Story: (featuring one of my mares, Tavári)Ironically, Fiera was blinded by a fire when she was a young foal. It was a hot, dry summer, and, some way or another, a heap of hay next to the barn caught fire. By the time the stablehands realized there was a fire, it had already spread to the barn. They managed to get all the horses out, but some were affected by the smoke and flames. Fiera, in the very back of the barn and quite near the fire, got the worst of it. She was permanently blinded. For a time, Fiera was wild with terror and confusion. Her once-easygoing nature was turned fearful and untrusting. Until Tavári showed up. A young, playful foal - with an absolutely
burning curiosity. When Fiera came to Edge of Eternity Stables, Tavári was instantly curious about this crazed, unseeing mare. Despite warnings to stay away from the frenzied mare, Tavári couldn't help herself. She kept slipping through the pasture fence and going over to Fiera's paddock. At first, Fiera took no interest in the small, high voice that was constantly piping at her from over the invisible fence, but as time went on, she, too, grew a bit curious. She starting talking with the filly, and they quickly became the best of friends. Over time, the filly's influence mellowed Fiera back out, and soon she was back to her old self - with an added hint of curiosity and liveliness, thanks to Tavári.
