In my book King of the Wind the main character, Agba, gets his horse Sham, sold on to a carter. The carter uses Sham for pulling a cart of lumber. Agba spends a several months looking for Sham. When Agba finds Sham he is in really bad shape. Agba spends every night with the horse. Then one morning after a snow/rain storm the carter loaded to wagon to full and Sham couldn't pull the wagon up the little hit to the street. Sham's feet were sipping on the ice but the carter didn't care he just kept whipping Sham. The whip was leaving cuts in Sham's hind. Then Sham was so worn out that he just fell to his knees and the carter pulled on his rains to get Sham up put he wouldn't. Then an English man from London bought him.
