The spotted mare had been around for a while, but never out like this. She has always kept to herself and never wanted to be part of a herd. But things can change and so can the mind. She watched a mother and foal play together one day and sometimes had hit her that she wanted that too. She giggled at herself for thinking such silly things though... she was just over 8 years old, not exactly 'young' anymore, or so she thought. She still felt young at heart and chased the thought of being 'old' out of her head.
She had heard about this quaint little place where mares go to be 'claimed' but the thought of being owned by someone just didn't settle with her right. She would agree to live with a stallion, but she would never be owned by one. She stomped her foot a little harder at that thought. Ari was a little stubborn like that and she chuckled at the thought of any stallion trying to own her. She would run this game... she would be the one to choose who she went home with. Not them.
She continued her way around, avoiding the different groups of mares around her. It seemed busy in this part of the land. The different conversations going on made her laugh and made her worry. She stopped to grab a bit of grass. It was nice and she enjoyed it. Then her mind started to wonder again. Maybe no stallion would want her and she could just leave and continue to be on her own forever.
