First month of Spring.

Abby looked at Anntia and smiled, happy to see Anntia again. "Where's your horn gone?", Abby whispered to Anntia making sure no people could hear.

I shake myself in the meadow galloping around acting all hyper and naughty like I normally do. I hope that tall girl's not coming to get me, Forest thought as she stood still and motionless in wonder, She'd better not if she wants to get out this pasture alive. While I am wondering she slips a halter over my mouth and gives me a treat so I will allow her to fasten it. I defiantly refuse to go forwards and follow but when I painfully feel the pressure from the pressure halter I speedily follow down to the Round Pen. The girl is very tall and looks about 17 with bleached blonde hair and a very kind smile. I find her name is Carsile.

"Eh, don't really know, Abby. Maybe I lost it because a Unicorn with a bunch of other horses would look, different. I barely even notice the fact that I don't have a horn anymore, " Anntia whispered back equally quiet. "I'm happy to see you too again Abby," Anntia smiled. Anntia nibbled on the grass for a second and looked up. She wondered why that man was here, and why he was looked at Dark. So strange, Anntia thought. Anntia notices Forest and watches the girl named Carsile lead Forest away. Anntia snorted and cantered around the pasture.

I gallop back into the pasture at a flat out gallop. I turn around to see Carsile smiling at me as she looks over the fence at me. I hear her say to the man, "It's so nice to she Forest running wild, Dad.." I then trot over to the others and start to talk to them.

"How did your lesson go in the round pen Forest?" Anntia asked. She looked at the girl Carsile and said, "I'm guessing your lesson went well," Anntia tail swished from side to side as she stood still, then walked towards Carsile and the man. She stretched her neck over the wooden fence, her gaze focused on the man.

Anntia looked around the pasture since she soon got bored watching the man. There wasn't that many trees in the west pasture. Anntia galloped off until she grew tired, then she stopped next to Spirit, Abby, and Holly.

After a while of watching the horses, Dark in particular, then guy walked away and vanished into the stables office. Dark just stood there, staring.

Anntia trotted up next to Dark. " Dark, what do you think that man was here for?that girl Carsile is his daughter, but I'm not sure. Carsile seemed interested in Forest, and the man seemed interest in you, Dark. I hope that man doesn't pick me, if that's even what he's here for," Anntia wondered if the man wanted to buy any of the horses, and if he chose Dark he would be in for a fight. Anntia wondered what Holly would best at. Emily had said Holly was a fast runner like Abby, Spirit would be a trail horse, Anntia hopefully would be a cross country horse because Emily said Anntia had looked like she showed a lot of promise, and Forest would be in show jumping.

Abby said to Anntia, "I hope he doesn't pick me either, he looks a very suspicious to me.."

Spirit turned her head to a side and said, "Hi Anntia". Spirit then looked back at Abby and said, "Don't worry Abby, Emily wouldn't give you up without a big fight. She thinks your an amazingly great galloper and Anntia, She wouldn't give you up without a big fight. She thinks your an amazing Cross-Country horse. Holly, If you are worried, Emily wouldn't give you up either. She thinks your a good little galloper too!" Spirit smiled at the others but then said, "But Dark, He's only got himself and us other horses to try and fight him.. He would be the easiest target for the man." After a few seconds of thinking Spirit says, "Well, The best thing to do is to get him hidden into the Wash Rack so that the man will not find and keep him there until the man has gone. Abby and Holly you get Dark totally absolutely covered from head to hoof in thick mud. Forest, You are an amazing show jumper according to Carsile so you jump the gate and make sure you know where on the farm Dark is - and remember. Come back as soon as you know. I will get Emily to bath Dark."

After taking Emily to the Wash Rack, Emily leads Spirit back to the pasture.

"Dark's covered in mud now!!!", Holly said smiling.

I come back into the pasture led by Carsile, "I'm back. I've took Dark to be bathed in the Wash Rack!" I gallop back into the pasture and run over to where Abby, Holly, Spirit and Anntia are stood.

Abby stands in the pasture wondering where Sanya had got to. Since all the horses had gone from being in the wild herds to living at Horse Lord Stables neither Angel or Sanya had been seen.

"Nutti, Naughtykat, snaperdoodleyay or Sassy haven't been seen since we came to these new stables", Spirit said, "I like this new farm that we live at." Spirit enjoys all the horses living together in peace rather than in several different herds. "Where is WildFire? He's not been seen for a long, long time..", Spirit then spoke with a sound of fear in her voice.

Abby neighed loudly. Emily was coming towards her with a halter and leading rope in her hand. Emily reached out to pat her other three horses, Holly, Anntia and Spirit, but then slipped the halter over Abby's head and lead her to the round pen. As Emily took Abby she told Abby, "If your going to be a good galloper your going to have to practice galloping a lot, very often."

Spirit watches for Abby coming back very carefully to make sure she comes to no harm from the suspicious looking man. She would hate for any of the horses to get hurt.

As Abby was led to the Pasture, she began to pull hard on the lead rope to get back into the pasture with all of her friends. Emily pulled hard to stop Abby and then looked up into the sky where she saw lightning clouds. Emily called across the farm, "Carsile, I'm bringing my horses in. I suggest you bring yours in too!" Emily turned around with Abby and led her to the stalls.

Spirit saw Emily coming into the pasture with a halter in her hand ready to take another of her horses into the stall. Emily slipped the halter over Spirit's head and set off at a run with her towards the stalls. "The storm will be here in 5 minutes, Carsile, Get your horses in the stall quickly and bring my Holly if you are finished with getting Forest in a stall before I get Spirit in."

In fear Holly waits for Emily to come to collect her and Anntia. She gallops towards the gate to make being took in a quicker and easier task for Emily to do.

Holly sees Emily coming to take her out of the pasture at last. Emily quickly slips a halter over Anntia and one over Holly so they could go into the stalls. "If Carsile doesn't collect you, Forest, I'll be back to put you in your stall.", Emily said running with her own two horses up to the stalls at a speed.

I look up to the sky to see the storm about to begin and then straight ahead to the gate where I manage to see Carsile. I gallop towards her and stop right in front of her allowing her to put a head collar onto me and lead me into the stalls.

dark decided to leave the spot he was in to start grazing, all the while keeping an eye on the office. He didnt think he had a daughter. He looked far too young. Maybe 20 or 21. Dark could hear thunder in the distance. Rain, he could use that right about know. The mud was starting to feel uncomfortable clumping together his hair and occasionally pulling some out.

Abby broke into the pasture and bravely said, "Dark there will be a thunder storm in a few minutes, You must get inside in a stall." Abby galloped back to her stall hoping that Dark will follow.

Anntia willingly let Emily lead her into the stalls, the storm was approaching faster every second.
