For the horses

On a clear Summer's day fifteen Palominos mares grazed in a paddock with lush green grass. A midget of a pitch black Shetland pony trotted over to say hello. None of the haughty Palominos took any notice and they all cantered away to the other side of the paddock. The little Shetland galloped across to the Palominos with tiny strides.

But the Palominos didn't want the Shetland to join them, so they kicked him. The Shetland didn't mind and thought that they were just play fighting. He nuzzled them at the water trough and made all of them squashed. The Paliminos tried to bite him but they were so squashed that they couldn't.

Later that day when the Palominos were clustered together, whispering secrets, the Shetland enthusiastically charged at them and knocked them over in the mud. They scrambled up with a frustrated look in their eyes. They were going to a show and couldn't get dirty! 

When their owner came he took them all off to give them a thorough clean. After the show the Shetland tried to be affectionate, and this time the haughty Paliminos nuzzled him and played with him!

The Paliminos had obviously learnt their lesson. Ever since they would all be awesome friends.
