Mac stood leaning on the fence, one foot resting on the bottom rail. He came here when he needed to think without interruption from humans. This was the pasture the retired horses were turned out in to enjoy the rest of their days, the old-timer’s kingdom. A tradition his grandfather had started, and one Mac was happy to carry on.
"Remember son, you never turn your back on the ones that made you the man you are."
A soft nose pushed at his hand looking for a treat. Mac's favourite gelding waited for attention.
"Here you go, Koala."
