It's good, but I don't think it's the kind of story that interests me too much. I like animals, but it's just not my preferred genre. But, that's just me. Keep up the good work.

this was okay...one thing is your word choice: "A lithe muscled shadow", "life-filled eyes", " strong, muscled shadow", "echo-filled"...it just sounds awkward. you're a bit repetitive, you use words like "propel" and "shadow" a lot. the biggest thing was that a cougar wouldn't attack a fully grown and healthy horse. A kick to the face could easily kill a cougar, and weaker, sicker, younger animals would be much more realistic prey. A horse also wouldn't stand and fight because their instinct is to get away as soon as possible. I know it just a story, but these are just my observations...not bad, but i know you can do better.

very descriptive, a good read.
