~gaining his trust~
i hadn't left my new stallion for more than a few minutes. i had been sitting on the side of the stall, talking to him and watching him eat his hay calmly, for what felt like, and probably was, hours. at around six, i heard my mom hollering about dinner, and i sighed. hopping off the door, i brushed off my jeans and started to walk towards the barn door. within an instant it seemed, sweets stopped eating, rushed to the door of his stall, pushing against it almost frantically, and began to whinny and scream as if he was being killed. i bolted back, thinking something was wrong, but he calmed down the second i placed my hand on him. i scrunched my eyes in confusion, but shaking my head, turned to walk off again. the process repeated. that's when i realized it; he must have been abandoned. his owner must have left him, walked away, and he was afraid, already, that i was doing the same. whipping out my phone, i shot a text to my parents, quickly explaining, and then telling them to bring me my dinner, as well as some more treats. hopping into the stall, i stroked his soft neck. "dont worry big guy. i'm not going anywhere."
