Spring had finally arrived in the rolling meadows of Southern California. Applejack had just finished his evening meal when he heard the neigh of a small horse. Quickly, Applejack stood up and began galloping around the side of the barn. Smoke filled the air as the slight glow of flames engulfed the neighboring barn. The faint image of Little White Horse, a new-born colt, burning in the flames made Applejack shudder. The neighs for help were becoming softer and softer as the flames grew higher. Finally, Applejack sprang forward like a majestic stallion. When he entered the blazing building Applejack glance around and saw the colt curled up in the corner. Applejack kicked dirt on him as a sign to let him know to follow. Both horses hightailed it to the door of the barn. Showing extreme speed, Little White Horse quickly put a large distance in between he and Applejack. As Applejack followed the colt out of the exit a large part of the barn door fell on him. Applejack neighed for help as he was pinned to the burning sand. Little White Horse returned and helped move the fallen pieces off of Applejack, and they both sprinted towards the meadow. The next day as a sign of honor Applejack was branded with the mark of the hero. The burning sensation on his hind parts is what inspires him to scratch his hand parts on the fence post on this very day.
