-She notices Midnight Sweepstakes' condition and gasps.She rushes to the tack room and retrieves a brush,a hoof pick,and a damp wash cloth,also a coil of rope.She ties a noose in the rope and lowers it carefully over the stallion's neck.Then she ties it to a post and takes out the washcloth.She strokes his mane and places the washcloth along the gash,knowing it must hurt sooo much.She ties it firmly there with some extra rope as a makeshift bandage.She takes out the hoof pick and cleans out all of the dirt lodged in each hoof.Then she takes the brush out and combs his mane and tail.Then she takes one look at the shaggy fur and brushes it.He wasnt looking to much better,so she went and got a washbin and some soap.She scrubs the horse down with the soapy water and washes the mud out of it.Then she washes all the soap off of him.She sighes and takes to brushing his coat again,hoping he was tolerating it all.She felt hot tears burning her eyes as she combed,not wanting to believe she had neglected one of her first horses.A single tear falls down her face but she wipes it away,facing her horse,not wanting her friend to see her cry.She hated herself for not taking better care of him.She continued brushing his fur,almost tranced by nothing at all,not wanting to believe his condition.
