A single tear had fallen from her now bright blue eyes. The thought of parting with her gelidng almost killed her. Sun was there from the beginning. Knowing that he would be there when she got home reassured her that he would be okay. Her mother would take good care of him. With the palomino gelding on his lead the eighteen year old led the equine back up to the barn. Letting him have his time in the pasture, stretch his legs before the long journey home. Like most horses could Sun could tell when his owner wasn't feeling the best, today was one of those days. Unclipping the Quarter Horse's lead from halter she let him in his stall for the last time before her mother and brother came up. Jeremy was seventeen but Belle would have been stupid to trust a person who had only been driving for about a year now with her horse, which is why she would be seeing her mother as well. Sitting on the floor of Sun's stall the gelidng placed his head on the blonde's shoulder. "I'll see you soon boy. Mom and Jeremy will take good care of you. I promise." Throwing her arms around the gelding's neck she sobbed and immediately stopped when she heard doors slamming. Shooting up she brushed herself off and went out to greet her family. Hugging her mother and brother she grabbed Sun's tack box and put it in the trailer. "I put his feeding schedule in the top of his tack box. Make sure you feed him. If anything happens just call the vet and please tell me." Trying not to get too emotional, she knew it was for the best as her family was used to Sun, how he acted what was used to and all that. If she would have sent Seren or Penny back it probably would have been Hell for all three of them. With the palomino's lead rope in her hand Belle headed back to collect the horse. Sobbing on her way to his stall she bursted out crying. With him not being here for the rest of the year it would defiantly be different. She would either have to use Penny or Fury for the begginer western class maybe even an Academy horse. With Sun in the trail Belle wanted to get it done and over with. A faint whinny came from the trailer, holding back some tears Belle hugged her mom and her brother once more and saw them off.
