The fact that she was so young when it happened probably had something to do with it. A lot of people said she overreacted like a spoiled little filly, but we don't know that she WASN'T one. They seem to be thinking from an adult perspective and coping skills, but she was just a little thing back then. We can't even be sure that Sunburst wasn't the only pleasant thing in her life as a filly and that she actually had a good, adult role model to help teach her said coping skills.



If she didn't have a great foalhood to begin with and Sunburst was the only positive thing she had, then it would make sense that her entire world came crashing down on her, ESPECIALLY if she never had good adults to help her through it.
