A lovely story, Justin. I remember when animal scientists claimed animals didn't feel emotions like love and I laughed at them. That has now been debunked and your story is an illustration of the love between those horses.

This story only needed fifty words. Brilliant opening line - exactly what fiction of any length, needs. And a last line that breathes like haiku. Try it aloud in the present tense, see what you think. More please. Sharron at LEAVES
I love reading the different lengths of stories you post. I always remember the advice my high school drama teacher gave us: No matter what you do, always leave them wanting more not wishing they had less

We live in a rural county and see horses frequently. This story touched my heart. Horses form family bands, and grow very attached to each other. This story captured horse-family care, the stronger one for the weaker member, perfectly. No more words needed; 50 is fine. Thanks, Justin!

Fifty word stories are so difficult! Great job!
What a beautiful story, Justin. It's amazing how much emotion can be captured in just fifty words.
