I think it was a beautiful story

"To the Mountains By Morning" is a touching story about a mare (female horse) named old Bailey and another horse named Stocking. Old Bailey had been at the barn for 10 years. She was the oldest horse there and was always welcoming the new horses. But Stocking was different from the other horses, he did not want to be Old Bailey's friend. One day a new owner comes to the barn. He wears tight green pants and always carries a crop. There are eight horses in the barn and eight new horses will be arriving soon. Old Bailey knows that there are only 15 stalls in the barn and one horse will have to go. Old Bailey knows that she will be the one to leave this time. That night, Old Bailey is in the paddock with Stockings. Stockings thinks to himself "I can't just watch while they take Old Bailey away tommorrow." "I'm going to the mountains," says Old Bailey. "To the mountains by morning!" says Stockings. They ran around as fast as they could to build up speed and jumped the fence to freedom. Will they make it to the mountains by morning?
