Prologue

I remember,it was a sunny day in April with the spring flowers blooming. It was time for the new foals to be born.

My mother Happy Plane whinnied in pain as she laid down on to the ground. Our owner Allie walked up to her patting her slowly "Whats wrong girl?"

My mother was in labor with me,Allie looked over her shoulder and called for trainers. Two of them-Sarah and Franc came running towards the pasture.

"Happy in labor!" Allie told them in a soft yell "They coming...Jayho's foals...are coming".

Jayho of course was my sire,he was a champion beyond champion,no horse could ever be compared to Jayho...expect maybe my own mother...

After what seemed like hours I entered the world,I was a pretty palomino filly with a blaze on my face.

Allie seemed like it was love at first whinny for her,she pet me softly "Good girl...my good little Nala".

She named me Nala for she says it means 'gift' and I am a 'gift from heaven'.

I nuzzled her softly..though really I was just hungry,my mother was beaming with pride. The trainer bought over my father to have a sniff at me,he was the most gentle stallion. I nickered at him and we instantly developed a bond which will never be broken.

As I laid down on the soft pasture grass I knew a lot was gonna be expected of me,for my mother was known as Wonder Mare she won 65 races and ran the same amount.

I closed my eyes and dozed off,one day I will be a great champion...

But I have a lot in my way
