i felt so energetic running around and rearing every now and then slamming me feet down spraying gravel at the others but one mare had enough and came over angry at me "Stop That!" she yelled "what are you going to do about it hmm" i snickered she pinned her ears back bit herself hard on her own side till it drew blood then let out a loud ear piercing neigh the wranglers ran in with a halter and rope thinking i did it "NOW I WILL HURT YOU!" i yelled charging at her biting anywhere i could get my teeth he perfect white coat turned a bit red they threw a rope around my muzzle clamping it shut my nostrils flared they tied me to a pole and went to call my so called owners i could hear yelling "SHE IS OUT OF CONTROL IF NONE TRAIN HER SHE LEAVES" there was stomping till i saw the manager come out i swear steam came out his ears but when he came in the pen and walked towards me he raised his hand and hit me hard on the side but right the moment his hand made contact with my flank something in me snapped my temper rose quickly my ears pinned back energy flowed to my legs and the urge to kill him desired me i smelt his fear as i snapped the ropes, i ripped around then reared my leg knocked his head making him fall to the ground my feet wanted to drive into his skull then pound his useless body but i knew that if i did this no human would ever have respect for me again not even the nicest so my feet came down with a thud not hitting his pathetic body my sides heaved as i breathed quite heavily and fast the men where staring at me shocked that i had spared his life but this was a stroke of luck from now on i will show no mercy i walked away from him getting some air but a rope went around my neck then my feet a sack over my mouth as well "the owners said they don't want her anymore she can be thrown into auction or slaughter" a man said coming out with a phone "Slaughter!" the manager yelled as he held a ice pack to his head "wait what about this" a man holding a rope said as he rubbed my flank "its a shame such fine things have to go to waste" the manager fake cried they started loading me into a truck that had old stallions and some injured some dead with horrific damage because they did it wrong one had a crushed skull when i realized that white mare was in here as well the owners did not want her because she had bad bite wounds that would take a while to heal "STOP!" i heard a lady yell "Boss!?" i could hear the manager say worried "what are you doing shipping them off to the glue factory they are perfectly fine well not the dead ones" she said angry they unloaded the ones that where live but i was the last one she got up in the truck and slowly walked over to me "had a tough time girl i'm sorry" she said softly and led me out of the truck the rest where taken to be buried and the truck drove away the lady walked me to a room where she brushed me down and washed me over clipping my mane and brushing my tail "we wont send her to slaughter, i know a guy who would want her for hunting and catching horses" she smiled and got her phone out calling someone then leaving to talk to him a few minutes later came back "i found a home for you" she smiled and led me out got me in a trailer then we left the trip was very bumpy shaking the trailer i could hear water splashing and the tires going through mud before we stopped. she got me out and a young man wearing long pants and a short sleeve top came over "So this is her, well she is one fine horse but can she do the work?" he asked "well that's for you to find out" she chuckled "well me and the crew where going to get those Mustangs down south maybe i can test her then" he smiled then got me saddles in western tack "she even looks nice in it" she chuckled "not comfy though" i complained biting at the saddle before we headed down south the others got on their horses and we cantered away he was a tiny bit rough with the reins when i didn't listen. we spotted some stallions ahead grazing peacefully but he threw me into a gallop heading for the largest one while others got the rest he was trying to throw a rope around his neck the saddle was very uncomfortable rubbing against my girth but i could feel it slipping he mustn't have made it tight enough so i made sure i moved around enough then sure enough the saddle was slipping faster and faster "SHIT!"i heard him yell as the saddle slid off and i kicked it off my legs he was gripping to my back for his life "Stop!" he yelled at me tugging on the reins which only made me wilder he sat up a bit and grabbed the reins pulling them down meaning my head was forced down i couldn't see where i was going so i skidded to a halt the other people and horses where laughing their heads off at us well more at me he let my head go and got off yanking me forward i swore i could see my family in the distance. i am so tired thirsty and hungry but they made me continue to walk to the stables without a reed of grass to eat or a drop of water to drink "dude you should just dump her out here she's buggered and look at her she is no suite for catching horses man just leave her here" the man in front of me chuckled my head hung low as we continued through the scorching hot sand it is now the middle of day the hottest part about forty degrees hot as hell and my body has had enough so i stopped and dropped to the ground they turned to look at me he kneeled down to my level then took the bridal off me gave me a pat and got to his feet "i guess some horses are not cut for the heat" he frowned and they started walking away the other horses seemed fine with the heat but i could not stand it my stomach growled for food and my tounge felt like a desert without water i looked to my bigger stomach "i'm sorry i cant do you any good" i cried to the poor living thing inside me if i died it would too i may not have wanted it but now i have it i must survive with it, i tried my best to get up but my legs felt like led i have gone through a long journey and i wont give up now! i said over and over in my head as i tried again this time my body heaved to the ground no use i lay there the only movement i made was my chest rising and falling i munched at the reeds of grass that stand near my head when i heard horses running i knew this was my only chance so i whinnied as loud as my dry throat could thankfully the sound changed to coming towards me a shadow appeared in front of me i looked up and it was the stallion that the human tried to make me catch "what happened to you?" he asked as he let his head down to my level there was others turned out he was the lead stallion of a huge herd his lead mare was heavily in foal and had a yearling next to her "the humans left me here to die" i replied he pushed at my back helping me to my feet as i tried to stand i was finally on my feet "come with us" she said as she came down the steep hill i went with it and joined them.
