A horse was thrashing in the water, desperately trying to keep its head above the flood.
I spun in place even as the horse thrashed and screamed, briefly sorry about the waste, but knowing that survival requires many distasteful things.
Then the horse sank a bit into the cinders and ash and thrashed for a moment in confusion.
The shot echoed back from the hills, fading and crackling while the horse thrashed in its bloody death throes.
Saw Diar fall free as the horse rolled on the ground and thrashed in its death agony.
The horse was thrashing and bucking in the high reaches of the air, lashing out with her hooves.
Somewhere to his right a horse thrashed and a wounded man screamed in agony; but the sounds seemed strangely overpowered.

The horses thrashed in their stalls, disturbed by the battle, by the scent of blood.
