She was beginning to worry about both their safety when her and her colt heard something, coming from a hillside was the distinct sound of a horse, the mare recognized the horse’s voice and looked up at the hill to see a young stallion. She began to realise who he was, he was the stallion she ran into all those months ago, the father of her foal. She tossed her head and called out to him, begging him to help them, the young stallion heard the mare’s cries for help so he looked behind him and made a high pitched whinnie, then, emerging from behind the stallion came four mares, he looked at his mares and instructed them to stay on the hill and only fight if he needed help before charging towards the mare, foal, and mountain lion, he managed to get in front of the mare and her foal just in time before the lion tried to attack again.
