This is my contest entry for :iconthe-spirit-of-spirit:'s contest, where we had to take one of the background horses from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and give them a name and a history. I took the middle pony from this screenshot - [link] I know the Indian ponies were going to be popular, but I couldn't help it! I loved this one! I put a heck of effort into this one, even watching Spirit to get ideas for the background! Anyways, that's enough from me, here's Adonado!!


:star:Name: Adonado (means 'spirit' in Cherokee)

:star:Breed: Mustang

:star:Gender: Mare

:star:Age: 4 years old

:star:Personality: Kind and loving, Adonado is a very brave and strong mare, even though she looks small and harmless. She's very wise for her age, and the young foals love to listen to her stories at night before they fall asleep.

:star:History: Adonado was born into a wild herd, her mother looked after her, and she never knew her father. She loved to learn about anything, and would often creep off into the forest or down to the water to explore. One day she wandered into a Lakota village, intrigued by the humans and their ponies. Rather than running away, she stayed with them, learning new things each day. After being captured by the Colonel and his men and then returning, she taught the young foals and even the elders about the strange ways of the other humans, and how lucky they have it in their village. To this day, Adonado teaches everyone, and some herds come from far to listen to her wisdom.
