^^ new ref coming soon ^^
Sparrow was a prized halter quarter horse filly. Her dam and sire were both recognized in the show community and were both worth a lot. So when it came to their offspring, everyone had high hopes. From her birth there was a great deal of training and pressure to do well in shows. When she was just a two year old she was invited to a prestigious breeders competition in Australia. Successfully winning the show, Sparrow was full of pride when she was on her way back to the mainland. That night they flew through a tropical storm and the plane malfunctioned crashing into the ocean. Sparrow swam with all her strength until she was unconscious. When she first awoke she could only remember the sound of the waves hitting the shore, the repetitive noise hurt her head. Then she slowly opened her eyes shocked to see a dark stallion looming over her. After her panic attack, she followed him into the bushes and further into the island. She clung to him at first, not independent as she had been at home. Sparrow always believed that her parents and owner would one day come for her and she would once again live in the life of luxury, but months and years went by with no one coming. A little depressed she sought comfort from Forrest and he gave it to her. She fell in love with him and his awkwardness, and even more upon learning of his past. How hard it had to have been that to this day he blamed himself for what happened. The two now inhabit the island as their home and live on the plains above the springs.
