History: Aspen was born in the cimarron herd when Spirit was the leader, it was located in the woods the day she was born, the weather was terrible, it was raining heavily and a thunder storm struck causing the herd to be scared. When the herd had heard about the new arrival of a filly, they all came to see her, even Spirit and Rain did, Rain and Spirit thought that Aspen would make a perfect mate for their son.

Her father was a rogue stallion who travelled around many herds, seeking to make his own, but after he mated with her dam, he decided he wanted to leave, but Spirit never permitted her dam to go with him, so she gave birth without her mate. Her family reputation was just an ordinary family, but would change if Aspen became the heir's mate, then they'd be more important. After her mother died during the thunderstorm, Aspen was raised by Spirit and Rain, she enjoyed spending time with their son.

When she was 2 years old, she was ready to choose a mate, Spirit and Rain's son was always trying to impress her but she paid no attention to him, she decided to leave the herd to try and find her father, this meant that Spirit and Rain's son had to find a new mate. Aspen ventured out into the wild, but in only a few days, she was captured by the cavalry, isn't everyone at some point?

Aspen was trained to the max at being a cavary mount, but she was too strong to be broken, even to the colonel. So the colonel decided to get her to pull the train to the cimarron's valley. She was an expert at this, with her strength and was able to pull faster than any of the other horses who always tried to catch up, she was the best train puller that the cavalry had seen for quite a while.

Then, before she was out to work one day, she saw the cimarron herd race by, at that moment, many thoughts passed through her mind, like, who was her real mother? She knew it couldn't be Rain if they wanted her to be the mate of their son, every night she kept having recurring nightmares of the night her mother died, she couldn't remember too much, but saw it and wishes her mother was still alive, and why was she with the caalry? She didn't know the answers to any of these thoughts and just lived with it.

Right now, she's still in conflict with the cavalry, wanting to break free and run with the cimarron herd once more, she missed Spirit, Rain and even their son, she'd give anything to be back there. She is both scared and angry at the cavalry because she wants to go home but she's scared that if she fights the cavalry, she'll be beaten or whipped... (more to come!)
