The light of late summer bathed the field in a warm glow as the large horse stood patiently, its dark coat rich against the vibrant green. A thick, cream-colored mane framed its face, almost concealing its features. The air was still, with just the occasional rustle of grass as the horse shifted its weight. In the distance, the dark roofs of houses peeked out amongst the trees, adding a touch of civilisation to the pastoral scene. A simple fence divided the meadow, an unassuming border in the wide open landscape.
