Who Will Help Us?: Toby

By V.W. Copeland

The rising sun painted the horizon in hues of pink and gold, shimmering upon each dew-laden blade of prairie grass. In the distance, a newly strung telegraph wire glinted, connecting this budding town to the world beyond. A gentle breeze carried the scent of alfalfa and pine across the paddocks. It was a peaceful dawn, although anyone who knew the Murphy place understood such serenity rarely lasted once five spirited horses decided the day was under way. For these five forty-nine-inch-tall pit horses, once bound by the confining darkness of mine shafts, each sunrise on the Murphy ranch was a blessing. They had discovered second chances amid the vast expanse of the frontier. As Toby reared and whinnied, and the sisters' laughter mingled with the spirited greetings of the herd, the promise of 1872 spread over the southern edge of Colorado Springs. It was a frontier dawn full of possibility--an echo of the past, a testament to unbreakable bonds, and a beacon of hope for the future.
