Only a single day had passed since Alder's fierce scolding. Terra had it very clearly drilled into her head that the horses weren't to eat. Their purpose still seemed fairly cloudy to her though. Riding them was all fine and good, but there seemed to be no need for that. A wolf could travel as fast as a horse, and for longer periods of time as well. Alder's words about treating them as equals still had her cracking up on the inside whenever she thought about it. It had made the coyote very curious what made horses so special.
She had plotted her movements very carefully, making sure that Alder was away from the barn before slinking towards it. Whether or not he had forgiven her Terra knew that her presence in the barn would do nothing but panic the horses that had finally been calmed down. Sure enough, as soon as she slipped through the door the horses began to make a racket, remembering the fiery little predator that had tried to hunt them down yesterday. Terra snapped her teeth as a horse reached over to nip at her. Growling slightly she tried to figure out what made them so important to the members.
