Welcome to my first story here. I hope it satisfies most of you out there.
A long time ago, November, 2017, to be more exact, Mrs. Andy and I had a babysitter and a rare Saturday off together. So we did what we normally do, ROAD TRIP! On a drive through the late fall colors of the Berkshire Mountains we listened to the story "Horse" by Amy Bonnafons on NPR's "This American Life".
Wifey and I got into a discussion, mainly because I thought it was sorta weirdly hot, and she thought it was "My life is so bad I want to be a horse" millennial drivel. She knew of my fetishes, and it's taken a lot to get to the point where I could sit and write this. Sit back, strap in and enjoy the ride.
I didn't know what was wrong with my young wife of eight years. Sadie had been in a funk for the last six months after losing her job as an associate professor of biology at the local college. Jobs became tight in the area after the five thousand student college just collapsed in the middle of the night. I had been a prominent owner of the other large business in town, a large farm on the bottom of the hill in the five hundred acre plot of land I inherited from my parents. We had eggs and chickens. Operation essentially ran itself, I had good management and only went in to sign checks and to check the books. I met Sadie halfway through my BS in Agriculture. She was a hard-charging Equine Studies major, and part of her job was to run the campus stables. The Edgar Prado School of Equine Science collapsed with the rest of Poultney Bigelow College. So, two years ago, I had an indoor riding ring built, with eight stables attached to it on the other side of the hill from the chicken farm. I figured in about three or four years, Sadie would want to start a horse operation of her own. I kept asking, and she never wanted to run her own place.
Then the President of the College, Rupert Hohenzollern was the great-great-great grandson of the last Kaiser, and never really let anyone forget that. However many titles the prince had, however, he never really learned administration and ran the college so far into the red, that one night mid-semester, the lights got shut down and everything that could be picked up got sold off immediately. That included all the horses in the generational breeding program Sadie was working on. Now she just woke up, ate a bare minimum, and stared off the porch towards the fifty private acres on this side of the property.
I had again asked her if she wanted to run a breeding program here at the house. The farm was just one of the businesses I had and pretty much had more money than I knew what to do with. I could afford a few smaller stakes winners, say a Travers or Haskell winner to start the stock. She looked back at me, hurt.
"You really don't know, do you? You really think I want that? I love being around horses because it was freeing! You were always the extrovert, schmoozing to the world. I don't want to do 24/7 horse momming. It would mean offering lessons on some of the better to ride horses. An extra staff. More things than I want to deal with at thirty-two!"
At this she walked downhill to the stable. Probably just to get away from me. I went back to my coffee, and figured I would give her some space. Coming on just before noon, I put together a plate for her and walked the hundred yards to the ring.
"Honey, I made you lunch"
No answer.
"Honey, Sadie? I have lunch for you"
Crickets.
Walking past the office and tack room, I found my wife in Stable #1. Laying on fresh hay she must have broken from one of the bales I had in case someone brought a horse in for the weekend.
"Sadie? What are you doing down there?"
"Oh Dave, I always found laying on a freshly mucked floor to be comfortable. The horses always looked so content." tears started forming as she drifted off to tears yet again.
I put the tray down and crouched next to her, and wiped the tears from her face.
"Honey it's ok, if it feels good, do it, I am not going to judge."
All of the sudden, her face turns a different shade of red from the tears. She started unbuttoning her flannel shirt. "You're seriously not going to judge?"
"No honey, I want you to be happy"
She kept taking off her clothes, until her tall, chubby frame was on display. She went off past me to the next stall and drug another bale in. She just started spreading this bale like the first so there was a thick layer of hay in the back of the stall.
"Dave, let me eat that sandwich now and then I will want to take a nap and think. I'll be back tonight, probably at dark. If I'm not back by say eight, come back out and poke me please? No one
"Whatever you say, Sadie. You seem to have something moving in your beautiful mind, I'm gonna leave you to it."
I walked back to the house, questioning my own sanity. Did Sadie just strip nude and lay down on some hay? What's going on here?
I tried to relax and just enjoy an afternoon, but knowing your wife is naked, outside, three hundred feet from your desk is distracting.
Sadie didn't know that I had the barn wired for cameras during construction. I figured if there were "others" on site that I wanted a recording of everything. I haven't had to look at the footage, aside from what the software decided I needed to see. Mainly the occasional animal scurrying through. I turned on the camera for Stall 1 and my jaw dropped.
Sadie was laying on a thick bed of straw, looking straight up at the ceiling.
Masturbating with her right hand, grabbing her breast with the left.
