Update was fantastic, this is a great work and you are a talented writer! There is only one tiny thing that bothered me in Ch. 4 and feel free to disregard the rest of this comment but as a horseman who did his main thesis on the genetics of horse coat coloration it will forever bother me when terms are mixed up. A chestnut horse would never have a black mane and tail, that would make the horse a bay, as chestnut horses by definition have manes and tails the same color as the rest of their coats. And I know it is silly, and they did the same thing in Dragon Age: Inquisition and it bothered me then too, so like I said you can ignore this because you really have done a wonderful job with this incredible story of yours! (I just really love horses, forgive me) 🐴
