Rise To The Challenge, To Fall At Death!
Summary: When Joey is at the Cavalry Base. Sort of based on both the book and the movie ha... So Joey spins through his early life and to now where he is trained to be a top Cavalry Horse, here he meets Captain Nicholls, Lieutenant Waverley and Major Stewart. His life becomes difficult when both he and Nicholls are hit charging at the Germans. They rose to the challenge, to fall at death!
AN: I read I small bit of the book today, and wanted to write this ha... It feels kind of right for me to write this because this really did happen a lot and i wanted to try make this story seem more real, not that it wasn't already but I wanted to change it a bit. I am afraid to say this will be more than one chapter :( ha... Please do read, it should be a good story but that is up to you to tell me haha :) enjoy and review! (Disclaimer obviously applies to all later chapters as well!)

It was a cool, crisp morning as the Devon bred, red bay thoroughbred stallion Joey was led into the Cavalry Base in England. The new surroundings seemed to spook him. The tall buildings, the many men in green uniform, many staring horses, all different colours and breeds. Some stocky, some more sleek and slim, some grey, some bay, some black, it was all so strange. Joey's big brown eyes scanned the place... Looking at each individual horse. So strong and well worked. These horses made him look inferior. Made him look small and weak. But he was none of the sort. He had muscles but these horses were something else. As he walked along the cobbled ground he seemed for feared than before.
Next thing you knew he was on his hind legs, rearing up, his nostrils flared, eyes wide and fear filled. When his front feet hit the ground he pulled away, rope flying round his strong neck. He flew across the cobbled ground, heading forward, or at least he thought it was forward. Soon a small, angry, round man stood out in front of him, arms in the air, which could scare the poor creature further. This man's name was in fact Corporal Samuel Perkins. Now he was a stern man, always good at his job. He stood for no nonsense and was feared by both man and creature and Joey soon realised why. Joey stopped in front of the man threatening to rear up again, but he grabbed his rope.
"Wow, now Joey. Good lad come on." he said to Joey as he pulled him to the sables.
It was a massive building, well swept and always clean. High roof and hundreds of stalls. He led frightened Joey into the stables and into the only empty stall left. It was a big roomy stall, already lined with straw. He led Joey in and gave him a reassuring pat on the neck and walked out. As he locked the door a new set of footstep entered the barn, who's they were, Joey didn't know but by the look on Perkins' face it was someone of a higher rank than himself.
AN: So new story! First chapter done :) I have worked hard on this :) not my best work but meh... What can ya do sometimes lol. Please review. Thanks :) All Welcome
