eek Halloween night, it is dark in the woods on this night. Black is wandering by the shimmer of moon light tonight. His ears are upright and forward listening to the sounds of Halloween trick or treaters! Walking along the twigs pop under his hooves as he steps among the tall dark trees ..... I think he may be looking for the horseman tonight! The Black is watching as he sees the old wooden bridge in the distance, the place he and the horseman once met long ago. Would he be there tonight? If so the Black was ready for him this time! Teeth showing like glimmering white chips of ice! Heels ready to do battle with strong deadly kicks to the horseman if he dares to show himself this time! Suddenly a mist covers the woods.... the moon is dark now,hmmm what is it? BANG! Oh yes I hear the clanking of the horseman's chains! The Black takes hold in the woods,now charging at a full gallop toward the horseman! Standing on his back legs he paws his front hooves into the horseman's body! Swirls around and gives him two solid back feet into his back! Now the horseman is helpless! He is on the ground and asking for mercy!
The Black stands still,very still now... Go now! Go now horseman and never come to the bridge on this night again for 100 years!
In a blink of your eye the Black turned and was gone! The horseman mounted his horse and fled into the night....Will he return? Hmm? sweatdrop

Today the two of us wandered thru the pastures. It was sunny and bright all the grass was green after the rains. The black was very steady as he walked the meadow, making sure he would not stumble. Looking ahead to see all he could see, ears up and nostrils smelling the fresh spring air! He looked very shiny and black today in the line of the big oak trees shadows. In the distance a dog was watching every step the black took... It would be a mistake for any such dog to come toward the black,as he was known to lower his head and show his bright white teeth to any animal that might threaten me. He snorted at the air and made his warning known! Off in the distance the big dog approached...Ok I will hold on! Go black go!!!! Oh up and off we went in a flash of galloping,pounding hooves! Faster and faster,right up to the big dogs tail! Run dog,I shouted ! Run for your life! The blacks teeth were very close to the back of the dog! I pulled the reins and slowed him to a stop! The black stood firm now, haha dog you will live to see another day!
