Fog Mountain Yukons - E062

Jaques Kymberlin circa 1846 wrote: "While wandering a nearby face, it occurred to me the true reason why no one had ventured this far. The fog was as thick as stew with the appearance you could simply cut a tunnel through it to find your way. As I wandered, my ears seemed to betray me as reverberating sounds met me with muffled reverence as my eyes attempted to make sense of the dense fog that surrounded me. Was the legend true? Many who had travelled here had gone made with the pure overwhelming feeling of power Fog Peak had radiated, the sense that someone -or something- was watching you, but the drive to find the hidden, purest form of Yukon was the only motivation for anyone, including myself. I had caught glimpses of fast moving shadows and the hidden calls of these ancient beasts but to find them? Seemingly impossible. Maybe one day someone can locate these creatures and put the old legend to rest.

We found this babe in a field of flowers so tall it was almost hard to see it! Upon closer inspection of it's golden hide, we saw a dull striping that we initially thought it was simply brindling but came to find out due to genetic analyzing that it is another special marking that Fog Mountain Yukons seem to carry. Something showing from an ancient ancestral background? Or could it possibly be a recent run in with something from a more recent brush in with an African Variant? Who knows. Without further ado, to win this babe give them a fitting name and a story of how you met this beauty!

Story: Part of a small team sent to locate a wayward young zebra stallion and the calm elder cob mare selected as his companion. The pair were last seen nearly three years ago, before vanishing into the night, no signs of foul play at the scene, as if they’d simply been spirited away by the fog. However as time went by the search scaled down, but recent rumours of horses bearing stripes roaming the mountains had led a small team out to check the validity.
Leading my mount along the side of a stream, following the many tracks pressed into the mud, looking for the slightest differences to distinguish the zebra stallion from the local wild stock. Casting eyes about, shielded from the sun by raised hand, I noticed a tall flower meadow, in which a few horses grazed, barely visible till they raised their heads, one such head, was that of the missing cob mare, her distinctive facial markings easy to pick out. If she were here, maybe the zebra stallion were too? Playful whinnies cut the air as two young horses crashed through the wild meadow, heading towards the stream. Drawing short, two heads dropped to drink, before a golden one raised locking soulful eyes with my own. The sun rippled across his coat showing the faint impressions of stripes. The younger beside him, nipped at him demanding their game resume. Similar faint stripe showing across their coat. Watching transfixed I stood, till my own mare nosed my back as a baying call summoned the cob mare and the others from the meadow. Time to return and declare this area searched. Searched and negative for clues or sightings. Let the zebra stallion have his freedom out here, in the wilderness with his hard won herd. Though hopefully the golden beauty wouldn’t stay away forever...

(This is semi based upon real events of a young zebra stallion being kept with an elder cob mare between zoo transfers. The mare who’d never has a foal as far as anyone knew, then had a half zebra foal which came as something of a shock to everyone involved!)
