Bully Turns Centauress Part 4

Robert leaned on the fence to a vast pasture, measured as nearly 12 acres; yet it was enclosed so that the horse couldn't escape but big enough for them to run free.  Looking over the fence Robert saw a group of about 6 mares running back the main gate, the group of 6 mares was led by a centaur.  It had been a month since Ashley had become a centaur and she was already the led mare of the various horses that lived on their ranch.  The month of June was in its twilight and July was merely days away.

Robert beamed with joy as the horse slowed to a trot and then stop in front of the main gate.  Robert still was taken aback with how beautiful of mare his daughter has become.  Ashley's human half was very athletically strong, in the most feminine way, to go along with breasts that would make any guy stop in his tracks to gape; her hair had become long and curly and followed with the wind naturally whenever she would trot or run.  Her horse half was sleek and strong yet thin like any young mare would be.  Now it almost seemed out of place to think of her of anything but a centaur mare.  In the past month she has been maturing as a person surprisingly fast.  Her hard work starting to show, humility starting to creep more and more into her personality, and most of all treating people with respect has started to become an even bigger part of her personality each day.  Ashley even got use to only wearing a bikini top day in, day out; although the tan lines where not obvious.

"Maybe treating her just like and having her live as one of the mares was the best action after all.  I can't wait for our ride on the countryside today," thought Robert.

"Hello Father," said Ashley in a respectful tone, her hair on top of her head was slightly knotted due to keeping it down and letting the breeze go through it.  Seeing Robert stand right at the gate several horses neighed.  

"It's time to put away the other mare's sweetie.  It's nearly supper time and I would like to get a good ride on your back before we go in for food," said Robert.  Over the past month Ashley has been living in the horse stall that she originally been found in.  There she was treated like one of the mares and she had actually begun to think of herself as one.  Although Ashley hated what her parents were doing to her at the beginning of this whole summer she began to find purpose in making sure that the mares where well groomed, fed, and their stalls kept clean and tidy.  

Sighing with a neigh, a little quark that Ashley had picked up as a centaur, Ashley responded, "But father.  The girls and I were having so much fun running in the field.  Couldn't we stay out a little longer?"

"No sweetie.  It has been a long day and I think some father/daughter time would best before bed," Robert responded.   "Please lead the other mares to their stalls and I will get out my riding gear."
"Yes sir," responded Ashley, pouting.  She turned and gathered up all of the other mares and led each and every one of them to their stalls.  Then she trotted out to the front of barn where she found her father waiting.  Ashley trotted right up to her father and stopped.  She knew the procedure well enough; Robert first put on the blanket, then the sattle, which Ashley always found to be like a tight belt.  

"Please bring your head down here sweetie," asked Robert.  Ashley did as she was asked and leaned forward far enough so that her father could reach up and put on an adjusted bridle that fit perfectly on her human head.  The metal bar that now sat in Ashley's mouth would prevent her from speaking since it didn't allow her tongue to move very well.  Tightening everything Robert then threw the reigns over Ashley's back and Ashley pulled her human torso up to its correct position.  A moment later, Robert put his right foot into the stirrup and swung his left foot over Ashley's horse body and into the other stirrup.  Grabbing ahold of the reigns and knocking both of his heels into the withers of Ashley, Robert whistled once; signaling to Ashley to begin trotting forward.  

As they trotted along towards the horse trail that most people around town would use to ride their horse Robert began to speak.  "We will be taking the short road today Ashley.  It is shorter but it is more open and it allows you to run and I do so enjoy doing that with you."

All Ashley could do was to nod in understanding; she was a speed horse and her father knew it.  Robert heeled her hither once more and Ashley automatically responded to it by going faster.

As they made it to the trail Ashley felt another heel kick and she automatically began to run faster.  The breeze was now flowing through her hair and the feeling of running with her centaur body made Ashley feel powerful, strong, and free from the world around her.  Her head cleared as they continued to run down the trail, blazing by the trees, bushes, and the wildlife that happen to cross them.  Although she felt insulted and humiliated at first that someone would ACTUALLY ride her; Ashley actually became found of her father riding her.  It was a way for them to spend time together.  They spent more time together than they ever spent together in the past, for that she was grateful.  Time seemed to stop for Ashley as she continued to run the trail.  

Ashley ran and ran for the pure fun of it.  Suddenly, the trail circled around and ended near where they had begun.  It seemed like moments to Ashley; yet, time lapsed for nearly an hour.  It was nearly 5 pm and supper was about to be served to the entire horse stock.  Ashley and her father, Robert, enjoyed their daily run as much as ever.  As Ashley trotted back to the front of the horse barn she stopped to let her father off and he led her to her stall.  Once in her stall Ashley allowed her father to unzip the bridle and sattle, which for Ashley was an intimate situation.  

"You're mother with be in a moment to clean you and brush you down," said Robert, smiling up at his centaur daughter.  "You have been great so for sweetie.  A lot has been done that we would not have been able to without you."  

Leaning down to her father's head level she let him kiss her on the cheek.  "Thank you, father," said Ashley, as her human torso moved back up straight.  

Robert turned around and left the stall and then out of the barn and out of sight.  A few moments later, Ashley's mother came in.

"Hello Ashley.  How are you doing this evening?" her mother asked as she entered the stall her daughter stood in.
