Pride

Pride trotted into the area and stood there, overwhelmed by the amount of horses their. His black and white paint bodice stood out, and his mane flowed gently in the cold breeze. He snorted and began to graze, his ears twitching about, hearing anything and everything. Except, maybe humans.

*Humans*

A truck had been parked on a low hill, obscured by some dense vegetation there. The humans from the Horse Sanctuary were in need of animals to stock their facility, and they knew that this place usually had quite a few horses roaming in it. And today seemed to be their lucky day, for they spotted Pride very quickly.

Carefully loading a dart into their gun, they aimed and fired at Pride's flank, hoping to make a direct hit. It was a sedative especially made for equines, and quite powerful at that.

Pride

Pride swung his head up. His ears swiveled about, listening. And then, pow! Something went into his rump. He whinnied loudly and reared, his eyes full of fear. He started to gallop off, but his entire back was numb. He whinned and collapsed on the ground. Soon his entire body was numb, and then, he was out. His body lay on the grass as his belly slowly went up and down.

*Humans*

They waited, hiding until Pride fell. Then they went to work quickly, driving their truck to him. Working quick, the properly secured his hooves to wench that was built into the back of the truck. Slowly cranking the wench, they slid Pride onto a tarp, and then up a ramp into the back of the truck. The bed of the truck was longer than most, and built to hold larger creatures like horses.

Once Pride was inside, one human sat in the back with him while the truck was driven to the Main Office at the Galloping Hooves Horse Sanctuary.
