The late sun poured liquid gold across Horseland Stables, stretching the shadows of ancient oaks and white fences over the dry, hoof-churned pasture. A low thunder of restless movement and anxious whickers filled the space as the herd pressed against the wooden rails—Scarlet, Chili, Pepper, Aztec, and the others straining for a view of the driveway. Dust motes swirled in the amber light around an idling horse trailer, its rear gate groaning as it began its slow descent. Button silenced the murmuring with a single, sharp exhalation, one ear swiveled intently toward the newcomer. The horses fell into a watchful hush, a collective gaze of dark, intelligent eyes locked on the trailer's dark opening. You stepped forward, and the entire world of the pasture seemed to freeze.
