He snorted fiercely and whipped his tail around to catch Moonstorm across the face. "Take a mate, how dare you." He aimed a sharp kick at the stallion's shins, just hard enough to hurt but not to injure.
Moonstorm sidestepped missing the tail and the hoof completely and biting the stallion sharply on the neck. After that he stepped back, not wanting a fight. "Respect your elders" he said. " You may be leader, but I am part of this herd now whether you like it or not and there is nothing you can do about it." he said eyes blazing. " he stepped close to the stallion" never underestimated me" he said before galloping away to find Golden. He had seen the metal horse shoes. He was in truth much stronger and more experienced than Dappledsnow. He had been trained to rear and jump in the air in Lippiza and his back legs were extremely powerful. They could kick hard and fast, leaving a ghastly wound. He looked around for Golden.
Dappledsnow snarled. The stallion's teeth hadn't even made contact: his lips had only brushed his coat. Still, he was furious. Such a stallion should not be allowed here. Such a stallion should be dead. The Appaloosa's eyes nearly turned red with fury. This stallion would die.
Dappledsnow knew that the stallion was mistaken. He'd spent years practicing, years killing. He'd outrun and then killed cougars. He had knocked black bears out cold. He'd demonstrated his skills doing impossible flips, rears, lunges, and jumps. He had killed all but one stallion he'd set his mind to murder.
