Mitty - The horse story

[WooingWyandotte]

It's fiction, but has true things happen in it. Like Premarin, (not saying anything in here, but if you really want to know go on google

) and the fact that they are being shipped away to slaughter. It'll get better though, this is just the beginning.

Chapter 3

After about an hour of nervousness us horses were finally settling down in the truck. As we passed golden fields, snow-capped mountains, and always the endless stretch of pavement before us, I felt depressed, the blood on my forehead was clumping my hair together and I felt sticky. My rump was throbbing with pain, and my neck was tingling. Horrid! It hurt so bad I couldn't help but cry, I glanced over at the filly next to me - she was crying too! We locked gazes, it dawned on me I've never seen or noticed her before.
"Hello, I'm M-Mitty." My voice was a little shaky from crying.
"I-I ah, y-your crying too?" Her eyes were untrusting, but welling up with unknown sadness.
"Uh, why yes I was."
"Was that your home back there?"
"...Yes..." My throat felt tight.
"Oh."
Our strained conversation was interrupted by one of the other three horses crammed next to us.
"Leave her alone Hazel, she doesn't want to talk to you." A bay colt snorted with contempt.
Hazel cast her eyes down. "I-I'm sorry for bothering you Mitty."
I was embarassed at his rude interruption. "It's ok Hazel. What's wrong, mind telling me?"
"No...I-I'm tired."
"If you say so," I glanced over at the colt, I don't like him,
The rest of the day us horses jumped at every shimmy and buck the truck made. I was alert the whole time, never dozing or relaxing, I knew the others were as tense as me.




Night was fast approaching. The sky was boasting bright colors, saying goodnight. The waving fields of wheat looked like amber fire, streaking across the rolling hills. As the sun went down the night started it's lively performance, the crickets were soon chorusing, the loon singing, and the stars were just peeping their shy faces.
It was all suddenly disturbed with a "HEEEELP!"!
My blood ran cold. What was happening? It was then I noticed that the truck was turning into an industrial area. Screaming of horses echoed against the walls inside a large metal building. I was visibly shaking, the air smelled of blood and fear.
Then the truck backed up into a another paddock, far too small to hold all the horses in this truck. The rumbling of the motor stopped, as did the wood floors' vibrations.
Just then then, I felt the bolt unlock and the door opened! Fresh air! I jumped off the truck and into the paddock and cantered around. Followed by the others, we all nipped and kicked eachother nervously. But there was still danger, all of us horses stood stock still, listening to the deafening cries inside the metal building. The truck backed away from the gate and one of the men opened it and lassoed - quick as thinking a black filly!
She fought madly, twisting and kicking. Her foreleg hit the man in the stomach and his face went green.
"Go girl!" I whinnied.
Then several men came forward to help, making noises with their mouths. I shuddered, such horrible noises. I'm sure they are saying evil things.
They finally were able to pull her out of the paddock enough to shut the gate, then one of the men lost his grip on the rope, and without him the other men were losing their grip as well! The rope was dragged through their fingers and she galloped to through the actual slaughter house and came out with another horse!
They both saw the open gate that the truck went through upon arriving, and galloped through. The men were angry and their faces looked dark. They shut the gate and proceeded toward the paddock once more. Lassoed a colt and with much difficulty went into the metal building, out of which horriffic noises came out that I can't even describe. I never saw that colt again. Ten other foals were lead out into the building. I noticed Lune sniffing around the gate, wanting for any protective presence I went over to him and stood.
"Wh-what are you doing?" I inquired nervously, my eyes darting at the men.
"I think I've found a way out of here."

Chapter 4

"Where?" I was desperate to get out of here.
"Over here, see this break in the fence? It's a pretty large crack right here." He was speaking in quick low tones.
Lune swung around and gave it a swift kick it cracked, he then gave it another strong kick; which made it cracked more, and repeated the process several times. The paddock fence groaned, then crashed to the ground! Suddenly men were everywhere yelling and grabbing ropes, I was panicked. Horror! A lasso caught and tightened around my neck, pinching my whip wound, OUCH!
I then caught sight of Lunes coppery hindquarters running through the confusion!
"Lune!" I screamed shrilly.
He stopped dead in his tracks. Then wheeled and took started to run inmy direction, then turned his head, a man was winding a lasso not ten feet away!
He had a torn look on his face, then wheeled away from me towards the outer fence!
He looked back and sneered, his eyes triumphed with mockery, then cantered away!
Lune reached the border line fence and gathered momentum then gave a thunderous leap and he reached the other side safely and galloped away without a backwards glance!
I fought free from the man who lassoed me, he was scared out of his wits, so I knocked him down.
"NEEIGGGHH! LUNE you wicked horse!!" I yelled in rage, stamped and nearly missed another frightened man as I cantered past. "Agnes!" I searched through the confused industrial site.
I caught sight of her with five other horses! "Mitty!" She yelled they and all ran towards me.
"Agnes, we have to jump the fence, it's the only way we'll get outta here alive."
Me, Agnes and the five other horses rounded a corner neatly, then my only thought was faster, faster, come on Mitty! I can do this, faster, faster! With each stride my muscles flexed, gathering more impulsion till I was going at a thundering speed then, gathering my hindquarters under me and I leaped a leap of faith! For one glorious second I was flying in the air, the next I was landing on my forelegs on the other side!
Beside me was Agnes and the other five horses! They made it too! We all laughed and cantered through the crisp night towards freedom!
