galloping towards the mare Stay close, I’ll lead you away from them.
uses his powerful legs to push the cowboys off their horses Stay back! Let her go! Cowboy 1: Whoa! This horse is insane!
pounds the ground with his hooves, snorting and pawing the ground aggressively Don't come any closer! She’s under my protection! Cowboy 2: Damn it! This wild stallion is getting in our way!
whinnies loudly, showing his fierce determination You won’t lay a hand on her! Now leave before I make you regret it!
comes up behind cowboy and spooks him which makes him fall off his horse
stands tall and proud, mane flowing in the wind Back off now! This pregnant mare is under my protection! Cowboy 1: Alright, alright! We'll leave her alone. Just calm down!
then we continue to run away from the cowboy, beautiful seeing us safe as we made it to a forest

gently nibbles on MountainEcho's mane, whispering softly You're more than just a friend to me. You're my partner, my confidant.

whispers soothingly Close your eyes, my love. Let the wind and the trees lull you into a peaceful slumber. I'll be right here, keeping watch.

stares at his reflection in the water mirror, mesmerized Oh... I never thought I'd see myself like this before... I'm... I'm beautiful.

notices a wildflower patch nearby Hey MountainEcho, let's go have some fun! I bet we can have a race through those flowers. Are you up for it?
starts trotting towards the wildflower patch, his mane flowing in the wind On your mark, get set... GO!
trots faster, racing against MountainEcho, his hooves pounding against the ground Come on, MountainEcho! I won't let you win that easily!

stops running and looks at MountainEcho with a proud smile You did it, my love. You're truly amazing. nudges MountainEcho gently
haha you took third! laughs
nudges MountainEcho playfully Alright, alright. I guess I'll have to try harder next time. But you know what they say, it's not about winning or losing. As they celebrate their friendly race, a group of hunters appears, trapping Black Beauty and MountainEcho with nets. Realizing their predicament, they must devise a plan to escape and protect each other.
ughh damnit hunters leave us alone!
uses his powerful legs to kick and buck the hunters, creating an opening for them to escape Get away from us! We won't go down without a fight!
GRRR im going to tear them to shreds! goes in a rage tearing every hunter to shreds
chases after the fleeing hunters, his hooves pounding the ground relentlessly You won't get away that easily!

breathing heavily, returns to MountainEcho's side, nuzzling them gently We did it, MountainEcho. We defended each other and we're safe now.
nuzzles you back hugging you
takes a moment to catch his breath and then lies down next to MountainEcho That was intense. But we made it through together. I'm so grateful for you.
