Almost hard to believe these two were inseparable as colts. But as stallions, Strider sees Pacer as a rival and throws him out of the herd. The attack comes as a surprise to Pacer (he didn't even know Strider was mad at him). Pacer refuses to strike at his brother, so he leaves the Cimarron valley and Strider inherits it.
I had to extend Pacer's mane and tail because he has this massive mane and tail that the whispy puffs of hair on the Spirit characters don't have.
