Growing Up at the Farm: Before he was Wild he was nameless. He was a foal in a sea of others, conceived as a result of neglect and abuse, forgotten along with the others. He despised this life, wishing and wanting for more than to be another drop of water in an endless sea, ignored, lest for his mother and half-siblings, who hardly the the time to dote on him anyway, and abandoned. He longed for a home, for something other than this treacherous life of uncertainty and sorrow, for someone, for family, for life.
Because what he had now wasn't life. It wasn't living. It was as good as death, a field of broken dreams and matted fur, complete with hushed conversations in the dead of night. It was worries every day, no time to frolic away in an endless green field (like the ones that filled his dreams) and no time for distraction. It was survival. and instincts, and pain.
He wondered about the others, the ones older than him who had been here longer, who had been subjected to this fruitless life for years as opposed to only months. The ones who were no longer with them.
He wondered if they'd ever been outside this place, if maybe, before here, they had soared around the racetrack like their ancestors (or so he was told by the oldest of them all, a frail mare who was near her end, he knew). He wanted to run.
To dance in a field or reel through a racetrack. Anything was better than here.
And then, there was salvation, flashes of light, and he soon realized blue, the blue of the lights that flashed so adamantly on the day they were rescued, might be his favorite color.
