History:
It was all a blur to start with, the horses where screaming as the ramps were forced up. Horses shuffled between eachother as the engine reaved and pulled away sharply. The horses heaved apart from eachother fighting for space, the foals cryed for there mothers who were too busy looking after themselves to care for foals. There were 12 horses on what Nanna assumed was a cattle lorry.
Before all this she was happily standing in the paddock with the other sports horses and event horses. Nanna was the last to be loaded, she was old and only forced onto the trainer because there was just enough room. Nanna stood on the sreaming rocking truck with her eyes shut, she was being bumped and knocked into entill a large foal knocked into her front legs crying.
Nanna's eyes opened quickly as she rawred and jump kicked the back of the trailer. So loud in fact the theves got concirned enough to stop. Nanna kicked out again with less energy but still made a fair knock.
This was a good trick from Nanna's youth, when she was a showjumper she'd kick the trailer when she got tired of traveling or wanted some attention.
The ramp came down with a crash, now between the horses and freedom and the trailer was the wooden ramp sides closed and 2 men blurting there loud jiberish. Soon the horses forced themselves on the bars of the trailer ramp guards. and Nanna and the foal. One man shot a gun startling all the horses back, even Nanna jumped but didn't stop pressing on the ramp guards.
A man clicked the ramp guards apart and pulled Nanna mane to come off, she was half-blind old and pretty worthless in human terms. Nanna followed the human quickly, a little too quickly she pushed him off the ramp leaving a gap big enough for Blackthorn to follow her.
She didn't stop long enough to get caught again her and BlackThorn bolted from the scene.
When day broke Nanna & BlackThorn wondered back to the road side. there they found Aspen and Maple crying, they'd been removed from the trailer as well. probably because they wearn't worth enough to bother stealing. The little group coped well together as they traveled on looking for another home.
