The sun shone through the leaves of the forest and a breeze made the branches sigh as they brushed against each other. A creek babbled and splashed happily as the quiet sounds of nature filled the sensitive ears of a young mare who walked serenely along the creek. Her white coat and cream colored mane shone in the light so the mare almost glowed. She walked with her head carried high, an unnatural traveling position for a horse, the mare radiated confidence, pride, and strength as she made her way along the water to her hiding place to stay until nightfall.
