Megatron Megatron Megatron!!

Megatron is a bully. He has been since he was a colt, the last picked of his group of foals. They thought gelding him would make him more docile, remove the testosterone. It didn’t. He was aggressive with other horses, trying to be the top horse no matter what. He even bullied the stallions in his yard.

Onto now, his barn was having a sales event. Folks from all round the province came to look at their beautiful horses, to use them for a number of things. Country people, dressage people, and general horsie people. Toucan and his husband were here today, mostly looking, but debating about grabbing a new horse. The sale consisted of many beautiful horses, some with great conformation that would be perfect for halter showing, others with great musculature that were definitely very strong ponies.

They looked around the whole stable, all the ponies for sale, yet none of them caught their eye. They were walking out back, around the owner‘s personal pastures, they saw a gelding on his own, the other horses who dared to get too close intimidated by him, and chased off. He immediately captured his husband‘s attention.

Megatron trotted over, interested in the people standing near him. He held himself high, despite his short stature. His gait held confidence, like he was going to scare away a predator. Megatron nickered as he got near to the fence, sniffing Toucan and his husband. Hubby offered a treat, just one he’d had in his jacket. Megatron took it, obviously a greedy horse.

„Isn’t he beautiful?“ His hubby said, admiring the geldings white markings.

„He is… he looks like a bully though.“ Toucan replied, the gelding sniffing for more treats.

„Greedy too. I wanna see if they’ll sell him.“ His husband replied, scratching Megatron‘s forehead.

„You sure? What would he be used for?“ Toucan inquired, wondering what his husband‘s aim was with this pony.

„Not fully sure, but he’d at least be a pretty boy.“ He laughed. „But hey, he could be mine. You and the kids all got a pony.“ He smiled, scratching the pony‘s forehead. He didn’t seem like an attention hog, but he seemed to like it. His husband fed him another treat, the pony seemed to enjoy them greatly.

„He seems to enjoy your company.“ An older woman said as she walked up behind them.

The two men perked up, looking back at her. The pony prodding Toucan‘s husband‘s jacket, looking for more treats.

„He‘s pretty greedy for someone who’s enjoying my company.“ His husband joked, smiling wide, half at the woman, half at Megatron, „Is he for sale, by chance?“ His husband inquired, it was obvious what answer he was hoping for.

„I‘d have to talk to my husband, though, we tried to sell him while he was a colt and he was too hard headed to be sellable.“ The older woman explained, Toucan and Husband nodding, understanding Just off the aura he had with the other horses in the pasture. The woman seemed to be judging them, seeing how Megatron had seemed to choose this man.

„Too bad we weren’t around when he was being sold.“ He replied back, Toucan nodded softly along. His husband had fallen for this horse, they had more than the money to afford him and a Mare that would be good for a breeding program, and his husband deserved a pony who he’d get on with.

„Certainly. How about I go get my husband, we’ll make up a deal. He’s better off with someone who he’ll be happy with.“ The woman smiled, as Megatron‘s nose pushed into Toucan‘s Husband‘s pocket, pushing his phone out and finding another treat.
