The Horse Who Went to Church

A rider faces a difficult situation, as she must attend church then almost immediately get her horse to a dressage show. There’s very little time after Mass to go home, hitch up the trailer, load up the animal, and be punctual for her first class. To make life easier, she decides to haul her gelding to church. Firecross is munching hay in his trailer in the parking lot as she sits in her pew waiting for Mass to begin. But the service never starts. Hooves suddenly clatter up the center aisle: they belong to Firecross, and pandemonium ensues. Will the horse trample the parishioners? What will Father Frank’s reaction be? Will he throw the owner out of his church with her horse? And, most importantly, will they still be able to make it to the dressage show in time to compete?

His head was up and his ears were pricked forwards so rigidly that they almost touched at the tips. One of them swiveled towards me and the other was fixed on Father. The animal’s eyes were bulging and his head was turned towards the large group of parishioners at the back of the church.

A kid squealed and Firecross’s eyes widened further at the unfamiliar sound. Looking for an exit, he spotted the huge side windows along the wall opposite the saints.

Gentle sunrays, momentarily hidden behind clouds, burst through the glass panes. Golden hues cast long bright shafts onto the floor and Firecross focused his attention on this sudden shift of light.

Now that the wild mustang was no longer threatening to bolt past them, the churchgoers stopped hugging the back doors. They were back in spectator mode and settled down to enjoy the unfolding drama from a safe distance.
