Rising Fog

Sometimes the stallion moves the mares from behind, rigorously weaving around individuals who choose a pace that’s not to his liking. Other times, he suddenly moves away from the herd, not seeming to care if they follow him or not. On this morning, scouting ahead of the mares, the herd stallion seems to lift the fog as he journeys across the meadow. Dutifully, the mares and foals will begin to file after him in long, informal ranks.
