Her daughter stirred at her side, peering curiously toward the fresh colt. Fancy whickered gently, touching her muzzle to the girl's sorrel shoulder- an indication to stay back, and let the colt have some space as he began his first, but probably his most important battle.

up you go, up you go.
Croup and hip, up they tip,
up you go, up you go.
