[attr="class","cbody"]Horses were a lot of work.
[break][break]
This wasn’t some giant revelation to him. From the moment the idea of getting Maya a horse for Christmas had come to his mind, he had known that it was a massive undertaking. It wasn’t something that he was going to take lightly. He knew that there was a lot of responsibility for a child getting any pet, but a horse was certainly more work than most other pets were. It was why he hadn’t made a final decision on this.
[break][break]
He knew that there were plenty of other presents that he could get Maya instead. There were even plenty of different pets that he could get her. She might like a cat. That would certainly be more low-maintenance than a horse would be. He would not have to do nearly as much research for that.
[break][break]
But for now, he wanted to give this a try. He had already looked into boring at a stable outside of London, and it had seemed nice enough. He was sure that it was beautiful when the trees had leaves and the flowers were in bloom, but it had still been a pleasant enough place, even with how cold it was outside. The stablehand that he’d spoken to had been incredibly informative. He had found out that there were spots open for boarding there and he had also gotten some more information about certain breeds of horses to look into.
[break][break]
He definitely had somewhere to start. But now he knew that he wanted to do some research of his own. He hadn’t gone straight to Flourish and Blotts, of course. He’d headed back to work for a while--there was plenty for him to get done there, and he couldn’t just take an entire day off to research horses. No, he thought that he could at least attempt to space it out a bit. But once he had been done at the office for the day, he’d headed out and into Diagon Alley.
[break][break]
Chris didn’t honestly know how much this particular bookstore would have on horses. They were a Muggle pet, technically. There was a chance he’d have to head back into the Muggle world to really get some more information, but he figured it was at least worth a shot to see if Flourish and Blotts had what he was looking for.
[break][break]
And as luck would have it, he found that they did have a sparse collection of books about Muggle horses. They were tucked into a rather far back part of the store, but he didn’t mind that. It hadn’t been too hard to find them and now that he was back here, and there was no one else around, he could focus on his options and figure out what books would help him with research the most.
