Day 8

Christie didn't bring her camera to Wrig's most recent horseback riding lesson, so I had to do this:

mare and foal
april 8, 2009

cocoa and cinnamon,
up to the fetlocks
in mud.

side by side, she nestles
around him, a cove
curled against a storm.

she nips at his forelocks
and he shies, annoyed.
tail flicks once, twice.

heavy headed, stiff necked,
he scuffs his withers
against the paddock,

eying the horizon.
