Excerpt from Missing in Action, A Sequel To Jadon and Gabe: The Not so Saintly Horses
I wandered down several dirt roads that have a layer of river bottom gravel covering the surface. I stopped to nibble the tender green native grass along the side of the road. I realized that it was now very dark and I only had the glimmer of the moon light to go by. I spotted an opening in a fence and eagerly climbed though relieving my painful abused hooves, from the harsh gravel. I felt a sight rumbling of the ground beneath my hoofs. I didn't think that central Texas had earthquakes, but I could be mistaken. As the rumbling got stronger, I was able to see a huge shadow soaring toward me with immense speed. A trail of steam poured from his nostrils, and he had horns as big as Texas sticking out of his head, they alerted me that I was about to get gored by a gigantic bull, if I didn't act fast. The closer he got the more the earth below me moved. I was splattered with slobber and felt his breath on my neck as I leaped out of the way, just in time. The bull turned.

Pretty cool, don't you think? I'm looking for my pal. His name is Gabe and he is a horse, like me. He is a....oh, about this tall and with an attitude that leaves a lot to be desired. Have you seen him?"
"A horse? ha, ha. You must be joking. A horse indeed. Do you really think this looks like a place that would have toy horses? Do you have a genetic defect? You look like a horse but you also look like a toy, something to play with. Come on over here so that I can throw you around. This might be fun."
"Sir, I assure you that I am full grown. I have all of the same qualities of a regular size horse. The only difference is that I am a miniature size. My buddy Gabe is also a miniature horse. Have you seen him?"......
