answer: "These scars? Heh, yeah. I got them a long time ago, back when I wasn't much more than a colt. This tale starts before I was born though. My dam was headed to the slaughterhouse before I was born. They tried to sell her to a nice, loving home, but the only ones who wanted her were kill buyers. Shortly after arriving, I came into the world. They put up bail prices for both of us and waited for what seemed like eternity. How could it not? Our lives were on the line here and if no one took us, we were as good as dead. Quite a few people were interested in us, unfortunately not together though. Before long, my dam was sold and I was left on my own to face the unknown fate that lay before me.
Cold and alone, I waited for my fate to come. It must've been a short time, but the suspense made it drag on. I was done waiting then to see what would happen to me. The first chance of escape that I saw, I took. I escaped from the horrible enclosure and ran until I had come across an electric fence. Unfortunately, I didn't know it was an electric fence, or even what an electric fence was. I made the mistake of repetitively running into it at different angles until I bled. Later these cuts would turn in to scars. Eventually I learned that this fence would only cause pain, so I found another way out; a hole in the fence just large enough to squeeze out of. From there I ran until I found myself in what appeared to be a forest. It was all new to me so I had no idea what dangers lurked in there for me to find.
Night fell a lot quicker than I expected and I lacked any skills of basic survival. Lost, cold and hungry, I wandered the dark forest until I heard a howl. Coyotes. It couldn't have helped that I stank of blood and filth. One soon found me, and I fought for my life, my instincts kicking in. I kicked and bucked as hard as I could at the coyote, not before meeting sharp claws. He had ended up scratching my face and rear deeply; more future scars. I knew I didn't have much of a chance so I ran. I reached some sort of town, and was soon brought to a shelter if you will, where they took care of my cuts. They did as much as they could, and even sent me to several stables to try to help before I was finally sent to where I reside now. When my bandages were taken off, they saw that the cuts were gone; in their place were scars. Scars that remind me of my past."
