Beautiful country and nice people
Beautiful country and nice people
The drive by car already takes two hours, Doreen fell asleep. Meg thinks: "She definitely didn't sleep much that night. ... Even as a child she loved horses, maybe she can get along with him. Who knows."
Two hours later, Meg wakes Doreen gently: "Doreen. Wake up, we'll be there in a moment."
Doreen opens her eyes, and when she looks out the window, she sees a vast country. Left and right on the roadside you can see barbed wire fences that stretch as far as you can see. "And from here Drovers starts .." says Meg as they turn left and the sign reads "Drovers".
After ten minutes you can already see the large residential building and the smaller residential bungalows. When they drive past the barn, in which the other cars of the farm residents are parked, Meg and Doreen already see Tess.
Meg parks her car. You and Doreen get out and already hear how they are greeted. "Hello Meg. Hello Doreen.Nice that you are here! "Tess calls out to them, accompanied by her husband Nick. Everyone hugs everyone in greeting.
After they have told each other everything. Nick shows Doreen where she should sleep. He goes with her to a small residential bungalow, which is near the horse stables. He has four individual rooms. "And here is your room." says Nick as he puts Doreen's suitcase next to the bed. Doreen happily says: "Small but nice. That's how I like it." "Come on, I'll show you the stables." Nick goes to the stables with Doreen. Around the covered part of the stable, there are fences that are intended as small pastures.
Nick shows Doreen the horses, explains: "... and this is Oscar, it belongs to Tess." Both hear a loud neighing, Doreen turns around and sees a brown horse soaring in one of the small pastures, Nick says: "Yes , and this is Jay. We just call him the savage. "
Doreen runs towards the pasture where Jay is standing. Nick follows her at a short distance.The closer Doreen gets to Jay, the slower she gets. Jay is watching her closely, his ears moving back and forth nervously. Doreen whispers to Jay: “Well my boy, you are a beautiful one ... I won't hurt you.” Nick watches Jay's ear go in the direction of Doreen, he says softly: “Doreen, are you coming! I'm sure it will be finished soon. "Doreen turns to Nick, walks over to him. Nick says, somewhat astonished: "He's not that calm when someone approaches him." Doreen says smiling to Nick.
Both run to the house, where there are already tables and chairs. "Hello Doreen! It's Jody." Doreen hugs Jody, says with joy: "We haven't seen each other for a long time." "Yes, that's right! But recognized immediately. Come on, I'll introduce you to the others!" says Jody and takes Doreen's hand.
Jody runs to the others with Doreen. Each one in turn introduces himself to Doreen. Jody's old school friend Kate, Meg's husband Terry, then Stevie, Tess's best friend.An hour later, Doreen is sitting at a table with Tess. Doreen says: "Really beautiful here. Drovers is a really beautiful country. And you are all so nice to me." "I thought to myself." answers Tess. And Nick is already standing next to the table, says: "Doreen, this is my brother Alex. Doreen first looks at Nick then at Alex. She shakes hands with Alex in greeting. Looks him in the eye, they both linger for a short moment. Nick and Alex took a seat at the table, and everyone was having a good time.
Three hours later, it's almost 11 a.m. Jody, Stevie and Kate have already retired. Doreen has sat down under the big tree that stands by the house. "Here for you," says Alex, handing Doreen a bottle of Coke, "Nick told me that you don't like beer." "Thanks Alex." answers Doreen. Alex sits down next to her.
Half an hour later Doreen says: “I will go to sleep now too.” A cold wind is blowing, Doreen rubs his upper arms, whispers: “Very fresh."Alex takes his jacket and puts it over Doreen's shoulders, whispers back:" It gets very fresh at night, even now in summer, "Doreen gets up," I'll accompany you. "Doreen looks at him, says softly:" Is nice of you. "
At Doreen's bungalow room, she gives Alex his jacket back: "Thanks again ... but you're not going home now, are you!?!" Alex takes his jacket and replies: "Tess has finished the guest room over there for me So we'll see each other again tomorrow. So good night. "" Yes, good night. "
In her room, Doreen just unpacks her pajamas and goes to sleep.
The sun is just rising when Doreen wakes up. She gets up, gets dressed. Sneaks out of her room without waking the others. She walks towards the small willow where Jay is standing. She walks slowly and calmly towards him, stopping just before the fence. Jay is watching her very closely. Doreen sits down on the ground in front of the fence.She notices Jay's muscles twitch.
After a while, Jay walks to Doreen for a while. She whispers: "You seem to trust me. ... and you realize that I don't want to hurt you." Jay perks up his ears, listens to her.
Doreen gets up slowly, she doesn't want Jay to be scared. She goes to the fence, slowly stretching out her hand to him. Jay shrugs his head briefly. "Take it easy, Jay." Doreen calms him down.
Doreen holds her hand very still so that it protrudes a little into the willow.
Minutes later, Jay walks a little closer to Doreen. He goes with his head down towards Doreen's hand, and sniffs carefully. He lowers his head a little more. He gently puts his soft nose in Doreen's hand. She gently strokes his head and neck, whispers: "Very good Jay. You are my dear boy." Jay hugs his head gently against Doreen. "You must have been through a lot, Jay. Now I'm here for you." Doreen whispers in Jay's ear. She takes the halter that hangs on the gate.Put it on Jay carefully. Doreen slowly opens the gate and stands next to Jay. She closes the gate again. She walks carefully in front of Jay, he follows her voluntarily.
Meanwhile, Nick comes out of the house, in the distance sees Doreen walking into Jay's pasture, and the hillside quietly running after her. Nick walks slowly to the pasture. When he is at the pasture, he says quietly: “He has a lot of trust in you.” Doreen runs towards the pasture gate, to Nick, replies: “He is beautiful. And if you handle him carefully, he is a great horse. Nick "Will you bring me his food, please." Nick goes into the tack room, comes out a short time later with a bucket in his hand. He goes to the pasture, hands Doreen the bucket. She puts the bucket down and Jay sticks his head in the bucket and starts to eat. "Slowly Jay, nobody takes anything away from you," says Doreen, "I'll come back to you Jay later." Jay lifts his head and cuddles him against Doreen. Nick says with a smile: "You have a new boyfriend.Come on, let's go to breakfast. "Doreen leaves the pasture and goes to the house with Nick.
