- Chapter 1
The deep grey mustang “Tassel” stands astride her owner. Soft twinkles in her eye shows that she’s kind, caring and will look after her master. 12-year-old Sarah and 10-year-old Meladayne Harvey, loved roaming around the family farm, it was their favourite things to do. “ Those Harvey sisters are nuts” the little, country town would say. They would gallop across fields, jump over logs and fallen trees all day long if they could. Mrs & Mr Harvey would basically have to drag them off their horses at dinner time.
All along Sarah knew that there was something pure and unique about Tassel, the form she moved in and they way she acted, it was so different than any other horse she had ridden before. Tassel was so gentle and delicate with just everything. Sarah had trained Tassel very well, she was skilful, resilient and calm in tense situations. But one day trouble struck, they Harvey sisters set out on a mission to go to the river to have a picnic. So, before they left Mrs Harvey packed a back pack, with food, a first aid kit, a phone and plenty of water. Mrs Harvey warned them to be careful about the cliff edge, and to make sure that the rivers weren’t to high to cross, Mrs Harvey was concerned about the cliff edge but didn’t want to fuss, because they have done it thousands of times before. Eventually, after an eager wait, the girls were allowed to set out, they followed the trail just like they had many times before, across the field, though the pine trees, over the stream, and on they go.
