Catori

Elsa 10/15/20

Eleanor scanned the web. She was in her final year of college, learning the equine studies program, and the assignment for her senior year was to purchase a mustang, (with the money they gave you) and train it.

Eleanor didnt know where to start or even how to pick! She came across a local adoption agency for mustangs. She clicked through a few when her eyes spotted a Chimera mare. She stared at the page for a moment before reading the her description:

Catori-meaning "Spirit", is a 7 year old mare. She has a beautiful Chimera coat and is one of our more friendly horses. She has a braid in her forelock, which we were lucky to give to her when we brought her in for some tests to make sure she was healthy a few weeks before.

Eleanor scrolled down a bit more..

We will price this mare at only $1k, for we dont expect much from her. While being calm, she also has a tendency to bolt, run toward you, rear and do many more things.

Eleanor weighed the pros and cons and while there was a ton of cons, she really liked this mare. She was drawn to her. So Eleanor called the people who managed the sanctuary and told them she wanted to buy Catori.

"Catori?!" The man on the other end almost seemed to scream as he heard the name.

"Yes, Catori. I believe I can do well with her."

The man sighed and she could hear him tapping his fingers on a desk or tabletop. "I can't say no so, when can you come down?"

"Friday at around five. I'll bring my trailer and the money."

"Great." The man said

"Great." Eleanor replied then hung up.

When she got to the barn the next morning her college "professor" asked everyone If they have chosen a horse yet. Eleanor and two others raised their hands. "Better get to it!" The professor chirped, she was a happy older woman.

When Friday came Eleanor drove to the mustang sanctuary and picked up Catori, who was having a hissy fit. When she finally got her into the trailer a man in his 20's or 30's handed her a folder full of papers and photographs. Her favorite so far was the one of her as a baby.

Eleanor tapped the side of the trailer with her hand, "Let's go!" She hopped back into her truck and drove to the stable area. Catori was easy to get out and she put her in a paddock to start with. Once she removed the halter, Catori started running around and bucking. Eleanor watched the mare happily, before going to look through her documents and records.
