Lucy laid quietly in the grass for a few moments though the filly eventually stood back up. She moved closer to her dam and lightly pressed her flank against Dream's. The dark mare stopped grazing and looked to Lucy, nickering reassuringly to her.
There were five foals in the herd and no yearlings currently in Pride's herd, though with foals on the way he knew his herd was going to be bigger next year. "Yes, there are four other foals in this herd besides you and they are all related to us." The tobiano nickered with a flick of his tail. He has sired more foals in the last but they have all been chased away once they were old enough to leave. Realizing that Astria was no longer there, he turned his head slightly to look for her. He spotted Astria quickly and she seemed to be bored so Pride nickered to her, inviting her over. The stallion was calm though alert at the moment, he had mares in heat with him and that may attract rival stallions.
Thunder was scared, the young black stallion didn't want to go with the wranglers, what would happen if he forced to go to them? He didn't want to know and he continued to struggle against the ropes, bucking at anyone who came close. When Blue came towards him the male pinned his ears and whinnied loudly, telling her to turn and run way as he didn't want her to be captured either. The two wranglers who had Thunder stayed where they were but two of the men turned their horses and chased after Blue. They liked her unique coat and wanted to capture her. The two chased after the mare with lasso's in hand and once they got close they would throw the ropes and try to capture Blue. Thunder was going crazy, rearing and bucking and shaking his head, trying to get rid of the ropes around his neck once he saw that some of the humans were going after Blue. He turned to one of the wranglers, teeth bared as he charged forward. Once reached the man and his horse he reared and was about to strike but the dark stallion made a mistake. The other wrangler who was holding one of the ropes around his neck threw another one which was aimed at his front legs. The rope tightened around one of his legs and noticing this the stallion snorted and retuned to all fours. Once back on the ground the wrangler pulled hard on the rope, causing Thunder to fall and lay on his side. The thoroughbred mix laid in the grass, his ears pinned as he panted heavily.
Asuna looked curiously over the newest mare in the band, she wanted to go over and greet her though stayed where she was when the mare went to Tigerlily and challenged her. The chestnut snorted and turned her attention back to Ace who was now grooming her. She gently began to groom him back, her scented tail flicking occasionally. She groomed him quietly, occasionally glancing over to Olivia and Venus but the two fillies were merely resting.
Garry looked around warily, his tail flicking as he watched the bachelors around him. The two year old let out a soft sigh and then lowered his head. He rested a hind hoof and then closed his eyes so that he could sleep.
