Monument valley for all its beauty is a harsh environment for those who live there. It doesn’t rain much here and consequently the grass is difficult to find and sometimes you don’t find it at all. This horse herd spends all of it’s waking hours searching for it and when they find it isn’t all that nourishing.

This colt is new to the herd and isn’t old enough to figure out that these are tough times. As far as he’s concerned every days a Sunday in Monument valley. When he’s hungry all he has to do is find mom and the magic udders and he’s home free.

But sometimes there is a problem. Mom is doing her best to make milk but that takes grass and if she doesn’t find enough the well goes dry. Two Sides tries this side only to find there is no milk at the inn.

Undeterred he knows another place that is open and he races to get there before he can’t stand being hungry one more second. The second side always works.

Success and he loads up because he’s got running around to do and that takes energy. Right now he looks as good as he will probably ever look as it won’t be long and he’ll be hunting for grass just like the rest of the herd. Then it’ll be time for some hard lessons.
