Ghost's Silent Watch

Ghost earned his name from his coat—a dappled grey that seemed to shift with the light, from silver to steel to smoke. An Andalusian with a powerful build and a mane that fell in thick waves, he was the herd's undisputed leader. He governed not through aggression, but through quiet authority. A mere look from him would settle squabbles. Under saddle, he was magnificently collected, capable of breathtaking dressage movements. But his true role was as protector. He'd position himself between the herd and any perceived danger. The pasture feels vulnerable now, missing his constant, vigilant presence at the highest point, watching over his equine family.
