An Equestrian History Lesson

This is one of my first stories, and its only purpose is to practice writing, so please don't attack me if you don't like it. I ran into some serious writer's block since what I usually write is a lot less than a thousand words, and if it seems rushed, cheesy, unedited, or just plain terrible to read, leave a comment and tell me, so I can fix it. Also, feel free to give the story a thumbs up or down if you think it deserves it -- I won't freak out or anything. Thanks and happy reading and writing. (Sorry that this message is a chapter instead of an author's note. My computer is being weird, and frankly, I really need the feedback if I ever want to get even halfway decent at writing in the first place)
