DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything in this fic. If I did, I wouldn't have been able to write this. I was barely able to write this the way I did. I have never read The Legend of Sleep Hollow, so this is not a pony version of it. I just thought it needed a full story. I take no joy in this.
The Headless Horse
A long time ago, a rich stallion named Foster Trotter was decapitated in the Winsome Forest by highway stallions. They were planning on stealing the treasure chest he was carrying in his wagon, but unfortunately for them, the chest proved too heavy for the four to carry by themselves. They decided to bury it until they could get others to trick into helping them pull it to their hideout before disposing of they chose to help them so they wouldn't have to pay them.
They were unable to complete their task. Law enforcement found their bodies in the pit, no treasure chest to be found. The body of Foster trotter was never found, nor was his treasure chest. All that was found was his decapitated. which had rolled into a bush.
The body of the headless head is still said to roam the Winsome Forest, still looking for his head. A few years ago, three teen ponies were camping in this very forest, looking to party and have a good time. They just thought the story of the headless horse was an old pony's tail
However, one of the fillies got separated from the others, and was unable to find her way back to their camp. Scared to trot around in the dark alone, she did not want to move a hoof off the path and tried not to wander too much. Suddenly, she heard a loud whiny accompanied by gurgling sounds that seemed to come from somewhere deep in the throat.
At first she thought she had just heard the river raging, but then she realized she was a good distance away from it. Suddenly, she noticed a headless figure galloping towards her, But it was too late.
The other two mares were getting worried, so they began to look for her. They found her body on the trail, not too far from their camp. The other two panicked and ran down the trail as fast they could.
They found a cave, but were unsure if they should hide inside of it. Suddenly, they heard the noise of somepony trotting quickly behind them. Turning, they saw it. THE HEADLESS HORSE!
They panic and scattered, one ran into the cave, the other ran into the woods. The Headless Horse pursued the one in the woods, and ended up driving her head first into the river, where she hit a rock.
Morning came, and the pony in the cave had thought she had survived, when she turned around and saw… THE HEADLESS HORSE!
