Life Before Humans Disappeared: Dakota was a much be loved western Showhorse used for barrel racing, pole bending, western pleasure and trail rides. He was previously owned by a riding school who could not deal with his stubbornness. Because he was Alpha of the horses owned by the school and would try to dominate the riders ; most students couldn't get him to move one step. but one young girl could, they became great friends. The school gave Dakota to the girl after she became a faithful volunteer, trainer and then soon a riding instructor. Dakota went on to win many shows with his girl and trusted her without fail. One day he was tied with a rope halter and slipknot getting ready to be tacked up for a ride, when the humans disappeared. He stood and waited for his girl to come back with the tack, but she never came. After frantically whinnying , and circling the post he was tied to for hours he finally gave up calling out and circling. He spent the night tied up . When morning came he decided to pull free of his rope halter and lead. he ran in the once lively barn, looking for his girl, for anyone and found his tack strewn across the floor but no humans were to be found. So, Dakota decided to set out and look for his friends and his herd....
