I wanted freedom.
Herd life had been okay, but after awhile I wanted to escape. Boss mare was being a total beotch to me. And all the other stallions tried, and failed, to gain my attention.
I was sick of herd life.
Three days after I was caught the cowboys took down the fence and began driving us to their ranch.
Naturally I had tried to escape, but the cowboys were wise to my ways. They kept me in line. I'd go to a different side of the herd with the same results. I'd go to the back, hoping to get left behind. But a young stallion would come back and bite my flank until I rejoined the herd. Then I tried to go to the front. I easily kept up with the fast pace. I could go much faster and longer. So I bided my time.
So now here I was, waiting for my chance. Then, when I saw it. An opening! I leapt forwards and shot past the front cowboys and horses and ran. Shouts rang out and three cowboys thundered after me. I screamed in defiance and ran faster. My hooves beat their pattern on the Earth. Then a rope flew past my neck! I swerved, right into a cowboy. He dropped a rope around my neck and I screamed again. I lunged forwards, almost dragging the rope from his hands.
Then another cowboys leapt in front of me. I sat back on my hindquarters and reared. Who was he to stop me from my freedom. I glared murderously at him. Daring him to look up and meet my challenge. When he didn't, I screamed and reared.
Then he looked up at me. And my next challenging whistle died in my throat. And I dropped numbly to the ground. It was him.
