Bio
Mallory has managed to live up to her name as her life has been a series of nothing but bad luck. She was born into a set of twins, a very rare occurrence and an often deadly one. Hours after the birth, Mallory's unnamed brother was lost, and eventually so was her mother. Everyone had expected her to pass to but she was relatively healthy, and survived the ordeal. She was nicknamed Banshee, and if you know what that entails you'll understand why. This is where she later earned her show name.

Fast forward a few years and after a seemingly hopeless life of training and showing, Mallory was carelessly sold off to the first interested party. She ended up with many other horses on the farm of a very ruthless hoarder. The more obedient horses cowered in the far corner of the muddy paddock they shared, and the more ornery ones were adorned with scars from his brutality. One of these horses was a particularly aggressive mare by the name of Pestilence, whom was probably the most scarred horse on the hoarder's farm. Pestilence found it in herself to take the very frightened Mallory under her wing, and under the leadership of the most aggressive stallion in the paddock, Apocalypse. Even though he wasn't the friendliest horse Mallory had ever met, she had a deep respect for him. He was never violent towards his 'herd,' only to those who threatened it. Mallory quickly became rather malnourished and her health began to slowly deteriorate over many years, as did the rest of the horses. Even worse, she ended in foal 3 times, but because of her own poor health the foal never survived the birth. It seemed they would never get out of that place.....

Mallory began to notice over a course of a few weeks that at night someone would be just outside of the farm, watching, scoping it out. She didn't know who they were, or what they were, or what their purpose was, but somehow she just knew that they would be the thing that would bust them out of the prison they had found themselves in.

Soon enough, the farm was invaded with police officers and animal rescue everywhere. Even the most nervous of the horses knew that the trailers looming in front of them were safety. Not one hesitated. The man was arrested, the farm was shut down, and they were finally going to be given a second chance at life. It took months in the facility for them to be nursed back to health, but eventually all their illnesses were treated, they filled out, wounds turned to scars, and they were ready to go to new homes.

Mallory, Apocalypse, and Pestilence all knew that the chances of them all being adopted together were slim, but that's when a large red trailer with a brown horseshoe and image of a river on the side pulled up. It just so happened that Manteca Creek was in the market for three knew horses. As Mallory was loaded into the trailer with her two best friends, she began to wonder if this change in her luck would stay permanent.
