Morning sun. It came too early. She grunted and rolled over on the soft bed mat upon the stall floor. Her body was sore despite the warm bath that was supposed to help relax her muscles. She could only groan and push her self up slowly. The gag kept her from voicing any louder complaints.

“Good morning Snow Caballo.” James' cheery voice greeting her as he opened the stall door. “You look sore still. I shall rub you down before your vet visit. It wouldn’t do to have you stiff and cringing in pain when he comes. Or..have you looking so..messy.” noting her rather mussed hair.

If only she could say something. Instead she glared. James simply chuckled and attached the lead rope to her halter.

“Come forward Snow.” Giving a gentle tug at first. “Snow Caballo will listen or I must become rough.”

The girl pausing. She tensed and fought the lead rope momentarily. James sighed and tugged harder. He wished that she would simply listen so she could avoid all of this pain she was experiencing because of her spirit.

The other horses already being tended by other workers. They were being fed and it disgusted the girl to watch it as she was pulled by them. She tried to stand again but the quirt met the side of her arm.

“Caballo only stands when her trainer orders it.” The sting of the quirt only making his words sound more harsh so they sunk in better. “To the table, Snow Caballo. You will eat after I get you groomed. And if you behave when the vet comes..I may let you walk.”

Still no change in her behavior. He had to pull her onto table. Absently, she sighed and closed her eyes when her knees met the soft cushioning of the padded foam. They, like the rest of her body, were sore. Humans weren’t meant to ‘walk’ on their hands and knees.

“There we go.” Fastening the restraints on her wrists and then her ankles. “Now..” James pulled his key up from his side and unlocked the strap piece that held the gag on. “Some water..I am sure that Caballo is thirsty.”

She coughed and closed her mouth. The girl worked her jaw open and closed. With that, she had yet anther very sore part to her body. James chuckled and pulled a water tray out.

“If Snow Caballo would learn..I wouldn’t have to keep the gag on her.”

Pulling, struggling with mind and body. Being thirsty, hungry and sore weren’t her only problems. She had another very pressing problem making her tremble. She began to speak but cringed and winced back as soon as he raised the quirt.

“Very good..Caballo is learning.” He set the quirt the down and began to brush her out. “I bet Snow Caballo also has to go for she has not gone in her stall and did not go outside yesterday. When I let you down I shall take you to your stall and show you where you are supposed to do your pony business.”

Gasping, looking over her shoulder at him. James motioned to the water, as best he could, with his head. Her eyes still widened in shock. Reluctantly she turned and leaned down to take a drink from the water pan. She hadn’t had anything to wet her throat since the meal from last night.

It helped one situation but also didn’t help her ‘other’ pressing situation.

“Such beautiful mane..” Braiding her hair now. “I shall pin it back again for you, Snow.”

He had become quite proficient at braiding like this. The girl tiredly sighed and closed her eyes. The urge to speak lost to exhaustion and a sore body.

“We shall tell the vet of your achy joints, hm? He can give the good pony a medicine to help..” finishing up the braid and beginning to wrap it in a bun. “So you can train better for master.”

She cringed and shook her head. That person wasn’t her master! The girl’s eyes opened and she glared at him.

“N..” Gasping, her back arching. “Nah.!”

The slap of the quirt from the side made her turn quickly. It wasn’t James. The worst thing imaginable met her gaze. It was Giovanni.

“Horses do not speak.” Giovanni set the quirt down. “The vet will be here to see her in an hour, James.”

“Yes sir.” James nodded. “She will be ready.”

“Such a beautiful Pony..” His fingers stroking along the girls cheek. “My Snow White Caballo.” Giovanni wrapped his fingers around the halter. “She will listen..or be punished.”

“I believe she is learning already, Master. The pony only needs to work on her anger..” James ran a warm sponge over her body as he spoke. “Once the Caballo learns to control her anger..she will be good.”

The girl’s eyes on Giovanni. He held the halter and she glared at him with new hate in her eyes. Giovanni merely chuckled and let go of the halter.

“I will be outside with my other ponies, James.”

Walking off as he spoke. Giovanni humming happily. The girl trembled and clenched her teeth.

“Down we go, Snow Caballo.” Undoing the restraints and lowering the table. “Now I shall show you where to do your pony business.” James gave the lead rope a gentle tug. “Forward Caballo.”

Another back step for James. She fought and pulled backwards. Once again she tried to stand but this time, he let her. Both her knees popped and she grunted.

“I will let you walk..You will be on the exercise lead anyways. Ponies can..be on two legs..but..know it is a reward and Master only keeps you on all fours, at first, to show you he is the master.” Pulling her forward. “Stretch your legs slowly.”

New tears hurt her already red eyes. She had to brace herself against the wall to keep from falling. James eased himself to her side and helped her to stand. The act surprised her.

“Not all is bad if you know and keep your place, Caballo.” James helped her to get the circulation flowing in her legs. “There..one step at a time.”

She bit back words. Only the red of new humiliation spoke for her. That red darkening when he stopped at her ‘stall’ and pointed to a corner drain.

“There..now go on..I know you must go.” He felt confident enough to just hold the lead rope. “It isn’t healthy to hold it in, Caballo.”

“Indeed.” A rather chipper voice came from behind him. “So this is the new mare. Quite beautiful.”

“Doctor Gentry. Welcome..and yes. But..we weren’t expecting you for at least an hour.” James nudged the girl forward. “Go on Caballo..”

She turned briefly to see the man that James was speaking to. He was older, in his late forties to his early fifties. Salt and pepper hair swept to the side and a very gentle smile graced his face. His eyes not nearly as dark as Jams’s or Giovanni’s.

“You heard him. Go now..James was right little pony. Holding it in is very bad.” Gentry motioned her to the spot with his hand. “You could get very sick if you don’t and then I would have to give you all kinds of shots to make you better.”

The girl still didn’t move. Yes it hurt but they were just standing there and watching! She kept her gaze down and did her best to ignore them. The thought to speak came to mind briefly in those moments. Maybe if this ‘vet’ knew she had been kidnaped, he would help free her. Then again, he might know and when she spoke, she would get hit. A girl could only take so much of that quirt at a time. And she had her fill between all of yesterday and this morning.

“I shall go and prepare the table. See to it that goes and then bring her to the medical room.”

The vet walking off. He wasn’t really an animal vet per say but he made a fortune in this business as a pony girl vet. He liked his life style. Being a regular doctor didn’t pay like this. James nodded and turned to look at her.

“Do not make me force you Caballo.” Walking past her and pulling on the lead rope. “Come forward.”

He would coax her to go. James knew how to handle ponies and most, like her, were shy to do THAT in front of people. Their ‘human nature’ was still too strong.

“Ah, haha..welcome little pony.” Dr. Gentry smiled and patted the table. “Come..come..Your master wants a full check up done on you.”

“She is still a bit shy and not completely broken. But she is a good Caballo and..learning swiftly.” Patting her back very softly. “Come Caballo..”

Letting her walk again. They couldn’t keep them on all fours constantly. The body, the legs had to be worked. Plus, in the pony girl world, there were such events that involved only being on two legs. And sometimes, carrying riders was done on two legs.

“Gentle yet firm, James.” Giovanni stepped in. “Pull her..do not let her command the lead rope.”

“Welcome Master Giovanni.” Gentry smiled and looked at him. “I checked your pregnant mare already. She is doing well.”

“This is good news.” Giovanni nodded to James. “Get her on the table, James.”

“Yes sir.” James sighed inwardly and pulled hard on the lead rope. “Forward Caballo.”

Finally coaxing/forcing her to the table. James had to make her get to her hands and knees. Giovanni and Gentry distracted by conversation between them to notice the struggle too much.

“Now still yourself, Snow.” The locks clamping into place around her wrists and ankles. “I promise it will go quickly if you behave.”

“Are we ready?” Gentry turned and put some sterilized gloves on now. “Lets see..You want a full work up, yes?”

“Yes.” Giovanni nodded. “Blood tests..the works. I also want to know if she is a virgin or not..”

“Should I go and help tend the other horses for now, sir?” James asked.

“Go on. I think Sassy lady needs a morning workout still. Hook her up to the cart and have her do a few laps around the riding arena.”Giovanni instructed.

“Yes sir.” James set the quirt off to the side. “I’ll go right away.”

Leaving, never questioning. Gentry chuckled and stepped closer to the girl.

“He is a good stable boy..and will make a strong master one day.” Looking over her form. “Anyways..she looks extremely healthy just from her appearance..no unnecessary fat to work off. She is very shapely and beautiful. You have a real prize here.”

“That’s one of the many reasons I wanted her.” Watching the doctor work.

The girl struggling, and pulling against the halter when he grabbed. She hadn’t spoken yet. She was just now getting to where the previous smacks didn’t sting. Pain was a good motivator.

“Lets see those teeth.” Gentry forced a rubber piece into her mouth to make her open up. “Oh my..”

“What?” Giovanni was suddenly worried.

“Oh..no. It’s good. Her teeth are beautifully straight and white. This pony has over all good color to boot. I think she had some good care takers before you.” He knew she probably wasn’t a pony before this but money talked. “Now..to see if you’re a virgin.”

“Don’t break her hymen if she is..I want to..keep her that way for a while. At least until I completely break her. And given her spirit..that will take a few months.”

Gasping, tensing up suddenly. The hand at her bottom and pushing inside her made her start to thrash her bottom. Giovanni lent a hand by grasping her hips for the doctor and holding her still. The girl powerless against two of them.

“S..s.” She hissed back in pain.
