Thanks royaleagle! , I wrote a story called "13 Horses". It is about a 13 year old boy who receives a stallion for his birthday from his Dad. It is a parable about confronting our emotions and feelings, so please see part 2 for the explanation. I'd love to hear feedback on it.

My uncle used to train horses with force, and always told me that you had to make them listen to you. I never could, and maybe that's lead to some bad bites and a broken foot, but I wouldn't change it. Thirty years later I went to my uncle's farm and he was as gentle as can be. He said it took years to learn that a horse may listen, but until they trust you, you never fully realize their capabilities. Good post.
Thanks so much for reading it, here part 2 which explains the symbolism. The story is really only secondary. https://steemit.com/writing/@giddyupngo/short-story-13-horses-explanation-part-2
