1) Name yourself Faint
2) Number of horse you want. 2
3) Story of this horse (Please excuse me for the length of this story, I just get carried away :3)
Panting, running; away from what?
Her feet barely touched the ground as she ran through the dark forest. The full moon, the heavy breeze and the darkness that danced around her and yet nothing kept her from stopping. Her stamina yet increased as she thought about the idea of being caught. Being low on strength wasn't helpful and the mare had to stop to a trot due to low energy.
Who kept running after her? Those strange voices and the unusual sounding footsteps that could be heard in the distance, just couldn't be hallucinations. It was real and it was all happening now.
Yet the most terrorizing question was why were they running after her? The pregnant mare breathed quickly as she ran through the recent events. Were they the two-legged? It was only a week ago when the wild mare showed any signs of interest to the humans, but that was just once.
The sounds of footsteps was getting closer and in the next second the mare was off her feet, flying for her life. She angrily bolted between the trees, only then starting to understand that this area was foreign to her. The need to return to her homeland was now becoming very significant because if one lost himself, then he would never find himself again. But what choice did this mare have?
A few steep hills and now everything blurring into total darkness, and suddenly that nasty fall... Her front leg suddenly slipping down through the mud and now all her weight making her fall down the hill. Crashing against something and then that deep silence...
Every colour smudged into itself, everything was hard to tell apart. Everything felt like hell, right at that moment. The equine shook her head, realizing that a bright light was entering the scene. Again the mare was trying to get to her legs, trying to escape. But her legs felt like blades and the weight upon her back didn't make life any easier. She dropped her head on the damp foliage, trying to get back to her senses; trying to realize the environment around her.

Suddenly the mare could hear those strange unhorse voices and the petting on her muzzle.
'Was this the one you were talking about?'
'Look at her she is dead!'
'More like blind.'
'Look at those scars!'
'And you were saying she would cost us a fortune!'
The rabble carried on for a long time and the poor mare helplessly try to stand on her legs, hoping that she could still escape. It wasn't long before everything quieted down and again that soft sound of nature. The mare calmed down thinking that now she could leave this place, but wasn't she wrong.
She was tired, her hunches were still cold with sweat and nothing was giving her the chance to move. But suddenly that feel of someone's hand on her neck made her jolt back violently.
'Calm Down!' that celestial whisper sounding through her ears. She breathed quietly and returned back to her previous lying position. The mare could feel the stranger's hands move on her body, she was feeling discomfort but didn't do anything. What was this stranger's problem?
Her head was full with questions but there was nothing she could do or ask. She breathed suddenly, gasping a breath of air as she felt something prick her on her neck...
The next second she was sleeping only awaking to find herself in a tight looking box (from a horse's perspective), she snorted gently, already getting onto her legs. Those tied bandaged and the bitterness that was in her eyes, still something felt not right. The mare looked slowly at her stomach, something was wrong. Something was missing. Surely, it couldn't be?
Idiocy seized the mare and the frightened animal acted blindly, half-rearing and pushing with her weight against the walls. She could feel hushing voices from outside the box but she acted half-blindly make herself visible to any sign of life. She whinnied kicking the latch of her door madly. She pushed with her weight against the walls, only casting worser injuries to her body. Where was her foal? Where was her only offspring?
She could feel a strange force pulling on her head.
'Hush now.' again that soft heavenly whisper. The mare calmed down slowly before trying to find the source of the voice however again the colours were blurring into eachother. She jumped up suddenly, scared of what she was supposed to face right now. And again that soft voice.
'Calm down.'
The mare breathed out a wisp of air before gently trying to sniff out; where the voice had come from. She could sense, something strange. A human. There was the smell of horse dung on it and that very fresh smell of hay in it's hair.
'Good girl,' She could feel the human's hands gently rubbing her neck. The thought of her foal jolted her and suddenly raised her head letting out a mournful sound. There was another disappointed sigh from the human but still no answer.
A few quick breathes and the human started muttering under her breath.
'She is gone. OK?'
How was it OK? If you had lost your only child?
'It was that accident; that steep hill that made you fall...'
The horse backed away from the human, her eyes hot with tears. Surely it wasn't true? There was no more sign of open-friendship in the mare and the human silently left the box.
*****
After the loss of her foal, the mare had lost weight and nearly lost her life if it weren't for the human. She was named officially Casiphia after her gigantic loss and soon was starting to have a meaning in her life. The mare was taught dressage and though rather blind, she was becoming more and more popular with everyone else in the stable. She was an elegant mare and that is what would catch the eye of judges in the dressage competitions. Obedient and loyal to her master she soon learned the true meaning in life.
