A Horses Life
chapter one
The begining
I remember the day I was born. In the beautiful snow filled mountans of Wyoming. I could smell the sweet sent of flowers who had just bloomed. The only thing that I don’t remember is my mother. She was killed by mountan lions right after I was born. I still remember the Mountan lions faces very clearly and I have seen them since. The male leader of my herd is Zaskar. He is a huge pure black horse with a big scar accross his face. Every one of us in the herd can tell him anywere. The head female of the group was Donny. She is a white and black horse. She looks like any other horse but you can tell here any where because of her horrible temper. “Don’t do this” “stop that” “get away from me”. That seems to be all she ever said. None of us got and ever will get how Zaskar put up with here. As for me I am a tan horse with a long white mane and tail. I have many scars from numerous experiences. My name is Forest. This is because my herd found me laying down not knowing what to do in a small forest. That is one
of the places I remember most. I was tangeled up in thorn bushes and limbes from trees. Then they found me. Cut from the thorns, I took my first steps. I tumbeled to the ground as soon as I got up. Donny reasured me it was normal. I have not seen that soft side of her ever sence. Many other bad things would happen to me after that. After they found me they told me what had happened to my mother (which I already knew but listened to anyway). I didn’t really get it when I was young but as I got older I realized that I would never see my mother again. The only thing I remember about her is her face. I think it was brown with a little black spot on it. That is all I have left of her. I also remember what one of the mountan lions looked like. One time I came face to face with him. When I was about two months old he came to our herd to try to catch a meal. I later learned that he was one of the herds biggest threats. He would always come to our herd to hunt. Most of the time he would get scared of by Zaskar but one time he came after me.
