After a month of healing and growing I was getting a lot stronger my leg still ached in the evenings but I was just happy to be home with my Mommy. One hot afternoon in the middle of Summer I was led away from my Mommy into a dark box on wheels, I was in that thing for such a long time, crying for my Mommy why wasn't she here? Where was she? Was Mommy waiting for me? What was going to happen to me? Finally the box came to a stop, the door opened, bright light flooded the insides of the trailer. As I was led outside I nickered for Mommy but there was no answer, I was alone. What happened to Mommy? How come I was here? Was I bad? I did not mean to be! Next thing I knew this woman grabbed hold of my lead line and started jerking me around, she sure was not very nice! This mean Woman took me into this huge barn, even though it was blistering hot outside, I felt I was walking into a snow storm, it was so cold and forbidding. I heard another colt inside, he was crying, I asked him what was wrong all he could say was " you will see!" We were turned out into this round pen the ground was so hard with no grass, water or shade, it was miserable. we just stood there nose to tail helping each other keep flies off. That night when we were brought in for the night, it was so cold, I shivered all night. Nobody was here to put a blankey on me, no one to snuzzle up with, I was so lonely.
