History:

Spartacus was born in the Cimarron herd he didn’t get to know his mother as she died shortly after he was born, he had no way of surviving and then this mare adopted him and took care of him.

Spartacus find it very hard when he was growing up he didn’t have a real mother like the rest of the foals within the Cimarron herd and that he didn’t have many friends as the foals would always tease him and that’s why he sent most of him time as a loner.

One day while Spartacus was playing in the prairie this cougar had sneaked up quietly behind him in the bushes he watched his prey for a couple of minutes as Spartacus was walking back to the herd the cougar jumped out of the bushes and clawed him on his right side on his dock and his right side on his cheek.

Spartacus neighed in distress as he was in pain, Spirit raced over and saw the cougar trying to attack the young foal again and Spirit chased him off and went back to look at his wounds and saw how deep they were.

Spirit took Spartacus for a walk and left his mother Esperanza in charge of his herd until he returned home, Spirit had taken Spartacus to the Lakota tribe where Little Creek lived, Spirit noticed Little Creek in the distance and neighed out to him, “It is good to see you again my friend” he said and he showed him Spartacus’s scars.

Spirit knew that Little Creek would look after him and he shortly left after that and returned back home and that was the last time he ever saw his young orphan foal, Spartacus stayed with Little Creek as he tended to his wounds, when Spartacus grew older he played with him and that Little Creek tired to have him as his new horse but deep down he knew that would never happen and that his spirit could not be broken.

Spartacus stayed within the Lakota Tribe until he was 2 years old, as a content reminder to what happened to him when he was attacked by a cougar he was left wondering if Spirit wanted him to return home or not. Spartacus roamed the Wild West and whenever he would see the Calvary men on their horses he would go and tease them and try and let them catch him but they never came close to getting ropes on him.

While he roamed the Wild West he found the most amazing places to start his own herd.

Sometimes Spartacus would sneak up on other stallions and try and steal some of their mares for his herd, he would fight stallions to the death just to try and steal their mares and that he takes some of them but they later return back to their normal herd but some do stay with him.

Spartacus wants to find a mate and hopes that she will also become lead mare and that he’ll always be kind and caring towards his mate and foals.

(More to Come shortly when he gets a mate)

  Relation to SSOTC: Attacked by a cougar at the age of 8 months, Little Creek nursed him back to health within the Lakota Tribe until he left at the age of 2.
