black pharoah || Completed

my first breath

I opened my eyes as I felt a rough on my body. As I looked up at the mare  I was struck by awe. She was easily 16 hands. She was alsoe so dark brown with soft light brown eyes.

" Mommy is that you "? I asked my voice coming out in a squeak. The mare eyes turned even softer as she looked at me. " Yes I am my little foal. My name is black caviar buy you can call me Mommy. "  She said her voice a soft nicker. If she had a name I must have a name so I decided to ask what it was. " What is my name Mommy". I don't know right now the humans should be by soon to name you . " Black caviar said .

As she spoke 3 humans walked up and I ran behind mommy. " Who are they"? I neighed . Mommy looked amused at my antics as she answered.  " The two girls are Savannah and Skylar and the boy is luke. The boy like held out something orange to mommy and she hurried to take it.

As mommy moved the humans got a good look at me and they oohed and awed at me. Skylar was the first one to speak. " She's a spitting image of her mother. All dark brown not a speck of white any where on her body." She is surely beautiful and look how long her legs are. She's going to be huge just like caviar." Luke agreed. Savannah was looking me up and down. As she did a smile spread across her face. "  She might have her mother's looks and size but she has her father's build. The build all he pharoahs have. " She said.

"Okay let's hurry up and name her". Luke said sounding inpatient. Savannah laughed at him. "Naming racehorses take time luke. You should know that." Her face became serious as she looked at me again. " Her name should have something to do with both black caviar and yang pharoah. How bout caviar pharoah? " She asked. Skylar shook her head. " Nah it dosnt have the right ring to it. How about black pharoah? ". Luke smiled ." I like it ". He said . Savannah looked at me one last time ." Yes!!!! Black pharoah is the perfect name for her." She said happily as she smiled at me and my mother. " I don't suppose we can keep an face her can we?" She asked somberly. Skylar shook her head " 10000 horses are enough. Once she's 6 months old we will give her to keeland for the yearling sale "  . As they left Skylar looked back one last time. " Good night my little black pharoah ".

After they left I looked at mommy. " Is that my name? Is black pharoah my name?" I asked her . As mommy smiled down at me I started to lay down In the soft hay In our stall. " Yes my little foal. Black pharoah is your name." She said. She nuzzled my side as she laid down beside me . One question kept nagging at me. " Mommy who yang pharoah". I asked .  " Yang pharoah is your father. She answered sleepily. " Will I ever meet him " I asked " perhaps in a couple of months you will."  I heard her say before I drifted off into darkness.
