Julia grows fast, running quicker than her mother, Sparkle. She is able to keep up with the herd. With a shining gray coat, she stands out very well, too.
Another foal is born: all black. As soon as he stands, Julia slowly walks over and nuzzles him. She was very lonely- she was the only foal in the herd. By two weeks, they're running together, Julia slightly slowing down for the little fellow who has gotten his name, Midnight.
The herd notices that winter is coming. The fields become covered in frost and light snow. Omen always worries for the herd. Will it get too small? A horse dies every month from sickness or cold. Other reasons could unlikely happen, as well.
Spring finally comes. Julia is as big and healthy as ever. Unfortunately, Sparkle died in the night because it was very cold. Midnight was quite sick, although he did make it.
Omen was still the proud leader of the small herd. Julia, at this point, could keep up with her father perfectly. She tried to think about the young days when she would clumsily walk with her mother. Now Sparkle was gone, and she was a beautiful young mare. |
