Saving Winston Page #2

---

It's a good thing I found him.

We need to help him somehow.

At this point, I'm concerned

with the issue at hand.

You should have left me

a note, Ash, or called.

Mom took my cell phone,

or did you forget that?

I didn't know.

I don't want you to feel

trapped here, but for

obvious reasons, I just need

to know where you are, okay?

Fine.

Yeah?

This isn't how I

wanted to start out.

Well, me neither.

I'm heading back down to

the stable, but I'll call

about the horse and see if

there's anything we can do.

Okay?

Okay.

So, are we good?

Yeah.

Hey Travis, it's me.

Is that the horse?

What's his name?

I don't know.

You look really great.

So we back together?

Maybe.

I've gotta get back before

my aunt finds out I'm gone.

Can I put my bike

in your trunk?

No problem.

Thanks again for

helping us pick him up.

I'm a bit shorthanded on people

who can haul for me this week.

Sure, no problem.

You know, it's ironic

you called on this horse.

The family just signed

him over yesterday

wanting us to place him.

Come on, Winston.

That's his name?

According to his paperwork.

Well, why couldn't

they keep him?

'Cause the elderly owner

was recently put into

a nursing home,

and the family can't afford

to keep him any longer.

You can just follow

me to the rescue stable.

Okay.

Wait, what?

I thought we were taking him.

No, he's going to

the rescue center

where they'll adopt him out.

Well, why can't we keep him?

I can't take on anymore

horses right now at the stable.

Well, well, can't

we put him with Chip?

I'll take care of him.

Well, we are running low on

stall space at our facility.

Diane, you're on the committee

for the horse rescue program.

If you're okay with it, I can

release him to you for now.

Well, I guess he's

staying with us for a while.

You still go to that church?

Yeah.

So what's the plan?

First we'll get the vet

to come check him out,

and we'll need to control his

feeding so his body can adjust.

Then you two can get

comfortable with each other

and we'll take him over

to the other stable.

You're gonna help me, right?

When you need me to.

Right now, he just

needs basic handling.

Hey.

In a while I have

a hair appointment

and she can fit you in

also if you want.

So what are you trying to say?

Have you looked

in the mirror lately?

It's my treat.

It's that bad?

So, we'll leave in an hour?

Okay.

You like it?

Yeah.

She did a good job.

You ready for lunch?

Sure.

Well, I'll stop and get

us some sandwiches to go.

Are you that hungry?

Here you go.

And I'll be right back.

So your goal is to get

him to walk when you walk

and stop when you stop,

without pulling

on him to get the result.
