Owner: Rated R
Equid name: Crestfallen
Age: 7 years
Gender: Gelding
Height: 13.3hh
What is his official colour?: Rose Grey with an extended spotted blanket and a bit of frosting.
100 word Personality: Like his name shows, Crestfallen is a gelding who is surrounded with an aura of melancholy. No one clearly knows why a gelding with such an intricate and haunting coat would carry himself in a despondent manner, nor does anyone know why he was always so upset. An outcast in society, Crestfallen is aloof, but when spoken to, his tone makes the listener want to cry for him, though nothing seems to make him smile. Rumour has it that it could have to do with being sterile and tragic events. No one is sure. [94 words]
Extra: A Short Story, written in poem form, about his torment and bullying due to being sterile and his unusual coat color. [219 words]

The Crestfallen

His shadow accompanied him wherever he went,
Like a companion, like a friend it followed him.
Every equid wonders what could have happened to have him be this way, what event
Could leave a gelding so sad, but no one one knows why it was so unfortunate, so grim.

It was told he had been walking one night,
As a young colt he had known his inability.
In this darkness lurked those of his herd and they had planned this midnight.
The rain fell upon the colt's back as he stood beneath a tree.

Those of his herd pounced upon the outcast,
Jeering, they had kicked and bit his spotted coat.
They made a mockery of his unusual marking, making bruises to match.
The poor colt could not protest; only the occasional painful squeal escaped his throat.

When they had gone, he cried tears into the dirt.
His bleeding wounds felt no pain.
Though he was still left hurt,
These emotional wounds would last longer than the rain.

He is simply known to have vanished with his lacerations healed,
Never does he smile nor anger.
His tears are few; they are now concealed.
His neck stretches towards the ground as though it is heavy with his tragedies as the anchor.

He is crestfallen for life.
He is Crestfallen.

You have such an amazing writing talent - NEVER loose it. I was almost crying reading the short story, I didn't want it to end (And I usually prefer art over writing).

Congratulations - Crestfallen (I so just wanna nickname him like Crusty or something XD) is all yours!

oh my god. thank you so much, Oddly!
I've had such an emotional 24 hours today, which has been really terrible.
This was the first positive thing that happened in that time, so thank you so much!
You have no idea how happy that made me. And how much I needed this, particularly now.
I promise I'll take care of him always <3
I plan to keep my herd this size for a wee bit of time and spoil them all.
Thank you again for Crestfallen <333

I can't believe he is really mine!

I'll introduce him in the fan club when I get to a computer <3
