Description

Meet Fading Winds, or Zephyr. <3 He's my new stable horse, based of a new Breyer I got today. <33 He has a story and I'm really happy about that. x3 I really love how this one came out. <3 It looked weird but after coloring it, I think it looks great. C: Though, the sand/dirt looks weird. I tried to make it look like he was running around and then I tried to make his shadow in front of him, but.. It didn't work out that way. xD

It was six in the morning when Nikki was awakened by her cellphone ringing. She reached out and felt around her nightstand till she grabbed the phone. "Hello?" she said as she sat up and glanced at the clock. "Nikki, you have to get ready and hook up the trailer, we have a horse for you." She couldn't tell if it was Evan or Gabe, both sounded similar on the phone.

"Where are you? And why did you buy a horse?" she let herself drop back down on her bed and rubbed her eyes. "Well, he was given to us for free. He's kind of wild, definitely needs work. And I'll text you the address, bye." Nikki yawned, "Okay, I'll--" but she was cut off. She climbed out of bed and walked to the shower.

A few hours later she was on her way to the address that Evan texted her, it was about an hour and a half away. She arrived at the worn down ranch and got out of the truck. "Evan?" she called out, looking around the ranch. It was really run down and looked like it had been deserted a while ago, but she could hear a horse whinnying and shouting in the distance. She ran towards the source and saw Evan, Gabe, and another man running out of a paddock.

Inside the paddock was a huge, grullo stud. He was rearing and neighing loudly, his ears back and teeth bared. Nikki ran up to the men, "This is our free horse?!" She couldn't believe it, he was insane! Evan ran a hand through his hair and laughed lightly. "Ha, yeah.. Mr. Brown said no one wants him." The short man waved with an awkward smile. "But you said we'd take him?" Nikki almost sounded angry, but why wouldn't she? This horse was crazy. "At least he's free.." she thought, looking at the stallion race around the paddock.

It took all four of them to bring the stallion to the trailer, and once inside you could hear loud banging against the wall. "Of course I brought the nice trailer.." Nikki sighed, climbing into the driver's seat. She watched Evan shake Mr. Brown's hand and heard the short man say "thank you" over and over. Then Evan and Gabe climbed into Gabe's car and pulled up behind Nikki's truck.

When they arrived back at the stable, Nikki back the trailer door into the round pen. Carefully she and Evan opened the doors to the trailer and unhooked the strap behind the stallion's butt. Once loose, the stallion backed out of the trailer so fast he almost fell backward. He seemed scared as he galloped around the round pen, letting out bucks and rears. Nikki leaned against the fence and watched him as Evan parked the truck and trailer.

"Kind of wild my ass." she scoffed, burying her head between her folded arms. Evan and Gabe walked up to the fence and watched the stallion. Nikki looked at the two men. "Does he have a name? And maybe a history?" Evan turned to look at Nikki, "Well, his name is Zephyer. Mr. Brown told me that he is an auctioneer and this stallion was given to him to sell. He was told that this horse had come from the wild and was too crazy to tame. Well, Mr. Brown was never able to sell him and had him in that pen for months. He called me to ask if I wanted to come look at a horse--" "Wait," Nikki interupted him, "How do you two know each other?"

"Well, I've gone to many auctions in hopes to bring home a good horse but never did buy any. Anyways, he called and asked me if I wanted to come look at the horse and I agreed. So I drove over and Mr. Brown told me to take him and he wouldn't take no for an answer. So, here he is." Evan looked back over to the stallion who seemed to have calmed down somewhat. He was now trotting around blowing out of his nose.

"Why was Gabe with you?" she asked, watching the stallion. "Well, um, we were hanging out." "At seven in the morning..?" Nikki asked, confused. She let it go and turned back to the horse, who was now standing in the middle of the arena. For the first time since he arrived, she actually wanted to start working with him. He was beautiful, she admitted, and he looks like he has great potential.. If she could get him over his wild personality.
