The suns luminescent rays basked the snow blanketed plains, making the brisk air just a little bit warmer than normal. Dish sized hooves thundered across the plains, snow tossing up in his wake. If it were summer, the grasses may be up to his chest, but today, they were suppressed beneath the weight of the snow. The gentle giant pushed on the breaks, slamming his bodice to a full out stop. He turned, swiveling on his right hind foot, then launching across the plains at a gallop. His legs gathered beneath him, then lunged out to gather the ground and release it again.
Wind tossed his mane, and whipped his tail out in a weightless fashion. Abruptly he cut his run short, slowing into a slow trot, to a gentle walk. Upon seeing the great shire, one may think that he was slow, a lumbering beast that had no wind in his sails. But when he ran, he covered the distance in long strides, not as fast as the thin legged beings that seemed to dominate this land... but fast enough to carry him the distances he must travel. A large, roman nose, shoved into the snow, turning it up to reveal the long since deceased grass. Lips pulled from ivory teeth as he grabbed a hold and ripped it from the ground.
There was a side affect to his weight and size, it meant that he had to eat and eat until his belly was full. Food transferred to energy, and energy meant a much longer run. It also transferred to fat, and fat kept him warm in cooler temperatures.
