Pegasus
Jean L. Kuhnke
After spending several weeks with Aunt Prudence, Prudy began to see a different side to the eccentric Aunt but when Aunt Prudence took her to her farm in West Virginia, Prudy was in heaven. Seeing her great niece blossom in the rustic environment, compared to the opulence found in Richmond, opened Aunt Prudence's eyes to a lifestyle she had pushed aside.
Meeting Peg, a rogue horse that few could approach, Prudy spent many hours trying to befriend the animal. They shared the same unruly hair. Peg's mane and tail were a mass of knots and briars that would take hours to comb out if she could get close enough to tend the animal. Eventually, Prudy came across a fruit that Peg couldn't ignore and after much coaxing, she was able to comb out her mane and tail and thus renaming her Pegasus, a mythical horse of great beauty.
Prudy divided her time between Richmond, Virginia and the farm in West Virginia when Aunt Prudence needed her to make appearances at the high society events in Richmond. As long as she could return to the farm, Prudy was willing to do anything for Aunt Prudence.
It was on the farm that Prudy's life began to change.
