Prompt: Big herd
Siren yawned and pawed at the metal floor. He had been in the trailer all day and wasn't sure why. Siren was a little nervous as the trailer lurched to a stop. He wanted to stretch his legs and run. Siren was backed out of the trailer and led to a fence. He saw the biggest herd in the world! He knew his herd was pretty small, but this herd had at least a hundred horses. There were horses of every shape, size, and color. Siren wondered if he would meet them. Or how he would meet all of them. Siren's handler led him into the herd to mingle. Siren had not only his halter on, but he had the number 87 on his rump in white chalk. Siren mixed with the horses and was accepted very easily. Siren bumped into a stallion and was caught off guard. The stallion was pure white; not a light grey, but a true white. He was short for a stallion standing at a mere 16 hands, but he had a confident air about him. "Sorry." Siren apologized. "That's alright. Have you been in a herd this big before?" The stallion asked. "No. It's so big. It's weird and a little scary." Siren admitted. The stallion chuckled a little. "Yeah i suppose it is scary espesially to someone not used to it, but don't worry nothing will harm you." Siren smiled and relaxed a little. The stallion's voice was calm and soothing. It had a little bit of a drawl to it, but it made it that much more comforting. The stallion showed Siren around all day. Siren learned that the stallion's name was Moon and he was the lead stallion. Moon nade sure Siren was accepted and no one bothered him. Siren wasn't sure why his handler brought him here, but he wondered if Moon would join the herd.
