She whimpered softly. Julie ran her hand over the mare's belly and something in the mare's mind snapped. She'd take a thousand beatings before her foal got hurt, and she was afraid Julie would hurt her foal, especially when she felt the foal kick, hard. She kicked out, hitting Julie in the leg. Julie frowned and took a few steps back.
The mare looked at Julie, shocked. "Sorry" she whimpered, her eyes wide. "I didn't mean to" Julie walked towards her and the mare prepared herself for a beating worse than any other. She'd hurt a human. She pressed her head against Chipper, not watching Julie and stood there, shivering.
