The old appaloosa stood in his field, alone. He needed food. Sure, the grass was good, but he needed more than that. He needed the sweet feed, alfalfa hay, pellets, oats, Something more than grass. He hardly even got water, but when he did, the human didn't fill his trough very high. Today was different from normal, though, because the human came. "Come on stupid horse. " She put a halter on his face and attached a rope to it. The old horse followed her willingly, hoping that she was selling him to a nice family, just like his mate and daughter. Roughly yanking the lead rope, the woman halted. The appaloosa halted with her, and waited patiently. Kids, kids all Around! The appaloosa was overjoyed, and didn't care when the woman strapped an English saddle to his back without a blanket. He didn't like the bit that much, but if it meant pleasing his human, then it was worth it. "lets go you stupid horse." The woman grumbled. He followed her to the kids. The oldest stepped up to the horse and Mounted him. The boy was heavy but still the horse obeyed. "Trot. " the boy whacked the horse with his riding crop. The poor Stallion obeyed. The boy dug his spurred heels into the stallion's side, and thwacked him with the crop. "Faster you lousy animal!" He shouted. The appaloosa broke into a canter, the fastest he could go. The bot weighed him down as he cantered in circles around the ring. He breathed heavily, but the boy urged him on, thwacking the stallion repeatedly. "Go! " he shouted. "Faster! Faster!" But the stallion couldn't go any faster. The appaloosa could barely breathe now. He didn't dare slow, hoping his master would be pleased. Something in the stallion's chest burst, and he crashed to the ground. The old Stallion breathed no more.
