Hidalgo (Outlaw’s Saga)

Hidalgo (1896 - 1935) was a Mustang horse who served as Jonathan “Jon” Wallace’s trusty steed all the way from 1899 to 1932 until his owner died. He became Samuel Wallace’s steed after Jon’s demise until Hidalgo’s tragic death in 1935 at the hands of some gunmen.
== Biography ==
=== History ===
This mustang was born sometime around 1896 in Arizona. He was raised on a horse ranch until his owners were either murdered or they abandoned him as well as their ranch, leaving the stallion to fend for himself.
=== 1899 and beyond ===
While wandering the desert trying to reach the southwestern territories, Jonathan “Jon” Wallace stumbled across the abandoned ranch where the horse was left. After investigating, Jon discovered him, malnourished and abandoned. After petting him, he mounted him and took him in as his own, naming him Hidalgo, after the Mustang horse that raced in Arabia years prior. Jon then rode back to New Austin atop of Hidalgo and from then on, served as his trusty steed across southwestern America.
=== 1932 ===
By 1932, 33 years into the future, Hidalgo was still alive but had aged considerably. Despite his age, he was still capable of riding and running. Jon rode Hidalgo into the Grizzly Mountain range for hunting, only for his owner to be murdered inside a log cabin by former 7th Generation cult followers in retaliation for killing their leader. Jon’s eldest son, Sam, who was sent out to find Jon, having disappeared hours ago, found Hidalgo still outside, hitched, only to walk inside and find his father’s corpse.
Two days later, Sam attempted to mount Hidalgo, but kept bucking him off as he did not accept Sam as his new owner initially, still mourning his old human. After Sam calmed him down and heartbrokenly told him that Jon was gone and not coming back, Hidalgo relented and allowed Sam to mount him. From then on, Hidalgo accepted Sam as his new rider and carried him through America, just like his father before him.
=== 1935 and Death ===
During a large shootout in Saint Denis against the now-corrupt police department, Sam attempted to get Hidalgo to ride him to safety, only for the old mustang to be shot underneath. With no other choice and with gunfire flying at him, Sam was tearfully forced to flee and leave a bleeding out Hidalgo to die. After this, Hidalgo was presumably put down by a SDPD officer.
=== Legacy ===
Hidalgo’s efforts were acknowledged in history as in a sketch, it showed Jon riding Hidalgo.

== Trivia ==
* Hidalgo is a rare exception for domesticated horses who live past the age of 33, exceeding his lifespan until he died around 1935 at the age of 39.
* In real-life, horses can only be ridden until a certain age where they begin getting old. All the way into the 1930’s, which are Hidalgo’s senior years, he was able to be ridden. This is purely fictional however and used for plot purposes.
