The Horse from Above!!!!!

Mary Anne:
As I skipped towards the office, I suddenly began hallucinating. better lay off the red bull, I thought to myself. A gorgeous horse was making its way along the edge of Bellorophon's woods. An Andalusian by the looks of it, he pricked up his ears for the sound of my footsteps on the gravel. Now, be logical. Would a hallucination do something like that? I queried. The horse trotted over to me with the grace and measured gait of a trianed performance horse. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that he had a tooled leather halter on. A glinting nameplate caught the ligt at just the right angle so that I could read his name- Piper.

Mary Anne:
I didn't want to leave the horse, but I had to tell Katie- the 0only person here. Everyone else was on the trail ride! I snagged his halter and led the prancing horse near to the hayloft, where I was sure to find Katie. "Ummm, Katie, we have a visitor!"

[hotspot]

Katie:
from the stable office, i heard Mary Anne calling my name. "I thought you were on the tra..." i trailed off, as i beheld what Mary Anne had with her. "Where did HE come from? the haute ecole?"

[bluwings]

Mary Anne:
"The WHAT?" I asked, puzzled. "I was just heading to the office, when this guy showed up to take a look around!"

[hotspot]

Katie:
"haute ecole... the viennese riding school! i can tell he's a dressage horse already." i immediately went to the elegant stallion's neck, and felt for a microchip. my fingers found one within a few seconds. "a horse like this has to belong to someone. i'll go get my scanner, and see about it!"

[bluwings]

Mary Anne:
"A dressage horse...?" I asked. "Just what I need! Can I keep him?"

[hotspot]

Katie:
i returned from my office with the scanner. "it's doubtful, but you never know." i relocated the chip, and passed the device over it. after a few seconds, the words
An Mangaire Fain
M. and Mme. Schlusser
145-232-867-5309
"Sounds fancy... the schlussers are big names in the dressage world." i said, immediately reaching for my cell phone. "i wonder what he's doing here... i was right, all the way from europe!"

[bluwings]

Mary Anne:
"Then how on earth did he get HERE?" I asked, puzzled, as Katie dialed the foreign telephone number.

[hotspot]

Katie:
the phone rang for what seemed like half an hour... finally, somone or somthing picked up.
"Hello..." i said.
"JAH?"
apparently, i had dialled Austria.
"Umm, hi... this is Katie Sterling of Sterling Stables in the United States, and we think we found your horse... we scanned him for a chip and it said his name was An Mangaire Fain. have you lost him?"
i could hear the tapping of computer keys from the other end of the ocean.
"ve have ze horse named An Mangaire Fain, but ve don't veally care zat much. he vas on his vay to a show in the... the Seattle." said the voice. "ze plane made it, but ze horse escaped. ve fired the pilot." it said dismissively. "you keep him for, say, tree months... then ve send official from Vienna to come get him. kapeesh?"
this last part surprised me. "are you sure you won't miss him? he looks very talented." i said, at the same time trying to add up feed bills and things in my mind.
"ve send you check for his care. and don't worry about ze horse.... we have many others. you may ride him if you like. he excells at ze... dressage with ze music."
I was flabbergasted. they were just about to give me this gorgeous Andulusian stallion for a few months, and PAY me for it. WOW! "how many horses do you have?" i asked, worried that i was robbing these people of their livlihood.
"oh, tree hundred-so. " said the voice. "now, i have to go... good-bye."

i turned to mary anne once the dial tone sounded. "he's ours for now!"
