The Unlikely Brothers

Still haven't got my tablet Dx

The birth had been a tough one. Unexpectedly, the bay thoroughbred mare had birthed twins, making a certain breeder regret his decision not having done an ultrasound on his mare during her pregnancy. Both of the colts survived the birth, but the birth took a heavier toll on one of them. He was noticably smaller and frailer than his brother, and had a hard time standing up in the beginning. The vet was summoned, and after examining the foals he declared that while the older one was perfectly healthy, the youngest would never be quite as sturdy and would need careful care to live up to his potential. 

The lovely, leggy blood bay thoroughbreds lay weak and shaky in the stall after their tough birth. Vivienne found herself on the floor with them, in her expensive cream pencil skirt which was now covered in dirt and blood. She was given the task to look after the first foal while the vet helped receive the second. Their mother, a sweet bay mare, was drenched in sweat and was breathing hard with the effort of delivering her unexpected second son. Vivienne was a nervous wreck through the entire birth. She was not really the type to give in to worry, but something about these two pulled her heartstrings. They were her boys. Her colts.

:star: Vulcan :star: The one standing up in the pic, the bigger and healthier one of the two, also the oldest by a few minutes. He is a well-behaved colt but still has a ton of energy and will most likely be trained for eventing. 

:star: Zar :star: The one lying down, and the "baby" of the brothers. Because of a birth defect he is a sickly and frail. While he is able to survive on his own, he needs care and attention to really thrive. Not the type of horse to excel in high-level shows, but rather a calm, allround riding horse. 

They have a close bond and because Zar is often bullied by other horses, Vulcan stays around him to protect him.
