"Back off! You can damn well walk until you lose some weight!"

As a young foal, you took great delight in galloping around your wilderness home, thrilling in the speed and exertion. Always curious, you quickly exhausted the avenues of exploration that surrounded you, and quickly became bored and listless. Sure, there was always companionship in your herd, but the constant gossip was tedious. There had to be more to life than gossip, running and eating vegetation. At a herd gathering, wise old equs would often speak of the strange creatures that walked on two legs without falling over, and the many sights they saw when with them. In the end you decided to see for yourself, and left to wander into the strange realms of these two-legged beasts. You quickly found these fascinating beings, and often allied yourself with them for the sake of adventure, travel, and mutual support. You have carried several on your broad, strong back, but they strike you as terribly weak and easily tired. A small price for the experiences you've had. Still, you have always been careful to whom you speak, for many of the frail little two-leggers would be too eager to exploit your potential as a curiosity. The gossip in the various stables has proven fascinating, your two-legged companion pays for the food, and at least the stables are usually warm and sheltered. Such luxuries! You even understand something of the various two-legger cultures, because many of your stable brethren have traveled far and wide. Well, it's time to travel again, and see a few sights. Perhaps that individual over there would provide a good companion? Who knows, you may even deign to talk to him?
