Story/Description/etc: It was a crisp winter's eve. The sun was just falling behind the trees as Canelle made her usual final lap around the pasture. It was her routine to walk the perimeter just before being stalled. Snow fell lightly onto her back and melted into her coat, yet it was too pretty to miss. Just as the last bits of sunshine disappeared behind the trees, Canelle made it back to the gate, expecting to see her owner ready to lead her inside. It may have been pretty, but much, much too cold. Instead, she found her owner standing there with a blanket. This alarmed Canelle. She knew that meant staying outside. She'd seen other owners to it to their horses, but she herself had never stayed outside since her human had no other horses, just one stall for Canelle. She walked up to her human and whinnied. The human opened the gate and moved inside the pasture.
"Sorry, Canelle, but you'll be outside tonight. The new Stallion gets the stable tonight. Now, here you go." Her owner said, putting the blanket on Canelle with ease. She then patted Canelle's nose and turned, walking out of the pasture and closing it once more. Canelle whinnied shrilly once more, but no one came to her. Soon the light snow turned into a heavy blizzard.
Canelle met the horse who had stolen her stall the next morning. He was a handsome palomino with what looked like snowflake markings. His name was Gold on the Horizon, or simply "Horizon" to most. He was everything she hated: arrogant, cold, unfriendly and rude. Yet, it seemed that the human absolutely loved him. Canelle did have to admit that we was impressively good at Dressage, but every time she tried to compliment him on it and be nice, he'd simply snort and say, "I know." She never even really talked to him as he would always just walk off. Thus, the two of them stayed out of each other's ways. Their owner fairly alternated nights on which each horse would stay in the stall, but seemed more interested Horizon now. Canelle grew to hate the sight of his shiny Palomino coat. However, after a few months, her human seemed to balance out her interest in both horses to even. She also built and new stall so both Friesians could be indoors when needed. Even with all this, though, Canelle always avoided and hated the attention-hogging stallion. (Eventually they'll probably really meet for the first time and she'll find his sweet, gentle side, but for now, she really despises him.)
