I shot straight up out of a dead sleep to the sound of my father barking out things to the farm hands. I walked over to my window and opened it and listened. "If you don't do it I will". Dad said. "I can't it's Maggies and nither can you your daughers loves him". Sam said. "He'll never be able to do barrell raceing agin he's a lame horse she'll understand". Dad said. After I heard that I quickly dashed out of my room and down the stairs. "Were is the fire" .Mom said. "Can't talk" I said as I burst out of the front door. "Dad stop, stop you can't do that" I cried. "Do what?" dad replyed "You can't put Mika down he's mine" I cried. "He's a lame horse he'll never be the same" Dad said. "Would you do that to your own child" I said. "Honey we'll get you a new one" Dad said.
I stood between my dad and the barn looked into his eyes and said "I'm the only girl in the family and I know you wanted another boy but you got me. you never gave up on me so why give up on him?" I said. Dads stone face grew softer and I started to see the man he really is. "Fine keep him Sam come on we have a horse to take care of" Dad said. Mom came outside to see what we were up to. "Now what's going on here?" Mom said. "He's staying". I blurted out. "Your girl is as hard headed as that Mustang we have" Dad said. Mom smiled and hugged dad and walked away.
