The Heart of a Mustang

Born in the wilderness so wild and free . Colt to a stallion growing stronger each day. Protecting a herd is a big responsibility. Getting spooked by anything is the worst. Being chased by horses with strange creatures on their backs. They come and try to catch my herd but almost always they never catch one. For I have pride in my herd and all that I’ve done for them. Fighting other stallions to keep my herd is hard to do. For I share my land with the buffalo, deer,and this one thing has chased down two mustangs and its the cougar. As the days pass and I grow older I must find a mare. When she has her foal I will look and think of it as if noting happened. I will also have pride because a new link of the herd has been born. That is our herd instinct. Once I die a new leader will lead and a new legend will live on. Now that is a story from the heart of a mustang.
