Vacation was getting close to the end when April noticed something happened to her... She started to feel more submissive, docile, and... Started to look over stallions. She was in heat!
She was glad they noticed it and kept her away from stallions. Being mounted would risk being pregnant, and that means being stuck over a year as a horse, something she couldn't let happen. But maybe once... No, she can't think like that! She should sign up for different kinds of services and pay for being infertile, she would do that if she knew she'll be a mare. 'After all, that might be an interesting experience', she thought. Maybe next time.
But the time they were to take her back was getting close. She wasn't sure if it was 4 weeks... She could bet it was even more, which scared her a little. But counting days as a horse wasn't easy. Finally, she hears "Okay, time for you, girl" as someone takes her away. She tried to not show too much happiness when they separated her into the different enclosures, then one close to the parking.
After an hour a trailer arrived, but... it wasn't for her. She could already smell what was inside. Soon they lead a black stallion from the trailer. Her caretaker Elise with the other workers were leaning over the fence, April trots to her and nickers stressed, Elise says "It's ok girl, I know you need it" petting her muzzle. "We paid $20k for her, she needs to earn her stay" the other one guy says. Elise was looking a bit sad about it but knew this is how things go here.
They were putting the horse into the enclosure. He instantly caught the scent of a mare. April neighs and trots away from him. No, this wasn't what she wanted. She paid a massive amount of money for a safe vacation, they had a perfect rating, no negative comments last 5 years! This couldn't happen to her! She was promised to be kept safe!
Seeing no other option, she tried to paw the ground to write HELP. But as she tries to write the horizontal bar of H, she suddenly stops, she just whinnies and turns her back to the stallion, who snorts puts his muzzle under her tail. Damn, she needed him...
But then she trots away again. 'What happened?' she asks herself. It was like she was completely mindless for a moment. She looks around for a possible escape but sees none. "Easy girl, I know it's your first time, but... You'll love it" Elise says. April could just look at her scared. Tries again to act suspicious, shaking her head, trying again to write something on the ground, trying to show somehow that it's not what she wants, but again her body takes control, standing in place and lifting its tail.
The stallion didn't need more. He rises his forehooves and puts them on April's rump. That's where her mind could work again. This time she realized what happened and in what situation she was.
It wasn't a 'horse show', assigning horses to a 'shelter stable' should never look like this. She was sold on a market. Like a common animal. Or Livestock Inc. volunteer. There had to be a mistake. And now she can't even notice anyone, as the safety implant, or whatever, took control over her body every time she started to act suspicious. That's why even Livestock Inc. didn't have any negative opinions, no scandals.
There were probably hundreds or thousands of people trapped in animal forms forever against their will, like her. Or regretting their decisions about leaving behind humanity. They weren't brainwashed, as April could still think and act for herself, as long as it was allowed by the protocol, still being aware of their stupid decision. But they could never make a complaint. She could still escape the stallion, mares could do that, could reject them. But now that she is trapped like that, is there even any reason to?
