NO!!!!!!! *she screams with all her might, racing through the gently waving blades of grass. Her legs are a blur as she gallops faster and faster toward the ledge, her eyes wild and desperate. Her mane and tail stream out behind her and her nostrils flare red. The wind roars painfully loud in her pinned-back ears. She sees her sire's body trembling on the edge of the abyss and squints her eyes, forcing her sharply aching legs faster . . . faster . . . her mouth gapes . . . drops of sweat and gobs of foam fly back and streak her neck, chest and sides. Her muscles stand out beneath her glossy pelt . . . and then, suddenly, the muscles in her haunches bunch and she jumps with a powerful thrust from her hind legs. She flies over a log, forelegs neatly tucked. She lands, takes one cantering stride and thrusts her head out hard, jaws gaping wider then ever. With a grunt of effort and pain her teeth grind down on her sire's silky tail and she tastes blood from her cut toungue. She slips onto her side and wildly shoots out a hind leg. Her hind leg wraps around one of his and un-balances him--luckily, he falls back next to her in the grass. She lets go of his tail and lies there, her eyes closed, her chest jerking up and down in fitful gasps, blood trickling from her nostrils and her mouth, which is still open.*
