The farmer nodded and left the barn before returning minutes later with what looked like a mother and daughter. They were both attired in expensive looking riding gear and were attractive people, the daughter in particular was a pretty young thing with long, blonde hair and an athletic figure. Christina would have guessed she was in her late teens or possibly early twenties.
"Happy birthday Cassie!" The older woman exclaimed as the pair entered the barn "That's Christina over there, she's yours for the day!"
So Christina was some rich kids birthday present? She could think of better uses of her time. And why couldn't they just hire a regular horse for a fraction of the cost? The answer soon came.
"So Christina is a transformed human, right mother?" Cassie checked hopefully.
The older woman smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that's awesome!" The birthday girl stroked her new toy excitedly "that's just what I wanted!"
Christina was a little thrown by this. What kind of warped teenager wanted someone turned into a beast of burden for their birthday present? She didn't have long to muse on that though as the farmhand attached a saddle to her back and Cassie climbed on. Having a full sized human sitting on her wasn't the most comfortable feeling for Christina, but she found herself able to take the strain as she trotted slowly out of the barn and into the nearby fields.
"Imagine having to be turned into an animal for a living" Cassie giggled as her mother clambered onto her own horse to ride alongside her daughter "Christina can't be much use as a human!"
"Don't be rude dear, she can still understand you" the mother warned.
"So what? She's mine all day. I can treat her how I want" Cassie answered back "Come to think of it, I don't like the name Christina and it doesn't really suit a horse. I'm going to call her Sugar"
Sugar sighed inwardly as she trotted along next to the dark, handsome stallion ridden by the little brat on her back's mother. This was going to be a long day.
