Standing just besides the water’s edge the golden stallion lifted his head, watching a cascade of water rain down into the clear lake before him. Such an interesting place, this field, full of lush grasses and fragrant flowers. Stepping forward into the chilled lake, Tiago bobbed his head in delight while his cream mane bounced off his neck. Finally, a place to himself.
While most stallions preferred getting acquainted with the visiting mares, the naive stallion knew little about courtship- nor did he wish to know. With a one track mind, it was hard to focus on one thing unless it involved the investigation of new land such as this field where many had come to graze and rest. Waiting up to his knees, he pawed at the surface splattering water against his warm sides to cool himself from the radiant beams of warmth. Tiago snorted, pleased to have found such a refreshing hideaway as he paused momentarily, tasting the cool water as it soothed a dry itch as the back of his throat.
It was dangerous to be this carefree-and alone, but having not suffered any consequences from being so.. un-sensible, he didn’t see what the problem was. After tromping through the shallow pool, the stallion returned to the lush embankment to graze although he soon strayed from his original intentions when he detected the sounds of a soft whicker. In reply he let out a hearty nicker, tossing his head up with a small rear onto his hind quarters. Perhaps here, he would find a friend of sorts. Some one to explore, or even spend the day with. Listening for a moment, he lowered his head and stole a few bites of lush grass before raising his head again, his forelock falling over his eyes as his ears perked forward, anticipating the next response.

It's all part of the experience.
