What’s with the horn?

How great was this!  Uni Corn had been accepted into Throughbred Academy for this school year.  It was such an honor as only the best of the best were accepted to enter the best school in the country for jumping and running.  From here, many had gone onto the Kentucky Derby!

As Uni signed in at registration, she saw others staring at her.  Yet her excitement was more on her mind than others.  She continues to her dorm room.  Cool!  A place to store hay and a great water cooler!  What more could she ask for!  Down the hall was a grooming station with people on call 24/7.  Oh yeah, this is a great school!

Shortly, Uni’s roommate arrived.  She was gorgeous!  A long curly mane, braided tail, a real throughbred!  Uni nozzled her as a way of introduction.  Yet this new horse, showing no interest what-so-ever, turns her head to the side. Uni now begins to wonder about the stares and the rude behavior of her roommate. What could it be?

For the next few days, similar things happen in the dining hall, classes, and dorm. Finally, Uni asks her roomie what is up.

“Are you kidding?” she says. “Haven’t you noticed that you are the only filly with a HORN!”
Uni was crushed. Could people really being judging her by her horn?!

Determined to prove all the others wrong, Uni jumped and ran like crazy. Each night she cleaned her horn so it would glow. When the others stared, she simply stared back. Soon they started to turn away as she approached.
Then one day, she decided to confront one of the coolest fillys during lunch.
“What is your problem with my horn?” Uni shouted.
“How dare you speak to me! Shoo! Be gone!”
“Not this time! I have every right to be here! I can jump and run with the best of you! You are simply snobs!”
The first filly just continued chewing her hay, but the others were listening too. Each day for a week, Uni noticed more and more of the horses nodding at her as she passed. Maybe standing up for herself was right! She started holding her head higher and pranced to classes.
Shock of shocks, on the next Sunday, as Uni entered the barn for lunch, the cool filly appraoched her.
“I guess the others are right. Having a horn doesn’t make you wierd. Maybe we can go to practice together today.”
From then on, Uni never let others judge her by her horn. It just made her special!
