Welcome to Gaia! ::

Espowye's journey began five years ago as a foal in the tiny Indian village of Dikota on the great river of the wind. The wise indian chief, Swims with Great Fish, was looking for an animal to lead him through the wild at night, and the brighteness of the morn - never fearing what lay beyond. Yet none of the stallions suited his need, they were vicious animals with fire in the belly and untamed. He wanted a gentle, and soulful creature.

He'd all but given up hope, when one day one of his member's fillies gave birth. Immediately, he noticed the unusual blue smudge along the back of his neck. He announced that this animal would grow into a gentle spirit, and had he been born human - possibly would have taken Swim with Great Fish's place upon his death. He said "He has the spirit of an elder, the soul of a child and the eyes of the earth!"

Espowye grew up to become his constant shadow, never leaving his side - even as one day the chief was alone in a blizzard. The brave stallion remained by his side all night as the wind whipped across his own body, he sought to protect the man he'd grown to love. It, unfortunately, did little good.

But, from that point on, Espowye was reverred in the company of the other natives of the band, he was never ridden again and always treated with respect. Thus was the story of the wise Espowye.

Since I currently reside in British Columbia and Faerierain/Amber resides currently in Montana - I thought it only appropriate we have a spot for this showing the native roots in both our areas.
