The story

A Horse's Tale

Hi there. My name is Horse. I have four strong legs made for running. I also have a long tail to swish away pesky flies and a fluffy mane on my neck. My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to gallop across big, green fields. When I run fast, I feel the wind whoosh past me. It feels like I'm flying.

For breakfast, I love to munch on yummy grass and sweet hay. I am a herbivore. That is a fancy word that means I only eat plants. I don't live by myself. I live with my family and friends in a group called a herd. We love to play together in the sunshine. We nuzzle each other to say hello. Sometimes we make funny sounds like 'neigh.'.

I have lots of human friends, too. They brush my coat to keep it shiny and clean. They also give me tasty treats like apples and carrots. Sometimes, I help them by giving them rides on my back. It is so much fun to explore together.

Being a horse is the best. My story is about running free, eating delicious plants, and sharing my strong, kind heart with the world. I am still here today, helping my friends and galloping in big, green fields.
