Sea ( the lead stallion)
Zeph ( The lead mare, Anemone’s mom)
Anemone ( The filly of Sea and Zeph)
Black ( The other stallion in the herd)
Annie ( A mare in the herd)
Dazzle ( A mare in the herd)                                                                                                          

Dark clouds fill the sky, all that the herd hears are loud booms. Then all of  a sudden rain comes pouring down, it gets very hot and they hear crackling!  The herd looks around and Sea sees a FIRE!   All the other horses jump the pasture fence, but Anemone can not jump the fence, she is too small and the fence is too big for her to jump. Zeph calls to her but she will not jump the fence.  Black jumps back over the fence to try to get her over but she refuses to go over the fence! The flames are coming closer!

********

The flames are at her heels! Anemone jumps! It is like she is frozen in time, she is half way over and she makes it! Sea starts to gallop off. Everyone follows but all of a sudden Anemone calls out HELP! You will have to wait to see what happens to Sea, Zeph, Anemone, Black, Annie, and Dazzle.
