It was a brisk cold morning as the soldiers rushed into the stables to one of the mares stall, the soldiers watched amazed as a little foal was born. Commander Zachary walked in slowly and checked the gender of the horse "Its a filly!"he said as they all cheered as the mare was a chestnut with a star like marking on her forehead"Commander I know what we could call her?" a guy named Matthew answered as Commander Zachary looked up with a nod"I think the name Maya sounds good" he answered as the Commander nodded"I like it, this filly will be named Maya" Commander Zachary answered as Matthew beamed and smiled. Maya gave a little nicker as she tried to stand up. She stood up on wabbley legs as they chuckled as the mare named Senita nuzzled her foal as Maya suckled and she looked at the soldiers and flicked her small tail as she walked over to the men as she almost tripped. Matthew came in with a smile as he looked at the filly. She was stunning, she looked at at Matthew and walked closer as Senita watched them closely as she nickered the Maya and the filly turned to go to her mother as she dropped down and laid there as she closed her eyes to take a nap. As Senita then laid next to the filly and soon fell asleep with her.
It was a warm morning as Maya trotted around with her long springy legs next to her mother. Senita snorted and came to a stop as Maya kept trotting she looked back to see her mother as she turned as she trotted back to her mothers side as Matthew chuckled and the filly looked at him and she got curious as she trotted to the fence and Matthew went to pet Maya as Senita then came charging at the gate and reared, she was protective of her foal and this was her first ever foal. Matthew sighed "Easy Senita, I won't hurt you guys" he answered as he went to pet Senita as she let him. He stroked her velvet nose as she then snorted as she moved from her filly allowing Matthew to pet her. A Matthew climbed over the fence and sat down on the grass as the filly came over and she walked over to his lap and she tucked her legs in as she placed her head on Matthews lap and laid there closing her eyes as Matthew gently patted the young filly, she would make a good war horse.
Maya snorted as the 3 month old filly trotted around with her mother. Senita then left her foal alone as she grazed. Matthew looked at the filly, she was getting bigger each month. Maya then stopped and looked at Matthew as she trotted away as she bucked up her back heels. Matthew chuckled as he watched the filly. Senita snorted turning her full attention on her foal. She snorted and gave a neigh as Maya neighed back and she whinnied again and Maya trotted over to her mother and she stayed and looked a her mother.
