Walking out to check on all the horses, Luke was thinking of many things. A few new horses had arrived and he had to be sure everything was together. He picked up the feed bucket and walked down the barn giving everyone their evening feed. Everything seemed to be going well until he scooped feed into Celia's stall. The arab mare stared Luke down and flattened herears against her head. She squealed and pawed at the ground with wild eyes. Luke looked at her confsed. She had been bred to his stud awhile back but was no where near ready to foal. He stood there awhile watching the crazy mare. As he turned to leave something caught his eyes. At first it seemed as though just a dark spot in the corner of the stall but then Luke saw something move. What he saw was the tiny ear of a small foal flicker. He trotted back to the stall and squinted his eyes trying to get a good look but Celia was gaurding the foal with her life. He sighed and tried to calm the mare down but she would have nothing of it. The foal seemed weak and wasn't trying to get up and that worried him but he'd wait a few hours to see what would happen.
