Cheval de I'or

The golden horse trotted quickly into the open barn, watching for any mares who might reside here. He moved along the stalls, seeing a big chestnut stallion, he snorted, aiming a kick at the stall, he heard the crack of wood, but the door held, he looked around for females.

Nass, & *Horses*

Nass gave a shrill neigh as his stall was kicked and reared up, pasting his ears back. His fangs were bared angrily, snapping at the other stallion, but he was now at of reach, "If I were out of my stall, you'd be in trouble! Just what are you doing in here, anyway?" he demanded, tossing his head.

Within the stalls were a few other horses, most belonging to friends that needed their horses looked after while they were away. Three of them were mares. The first one was pure Trakehner, with a black-brown coat. On her muzzle was a splash of tan and overlapping white. She was 16.1 hands.

In the next stall was a Racking Horse, with a tail so long it brushed the ground. Her coat was coal black, and her features were stunning and elegant. She was very prized by her owner.

The last was a mix Noric and unknown blood. Her coat was pale, misty gray. Tufts of black hair lined the ends of her legs, giving her some diffinition. All three watched the stallion, clearly interested in him.

"Ah would I, well isn't clear, that your in there and I'm out here, and soon these lovely ladies will be out here with me. Now ladies will you be so kind to follow me to my lands where you will be free to do as you please, and live in a wonderful, safe place, with other mares I shall get, it will be very nice, and peaceful. I am strong and will protect you, you will never need worry about a thing, as I have a lake, and a island in my lands, with great grazing in spring and summer, where you, and any young friends you may have will be well fed, the rest of my lands contain nice food for the rest of the year, life is easy and pleasant, plenty of time for games and fun, it's very nice there today,"

He pranced up to the stalls, "would you like to come and live as you please, or serve humans, working hard each day till they send you away to your death because of some silly mistake, or you are to old to work hard anymore, not that any of you beauties are anywhere near that age, nor will be for many years. now lovely ladies you may decide." He pranced up the aisle, and looked in each stall, seeing no more mares, or so he thought returned. "I wouldn't want to leave one of your friends out" if he could he could he would smile. His muscular, 16.3 hand, golden body shone in the dusty light, his long silver mane and tail glittered. A few scars marked his body, but were small, showing his worth as a leader. Handsome and strong he stood.

Nass & *Mares*

The mares all seemed much more intrigued and charmed by his speech and manner now. The Noric mare pawed anxiously at the stall door that held her in, "We would love to. It's too dark and stuff in here... to indignant to bear humans around!" she confessed tossing her head a bit for emphasize.

The other two nodded in agreement and the Racking Horse mare spoke forth next, "Indeed it is humiliating! Being beckoned around by small two-leggers and bayed to do things that make no sense. All for a bit of feed." They nodded in approval to this as well, and it was settled. The mare went on, dipping her ebony head down past her stall door. "There is a latch. It just needs lifted, but they place that blasted bar in our way so we can't reach it ourselves."

A latch held all of the doors closed, and it only needed to be pushed up for the stalls to swing open. A bar had been placed above each latch so that no horse within could reach it. Any on the outside however, could easily push the latch open.

Shimmer

Shimmer was wandering around the barn when she seen the stallion. She had nothing to do, and she really hadn't met the humans. But she still roamed here. She growled instantly at seeing the stallion. She raised her tail and wondered what he was doing here. "What are you doing here?" she barked out. It was more of a demanded question. She started barking again at the horse, not having heard the talk between them.

Cheval de I'or

"Ah yes m' ladies I would imagine it would be, we shall be leaving as soon as I can sort this last affair out, I won't be a moment." He trotted to the canine ears back a little. "Socializing in this here barn, I could ask you the same, if you plan on staying wild shut up, before the hounds come, they will bring humans." He turned, trotting quickly to the barn. He lifted each latch between his teeth, and knocked each door open a touch. He cantered up and down, gave a single rear at Nass. "I would let you lose, but you would steal these lovely ladies away from me, and hurt me for no reason. Plus you seem to worship the boy, so I shall not cheat these lovely lasses their freedom so you can get a carrot."

He turned to his ladies, and the canine, "if you would, we may proceed to my lands, Hidden oasis if you please my good friends, where we will converse later, you canine, howl and bark as loud as you can, do not worry, you can run in to the forest, and come to my lands if you so wish."

He whinnied to them, asking them to lead on, so his plan would become reality

Nass & Mares

Nass snorted, stamping his hoof, "He is my friend! And the pain I would cause you would come with good reason, I assure!" He reared and dashed his front limbs against the stall. It shook, but held out against the equine's temperous assault. Nass was just glad that Stable wasn't here at the moment; she was one of the Ranch's mares, and he was terribly fond of her.

The Trakehner mare took lead of the other two, trotting lightly in head of them. The Noric nickered to her ebony friend, the Racking Horse, who was last to get out of the stall. She shied past the canine, pulling her ears back and flagging her tail slightly in alarm. She hadn't the best experiences with canines.

"To live in the wild." The Noric murmured, looking from Cheval de I'or to the other two mares, "We are eternally greatful for what you have done for us." So saying, the three headed for the terra, eager to start a free life.

Shimmer

Shimmer snorted and shook her head. "I am not a wild canine for your information." she said angrily. She lashed her fangs out at the stallion, growling, bristled fur, and bared teeth were what was given to the stallion. Shimmer just dared the Racking Horse to make one wrong move or the mare wouldn't like what she would see. She lowered her body, not caring of the warnings the mare sent her. Her ears laid back, she watched the wierd stallion with big eyes full of hatred.

Cheval de I'or

The big gold horse watched the dog, and it's threatening moves, he reared up high, hooves failing above it's head. "You try it girl."

Shimmer

Shimmer snarled and lowered her body more. "Show off." she angrily barked out. She quickly whirled around in a complete circle and bit at the stallion's legs. What a foolish animal. No wild horse would just walk into a barn, and ask for another of it's kind. Plain wierd.

Cheval de I'or

The dogs hit his hock, his squealed angrily, ears pinned back, he reared up and dived at the dog, squealing furiously, he hoped to hit the dog with his sharp hooves. His small wound bleed a little, he squealed more, trying to bite the dog, then kicked out with his hind legs, his muscles rippled through his golden coat, he laughed. "I wasn't even trying." He reared again, then crashed down, prancing for a moment on the spot. Then he jumped in the air, in a perfect arch, then bucked halfway, his muscles relaxed still. He laughed a bit more "Come on little puppy doggy, bite me." He galloped in circles round the dog. he bucked every so often.

Becca

She moved like a dead dog. Swift and silent. She appeared infront of the three mares. " Back in your stalls. Its more dangerous in the wild then it is here. Your owners love you and they wouldn't put oyu down but htey would give you a good life. In the wild there is forcebreeding, traps, wolves, wild wolves who would kill you just for the fun of it. Here you are safer." She seemed to dissapear into the shadows again and she lunged out under the stallion ipping at his belly sharply. "GET OFF MY LAND! STAY AWAY FROM MY STOCKS!"
