Ebony head was lowered to the ground, barrel wide with the extra weight she was now carrying. Her tail was wrapped in purple this time around, she was happy when her new owner left her mane and tail. She snorted and raised her head, looking around as she herd the sound that had become so common in her ears! She whickered softly as she turned to head up to the gate, belly swaying. She was large, quite large at that. She was something like a semi truck and wide load. She stopped and began to walk, tired already. Dancer reached the gate and hung her head over the fence. Playing with the latch trying to get her owners attention, she nickered and walked up and down the fence line. Were was her food? And the grooming she normally got everyday? Plus when her owner checked her over to make sure she was not getting close, you could tell today that the foal had dropped some but was still high up, she showed no other signs really, except for a small bag. She stopped and nipped at her belly, waiting at patiently as she could muster.

I let out a sharp whistle letting the horses know that I was coming. All at once the ranch came alive with the pounding of hooves and shrill whinnies. "Alright, alright! Settle down! I'm coming!" I yelled, laughing. All the pounding stopped except toward the stud barn. "Easy Lightning! Settle down boy!" Silly horse. I laughed and ran toward the feed room. Lightning, Belle, Juliet, and Dancer. There the feed was ready. I grabbed Lightning's and jogged toward his barn. The pounding of hooves got louder and faster as I got closer. "Hey daddy horse go get into your stall!'' I yelled, still laughing. I quickly went to his stall and poured the feed in the bucket staying in the stall to greet him.
Faster, faster! I pushed myself to go faster as I circled the paddock once more. Stevie yelled at me to go get in my stall but I only let out a shrill whinny and bucked. I wanted to go faster but there was no room. I struck out a foreleg playfully. I was thinking as I made the last few rounds around the paddock. I was going to be a father soon! What would the foal look like? Would it be a colt or filly? I went faster still. What color would it be. I finally decided to go in the stall. I trotted in quickly, nuzzled Stevie then plunged my muzzle into the feed bucket. Sweet feed! Mmm.
I looked Lightning over quickly making sure that he didn't bang himself when he was running. "Good boy. Keeping yourself fit I see." I stroked his neck and felt only a light sweat. "I have to go feed the girls, so I'll see you later eh?" I gave him a finally pat and went out of the stall. I quickly went back to the feed room and put the feed in a wheel barrow and walked as fast as I could to the broodmare/gelding barn. "Girls! Breakfast!" I called. Belle's head popped out immediatly as if she was saying Food? "Yeah girl food." I said and quickly feed her and then Juliet. I walked quickly to Dancer's pasture, where she was rattling the gate lach. "Hey gal. How you doing?" I patted her as I poured the feed into her bucket. "That foal coming anytime soon? Huh?" I quickly check her over. "Nope, not yet. But soon huh?" I patted her and stood next to her. "Eat up. You'll need all the food you can get huh."

Whickering as my food was poured into my bucket, I brought my maw to the bucket and began to eat, my ears flickering at her words which of course I could not understand. I finished my food, leaving a little bit in there. Stevie was much more interesting, the foal kicked again and I slammed a hoof into the ground, I was not going to have much left on the inside after this. I flicked my wrapped tail against my flanks, lighting always caused so much noise during feeding but then again every stallion did. They could not help it, it was worse at my old farm, they had ten stallions that stood at there farm. Each was a multi million dollar producer and a million dollars in earnings. I snorted and raised my head, I had an itching to go on a walk. More like I wanted to, I tossed my ebony head and trotted along the fence line I wanted out! As soon as this foal was out of me, oh I was going to run like the wind! I squealed and stopped to paw at the ground. My eyes rolled back to show the whites for a brief second. I snorted and looked at her, take me out!!!

"Lightning's noisy right Dancer?" The foal kicked and Dancer slammed a hoof into the ground. " I know. You wanna go on a walk right?" I grabbed the lead rope that was on the gate and then snapped it to her halter. "Come on girl. Feel like a little jog?" I opened the gate and jogged outside. "Come on you know you wanna. Let's go!" I was feeling a bit high strung today just like Lightning felt everyday. I knew that Dancer was not the type of mare to stand in a pasture all day but she had to. Oh I couldn't wait for the foal to come and neither could Dancer!
I whinnied loudly to Dancer. Maybe Stevie would let me see her. Probably not but there was still a chance right? I trotted out of the stables and into the pasture.

Jog? I caught that word, it was like being in a halter show all over again only I did not look my best. I jogged along side Stevie, head held high and then I began to walk. Things were not as easy as they use to be. I lowered my head and walked along side her happy to be out of the pasture maybe I would see Lighting, then I would glare at him for putting me into this mess. I snorted and then nickered softly, it was not his fault entirely, it was part mine too. I stopped, and brought my hoof up to strike my belly multiple times. It hurt having this thing kick me all the time and it was not like it was the smallest foal in the world either, it just had to be large and un comfortable for me. I nickered again and raised my tail, it feel to the side, I just wanted it to be over. I began to walk again, don’t ever let lighting bred to me again I don’t want to carry another large foal, I want it to be smaller then it was. I pinned my ears stopping and slamming my hoof into the driveway, I raised it to strike at my belly again and then finally the foal settled. I snorted and breathed a bit easier as I relaxed and began to walk again, stopping at the stallion pasture I wanted to see him, cruse these hormones.

"Poor Dancer." I said rubbing her neck. "That foal won't settle down will it. Let's go see that noisy stud of our." We walked all the way to the stallion barn and stopped at the fence. "Lightning! Come here boy. Someone's here to see you!" I called.
"Dancer!" I whinnied excitedly. I galloped to the fence where they both stood. "How are you? How's the foal? Do you think it's coming soon?" I nuzzled the now wide mare and waited for her anwsers to my many questions. I paid zero attention to Stevie. My eyes were only for Dancer right now.

So we reached the stallion pasture and he was all excited to see me and asked a billion and one questions and then nuzzled me, im fine annoyed and ready for it to come out, so I can go on and begin to be normal again. The foal it kicks twenty four seven. I snorted and then nipped his neck, hormones got to love them. Blame it on the hormones I spoke calmly, coming soon? It cant come soon enough. I pinned my ears and nipped his neck harder this time, my frame twitched and I slammed a hoof into the grass again as it started up again, I turned and glared at my belly, you just have to start up when we are in front of your father. I nipped at my belly and then turned to look at him, flicking my tail. I un pinned my ears and touched his cheek and the nuzzled his cheek. See it’s the hormones. I nickered softly to him and waited.

"Oh Dancer. I love you." I gave her a friendly nip and then jumped back when she slammed a hoof into the ground. "What was that all about?" I asked her as she nuzzled my check. "Did I do something?" I was a bit puzzled with all this hormone stuff and what not. Mares. You can't live with them and you can't live without them.
I laughed as the two horses nuzzled each other. Then the foal inside of Dancer went into another kicking fit. "That thing never stops kicking does it girl?" I rubbed the mare's huge stomach and felt it kick. "Yep I stand corrected. Hey Lightning. I'm here too you know." Lightning never even flicked an ear. That stud. Only has eyes for the mares when there around.

HE LOVED ME!!!!! What the heck? One time together and he already was saying he loved me. Oh this was umm ok. Lighting I love you too. I spoke and nuzzled his cheek What was that about? Oh come on the little seed you plant in me as turned into a foal! Earth to lighting the thing is use me as a punching bag that’s what that was about. I snorted and looked at Stevie, with a look that said take it out now! I cant stand it any longer. Maybe if I was lucky enough it would come early. I squealed and stomped my hoof into the ground again, make it stop. I nudged Stevie and buried my face in her chest. I wanted to be done I did not like this any more, the foal was causing me so much discomfort. I propped a hoof and waited.

I shook my head. "Poor Dancer. I wish they would turn us out together but that's not going to happen anytime soon. But at least I can jump this fence. Our little midnight gatherings will have to be enough." I nibbled at her neck grooming what parts I could reach.
"Awe Dancer. I know that look but sorry I can't do anything. If you both just stayed tied this wouldn't have happened. But I suppose it's a good thing now." I rubbed the middle of the mare's head. "This will all be over soon girl. Your almost done. Just tell that little one to hurry along." I rested my head on hers while Lightning tried grooming what little parts he could reach.

She snorted, oh no no no no no no no no, no more midnight tangos when this foal is born im done for a long while. I snorted. You can still jump the fence to see the foal but don’t expect any more. She enjoy the attention she was getting, what parts Lightning could reach he groomed but she did not care, she liked the attention both were giving. She whickered softly and the foal seemed to settle again. Dancer was ready for a nap now, thats all she wanted now was a nice long nap in her stall.

"That's not what I meant. And besides I don't think that Stevie would be so happy if you get pregnat again." Gee this mare is confusing. What the heck was wroug with her? Did all mares act like this when they had a foal inside of them? I really didn't want to know. I pinned my ears back and then pricked them. "I can't wait to see our foal. It will be the most beautiful foal there is." I leaned on the fence more streching my neck as far as it could go, trying to groom the parts I couldn't reach.
"Alright Lightning you've had your fun. It's time for Dancer to go back into her stall." I tugged on the lead. "Come on girl. I think we both need a nap. Let's go." I waited for Dancer to follow and then turned around, taking a step toward the mare barn.

She snorted and followed after Stevie, the walked to her stall and she went inside. She circled around when she unclipped her. She went to the corner and lowered her head and propped a hoof, she shifted and paced before lowering her frame to the ground and falling asleep on the soft bedding. She awoke sometime later hungry for dinner, she stood and shook her pelt off and released a call, she was hungry and wanted her food now that and the door open so she could go out into the paddock. She squealed again and paced her stall, head raised she pawed and made mounds and a giant hole in her bedding. She called out again and flicked her tail. Waiting.

Bye Dancer see you tonight! I called to the mare. Yeah the pretty little mare that hated to wait. I swished my tail and went to go doze under a tree.
"I hear you Dancer! I'm coming!" I jogged quickly to the stall that Dancer was in. "Hey pretty girl you know it's time to eat huh?" I had fed all the other horse's except for Dancer. You could hear Lightning putting up his usaul fuss, screaming at Rebel and Omaha for whatever reason. I opened the stall and poured in her feed. "There you go. Eat up." I went and opened up the paddock door so the mare could go in and out as she pleased. "You act like your the queen around here huh? I guess you are in a way with all this attention your getting." I was spoiling her a little but hey who couldn't. I looked a the giant hole in the middle of the stall. "Oh Dancer. You really hate waiting don't you?" I went to go get a pitchfork to even out the bedding leaving to stall door open. A few minuates later I was sitting in the straw and just watching Dancer. I smiled again at the thought of her foal and hoped that it would hurry.

I snorted that’s right bring the food right to me, so it can go into my belly. I whickered softly at the word queen. That was me, it sound like she was complain about the hole in my bedding I kind of liked it. I dug into my food, not a single grain stood a chance against my hungry. It was all gone and I looked at Stevie who was sitting in my stall. Turning I began to paw at the straw again, watching to see what she did. I made a mound and yet another hole before, moving past her and out into the paddock, were I still had my second wind. A call left me and I tore up the grass in my paddock turning sharply and then stopping in the middle to paw. I stuck my head in the door and whinnied. Hmm I was having fun because I was positively bored.
