The Storm Before Dawn

Authors note

Hey everyone! First off I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to open my story. With that being said, I'd like to take a moment more of your time to explain that this writing is filled with inaccuracies, grammar mistakes, and immature writing choices. I wrote this when I was 11 and wrote purely for the joy of writing, I had no desire to make things accurate. All I wanted was for other people to read what I wanted to write. So I am very much aware of any dumb decisions my characters make, but I have no plans to ever revise this story. I'm in a very different part of my life and am focused on school and my own riding rather than fixing a story from years ago. I have since grown much in my knowledge of horses and have traveled across the country to compete in national horse knowledge competitions. Please excuse 11 year old me for not knowing nearly as much as I do now. I hope you all enjoy this fictional writing, I know that I very much enjoyed writing it.
