A small colt was at the horse sale. His mom was sold. The colt couldn't go after his mother. A drunken man wanted the colt so he got into the ring with some other friends. The men held him down. One man roughly took the colt to his home. There was another horse next to the colt called Zoey. The man left and his son Albert came and loved the colt. Albert stroked the colt’s fur and talked softy to it. Albert named the colt Joey. Albert and Joey happily grew up together.One day Albert’s father had a bet that Joey could plough for a week without giving up and if he didn’t he’d sell or kill it. Albert was sad but he had to do it. Albert’s father was always horrible to Joey so one day Albert’s father was about to hit Joey with a stick then Joey kicked him. Albert trained Joey so he didn’t get sold or killed.There was a war coming. Albert thought of joining the war with Joey. He said they'll be good fighters.
