The stable was quiet and deserted. At first, Leo feared someone had taken all the horses, but as he carried Ana deeper into the stables, he realized a few remained. They looked at all of them. A few horses were spooked, and others were sick from a lack of food and water. But they found two probable rides.
“Let the other horses out, Leo. Please put me down and open all the cages.” Ana was emotional. The horses would starve to death if left locked up. Free, at least they had a chance.
Leo understood and opened the stalls one by one. Then he returned to Ana. He had set her near the first potential steed. “What do you think? Is he the horse to carry us to Williams?” he whispered and kissed her forehead.
Ana smiled “he is a very calm horse. I think he might be. But let me see the other horse. You still must find the saddles and reigns.”
