Show Name: Shadows In The Light
Barn Name: Shadows
Capture Story:

Shadows was born on government land, in which he loved. He lived in a secluded area that none knew about, a secret lost with the horses. Shadows was only a small colt when humans bombarded his homeland, destroying the lush grass and tainting the crystal creeks. Shadows was snatched away and brought to a ranch where he was abused. Shadows was rudely tamed and ridden at too young of an age, almost desecrating any chance of having a happy life. He was then saved by a young girl and her father, who lived nearby. After the ranchers were arrested, the girl named Zoe bonded with Shadows and slowly nursed him back to health. Now, Shadows is a happy gelding and he lives on a beautiful ranch with Zoe and her father. Shadows competes in equestrian events and hopefully will take part of the Olympics, partnered with Zoe of course.

Show Name: Moonlight Sonata
Barn Name: Soloist
Capture Story: Obstinate and stubborn Storm [his name in his herd at the time] was an unruly, two-year-old colt. Against his father, the lead stallion's, word, he broke off from the herd one evening to explore. He'd heard the tales of man, yet never seen the ferocious, mean cowboys that would lock him up. Curious by nature, Storm caused the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" come true. He despised being the lead stallion and mare's son, being labeled at teacher's pet or being thought to be favored. Storm was not an obedient little boy, and needed something crazy to do, something rebellious. On this night, Storm had coaxed his best friend and happened-to-be crush, Spring, to come. They quietly clopped along the familiar, dusty ground. A whistle sliced through the air. "Look boys!" A sharp voice barked as the thunderous, unmistakable sound of galloping horse hooves filled the nighttime air. Spring's eyes shot to Storm as they began to run, fearful and concerned. Storm closed the space between them, glancing from side to side as cowboys, men surrounded them.
Spring was the first to be caught. She had begun to straggle, urging Storm to go on as she slowed. The rope tightened around her neck and the men laughed with greedy joy. Storm could've been free, could've ran while they were distracted. But he wasn't selfish, and was unable to bring himself to leave Spring. He turned on his heel and thundered back, right into the circle of cowboys. Storm zoned in on the cowboy that held Spring's freedom, which happened to be a small, tough rope. The angry mustang bit his hand and the rope fell to the ground as the cowboy cried out his agony. Storm and Spring were almost free, and began to run to the part in the group that gave them back their lives, with Spring's limp rope trailing behind, when a rope now slipped around Storm's neck. He was jerked back with a series of fearful and fierce neighs. Spring stared to turn, but Storm screamed his order. "Run, Spring, run!" The mare, looking back at Storm with regret and sorrow, flew off, away from the cowboys. "Leave her. We have this stallion." He heard a low command and sighed his unhappiness. Maybe he should've listened to his father, just this once.

Six weeks later, Storm was renamed Soloist, with a show name of Moonlight Sonata. He had been taken into rehabilitation and care of CHWR for many bruises and cuts he had received. They, although not freedom, were better than the mean cowboys. Soloist missed the life he had known, but found peace with this new world. Now he is up for adoption and his silly, stubborn, and strong personality captivates everyone.

Show Name: Stolen Secrets
Barn Name: Hidden
Capture Story: The young horse was born into the herd that inhabited the quiet foothills of a sleepy story book like town. The citizens did not know that within their own hills lived this majestic stallion and his twenty mares and foals. The young one, named Stolen Secrets by his mother, was born to the mare called Secret Treasure and the stallion of the herd was known to them as Buried Past. Secret Treasure was his lead mare, and so naturally the small black roan colt was heir to lead the herd when he came of age and Buried Past stepped down. But then, one day, people came in a helicopter and chased the entire herd down from 'their' foothills and into a makeshift corral. They took all the young ones, including Stolen Secrets, and they herded them from the pen through a chute like creation that terrified them, and into the waiting large trailer beyond. Stolen Secrets squealed in fear as his eyes rolled and he watched the herd set free as the foals were taken away. He was abused by his first owners, then found his way to Cottonwood. On that fateful day, a lovely red head named Jessica arrived to the ranch. She wandered over to the colt and managed to get him to let her pet him. She came back the next day and the next, and soon they formed a bond. And one day, father brought the horse home to her. She called Stolen Secrets, or Hidden, not knowing that was what his mother named him. Was it fate? Who knows. Now, they enter shows and have a good time.

I reserve the right to copyright the names Buried Past, Secret Treasure, and Stolen Secrets 'Hidden'~!))

Barn Name: Como
Capture Story: A young colt, no older than a year and a half followed his dam on thin legs, playing "guard" for her as she carelessly grazed alongside the rest of the herd. This young colt in particular, though, was feeling especially daring, so when his mother dropped her head into a thick patch of tall grass, he galloped to the edges of the herd, his thin legs flying across the plains. That would be around the moment chaos broke free. The herd was a mass of whinnies, bucks and kicks as horses with actual people and tack on them came running from the horizon, strange flying ropes coming straight for them! All of this young colt's attempts to run were wasted; the older ranch horses had longer, more powerful, conditioned legs. And that's when it happened. One of their circled ropes landing cleanly around the base of his neck, disabling his ability to go even just a step further. After a while of struggling against the herders, the roan colt gave up, with his last sight of freedom being the disappearing coat of his mother.

Show Name: Solar Eclipse
Barn Name: Eclipse
Capture Story:
---Eclipse grazed happily in the evening sun. He lifted his head to the breeze, and nickered a greeting to Marie, his best friend. As Marie approached with his green/blue halter, Eclipse took a few steps forward, meeting her halfway. "Hey, there's my good boy" she said as she lifted the hater. Eclipse lowered his head, allowing her to slip it on. As the soft material brushed his muzzle, Eclipse thought back to when to he first met Marie.
-----It was early spring, and the air still had the bite of winter. Eclipse snorted as he looked out over the grassy valley. He twitched his ears, something was wrong; the birds were silent and there were no small animals scurrying about. He struck the ground with a front hoof nervously, sniffing the air and twitching his ears. The breeze suddenly died and ever instinct to told his to run, run far away...Fast! Eclipse watched the valley for another moment before turning and loping toward the eastern mountain.
-----After an hour of running, Eclipse stopped to rest. That was his fatal mistake. There was a loud rumbling, like thunder, but the sky was clear. Eclipse looked toward the sound and saw a flurry of white flying toward him. Before he realized what was happening, Eclipse found himself trapped in a snow-drift. He looked toward the valley, only to find it was barely in view; he had run much further than he thought. Looking in the other direction, Eclipse saw strange structures. 'What are those things?' He thought as he tried to pull himself free, but he couldn't move his legs.
-----Hours later, Eclipse was cold, hungry and thirsty. He knew wouldn't be able survive through the night in this situation, but saw no hope for escape. Feeling drowsy and beaten, he began to drift off. The snapping of a twig broke through the haziness in Eclipses mind. Though he knew he was defenseless, whatever was approaching may not. Eclipse neighed fiercely, ears pinned back. A strange two-legged creature came into view, and made soft noises. Fear tore through him like a wind storm, but didn't last long. Logic said that if this creature wanted to hurt him, it would have done so already. Oddly enough, Eclipse found that he rather liked the noises it was making. He perked ears, and sniffed the air. The creature got down on all fours and slowly came toward him; only moving a few feet every few minutes. By the time it reached it him, Eclipse knew he could trust this odd being. It reached out and stroked the bridge of his nose; Eclipse had never been touched before, but he discovered he loved it! He nickered contentedly, and didn't budge when it began digging at the snow pilled around him. Soon, he was free and the creature stood up slowly. It stroked his nose again, then turned and began walking dow the other side of the mountain, toward the weird structures. Eclipse made a life-altering decision - he followed.
---Eclipse bumped Marie's shoulder playfully. Ooof! Hey, watch it! Marie said, as she playfully pushed at his neck. Eclipse bumped her again, this time knocking her over. He pulled back his upper lip in a wide grin, and nickered. Alright, that's it! Marie laughed as she got to her feet. She threw herself forward, running into his shoulder. Eclipse stumbled to the side, before dramatically falling on his side. Marie laughed again, and he got up a few seconds later. The walked through the pasture side by side.

Show Name: Run Till Your Heart Bursts
Barn Name: Forward
Capture Story: Forward and his band galloped over the rolling hills of grass with a triumphant feeling. They had just had a newborn foal and the herd was thriving once again. The clouds quietly started to turn to a ominous gray and the horses suddenly sensed a new presence. Forward signaled to his herd to go far towards the highlands and that he would soon be there after he led the intruders far from his herd. He looked as his mate and their foal with a longing and promising look, he nuzzled them a silent goodbye and looked towards the hills of which he could sense the wranglers. He trotted towards the hills and watched as their horses ears perked up and the riders looked up with a smile. There was a young girl who looked to be about sixteen and a boy who looked to be around seventeen, with them were two grown men and a golden border collie. The young girl looked at him with eyes of wonder and slowly moved to whisper to the boy, "Jake, look at him... Isn't he beautiful?" She asked and sighed when he responded with, "Yea, he'd look even better on the ranch." She couldn't help but think about how little the boy appreciated in the wild. All the sudden the stallion trotted away and the boys proceeded to follow him, the young girl soon had her horse gallop after them. The horses were suddenly racing towards the stallion bending and turning with him, the girl watched as the boys one by one tried to catch him. She shook her head as she watched them fail and watched the stallion's patterns quietly. She moved her mare close to Jake's stallion and told him to throw the lasso towards the stallion, though at first the boy was indecisive but he decided to give it a try. He tossed the rope towards the stallions neck and watched quietly as the girl tossed it in the opposite direction and smiled softly as her lasso slipped around his head and down his neck. As other ropes followed and eventually there was a makeshift halter and neck rope was fashioned around him and he was brought to their ranch. The girl named him Forward because she felt it was right and gave him a show name of Run Till Your Heart Bursts. Soon, workers and others on the ranch would catch her training him and working him at his pace.
