In the wild and open fields,
Where shale rocks lay revealed,
A young horse with a spirit bold,
Yearned to break free and be bold.

With reins held tight, he galloped fast,
Feeling adrenaline, a rush that lasts,
The wind in his mane, he pushed ahead,
Onward he ran, no fear or dread.

As the sun set and darkness fell,
The horse grew tired, feeling unwell,
Exhausted and weak, he slowed his pace,
But his heart still raced, a wild embrace.

With night vision, he navigated through,
The darkness that surrounded him anew,
Till at last, he found his way,
To a place where he could rest and stay.

And in the morning light, he rose once more,
With energy renewed, ready to explore,
The world that lay beyond his sight,
For a wild horse like him, the adventure was right.
