"Come on..." I muttered under my breath, watching the mare from the fenceline. The sun was bouncing off of her golden coat, only enhancing how warm and inviting she seemed. I'd tried with her yesterday, but myself and my bell hadn't been enticing enough.

She sure seemed picky.

She'd taken the bill ribbon from me, her fuzzy lips wrapping around the green sash as she trotted away with it. I watched as she tossed her head from side to side, both of us listening and taking delight in the bells ringing. She let out a shrill snort, rearing up ever so slightly as she tossed herself happily, the bells jingling in rhythm. A pause.

She stilled, looking down at the bell ribbon before lifting her head to look back at me, curiosity glinting in her brown eyes. Maybe?

She let out a snort, turning away to prance around again as she tossed her head, jingling the bells by her muzzle. We'll see.
