It was a stormy night as Susan was putting a few horses back into the stables. She watched as a few of the horses tried to run away. "Whoa! Easy there...You're fine Little Chief White Cloud... Easy now...Atta' boy..." Susan said as she calmed the horse closest to her down. She then covered the horse up with a blanket and fed him some oats. Susan turned around to see a couple of handlers doing the same thing for March to Victory and Cowboys Delight. After the horses were fed, covered with blankets and sleeping, Susan walked over to her favorite horse, Nugget.
As Nugget saw Susan he let out a quiet whinny. Susan chuckled as she got some oats and a sugar cube for her horse. As she fed Nugget she gently stroked his snout. "Easy Nugget...it's time for bed. I'll sleep here tonight to make sure all of you are okay." she said as she dismissed the helpers. "If anyone asks where I am tell them I'm staying here. These horses get spooked easily." she said as the others left.
Little did Susan know, but a lightning strike had started a small forest fire and it was heading towards Arkadia. As she got comfortable with Nugget on the ground of his stall, she listened to the storm raging outside.
