The sun was setting over the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside as Maria and her horse made their way through the rows of olive trees. The air was filled with the sweet scent of the trees and the soft rustling of the leaves as they rode.
Maria had always loved riding through the olive groves, the trees seemed to stretch on forever, like a never-ending tunnel of green. She felt a sense of peace and freedom as she rode, the rhythm of her horse’s hooves on the soft earth beneath them was meditative.
As they rode, Maria noticed the different stages of the olive harvest. Some trees were already bare, their branches stripped of their fruit, while others were heavy with olives, their branches bending under the weight. The trees seemed to be whispering to each other, sharing stories of the season's bounty.
Suddenly, her horse stopped, his ears perked up and his tail swishing. Maria looked around, but she saw nothing out of the ordinary. Then, she heard it - the soft rustling of leaves, the snapping of twigs, and the soft padding of feet. A wild boar was making its way through the grove, its bristly fur blending in with the shadows.
Maria's heart raced as she grabbed the reins tighter, ready to ride away if needed. But her horse seemed to be unafraid, he stood still, his ears still perked up, as if listening to the boar's movements. The boar, sensing their presence, turned and looked at them, its eyes glowing in the fading light.
For a moment, they just stared at each other, the boar and Maria, two creatures from different worlds, connected in this moment of stillness. Then, the boar turned and disappeared into the shadows, leaving Maria and her horse to continue their ride through the olive grove.
As they rode on, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape. Maria felt grateful for this moment, this chance to connect with nature and its creatures. She knew that she would always cherish this memory, this ride through the olive grove, with her beloved horse by her side.

Hint(s): None

@ASHJ2 Correct!

white horse, white in the name, sunset, dusty road, horses running in the background?

LS AH White Piccolo

Today is the last day! Tomorrow awards and prizes will go out! Good luck!

Later I will post Level 10, a bonus may go out beforehand.

Any hints? I'm stuck between two.

I picked this one because of the mane bells and snow. And the northern lights background is like a city's glowing lights.

I figured with winding river.. The name River Valley was fitting. (and sleigh bells and snow helped my thought process.) :))

Level 10 - Last paragraph! — Worth 3-10 Points
There are 3 winning horses! You can guess for all 3 or just one, but let others guess before you do!

Horse 1
(From the Book, A Horse Called Her by Sam Angus) Contains Spoilers!

“ ‘He’d like to race but he doesn’t know what racing is,’ said Wolfie. ‘He doesn’t go in circles, he goes in straight lines, because he’s a charger.’ ‘Well, let’s show him about circles too. Let’s try him in the Maiden Stakes.’” (Page 149)

“ ‘The young grey’s coming up on the inside – Number Five’s on the inside, he’s found a gap – he’s coming up fast, he’s passing them! Have you ever seen anything like it here at Comer’s Gate? He’s a streak of light – he’s neck and neck with Seven. We’re into the final furlong and Number Five – there’s fire in him – he’s a head ahead, he’s a length ahead, he’s found another gear, he’s got another speed he didn’t know he had! He’s leading the field, he’s leaving the field behind . . . He’s left it behind – th
ey’re on the home straight and he’s found he’s got wings – he’s outlasted, out-strided, outpaced all others . . . This horse didn’t know he could run, and now he’s running as though he’s been doing it all his life . . .’
The crowd broke into a roar. Wolfie was laughing, tears streaming from his eyes. He and Hero were the sun and the wind and the sky.”
(Page 155)

Hint(s): This horse looks similar to the book cover.

Horse 2
(From the Book, Pony by R.J. Palacio)

"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind." "Don't judge a boy by his face." (Palacio, Wonder)
“Even if we can’t see it, the sun never stops shining.” “This must be the mark of my destiny, I remember thinking. My face, half red, for I live half in this world and half in the next.”
― R.J. Palacio, Pony
From the inside cover of the book, “…awoken in the dead of night by three horsemen, who arrive unannounced to take his father away. Silas is left shaken, scared, and alone, except for the presence of his companion, Mittenwool… who happens to be a ghost.”

Hint(s): This horse also looks like the one on the book cover.
