*flails* one of my favorite horses is still here D: I can't resist anymore, must have *goes to get form*
Pet's ID Tag: #89
Name You'd Choose for It: Razar (Ray)
Gender: Male
Reason You Want It: I adore horses, especially with this coat. He'd make an excellent match for Lei and father figure for Maroon (both are horse chars, not 'sonas) I thought he'd go quickly, but he's been here a while and I want him to finally have a good home <3
History/Background/Other:
Around and around. All day, every day, Ray runs. He'd been stuck in this pen since she left him. Only so much room here. Not nearly enough for a grown stallion. He makes another lap, then another, letting his mind wander to his happier days. The days when he had fields to explore and lush grasses to graze on. It seemed so long ago, just a distant image n his head, like a dream after waking. It's there, but only in bits and pieces. It fades over time and grows weak. But for now he recalls some distinct happiness in his past life, that just isn't there anymore. They where the days of her and he knows she wont ever be back.
Ray remembers waking to the sound of the stall. She walked in calmly, a lead in one hand and a carrot in the other, She always did bring me a treat he thought, hardly paying attention to his habitual running. But that day was different. She didn't smile at him. Hardly even looked. She hadn't been smiling for a while now, but she had always looked him over. He greeted her in the usual way, oblivious to what was about to happen. She gave him the carrot and put him on the lead without so much as a 'hello boy'.
He followed her faithfully out of the barn wondering where she was taking him. To graze perhaps. He liked that. It was always more pleasant to graze with her near. He was surprised to see a trailer parked out front. They hadn't been practicing for any shows lately. In fact, she had hardly even kept up with the regular exercise, though he'd assumed it was because his injury was still fairy new. That fall had hurt for sure, but he was looking forward to jumping again.
Ray had told himself not to worry, she knew what she was doing and obediently boarded. The next thing he remebers is arriving here. From the outside it looked beautiful. He figured it was a holding barn and allowed himself to be handed over to the man waiting outside. He watched as she got back into her truck without even turning around. He watched until she disappeared over the hill then turned to the man.
He was an angry-looking person and it took him by surprise. The man pulled Ray roughly into the barn where he discovered it wasn't really a barn at all. It had walls, but no ceiling. each stall had a door leading out into a grazing patch, each shared by three stall, but hardly big enough for that many horses.It was pretty empty in there only a few other horses where housed here. He took to his new stall reluctantly. It was separated from the others. He figured it was because he was a stallion, but he liked company.
Ray waited until the next day, when he was sure she'd be back for him. She wasn't. He waited for another night, Still nothing. The days turned into weeks. Soon he lost his appetite and his energy drained. He was angry at her by now. He didn't understand why she'd left him.
That's when he'd taken up the running. The mindless, repetitive running. His patch now had a deep rut running around the perimeter. While running, he thought about why she'd leave him and finally had reached a conclusion.
With her, he'd been a show jumper. They'd traveled far and wide competing and he'd always worked hard. They'd won many ribbons over their career. But then, they'd taken on a particularly challenging course. Just before one of the jumps, he'd slipped and the two went crashing into the poles. She was lucky, she'd walked away with only a bruised ribcage, but he'd fractured a bone in his leg.
The vet had told her that it was a minor fracture and if treated, he'd likely be able to compete. So the next month he spent is time recovering. She'd fawned over him, bringing him carrots and sugar cubes, talking about how amazing they'll be when his leg mends. When he was finally allowed to test his leg, he stood proudly, but favored the leg when walking. He didn't want to stress it too much, the bone wasn't fully healed yet, but this caused a change in her. She started smiling less. The vet told her to give it a week. Ray wanted to reassure her, but his limp stayed. He would be foolish to ignore the feeling, he knew it wasn't quite ready. The week after that, she'd brought him here.
He understood now. She'd given up on him. He cursed himself for being so weak and ran himself harder around his prison, kicking up dust. He ran until he just couldn't anymore. He collapsed in the dirty grass breathing heavily, feeling the ache in his hooves, letting it try to compete with the ache he felt for her, for his green pastures and and lush grasses. He closed his eyes and willed himself to dream. Perhaps tonight he could relive those days if only for a little while.
