I wish to present, the first chapter of a new, and hopefully enchanting tale. I present for your enjoyment...

Welcome to the Herd

Anna went cross-eyed, the sentient feral Whitetail doe glaring at the buckle that sat painfully on top of her pale brown muzzle, just above her black leathery nostrils. A lead rope was clipped to the underside and the halter tightened further.

"Ow!" Anna grumbled. "Really - is all this necessary? I'm not a feral Doe -"

Penny grinned and ruffled the cranky doe's ears with a hand. "You're going to learn humility and respect, even if it breaks you! I'm so ashamed of you Anna! Naughty Doe!"

Anna snorted, then insolently, poked her tongue out at her friend. "You're just jealous..."

"Jealous? I've seen full grown mares who...no, we are _not_having this discussion again! Now, come along!"

Anna squealed and dug her cloven hooves in, before Penny glared at her and Anna smiled weakly.

"Fine..."

Anna looked out the back of the trailer, her eyes wide as she seen the immaculate landscaping and the ornate driveway leading to the house and the horse paddocks beyond.

"Where on earth..." Anna mumbled to herself. "Is this a...stud?"

Finally, Penny pulled to a stop, then stepped out of the van and opened the back of the horse trailer in which Anna had been tied to the cross beam.

"Not a word out of you, alright?" Penny hissed, taking the lead rope and turning Anna around. "Nobody here knows - what- you are... I'd like to keep it that way, if you want your pelt still attached and your head not mounted on a wall..."

Anna blinked, then a broad smile spread across her muzzle. "On a wall? No - mounted _against_a wall...oh, yes please!"

"You're...urgh, why do I put up with you, I swear, I'll sell you to a Zoo..."

Anna merely smirked wider, then trotted along behind Penny like an obedient, loyal pet.

"Not a word..." Penny hissed side-mouthed at Anna. "I mean it!"

Anna flicked an ear and snorted through her nostrils, her head turning left and right as she took in the amazing fields and fences, even the placement of shrubs and large shady trees had been artfully laid out.

Anna's eyes widened as she stared at a glorious stallion, who looked up from the sweet grass he was cropping, his pointed ears pricking forwards in curiosity. Walking over to the chest high fence, he snorted and whickered at Penny, who pointedly ignored the stallion.

"Come along!" Penny growled, giving the lead line a sharp tug.

With a startled bleat, Anna was pulled along in her wake, her head almost ninety degrees as she stared wide-eyed at the magnificent stallion, who raised his tail and strutted alongside them snorting and posturing.

Arabian?_Anna thought to herself. _He's beautiful, I'm sure he's an Arabian, the way he lifts his tail, that proud, regal look about him...

"Come!" Snapped Penny, again dragging the startled doe in her wake. "What's gotten into you, now, come along!"

I know what I'd - like - to get into me... Anna mentally thought, feeling her tail flag from side to side.

Leading Anna around the back, Penny finally stopped and Anna acted normal, grazing the grass behind Penny, who smiled and waved to a man who come out of the back of the hose, tipping his head back. Anna rolled an eye to take him in, then did a double take as she started at the boots, the jean clad legs, the...

Anna choked on the mouth full of grass then let it fall out of her muzzle as she seen _the_bulge in the jeans at his groin.

"Alex, hey! Thank you for the invite, always a pleasure to come see you and yours! How's my boy? He's...what? Two now?"

Anna sidestepped once, peeking out from behind Penny's skirt, like she was timid and nervous.

"I see you brought - wow, she's grown so much! Oh, forgive me, here - "

From behind his back, he produced a carrot, holding it out to Anna's nostrils.

Really? Anna sighed mentally. I'm sentient, capable of speech and thought - and you offer me a carrot? I'd rather the carrot that's down those jeans...

As if sensing Anna's thoughts, Penny smiled and placed a hand on Anna's neck, pinching it warningly. Anna squealed and twitched, then timidly bit a piece of carrot and chewed it slowly.

"She's my beloved - companion - " Penny chuckled, stroking Anna's neck gently.

Companion?_Anna wanted to snort and stamp a hoof. _Since when was what we share together... a companion? What am I? Your dog?

"Poor Anna's a bit sore from the trip, is it okay by you, if we walk around for a while? Stretch her legs? I promise she'll stay on the lead..."

"Oh, oh...sure, yeah, its - you must be hungry, can put her in the round yard, if you want to come in for some early dinner or..."

Anna twitched beneath Penny's hand, then Penny smiled and shook her head. "No, thank you though - I think I'll just take her for a walk, get that blood flow back into her legs..."

Sure we will - Anna groused to herself mentally. Urgh, I get you alone, we are - so - going to talk about this...this insult!

"You know where to find me if you want me!" Alex smiled. "Take your time, a lots changed since you were last here, I'm sure Chance still remembers you!"

Chance? Anna pondered. Whose that?

"Chance? He's...what - two now?"

Alex laughed. "TWO? He's six, one of my best here at my ranch, and a fine stud he is! He's filled out and _checked_out - you take my meaning. His bloodline is strong and from a great Dam and Stud - this season hoping too -"

Anna's ears flicked, as she tuned out the conversation, bored and frustrated with standing around. With a loud bleat, Anna pulled back on the halter.

"Anna, what...oh...oh..." Penny blushed and looked nervously at Alex. "She needs to go to the bathroom, well, _her_equivalent, so, I'll take her away and..."

"Oh, sure!" Alex smiled then ruffled Anna's ears gently with his large, calloused hands.

Anna looked up, then back _down_before Penny tugged the rope again.

"Come on, you're _not_doing your business here on his prize winning lawn, naughty doe!"

*

Anna's eyes went to mere slits behind her lids as she rounded on Penny and snorted in frustration.

"I'm so embarrassed!" Anna sulked. "Really? Aren't I allowed to even_look_anymore?"

"There's looking, and there's looking- I saw you, don't deny it... I swear Anna, you'd probably try to back up to a fence strainer!"

Anna blushed, her ears flattening. "What? He's not exactly on the _small_side, is he? I mean, just..."

Anna bleated as Penny tweaked her ear. "Get your mind out of the gutter! He'd no sooner want to take you to bed, as breed one of his own mares..."

Anna huffed through her nostrils, then gave Penny a wicked grin and a twinkle in her eyes. "Oh, I don't know, I _could_be very persuasive with my tongue and..."

Anna snickered as Penny blushed a brilliant scarlet.

"Chance? Chance, honey, it's me - Penny!" Penny called out.

A head popped up over the fence, then the ears pricked forwards and the strapping young stallion squealed and charged. Anna back stepped two paces, stretching the line out - then with surprising skill, the stallion dropped his hindquarters, locking his stiff front legs and slid to a stop mere inches from Penny.

"Clever boy, aren't you?" Penny smiled, stroking the blaze on his forehead. "I never thought you'd learn that move! I taught you and trained you and you just couldn't get it right...now look at you! All grown up and showing off..."

"You...he..." Anna murmured, peeking out from behind Penny again, then looking at the stallion, then up_at the stallion. He stood proudly, showing off and flexing his muscles beneath his beautiful dark bay pelt. Anna's muzzle fell open, as she stared wide eyed at him. "He's..._big..."

"About, oh, 17 point two hands to the shoulder...aren't you Chance?"

With a snort, the stallion lowered his head and whiffled through his nostrils at Anna, who bleated and stepped backwards.

"Anna! Be nice, he's trying to share breath with you, that's a beautiful sign of friendship!"

"He...he could literally step on me..." Anna whispered, her eyes even wider. "I'm like...uh...just shy of 12 hands..."

Chance flicked his ears, then whiffled at Penny, before he gently nuzzled Anna's neck.

"So," Come a deep voice from the equine, as he smirked and nudged Penny's shoulder gently. "This is the one you mentioned?"

Anna squealed and backed away, wide eyed and ears going flat as Chance nickered in laughter and Penny rested a hand on his shoulder and laughed right along with him.

"She needs to learn some humility - I thought maybe you or one of your herd might help..."

"Really?" Chance grunted, as he looked down his long muzzle at the quivering doe. "I could stand over the top of her - she's so - small- like a miniature mare!"

"Hey!" Anna squeaked, her voice timid and lacking any real authoritative tone. "I _am_right here!"

"Chance honey? Show her why you're loved, please?"

Chance glanced side-eyed at Penny, then he tipped her a wink and let himself drop, turning side on so Anna could see it for herself.

"Oh...my..." Anna wheezed explosively, the air rushing from her lungs as her eyes went huge.

On the drop, Chance was a good fourteen inches or more - it almost touched the ground. It was thick as a coke can from penile head to base, with adorable dark colouration and a strange flesh-like patch about four inches long either side of his medial ring.

"Thank you Chance, I think you made your point - " Penny grinned.

Anna could only stare, as she felt her tail frizzle to twice its size and her folds instantly turned wet and sticky. Chance took a half step, his broad nostrils flaring and he grinned, before nudging Penny again.

"Oh, this promises to be a great deal of fun... You said she's a bit of a Queen huh?"

"Penny!" Anna gasped, open muzzled and wide-eyed.

"Well,your majesty..." Chance's sarcastic tone coming through loud and clear, the smile that spread across his dark lips was another. "Toys are one thing, the_real_thing - is quite another..."

Penny laughed hysterically, seeing Anna's eyes grow even wider, before the quivering doe swallowed what felt like an apple that'd been shoved down her throat.
