Objective one: First impressions

Objective 1: First Impression
Horse: Hip #26
Handler: Siobhan Magnus

First impression: He's a very broken soul. I only hope he's more friendly to other horses than the others. It also appears that he broke his left hind leg at some point. It's healed now but the limp is likely permanent.

Story:
Siobhan had heard of these types of rescue events before but had never gotten a chance to participate, until today. She took a deep breath before heading toward the makeshift paddocks bracing herself for the cacophony of terrified voices that awaited her.
============
"Don't wanna go...Don't wanna. Bad. Death. Run."
Siobhan's head snapped up at this fearful muttering to meet the eyes of a terrified stallion. He was a beautiful Belgian Draft mix. It was clear that any memory revolving around human contact wasn't a pleasant one.
"What's his story?" she asked the helper nearest to the stallion's stall.
"He was rescued from a nearby hoarder. We don't know much more than that," he replied.
"I'll take him," she whispered handing over the money for the adoption fee.

Artists comments: I tried making him look scared but kinda failed.... I also tried making the mane look roached (equine equivalent of a Mohawk) but that failed too. Well there's always next time!
