Snowbush looked down at the newborn white foal, What am I going to do with you? thought the medicine mare. Then she got and idea.

There was a pretty large blizzard going on out side, so Snow Herd's over-stallion, Whitewing, had moved the herd to the mountains for shelter. None of the herd had stayed, except Snowbush's adult twin foals, Skysong and her brother Riverbush who stayed behind to watch over their mother and the now dead mare who had just given birth to a dead black foal, and the live white one.

"Skysong, Riverbush, come here!" called Snowbush, "I need one of you to hide this foal in the woods, and live there until the foal is an adult....."
