Sarah snorted and dipped into her landing approach. Circling, she lost
altitude each time around. Finally, coming in over the fence, Sarah
arranged her wings for landing and bent her legs slightly to soften
contact with the ground. Leah tightened her grip.
Close to the soft earth near the patio, Sarah's wings beat the air. She
hovered for an instant, then lowered until all four hooves touched down.
A four-point landing. The flight was over.
Leah slipped off Sarah's smooth back, wrapped her arms around her
neck and gave her a tight hug. Sarah's hoof scraped the ground and she
gave another of her soft, gentle snorts.
Daddy stuck his head out through the patio doorway.
'Hi, there,' he laughed, 'what's happening.'
'Out and about, Dad, been flying, don'tcha know?' Leah answered.
'Sarah and I just got in from a short flight around the yard and over to
Daniel's place.'
'I see,' Daddy said. 'Well, I'm pleased you made it back in time for our
before-dinner get-together. David is up. Come on in and we'll roll on
the rug and talk for a minute before you help set the table.
