The life of a star

I was born eleven years ago in Loir-et-Cher. Dad and Mom were very happy to finally have a boy with such pretty colors. Until I was 5, they left me gamboling in the meadows. And then, one day, it was the thunderbolt between a young boy who was twelve years old and me. He was called Romain, he was very nice, always a stroke, a delicacy, he called me his kitten. |
The beginnings were difficult, many hours of coaching, summer and winter alike. Sometimes we quarelled but it was always very nice. Then, of course, I wanted to reward him. How many competitions have we won together in the careers of Loir-et-Cher ? The year 2004 was our zenith : we finished 3rd in France's championship of cross-country competition. What a joy for both of us ! Unfortunately, Romain has grown up, and I'm not a giant. He had to choose a new companion. The good-byes were hard. I even shed a small tear. But he promised me, a place is reserved to me for my retirement in the meadow beside his house.Am I stupid ! I didn't introduce myself: I’m Gafsa, a contest horse and Romain’s friend.
