She would grow her herd as big as she could get it. Stallions, mares they were all welcome so long as they listened to her and contributed one way or another to the herd. Most herds had a lead stallion who protected the herd nad used his seed to make more. Where there was also a lead mare, they usually lead the herd to water and food though sometimes the stallion could dictate where they go. However; Shaydowfax chose to make herself have the final say in where they go. She was the queen of these Dunes and she was not afraid to make it known. She would fight anyone she met and even if she lost here and there she would always come back with a kick.

When he agree's to her terms she slightly relaxs and dipps her head. Good, it will be good to have a full grown stallion aroundShe says. One reason was Kalona could learn a lot about leading from herself but not really learn about a stallions roll in things.So having Bjorn here could give Kalona a roll model to watch. Her ear flicks back to her son.He is Kalona, my son and heir if he chooses to take over the herd when my time has passedShe said calmly. Of course she wouldn't force her son to do so it would be his choice in the end.

Come there only one spot really that is good for grazing and has a decent water holeShe said.its where most of the herd usually isShe said and thats when she turns her hind end toward the stallion and begins to lead him over the dunes. Kalona eyed the stallion a little longer before following his mother.Momma, is it smart to let a strange stallion into our home?He asks trying to keep it quiet. Shaydowfax huffs at her son.Quiet Kalona it is my choice to let him stay. You have nothing to worry about because he'd have to go through me to get to you or the other herd members now hushShe says.
