Siva, The Training Begins

Chapter 1

"Stupid Stable hand, doesn't she know not to put a untrained horse in a large area? Siva doesn't even trust anyone! How am I going to catch him? "
Siva was lying in the pasture, the sun hitting him just right so that his golden coat had a silver glow. Siva's real name is Silver, but we call him Siva. He isn't very old, he's only a yearling. Silver is a foster horse from Hidden Valley Stables. Im Crystal, the owner of Golden-Apple-Acres, where Siva is staying. Siva doesn't trust humans, he's shy and very skiddish too. I reached the gate and slowly lifted the handle. The metal screw squeaked and in a flash, Siva was up and ready to bolt. I knew well enough not to make a skiddish horse feel uncomfortable, and it didn't help that he wasn't a fan of humans, so I lowered the handle, not latching it, crouched down a called him.
" Siva, here boy" I clicked my tongue. "C'mon its okay. I ain't gonna hurt ya." I pulled out a sugar lump from my treat pouch on my hip. Nothing,
"Siva Come here. Its okay, nothing bad is going to happen. you can trust me."
He plopped right on his hindquarters and turned his back to me. Funny, I've only seen my lil' sis do that. I lowered on my stomach and army crawled under the fence. He turned his head, whinnied at me and looked away again. So it was the squeaking that scared him. Interesting. I grabbed the halter and rope off the fence and clicked my tongue again. I spoke to him softly. He got up and turned to me. I stopped dead in my tracks. I pulled out the sugar lump again, he flicked his ears in recognition of the sweet smell. I crouched down and whispered his name. He took a step closer then looked around.
" Siva, here boy, want a nice treat? Gotta come over here to get it. " I teased him for a while and he eventually got closer.
" What ya gonna do when ya catch em'!? Can't get that halter on him! "
Siva Bolted. Jhon, no wonder.
" Damn you Jhon! I almost got him! Can't you go water the horses or feed the pigs!? "
" Nah, Id rather watch you fail. "
" Well don't get you hopes up! "
Jhon never took anything, or anyone seriously. He was always messing around. He rode here and helped care for the animals. It took about an hour to catch that horse. Jhon couldn't believe I got the halter on him. But that's just because Siva stuck his nose in it when he ate the sugar lump. After Siva got comfy in his stall I wrote on the board in big broad letters, Siva Is Not To Be Bothered, He Is My Responsibility. I turned out the office lights and went home, hoping training will get easier.
