The Present
Earlier in the year, for my twentieth birthday, my father had bought me a
pony. She was stunning; with sleek dappled horseflesh and curious eyes.
She was a placid animal, but in all truth so far, I had hated riding her.
Amy loved horses and used to be a good rider, but an incident with one of
Mr McKenna’s horses had put her off. She hadn’t been on a horse for years.
I’d encouraged her to talk about it but she’d said very little. It happened a
few months after the fire at their house and so I assumed it must have been
connected to that.
Even after a handful of lessons, I was useless. I always held my body so
rigid, the thought of falling off and breaking a bone stopping me from being
able to relax. And of course, if you are stressed when riding a horse, the
animal can feel it through the tension in your body. I wasn’t stupid, I knew
some stuff. I just found it difficult to put that knowledge to good use.
When I’d first seen her, I’d managed to keep the horrified expression from
my face, but Amy had seen it straight away. My sister read me like a book.
“What will you name her?” she had said when we were out of earshot of
my parents. It had been the day of my birthday party and my parents had
put on a BBQ to celebrate. Mum always decorated the trees with bunting
and fairy lights and made it extra special.
“Victoria,” I had replied, totally clueless as to what to name a horse.
I remember Amy omitting a hoot of laughter, “You can’t call her Victoria.
That’s a crap name for a horse.”
After a couple of minutes pondering her words, I’d gone with, “Vicky?”
“That’s better,” she’d replied. So, Vicky, it was.
I toyed with the strap of my lemon, floral sundress, glancing over to the
small paddock down the side of the house where ‘Victoria aka Vicky’ was
grazing peacefully.
