Description
Following on from this when they arrived back at Havillands, John handed Avril over to Jenny and took Suki to the large barn to wash her down and make sure she was unhurt. Jenny let Avril use the phone to tell her people that she was ok and being looked after. She arranged for her father to come and collect her and Suki with the horse box and a change of clothes!
In the mean time, Jenny introduced Avril to the eccentric victorian plumbing in the downstairs bathroom. Once showered and clean, Avril wrapped herself in some borrowed clothing, towels and Jenny's fluffy dressing gown and went in search of Suki.
She found her in the big barn looking nice and clean, eating a bran mash out of a plastic bucket while John felt her legs to make sure she hadn't damaged herself. Avril plonked herself down on an upturned bucket and drank the hot tea that John offered her. Avril poured out her story to John about how Suki had shied and bolted and her long search to find her missing mare.
Suki was the horse of Avril's dreams, a beautiful, young, black thoroughbred rescued from the track, Avril was determined to turn her into a thoroughly understood riding horse by application of tonnes of love, much pampering and every and any available piece of kit she could lay her hands on at the saddler's. Suki had special gel lined, neoprene saddle cloths with magnets sewn into them, a stable set out with the best Feng Shui available and a headcollar with rose quartz decoration to install a feeling of calm.
John bit his lip.
He knew that the mare needed time, attention and careful training by somebody experienced. He was too polite to say anything however.
Avril prattled on about her hopes for Suki, the people she had bought her from at the track and how much a course of 'Growth Mindset For Horses" had cost*
Suki, demolished the bran mash and looked a lot happier than when John had first seen her. She had relaxed a bit now and her ears weren't flicking from side to side as much. She was a nice mare, if rather small, and would make a great riding horse for someone IF and only if she was sympathetically trained.
Bunny crept closer to get a good look at Avril.

* Growth Mindset For Horses is something I made up, if it really exists then that is a coincidence and I bet it is expensive!
