It sure was a beautiful day on Evergreen Hills. A bit to warm, but still a nice summerday. Rico and Resno came back from their air training when they saw that Great gave birth in ther early morning hours, just right after they saw them in dawn. Hero was standing next to her, his head down and they couldn't see the mare completely.
"Oh my!!" Rico said excited "What a huge foal! Good job, Great!" he called the mare, which was lying in the grass. "Resno, wait here, I'm going home and get the others!"
"Wait!" Resno yelled, but he allready turned his pegasi and was on the way to the stables. "There's something wrong..."
Resno got from Hits back and tied him to the fence, when she entered the pasture herself. Hero lowered his head and walked away from Great.
"Hey!" she called the mare. No reaction. Resno feared the worst. "Great, get up!"
The mare didn't move, just the big foal in front of her lifted its head. Hero came to Resno when she called him and she brought him to the gate and tied the stallion there too. She got back to the mare. The foal still lied in front of Great in the grass. It really was a big foal. When Resno came closer she was sure. The mare didn't show any movement the whole time. She was dead.
Resno got down to her and stroke along her neck, when she noticed something. The mare was pregnant with twins and the vet didn't see it. It was samll, much smaller than the born foal, and it was dead like the mother.
"Hey Resno, we're here!" Rico and Sassy were standing on the fence. Rico still grinning, but Resno saw that Sassy immedietly understood what happened.
Rico climbed over the fence and walked towards them.
"Why isn't she up and walking?" he asked irritated. Suddenly he stopped. Reso didn't need to answer, now Rico also knew what was wrong.
"She was with twins..." Resno started "looks like she hadn't enough energy for the second one..." She looked up, Rico was shivering. "I'm sorry, Rico, Great is-"
"NO!" he shouted. "I know it, I don't want to hear it!" He loved his jumpers, even though Hero was his main jumper, he also loved Great to bits. This should be her last foal and Hero should be retired, while Rico trained their offspring. Now the mare was gone. She was lying there like she was just sleeping.
____________________________________________________

Well, the new foal definetly has no happy start. Rico lost a loyal mare and Hero a lovely mate. Great is the first dead horse on Evergreen Hills. The first tragedy.
I tried to make a nice picture for Greats last one.
