MANDATORY - An Unexpected Mishap

Story:
Draven and Kaida had returned from Ciwi Sun Stables with the new stallion, Achilles. Draven was pleased that the air travel didn't stress Achilles too much, and found himself eager to show the stallion off once they got him back to Blood Moon Stables.

They had a little difficulty loading and unloading him from the trailer, which was to be expected. After introducing him to the rest of the staff, Kaida insisted on leading him to his new pasture. As they passed the mares' pasture, Achilles shot his head up, pulling on the halter. Before Kaida could realize what was going on, he reared, pulling out of Kaida's grasp, and galloped towards the mares' pasture.

"He'll have to stop at the fence, we'll get him there," Kaida exclaimed, rushing after the stallion.

Achilles neared the fence, but didn't slow down. Bunching his muscles, he leaped over the fence, clearing it by a good foot, and landed in the pasture. Soyola was closest to the fence, and looked over curiously as the stallion landed gracefully in front of her.

"Call the rest of the staff! We have to get him out before he covers all the mares!" Draven instructed, running toward the fence.

The staff were eventually able to detain the young Achilles, although it was fairly evident that he had already covered at least Soyola in the time it took for them to get to him. Draven shook his head as the stallion was once again led to his pasture; well, at least they knew what his discipline would be.

Artist's Note:
Bwaa, I don't know if I'll be able to get the rest of the images out by the deadline tonight, but I'll try. I've been having a bunch of things going on here, so this challenge kind-of slipped off to the wayside. o.O

Anyhoo, I thought that a stallion getting into the mares' pasture and covering one or two of them would be an interesting sort of mishap, so I ran with it. Bad Achilles, making little foals :P

Oh dear, it looks like we both might be expecting little half-Kaimanawas sometime next year. It's funny that the two mares are both Friesian blooded too :)
