Decoy:
I look up and see a mare I had once loved. I also see how large her belly had gotten. I knew at once she was heavy with foal. I quickly glance backwards toward Shy, who I had begun to fall for, and then back at Riva. Looking over Riva, I saw Maria. When I made eye contact with Maria , I pinned my ears at her and turned back to Riva.
"You're in foal to someone. You shouldn't be wandering alone without a stallion by your side, Riva. Its dangerous out here. Just look at me," I turned myself so she could see the stitched wound that went from shoulder to haunch. I looked at her and smiled. It was good to see her, for I had missed her, but it really was dangerous to be out without a stallion for her. I mean, she was so close to having to foal.
Zach:
I smiled and rubbed Shiloh's forehead, ignoring Maria. She had abandoned her brother, my horse, so I no longer cared for her. But, I did care for Shiloh. She was a sweet filly and definitely liked most of us here in the valley. I saw the stallion watching me. He must be with Maria. He seemed like a good stallion for her and Shiloh to be with, but I hoped he and Decoy didn't have a fight. Decoy may win, but there would be a lot of injuries, especially since Decoy still has his stitches in.
Zorro:
I watch the pretty mare and then I watch Maria pin her ears at some of the group. She completely ignores her brother, who I had seen her happily next to only a month ago or so. I wondered what had happened. When Decoy turned himself to the side, I saw a huge tear going from his shoulder to his haunch. It made me shiver imagining how he got it. I watched everything going on around me, not sure what to do. Finally, I go over to where Shiloh was, with a human colt. I stand a little farther away than Shiloh, not sure if the human would try and touch me. But, he doesn't so I relax a bit.
Shiloh:
I nuzzle Zach and let him pet me. Then, when Zorro comes over to us, I turn to him.
"Hi Zorro! This is Zach. He's Decoy's rider. He's really nice!" I say smiling as Zach offers me a peppermint candy. I gently take it from his hand and crunch it. The taste is amazing. Then I see Zach offer a candy to Zorro. I nudge Zorro and smile.
"Take it gently from his hand. They're really yummy!"
Zorro:
I look at the candy in Zach's palm. Looking at how happy Shiloh is, I decide to take it. Inching closer, I reach out my muzzle and gently take the candy from Zach. Shiloh was right. It does taste good.
