"Boy.....I.....will....bring...you...home!"He shouted as he dodged people.
The Colonel glared at the returning stallion."What's gotten into that crazy horse?"He said aloud.

The General turned around to see the buckskin stallion running around and dodging people. He watched.
Utah turned and looked and saw Spirit.

He leapt over a holding post,his one back leg making a nasty smacking noise as it hit,but he kept running to free his son.He then saw he had easier access to Utah,and so charged the people holding him.They got out of his way.

The men let got of the reins and ropes. Utah pulled away quickly. He made a run for it. Then he saw Spirit was headed toward Thunder. Utah decided to try and distract the humans.

Thunder stood still."Dad if you try to bring me home,i won't leave!"He snorted.He was sick of being bossed around.He just stood there,like nothing was going on

Utah stopped. Wondering what was going on. As he stopped a few soldiers grabbed him. He just stood there watching and waiting for the next reply.

"Your old enough to make your own choices son,and I won't try to stop you.But I am getting you out......of...here!"The last three words he said as he smacked his hooves against the post holding him."But remember you are always welcome with me."He said,trying to break the dumb post.

2 men caome over to them.They were watching Utah when they looked around and saw Spirit.A man threw a chain and roped Spirit,then another man untied Thunder and tied him to a metal post so Spirit couldn't break it no matter what.They tied a hard chain around Thunder's neck so Spirit couldn't break the rope.Thunder snorted,looking at his father trying to escape

Spirit eyes flashed angrily."If you hadn't been so stubborn...."He snarled as he was pulled at."I've had enough of this shit!Find your own way out!"With that,he simply followed the people like a dog.He was then tossed out and the doors shut quuickly behind him.He then felt a terrible guilt.He looked at the top of the fort and saw people watching him carefully.He moved out of the fort's shadow,then ran a bit further away.
A mare that hadn't been able to leave the fort,Sagebrush,walked up to Thunder."Hey kid,that was a stupid thing to do.I would've gotten out of here if I could've."

Thunder snorted at the mare."I can do as I please.I'm strong enough to get myself outta here."He turned around,pinning his ears.A mare couldn't boss him around,Could she?

Utah looked around. Spirit was gone and Thunder was still here. Something must have gone wrong. He didn't know. All that he knew was that he and Thunder were stuck in the calvary until they could find away out. Utah looked around. He was getting tired. He hadn't one chance to rest all day besides this morning when he was with Niga. At lest she was safe from the calvary. Utah sighed and lowered his head. The soldier holding him stood still and looked at the horse. Then he looked at the General. "Sir, what should we do with the chestnut stallion, sir," the soldier said in respect for the General as he saluted him.
"Have him tied to the post in the corral," the General answered. "We will deal with it in the morning." The General nodded, letting the soldier know that he could go.
Utah sighed again as he was led into the corral and they untacked him and put a rope halter on him and tied him to the post.
"Colonel," the General said. "I would like you to take a look at that chestnut in the morning." He was getting ready to head to his cabin soon. He walked by the Colonel and then stopped a few paces away from him. "Oh, and Colonel. If everything goes alright with that animal, you may be looking at your new mount for any battles. A fine stallion that may be quiet, maybe perfect for someone who has worked so hard such as yourself in battle deserves a fine horse," the General said. "After all how long have you had the gelding of your's?"
Utah stared at them. He couldn't believe how humans would just stand there and talk about giving a horse away as if it were an object such as a gift to someone. And they were talking not to faraway from where he was. Utah snorted when he thought about belonging to a human in any case. He watched them. Utah had to think of something to keep his spirit and his freedom, but how was he going to do it?

Thunder snorted as the mare left.He wanted off this post.Wstching Utah,He was in so much more pain.Thunder of course,was too young to be branded bu was,and his neck was so stiff.He watched and listened to the men.Knowing they would come over and ask about him next,he pinned his ears.
"What should we do with this pinto General?He has his father's hard-head."The Colonel said,looking back and forth to the general and Thunder

"Leave him at that post over night," the General said. "Tomorrow, I'll have a few soldier with me to work with him. We'll try the sand-bags again since that seem to be the only way to slow him down."

"Yes sir."The colonel said,smirking at Thunder.Thunder snorted,and turned around,his but in the Colonel's face.The colonel and thegeneral walked off,and Thunder began to pull on the rope.He looked at the sky,it was already dark out.He laid down,and shut his eyes,falling asleep.
The next day..........

"Thank you sir."He said about Utah."And as for the pinto,I say we keep him as a breeding stallion,like you suggested for the father."his dark eyes looked at the stallion.Sagebrush looked at him as well,rolling her eyes.She was only about a month older,but she though he was much younger.SHe was entering her first heat cycle....
