She wanders into the meadow, her young colt following close by.
Then without warning the colt collapses to the ground, a small pitiful cry directed to his mother. His coat is ragged, and each rib can be seen on his frail body.
He was born a twin, and though his sister had died upon the first night, he had failed to get stronger.
His mother gives a frightened squeal, and is in an instance by his side, nuzzling him - encouraging him to get back onto his feet. But there is no response, the colts breathing finally dies out - his small body lies still and lifeless.

The death of now her second child is too much, and inside the mares heart is breaking. She cries out uselessly, nudging at the limp head of her son, but to no response.
Then, with a sudden desire to be away from this "thing" she turns and charges away from the area
