That is so terribly sad for Ginger, I feel so bad. I'm sort of torn, I know that mustangs sometimes need to be brought in because there is not enough forage or water, and some will die of starvation or dehydration, but, also, I know how much freedom is to them. It's their life. If I had an adopted mustang (Phantom Stallion: Sam and Ace) I can only imagine how much they would mean to me, and if it weren't for the round ups' "evening out" the wild bands, (assuming I had an adopted mustang) I wouldn't have my horse. Meaning I wouldn't have my best friend. Now I know they probably value their freedom more than a friendship with a human, because they were born in the wild, always seeking protection and safety within the herd. But, I still can't help feeling the way I do. Torn. Amazing. That is so terribly sad for Ginger, I feel so bad.

I don;t like the fact that humans are always made the villians, although some horse people can be cruel. I’m going to agree with I’maCowgirl.

But all the same, it's not what happens during round ups... (Though, maybe in a few illegal instances) It just feels wrong to me to have the humans as the 'bad guys' all the time. Like only a few girls really understand horses. Which isn't true. No, humans are not perfect, we can, and do, do many things a lot of us aren't proud of, but sometimes us horse girls tend to overlook the many good things that happen to horses because people have done wonderful things to help them. I'm not criticizing you Vi,or any other horse girl who is inspired to write these wonderful stories. I encourage you to continue! I just don't want to see the lines blurred, ya know? Vi, the emotion in your stories are great! Keep it up! Very well written!
