• Running through the woods, feeling as graceful as the creature I am on. I notice I am getting faster... and faster. Nobody else in the group can see it... I can't quite make it out either. It is as if it is following us. It wont stop going... it is going faster than me. My Horse quickly gets frightened and so do I. I notice. It is a... a... - hides face - Cougar. My horse got frightened. We quickly had to turn and everyone soon realized it was not joke time. We were racing back home. the cougar still following us. Soon we got out of the woods. We trotted over to the Paddock. Everyone freaked out. I was just glad that the Cougar knew where he had to stop. Katie was the youngest and most scared. I got off Lemon. "What was it?" Katie asked with tears running down her face. Mary was running over. Mary was the oldest and at this point in time the least frightened. "What happened?" she quickly asked. "It was a cougar. Luckily this time nobody got hurt." I answered with the least amount of emotion possible. "A COUGAR?!" Katie was surprised that it was a cougar considering that she had never seen one. "Yes a cougar" I snapped. Katie ran up to Daisy, her horse. "Daisy are you okay? I am not I dont like courgars. even though i have never seen one! I am still scared... VERY scared." Katie kept going on about how scared she was and why and when and she told Daisy even when she was 2 and her cat ran up and licked her... LICKED HER!!! She was talking to her for a while and me and Mary went inside when Erin ran up and talked to us. She was asking where we where. "over in the Douglas Fir tree trail." I said with emotion. "Oh no, thats the Cougar area. Like 40 of them live there. Lucky you didnt get hurt. I had 4 of them chasing me and Drew." Erin was trying to make us scared and she knew it. She showed us a scar on Drew's leg (her horse) It was from a cougar. She had a tiny bite on her foot from the cougar. 'I havent been over there since" "And i never will" I added to Erin's sentence.
