Hi, i'm not sure if someone's posted this before, but I couldn't find it. So in Spirit, when Spirit's in charge of the herd, there are two foals, since he seems to be the only stallion in the herd (That we see) does that mean he's the father of them?

its up to you,the movie isnt 100% like real life (if it was spirit would be at the back and the lead mare leading)


and jack - horses can breed from the age of 2 (in fact stallions will) and spirit clearley says colt to stallion meaning hes over 4

I think that they are foals of a mare who joined the herd when they lost there own or something, because spirit always says, "At least the herd and my mother were safe." He only refers to the others as The Herd, other than his mother" You think he would have said -at east my foals are safe- But he doesn't. They are not his I believe.

I always thought foals were his, but you are right, wouldn't he mention them separately in this case? Good point.

I also noticed this,..Anyone ever think of the other foals,.."Spirit's child hood friends or,...whateverthey are."

I notice they are not there before when Spirit covers the herd in snow, and there also not there during the icicle scene.
They are not around when Spirit is born,..??? Wheredid they come from?

We could guess who their mothers might be, by color,..but not really,...
And another puzzling thing,..when they are frightened by the Buffalo,...you see them run back to the herd,..
To their mothers? NO!

To Esperanza!
They hide behind Esperanza! Why? Perhaps it is that she is the lead mare or something?
I do not know.
But I believe they came from anther herd, were adopted,..there mothers' brought them from another herd,..etc.

But here is another thought. Here you can clearly see grass,..GREEN grass. Which might mean it is Spring! Because in some places, Snow hangs around for a long time in the spring, but things do melt. So they could have been born then,..but they do not look any younger than Spirit,...And they probably would not be Strider's foals,...So who knows who they are?
