Day Two, Short Story Challenge - Her Horse

The horse was beautiful. The rider in total control, no, in sync with her mount. They performed an elegant dance around the arena. The rider, she never needed to say a word. It was as if the horse already knew what was expected of him, what he must do and when. Their minds working as one. However, when the horse stumbles, it could not recover, and falls. Our rider, she, unluckily, get rolled over. The horse returns to his feet, the rider lies still. People run to her side. Still nothing. Medics are called and she is rushed to the hospital. There she fought. The trauma endure worse than what originally believed. Doctors worried. Her future unknown, but, finally, she woke. Brain rocked. Memories blurred. Luck was on her side in that arena. After weeks, she saw her loyal friend. An apology on his eyes. Despite the events that had passed, all was forgiven. And in time, the rider and her mount returned to win the gold.
