Roughie stood along the edge of her plateau overlooking the ocean. She loved being up high and feeling the salty ocean breeze as it blew her mane and tail wild.
Today's the day...
She thought with a sigh and a shake of her large head. She had heard that a new stallion had taken over the Platou herd and was excited and worried all at once. She was, after all, lead mare and if the new guy didn't like her she would be replaced. Roughie didn't know what she'd do without her leadership, her high rank meant everything to her. With her position came responsibility, courage, pride, friendship and support; all of which she didn't have until she was chosen as lead mare of the Platous. If the herd was taken from her she'd lose all that and more.
Today I meet the new Stallion, Taskin.
She mused to herself with a longing look in her eyes. The lightly dappled grey mare knew that today would be one of the most important first impressions she'd ever have to make. She'd have to show Taskin that she would comply with his wishes but wouldn't let him walk all over her. She had to show her own dominance but submit at the same time...
I never knew it would be this complicated.
Roughie mumbled under her breath. Rolling her eyes and blowing her long forelock out of her eyes, the mare turned and started off toward where she'd meet Taskin, the stallion who held her entire future on his shoulders.
