When we get home, I will take Josephine off the roof rack with my Dad's fork-lift truck and set him down in his field. Sometimes he likes me to take him for a little ride around the field. I make the forks go up and down so that he feels like a Unicorn flying in the air. One time the fork-lift broke down as it was right at the top with Josephine on it. He was stuck up there for two days because Dad kept on forgetting to ring the mechanic. I'm sure he didn't mind though. My horse is very understanding like that.

My Horse Has No Legs

 

Once he is in the field I will probably leave him alone to graze. I will go inside and watch the quiz shows. I like to try and guess the answers on the quiz shows and pretend that I am winning lots of prizes and cars and holidays. Sometimes I forget that I am only pretending and make myself very disappointed when the woman at the airport tells me I didn't win the prize. If there aren't many quizzes on then I might have time to go outside and put a blanket on Josephine to keep him warm. It is very important to keep your horse warm and cosy so that he doesn't get a runny nose. I often make a joke with my parents that if Josephine had legs he could walk into the house and sit infront of the fire and watch the quiz shows too. Although when I say this, I am usually sent to my room.


The End.
