Estefania Was the Spanish Horse

Estephania was the Spanish horse, with a chestnut coat and mane and a lighter long tail...and she ate alfalfa for strong teeth and bones. She was domesticated, losing her liberty and neighing she showed keen ability: to spot dangers on a perilous path... Estefania even stopped for a stranded cat. In summertime she fed mostly on grass, but bees stung her many times to protest, and struggling to get them off her tail... she hit a shrilling raven in the head. And feeling sorry for the dying bird wincing, Estefania licked his semi-open eyes...giving him a little comfort as he folded his wings; and whinnying she wept a river of tears.
