The Long Ride

The Dweller of the Outer Horizon

It had been a long gallop along a stone riddled path, he was glad that day he had given the horse newly polished iron shoes. He was resting on a patch of grass, it was dry but had a modicum of moisture that made it feel wet under his coarse fibre trousers.
