Opening first one warm brown eye, and than the other, the light brown stallion stood. Stretching he twisted half way around, letting out a groan as muscles reacted in protest. Rubbing the remains of last night’s sleep from his eyes, he glanced around the river. Where last night there had been nothing but trees on either side, he now noticed the long grass, and houses dotting the riverside.
A smile stretched across his face as he maneuvered the small vessel towards the harbor. A splash told him the anchor had hit the water. Placing one front hoof on the railing, he leapt over the side of the boat. Brushing dark brown and white streaked hair from his face, he headed towards the town. Glancing in the direction of the woods, he could hear them calling to him. They always had. There was something about the untamed wilderness that caused his heart to soar and his feet to fly. He would have to explore these woods while he was here.
