The sound of noisy dogs and over excited horses once again could be heard on the farm. After the scare they had a few nights ago it was nice to be able to relax again. There was no longer any apprehention about the weak foal as he was now strong enough to go outside. Laurette Waked down the white gravel path, leading the white mare with her two foals close behind. Since the little colt hadn't been drinking and had become cold he wasn't as strong and was slightly smaller than his twin sister. But despite his troubles he still found the strength to play with the three American Mastiffs that barked and jumped around him. The filly, Honesty trotted beside her mother calmly ignoring her playfull brother. Laurette unlatched the gate to the foal paddock and swung the fence open. Justice nodded her head and pulled hard on the lead. Taking the lead off she bolted into a strong gallop and whinnied in high spirits. Honesty tried her best to keep up lagging a few strides behind. The other foal didn't notice his mother had left and insted began mock charging Amber who barked at him loudly. Justice noticed her missing foal so neighed loudly to call. He soon came running on his wobbly thin legs. The Arabian trio cantered in a perfect circle around the huge paddock a foal running at each side of their dam. Laurette watched for awhile and then turned to the three of her four dogs. She wondered whether she should put the smaller foal into a pen with her puppy and maybe it would break the dog's fear of horses.
