Here's the first in The Vengeful Valentine's Event.
This Is Alvin. He's Anxious. Extremely So. Poor Boy just is skittish and flighty all the time, and not just around humans. He's actually worse around Mares than he is around his handlers. Makes his Job as a stud a bit difficult. And his owner is simply so frustrated with him that he's giving him up for adoption.

Tell me about his most anxious moment: (No more than 1000 words, no less than 300.)
Alvin was always skittish an anxious, ever since he was born. The most anxious moment though for him was probably riding in the trailer to his new home. Alvin was out grazing when his owner had come out to get him. He clipped the halter onto the large horse after he shied away multiple times. He led him out of the pasture and towards a large silver trailer that was hooked up to a red truck. The stallion immediately spooked and started dancing around on his hooves after being led off towards the trailer. He whinnied and squealed, wanting to get away but his owner and handlers kept him from doing so. He managed to run off for a while but they ended up catching the skittish boy after a while of playing cat and mouse. Once they caught him, the poor boy was taken back to that horrifying trailer. The boy had to be pulled into the trailer and soon enough, he went crazy and kicked. He wanted out and no one was giving him that freedom. He kept nipping at the walls and kicking out his hind hooves as the trailer moved down the road. He whinnied and hollered anxiously from the tiny space. It wasn't until he had arrived at the new stable that he went even crazier. He spooked at all the new horses whinnying out at him as his new handler took him down to his new stall. The poor boy shied away from everything and just couldn't find anything to lower his anxiousness. It wasn't until his new owner came down to see what was the matter with him. She calmed him down despite his skittishness. The young girl cooed to him softly and gained his trust, trying her best to not spook him. Eventually he calmed down but that day still haunts him and he never wants to go near another trailer again.

Tell me about his most anxious moment: This young stallion has been quite skittish since extremely young, and even when he was a colt he had a hard time of dealing with the fillies, and even other colts. His mother was really the only one which he could be himself and be playful and crazy round. And then there was the day that he turned seven and a half years old...The handler came into the ring where he was being worked by a happy young lady, telling her to go and he again tried to handle him. That had been his daughter running the stallion, and even though he was anxious and would lunge sideways, she would keep up the attempts at getting him to do as she wanted him to. The handler finally got so fed up, he took the lunge line off after re putting the halter and lead rope on, and all but dragged the poor horse over to the trailer. He started driving until they arrived to the Cottonwood. He told them they could have the "nuisance, I am done with him" and walked off. But this was nor his most anxious moment, oh no, not at all...
This handsome stallion's most anxious moment actually happened to be when he met the mare Joy...Lovely she was, yet because he was so anxious he splayed his ears back and took as many steps back away from the mare as he could get. Of course, this was not made easy by the two young ladies that held his lead. You see, their father was in charge of one of the barns at the Riverbend, which was where Joy was kept, and there had been given permission to attempt at breeding him to Joy. They wanted her comfortable, and since Riverbend was relatively quiet they figured it would help the nervous stallion too...No such luck there however. The one girl had sighed and pulled the lead away from her sister, and she whispered some things to the stallion. She sighed as she said "Let's try again tomorrow..." and they took the stallion back to the barn. The next day, they managed to actually get him over to the mare and he got up and did his thing. They are still waiting to see if she took, if there is a foal in the future.

No idea the length of what I wrote, I have been having wb so don't penalize me)
