“She dropped her hand and pulled Mora back, but Mora shook her head. She wanted to race. Elena glanced at Angelica. The older girl seemed to be enjoying the ride as much as she was. “Okay, Mora,” whispered Elena, leaning over the mare’s neck. “Lets go.” Mora sprung forward with Luna right beside her. The two horses raced toward the distant edge of the meadow, matching stride for stride. Mora’s head and neck reached forward and her body stretched low to the ground. The thud of hoofbeats became a thunder. Tears ran from Elena’s eyes as the wind whipped past her face. She crouched even lower over Mora’s neck and the scent of the mare’s sweat filled her nose, tangy and sharp. Elena glanced down at the ground flying by beneath them. They were going so fast! She felt so free! Father’s never going to keep me away from the mountains ever again, thought Elena. I have never truly lived until this moment!”
