private chat with you.
I stood in the entrance of the stable I didn't know what to do, I could run away and join another herd, I could let myself be caught or I could try to free them.... I have no idea what to do...
I heard Tally outside.I knew it was Tally because of all the noise she was making.I turned around and whinnied at her.<br />"Hey get me out!Get me out!"I yelled bucking and kicking the walls of my stall.The teenage boy showed up and somehow missed Tally's bucking hoofs.He came up to my stall with a bridle and saddle in hand.My eyes widened but he got another horse out from the stall beside me and saddled up.He then came back with a green halter.He opened my door with one hand out in front of him holding the halter.I let him slip it over me seeing his good intentions.He got a lead rope and cliped it to the halter on me.Then he got in the saddle of the other horse and rode out with the rope that held me tightly in his hand.
Ears were straining towards the trees when suddenly a thundering of hooves was heard. Head tilted to the side as Tally took a few more steps forwards curiously. Her curiosity quickly evaporated when the first cowboys appeared.<br /><br />Eyes wide Tally spun to run. A rope caught her ankle as eyes caught on her heard starting to retreat. No sound left her as anger took over and teeth snapped out as she kicked out at the cowboys that stayed behind to catch her.<br /><br />Lip was curled up at she snapped at them. Their horses spinning and squealing away from Tally before a rope caught around her neck. After moments more of snapping and kicking Tally stood shuddering and covered in sweat. "Finally." mumbled one of the men on horseback. That said they turned with Tally struggling in tow.<br /><br />Tally saw the others taken into a barn. Body shuddered with anger and exhaustion as she snapped out at anything that got withing reach. Green eyes followed the others. If they were together they could escape. As they approached the barn Tally felt her heart lift ever so slightly. Until they passed the barn. Shock numbed her as ropes chaffed her neck. Then her silence was broke as a hysterical squeal was loosed into the air. Back daggers flew into the air and clipped an unsuspecting cowboy in the head. He flew snapped backwards in the saddle as another kick was loosed before the others could help their buddy. <br /><br />Kick landed straight to the horse's chest and horse and cowboy went careening away from the angry sorrel paint. Eyes rolled with anger as teeth snapped and she lunged back and forth trying to get free. Before she could kick again they dragged her into a stall in a far barn. Quickly she was tied into a stall where she squealed with outrage. Teeth caught a cowboy's arm and he screamed and yelled colorful words at the unrelenting Tally. There would be no mercy for these cowboys. The though drifted through her head as she held tight to the cowboy's arms as his friends flailed around helplessly trying to figure out what to do.
The younger cowboy walked to Storm's stall and said "What's this?" The others didn't reply. He cut the ropes off of Storm and said "No more ropes." Storm was really relieved that the ropes were gone.
I was backed up into a musky dirty stall.The sounds of other horses filled the air.One of the cowboys can up and gave me a scratch on the head.He looked young younger than any of the other cowboys maybe a teenager.I tried to kick at him but the space was so small I could only stand there watching the boy outside my stall.He was knocked aside by a drunk cowboy.He carried a long whip like thing which might have been a whip.He looked me over and yelled to one of his parteners.<br />"Hey how much do you think we could make if we sold this one?"He asked.The other didn't reply.I bucked at him as best I could trying to get free but all he did was laugh.<br />"Hey we got ourselves a feisty little filly Mike."The cowboy sayed.I stopped and was almost to the point of tears.I turned my head away from them to look at the dirty wall of the stall.Then I heard whinnying.<i>Probably one of the other horses</i> I thought and went back to my miserable thoughts.
I walked into the stable and whinnied the cow boys laughed and jeered "oh look she's coming back for her boy friend!" I took a few steps back and charged forward and reared I felt ribs break up the impack of my hooves. My coat became sticky with blood. Not my blood the cow boy's blood.
Storm moved as much as he could be couldn't so many ropes. Stalls teribble places. All the cowboys were sittin' in the barn for feisty horses and having their usual hissy parties. "I can't believe we caught the leader." one said. The cowboys teased around with Storm. Storm whinnied angrily. One cowboy got into the stall and sat on top of Storm and yelled, "Who's a pretty pony!!!" Storm couldn't even move his back legs to buck, too many ropes.
Storm started to kick and buck at the jeering cowboys.<br />"What are you doing are you crazy!"I yelled.I ran after him and saw ropes around his neck I check to make sure Brook was out and ran after Storm.<br />"Well ain't she a pretty?"One of the cowboys said laughing.I reared and whinnyed trying to scare the horses the cowboys were on it didn't work but I contiuned to do it trying to keep the cowboys eyes locked on me so Storm could get away the herd needed the leader more than me.<br />"Ain't she a feisty one."another said.One lassoed a rope over my neck which sent me crazy.I reared and bucked harder sending the cowboy holding on to the rope flying.The laughing smiles on the rest of the men were gone.I bucked again and felt my hoof barely make contact with his jaw.Another lasso titened around my neck,by then I gave up my fight and got loaded up into thehorse trailer.
BLM is Bureau of Land Management They are the people arte resonisble for all the horse round ups. <br /><br />Later that night....<br /><br />I found my way to the ranch, I softly nickered to Storm to get his attention.
Storm made a sharp turn veeering towards Brook, "C'mon go go go"!! Storm was next to Brook's rear end but he didn't care, he'd fight off them cowboys even if it meant being roped. Storm reared on his hind legs, and gave a angry snort. "Look at that FREAK one" said a cowboy.<br />"Let's catch him" said another. Storm charging but he charged just at the wrong time. A rope went right aroubd his neck. The cowboys cheered. "I think we captured the leader said one. <br />"Lets take him to BLM said another. Two more man threw their ropes over him, two on the one in front. Storm didn't want to be rounded up. Storm fought against the cowboys. Then one cowboy called BLM. (don't know what it means asummoning a man) He showed up in a few minutes with a horse trailer. They pushed Storm into the horse trailer and celebrated. Storm was taken to the ranch. And then shoved into a horse box. He was tied with tons and tons of ropes put on him to keep him from escaping each tied someplace close but different.
