A hiss filled her ears then closely finished with an echoing growl as the small filly spoke to the stallion. Her question about what it was caused her to sharply turn her head "Its a mountain lion" she snorted "Get behind Bailey" she insisted as she looked at the lion. Letting out a nicker she lifted to her back hooves and kicked out her front legs in a rear as she let out a threatining neigh. She had encountered many of these before and she knew how it may react or not, the white mare then stomped her hooves against the ground sending blades of grass up in the air as another deathining neigh escaped her muzzle in order to scare off the lion. She knew its first target would be the small foal as she was the smallest and probably the easiest target, but what the lion also knew was if it attempted an attack on the foal the larger horses would defend it and more than likely crush the lion. Her stern gaze then placed in line with the lion as it continued to snarl her hoof stomped against the ground once again as she urged slightly forward as if it was a threat, her tail flicked behind her as she swung her head around moving her man from her face, her head slightly tilted to the side as she looked at the others nodding her head. Her attention sharply turned back onto the lion as grass bristled whilst the lion slightly moved, a snort escaped her maw as she reared up once again then bucking as she continued to let out a deathning neigh. "Not today" she muttered to herself as she began to have a face off with the lion, although she wasn't the leader of the herd and it wasn't in her power to protect them she would do all she could to protect them as they needed the small herd to stick together no matter what.
