By the time that she had arrived in the woodlands of what she assumed was this brutes home, Ragnfridr was exhausted.
Running endlessly and swimming extensively took a lot out of a horse; and even the athletic Ragnfridr used and tested muscles that she was unaware were not worked. When the stallion broke from his persistant driving, it gave Ragnfridr a sense of relief; she could finally stop running. At least, for the moment. Hot air puffed out her nose, before she sucked in greedily, practically gasping desperately.
Every muscle on her well-toned, battleridden figure bulged, rippling tensely under her battered coat as though she were on steroids. Aside her tail swished, whipping at the swift arrival of a blood-sucking pest. Rather than stopping entirely and feeling her legs throb from the excessive use, Ragnfridr eased herself. She broke from a gallop down to a canter, a trot, and finally a walk.
But then, her new captor called. While she didn't turn to look, a harked ear did swivel around and listen.. Despite being a stubborn and very bull-headed mare who would dominate any other living being the second she was given a chance, she decided to heed his call. She tossed her head, her mangled forelock tossed and fell in a tangled mess, and she peered through the dark strands of her mane's jungle with her one good eye.
Ragnfridr, unlike the rest of her siblings, had not been born blind to her left eye; she had danced with her own death as a yearling. A tan cat with snarling teeth and wicked claws. The thought sends a chill down her spine, and with a little bounce to her step, she turns quickly, and approaches the colorful stallion whom had rightfully claimed her. She keeps distance, though close enough that they could touch noses should they extend their necks.
She doesn't offer hers. She waited.
Quietly.
Wordlessly.
She was sizing this experienced male up.
