The scout leader cantered through the dry grass to the beautiful home they returned to every year. He was making sure no one was on the path, for that was the dark bay and white horse's job. He watched over the Herd, and loved running. Shamrock turned his dark brown eyes on his fellow scouts before cantering forwards.
Midnight snorted, urging the Yearlings onwards. Her black fur shone, and her eyes were shy. The average horse, the Mare Lieutenant, was anything but average.
Norman trotted few steps before swatting a fly of his scruffy dappled 'gray' fur with his gray tail. The scout snorted and kept walking. |

the dappled gray trotted at the head of the herd, her face void of emotion. best not to show any of that while they were making their summer home. she couldn't help but smile a little at the sight of the spot. she was rather fond of it.
watermelon was trotting behind the scout leader, having fun. he would catch up so he was about an inch from his butt and stop abruptly to hold up some sort of traffic jam. she found the grunts and murmurs of annoyance quite pleasing.

He snorted happily then turned to them "We should report back," he called. The dark bat started cantering back, and was 3/4of the way to the herd before he saw them. At least ten large, tan, cougars. "Run!" Shamrock neighed in a panic as he kicked one in the face. It snapped at his leg but he was already galloping towards the herd, trying to take the long way to get them off his path.

Shamy was breathless by the time he reached Basil. "Cougars," he said weakly.
Midnight looked over in alarm.

she nodded and turned to midnight, speaking quickly. "take the foals and head back fast as possible. find somewhere safe so we can deal with these scoundrels. send the fighters with me. i'm going to go check it out. I want to see what danger lies ther so I can figure out what to do." she told her lieutenant with a quick nod.

Midnight nodded. "You," she said, gesturing to half the fighters, "Take the others and run. There are cougars. The rest of you, stay and fight!"
Norman nodded and herded the foals backwards.

Casino galloped over to his mentor. "What do you want me to do?" he asked eagerly.

He looked around nervously. "Circle the herd, stay out of trouble," the dark bay said before cantering towards the oncoming cats.

He snorted in annoyance.
Norm stomped on a cougar paw, but was bitten in the heel in return. He whinnied loudly and cantered around the pack of cougars.
Midnight screeched, "To me! Attack!" and charged the cougars.

the dappled mare let out a fearsome neigh and stomped the ground. she raced past the cougars in a wide loop, checking to see if there were any reinforcements, and how their numbers were versus the big cats.

It was about 1;2, the Herd had the numbers. But cougars were fast and powerful. There were now only 9 left, one had died. He reared to give them a chance to escape.

a young cougar, about the age of an apprentice, yelped and ran. basil raced back and felt confident - they could win this if they tried hard enough. she raced over to shamrock and murmured a few things about how many cougars, before turning to go find her herd.

Sunrise galloped around nervously, distracting the cougars.

He nodded. There were only a few left. He reared and screamed, and all but two cougars ran after their apprentice.
Norm reared nervously.
Midnight screeched and killed one with a blow to the head.

Casino circled the herd at lightning speed, but paused to strike the last cougar hard with his hooves. It let out a yelp of pain and raced away.
