Cham looked at Thunder. "Doesn't worry," Cham said. "Don't give up yet." Cham stayed still wait for a chance to get out of the thin stall he was in.
Utah stayed where he was as he listened to the humans talk about as if he were not there.

"He'd make a fine mount,but he has a rather large head.Much like the Mustang."The Colonel said."Makes too much room for big ideas.We need to pressure those thoughts out,don't we?"He asked Utah,tapping the horse's flank lightly with his whip.

Thunder snorted.His legs were tied down on nails with ropes.He still had his head lowered.Hearing Spirit say dad,he was confused."Huh?Cham is my dad.I'm not your son."Thunder snorted.Actually,Thunder lost his memory of his father and mother,he'd been away so long.

Utah didn't move at the touch of the whip. He stood steady, knowing that one move could cause him to go to the ground. Utah didn't like having the things on his legs. They worried him. He never knew if he was going to fall or not. Luckily, they had not branded him yet and he hoped they wouldn't.

"Tack him up.I want to try him out."He said.The men went to prepare Utah for riding.The Colonel moved over towards Thunder."On second thought...Tack this one up for me instead.Have Jolie take out the chestnut.I want to make sure he doesn't behave the same as his father."The Colonel supposed that this was Spirit's son,only because of the defiant gleam in the brown eyes and because of the strong deep coloring.He blew cigar smoke in the colt direction,then went to grab his breaking crop.

Thunder snorted.He wanted to attack him,but he couldn't move.Instead,he stretched his neck out and bit the Colonel on the hand.Snorting,he looked at the others.He wasen't being tamed,ever.Seeing eeryone look at him,He knew he might get in trouble for biting him.But he didn't care.

The Colonel felt liked slapping the colt,but ingnored him."The same treatment as the father.Tie his feet."The Colonel walked off.

Cham was finally led out off the thin stall. He was kept under control by many ropes. They began to cut his mane and his tail and groomed him. Cham snorted and became angrier with every hair that fell.
Utah stayed still as they tacked him up. His legs still tied. He felt useless with all these ropes on him and the tack was worse. Then came the bit. Utah pulled his head away as they tried to get the bit in his mouth. They had not yet tightened the girth of the saddle. Utah threw his head up in the air to keep the bit away from him. A few humans came up and restricted his head. Another started to force the bit into his mouth. Utah kept he's teeth shut tight. Then all of a sudden, one of the humans grabbed a small crop and whacked it hard across his hindquarters, force Utah to squeal in pain. The other human forced the bit into his month as he squealed. He's squeal was cut short by the sound of him coughing over the bit as it got shoved into his mouth. The cold metal steal sent shivers down his spine. Then they began to tighten the girth. Utah threw his head up attempting to rear, but couldn't because of the ropes. He swung his hindquarters around and began to back up.

Thunder snorted.As soon as he felt more weight on his hooves,He squealed in pain.The men didn't seem to care.Atleast he wasen't branded yet.Seeing Utah in alot of pain,he needed to get out of here.He wasen't being tacked up,no matter what.Snorting over and over,he tried to rear but fell down cause of the ropes and the rocks around him.He slowly got back up,and looked at the human coming with tack.

The soldier smirked as he watched the colt get back to his feet. He stood off to the colt's side and grabbed the saddle and saddle pad.
Cham was off some distances. He was furious now. With his mane being cut and now here came someone with the brander. Cham had seen so many horses with brands and heard the stories. He started to struggle, to try and get away. Cham couldn't kick out since they tied him up. The brand drew closer to his body. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the brand came closer. Cham tried to pull away. He could feel the heat of it was he got closer. He tried and tried to get away, but couldn't until finally the brand landed on his hindquarters. Cham squealed in pain as the fiery metal burned into his skin.

Thunder wondered.Horses were suppose to be branded first before tamed.Forgetting as he heard Cham squeal,he hoped he was okay.The man that was beside Thunder,Thunder kicked at him,The saddle laid on his back went flying.

The man fell to the ground. He tried to jump out of the way, but Thunder's hoof nicked him. The soldier stood up again and tried this time quickly to put the saddle on. He grabbed the saddle and threw it onto the colt's back and grabbed the girth to try and tighten it.

Thunder snorted and tried to rear again.Instead,he bit the man on the hand before he got the girth tightned all the way.He tossed his heads in a way saying"that's what you'll get if you mess with me!"Thunder snorted.Actually,he didn't mind the saddle,the only things he was afraid of was the bit and getting branded.

The man fell backwards in pain. Another man came up and help him up and led him away. A soldier that was near by, saw the the saddle was still on the colt. He ran over and tightened it before the colt could bit him. He smirk knowing he had done something the other man couldn't.
Cham bared his teeth in pain as the hot medal came off of his hindquarters. He had been branded. It was the same symbol as everyone else. "U.S." Cham breathed heavily in pain.
Utah kept throwing a fit. He kept backing up and going sideways until the ropes on his back legs came off. Utah now had mobility with his back legs. He began to rear, even though his front legs were still tied. A few men pulled on the reins and ropes to get him down. He came down oddly, but was not hurt. He started jumping sideways and forward, using his back legs to propel him forward. More man came to try and stop him.

Thunder snorted,and bit at the girth.Even though the man had already done it up,he bit him anyway.The one thing he wasen't accepting was a bit.Snorting and rearing,some men came and tied him down.An aggressive man came over and laid rocks on Thunder's feet to keep him down.He squealed in pain but them men didn't care.All that Thunder was intended on doing was escaping the bridle.
