Story:

The story of Bella Luna's life is not always a happy one, She was born into the most loving family in the world. Her father, Trigger was a very kind and strong stallion who was the older brother of Spirit. Trigger decided to let his unborn brother become leader of the herd so he wouldnt have to kick his brother out when spirit reached the age of two. Her mother, Winchester boulevard was the most gorgeous arabian anyone had ever laid eyes on. she had a genetic mishap where she was VERY tall, standing 16.1 hands for an arabian. Winnie competed on the devon circuit, WEG, and eventually the olympics never getting anything less than first in show jumping. Despite all the attention she still made a point to sign any young children fans autographs first, letting them pet her and ride her after the show. She escaped one night after being retired and stumbled into the Appalachian herd of whom Trigger was the leader and it was love at first sight wich led to the birth of Luna.

Luna was on her feet withing five minutes, the sign of a strong horse. And running around like crazy in under 10. Before she even tasted her mothers milk she had managed to jump her first log. But after only a month of life, tradgedy began to follow her, causing her great pain. She and her father were out having a running lesson one day when the calvary unexpectedly showed up, Trigger rushed at the Colonel who was attempting to catch luna (but miserably failing) and caused him to fall off. The colonel then shot her father in the head, killing him instantly. Luna wasnt allowed to stick around and mourn her father, she ran back to the herd telling her mother what happened and they got the herd on the move. two days later they arrived at a small lake, her mother was grieving the loss of trigger heavily and luna was heartbroken. soon a cougar attacked Luna, cutting her down to the bone on her withers. Her mother jumped in and fought with the cougar, killing him. But her own injuries were to great and she passed away peacefully by the river, joining trigger in that big paddock in the sky. Luna was in shock, she began to run, run away from her past. She ran for almost 10 hours straight, trying to run herself to death so she could join her parents. She ended up passing out right outside the border of the cimmarron territroy from exhaustion and loss of blood.

Spirit and rain (who had a foal around eight months before) were doing daily patrols around the border of the territory when they both smelled somehting funny, -the colonel! they rushed to their northernost border where the huge forest was, both looked frantically for him and eventually the smell led them to the banks of a large river, the same one rain had almost died at. There lay the most innocent and pretty little filly, but her prestine coat was stained with sweat, dirt and blood. Rain rushed over, immediatly heartbroken at this. Spirit joined her trying to offer her comfort and rain began to cry over this little filly who had obviously fought so hard. Suddenly luna drew up her last bit of strength, nearly killing herself and rose her head, she said

(Please, Please miss. dont cry over me. ) and attempted to lick away rains tears, she wasnt thinking of her own health but the sorrow and pain she now cursed this young couple with. Her strength failed her and her head fell back, rain caught it and cried some more. She told spirit they had to try and save the filly, to take her back and find someone to adopt her, and spirit said that they were going to adopt her.

They named her bella Luna, after the beauty of the full moon that was shining on the night they found luna. Rain believed it was the power and life of the moon that kept luna alive that night, because there was absolutley no way Luna shouldve survived thoose first two weeks. Luna had been conscious through the whole agonizing process, but the life of the moon and the love theese strange horses showed towards her gave her power, and suddenly she had purpose again. Bella luna was a fighter, she possesed a fire in her that was even more spirited than Spirits! she didnt give up, she fought off the pain and conitnued living for her new parents. She would never let anyone down again, she promised she would never let anyone die for her again, never again. 

Luna was able to stand with help from another horse after three weeks of rest in the cave that spirit and rain lived in, somehow she managed not to loose any of the muscle she had gained in her 10-hour run, making her strong enough to run after a month of healing, her story began to go around the heard and she became known as the little filly who lived, she had already beat all the odds and still showed compassion. her new parents were amazed at how the little filly had recovered and it inspired them, esperanze knew it was a miracle and was shocked at how similar her nature was to striders, in fact their personalitys were almost identical.
