared the humans talk to the three horse's. Adele nickered again, but was greeted by the young girl who took care of her. Adele auds went forward and tossed her head. She stood there and let the young girl remove the slant and took ahold of her halter as she began to tell her to "back up" which ran through her ears until she reached the sunlight. Adele's looked around ther surrounding trying to figure out where she was, but didn't get a chance once she felt a tug on her lead as they began to walk away following the other three geldings into the barn.
Adele didn't like this barn as it smelled rusty and moldy, but she followed the three geldings infront of her. Adele kept her auds forward as she walked trying to listen to all the things around her trying to figure out where she was at. Her ears picked up different sounds of horse's nickering to her which she wanted to nicker back, people talking, and a loud sound that spooked Adele. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she didn't like it one bit. She reared up as her legs flew forward as she tried to get away from all these noises that spooked her, but then was stopped by the lead rope becoming tight and the young girl talking to her.Knock it off Adele...Your fine. she said as she took a better hold of Adele's lead. Adele pranced beside the young girl, until she watched the three geldings disapear into a pen with other horse's as other people took their leads and stood waiting. Adele nickered to them, but wasn't sure what was going on until the left and came back out through another door. Adele pranced and shook her neck as her mane went side to side. Adele followed a girl into a stall that looked like a show stall with a couple of cross-ties and mats on the floors. She was put on the cross-ties as she stood there as the young girl began to run brushes across her body. She picked each foot up as seh cleaned them and painted her hoofs. Adele snorted and felt like she was in a show and that relaxed her. Once the young girl finished her prep Adele knew she looked beautiful and snorted and tossed her head alittle as the girl giggle alittle and handed Adele a treat and Adele took it and chomped on it.
Adele was taken off the cross-ties as they began to take of her old halter and put on her show halter and fix it to make it fit her again. Adele stood like a queen and watched them hustle around her as the young girl got changed to better looking clothes, but it wasn't her show clothes and Adele was worried, but waited. Adele walk out of the stall and followed the girl down the isle as more horse's walked past her out of the barn. Adele stood at the door where the loud "Bang" noise was coming from. She was scared, but followed the young girl into the pen in a trot. They trotted around the pen once and came to the middle and Adele set up as her ears went back to hear:
"Rumor Has It Aka Adele, Yearling Quarter Horse Filly, Show in AQHA Halter Classes, 4-H Halter, Should mature to 16hhs. Nice, sweet filly with some spunk. A good project filly if your looking for a starter horse. So lets start the bid for $100."
[/color][/font] Adele stood there listening to the noise around her and knew where she was at now..She was being sold to someone, but she didn't know who... [/center][/font][/size] |

Ashleigh drove up in her blue F-150 truck. She was looking for a new horse. She stopped the truck and got out. She was jsut in time for the first bidding. She scanned her eyes around looking for what could be good deals. She looked a black Quarter Horse filly. She seemed calm and good. She seemed like she'd be good in western to. She was first in to. What luck! Ashleigh thought. The filly was lead into the ring. Ashleigh watched her move around. The bidding was starting at 100 dollars. She raised her hand. The auctioneer nodded and said"100. We have 100! Do we have 200? 200 dollars for this fine horse!" He rambled on about her bloodlines. Ashleigh got a better look at the filly.

Rumor Has It [/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font] Brown eyes searched the stands as people filed into the stands to watch the black filly. Adele snorted and wanted to move forward, but felt the chain around her chin tighten so she stood still in her brace as the loud speakers sounded out things she couldn't understand. Adele swished her tail as the group of people began to come closer to the ring. Adele got nervoues and shied away from the people which sent the young girl into fits, but instead of yanking of the chain she took the chain and clicked her tounge which Adele went into a trott from a stand still and trotted beside the young girl until they came back into the middle. Adele snorted and tossed her head and then they began to back up with alittle of a bump of the chain. Ears went back as she tried to listen to what was happening so many noises and to much time. The Young girl beside her smiled as she looked at the crowd, but Adele looked streight forward. [/font] Clint drove into the drive of the sale barn just to see what they was selling this time around. He walked into the building in a cowboy hat, a blue long sleeve shirt and wrangler jeans. He walked around and shook hands with acouple of the men that was standing around the ring watching the black filly. He watched how she moved across the ring in a trot and knew that this filly could excelle in anything you put her in. Clint listened to the bidder. $150 He raised his hand and then watched the filly.[/center] |

Ashleigh watched the filly move some more. She looked to be the only bidder. Then someone called out"150." Ashleigh called out "$200." She hoped that this filly would be hers. She knew she had so much to spend on a filly and hoped that it would be enough. She looked over at the guy who bid on her. He certainly was handsome. The girl who was handling Rumor Has It aka Adele was doing a good job in Ashleigh's opinion. She waited to hear if the guy bid back or if this beautiful looking Quarter Horse filly would be hers.

Rumor Has It [/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font] Adele snorted as she heard words come from these people's mouth and then looked toward the young girl. Adele began to relax and then the speaker made a very fuzzy noise and Adele reared up. The young girl wasn't expecting this from Adele and the lead slipped from her hands, but as quick as she could she grabed the lead and pulled on it as the chain pulled on Adele's chin. The black filly came downand began to flick her tail getting angry for being here and began to prance by the girls side as she tried to walk her around to get her to calm down alittle. Adele couldn't help but jump side to side and getting spook from the noise and snorted then a loud shrill of a whinny escaped her muzzle as she tried to find some comfort from another horse. Adele heared the loud wooded gravel hit the stand and Adele reared up and shot forward and began to drag the girl behind her as she tried to got of the arena and the girl pulling on her, but then it all stopped when the big owner stepped through and took ahold of the lead and yanked on it and Adele turned around and stopped.Clint smiled as he yelled $150, but then wasn't ready for someone to out-bid him at $200. Clint wasn't really sure if he needed another filly, but might aswell as alittle fun with this young lady, but when he looked voer to her and couldn't get his eyes off her. But listened to the auctioneer yell "Going once, going twice...SOLD at $200 to the young lady!!" Clint looked at the black filly as the young girl tried to get the filly to listen to her as she tried to get the filly out of the areana.[/center] |

Ashleigh watched the horse. The auctioneer wne t "$220 going once,twice,sold to the young lady!" Ashleigh smiled and handed her money to the auctioneer as she tried to make her way to filly,Adele. She reached Adele but then the speaker system crackled sending Adele into a frenze. Ashleigh grabbed the lead rope from the young girl and soothed the horse saying"Easy. It's ok girl." She took out a couple of treats from her pocket and fed them to the black quarter horse filly. The filly was beautiful alright. She soothed the filly some more just in case she still wasn't over her frenzy from the speaker.

Rumor Has It [/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font] Adele stood still once she was out of the ring and away from all the people. Her owner handed her over to a different womena nd the girl began to rub her neck and feed her treats. Adele took the treats and snorted and watched her owner come back with her old halter adn slipped it on and took the show halter.Sorry Miss, we have to take this back." They said and gave her the leather halter that didn't have any silver. Adele snorted and watched the little girl walk away with tears in her eyes. Adele nickered toward the little girl and moved aroudn the women who was holding her. Adele stood there and looked around her and pawed the ground[/font] Clint walked away from the ring and into the barn and smiled at the little black filly as she nickered toward the little girl. Clint walked toward the women that held onto the lead. Hello, I'm Clinton McCoy, Owner of McCoy Ranch. Your gonna have you hands full with that little girl..But she is a nice one. He said with a grin as he took his right hand out so she could shake it. |

Ashleigh handed the horse to a girl as she got her old halter. She put it on and handed the show halter to the women who showed her. She said"Thanks." to the little girl. The girl nodded and walked away. She heard footsteps behind her and turned around to see who it was. It was the guy who bid on the filly. "Hello, I'm Clinton McCoy, Owner of McCoy Ranch. Your gonna have you hands full with that little girl..But she is a nice one." The guy said. Ashleigh replied "Hi. I'm Ashleigh Daisher owner of Fairhaven Ranch. Yes I can see." Ashleigh said as she handed the mare another treat.

Rumor Has It [/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font] Adele snorted as she took the other treat from the women's hand. She stood beside the lady being talked to by a man. Adele stomped her hoofs and began to get bored standing there, but stood there like a champ as her new owner. Clint smiled at her and watched the filly at her side. Care that I walk with you guys to your truck. In a nice calm collected voice, but his grin was a mile wide as he looked at the young women before him. The filly he knew would be in good hands so he didn't have to worry about that. |

Ashleigh said"Nope." Clint asked if they minded if he walked her and Adele to her trailer. She said as she began to walk the filly to her truck and trailer. She opened the trailer door and walked inside coaxing the mare to come in. Adele certainly was a gorgeous filly. She had gotton her for cheap to. Only 200 dollars when the filly was probably worth 1000 dollars. Ashleigh began coaxing the mare to step foward a bit into the trailer. "Come on Adele." She said softly to Rumor Has It aka:Adele. The black filly was black no question about it. She knew people who said that their horses were pitch black as black as the night when really they were a smoky buckskin.

Rumor Has It [/color][/font] All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear:[/color][/font] Adele followed the women and the man out of the barn and toward another trailer, but this wasn't the same trailer she arrived in so it kind of freaked her out. Adele began to prancing her long skinny legs as she got closer to the trailer. Adele reared up at the trailer and came down with a thud. She snorted as she swished her tail, but she followed the girl into the trailer and stood there. Adele looked back out of the trailer and nickered. She was never going to see that young girl ever again. Adele stood there with the tall women and waited for the girl to leave her alone in the empty trailer.Clint watched the little black filly named Adele and watched her closely as she began to rear up, but she got right in into the trailer for the women. She sure is gonna be a handful isn't she? He said with a grin and looked at the women who was in the trailer with the black filly with the white star in the middle of her face. Clint watched the young women and smiled. Well I guess your ready to get your new filly home, so I guess you can leave alone. He said as he began to walk away, but stopped himself.Well if you need me, you can call me. Here is my business card if you ever need any help or just need someone to talk to." He said with a grin watching the girl...[/size[/center] |

Ashleigh soothed the horse and brought a small bucket of grain and hay. She put the hay in the hay bag and hung it quickly and left the bucket hanging. "Yes she is." Ashleigh said as she got out of the trailer. Clint walked away but stopped and walked back to her. He gave her a buissness card."Thanks Clint. Here's my number." She said as she wrote down 593-8204 on a piece of paper and handed it to him. Ashleigh smiled at Clint as she closed the trailer door. When it was closed she made sure that she locked it correctly. "Clint if you get bored you could come on over to my place and we could chat." She said to him as she started the truck. She gave Clint a wave and then drove away.
