In the evening when every human is fast asleep Nightingale and the horse fairies arrive. They spend hours riding Old Horse taking him with them into the fairy realm where dreams are made.

Together they ride into the dreams of sleeping children looking for true believers of fairy folk and enchanted horses who never grow old.

As dawn approaches the fairies must return Old Horse to his stable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There they tenderly hug him goodbye for the daylight hours, showering him with affection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every evening the fairies will return to Old Horse and they will enter into the dreams of slumbering children.

 

 

 

 

 

In the morning when the little girl rises she goes out to the stable where she feeds and grooms Old Horse. He is her guardian; her best friend and watches over she and her sister as he did their mother before them.

Long ago Old Horse was enchanted by fairies and though he ages he never grows old.
