A young gray stallion is about to get his punishment for getting too close to Shaggy's band of mares. One of the brown stallion's young colts runs alongside the action.
Shaggy dominated one of the largest bands of mares, and unlike some of the other herd stallions, did not allow other lower males to be part of his band. He was big, powerful, and nobody messed with him.

Beautiful image! Would love to use this one to visually depict "Freedom" that we hope for and live to experience. Although, the horses are free, there are ground rules that they must adhere or suffer the consequences.
