FIERY TOUCH AND KRYSTAL YHATE

It had become necessary to take this filly out for yet another workout for her upcoming start, her second attempt at breaking her maiden. The two year old was unsurprisingly difficult to handle, but Fie was a bit more difficult than some. Yes, she was definitely a better ride than Lynara's Kingdom, who had somehow managed to break her maiden on the first try without Amber being bucked off once, but she was the daughter of Touch Up, the fierce stallion that had sired The Devil's Touch. Thus, her blood was full of hot heads, and admittedly Fie was one of the better ones compared to her half siblings. She at least was sweet half the time. But today, things had been different. She had been absolutely clamoring to move, and Krystal had decided to take her out for a workout.

But as impromptu workouts usually went, Krystal had no workout partner. Perhaps one would join her? Fie certainly needed the competition. The bay filly was swinging her head up and down, side to side, and had already made two attempts to grab the bit. Krystal was having an unusually hard time riding her. The presence of another horse might just calm her down...

White Chocolate and Sky Webber

Popping back on the track with the most wonderful ride I have ever had in ages. I loved the filly so much and her racing talents were coming out. Especially from a broken down filly, and now she was a champion. Today was just a gentle exercise since she wasn't scheduled for a workout yet and I don't know when she would be needed one.

Gently taking her along the track, I allowed her to breeze for moment, the filly knew the drill and even though she wasn't workout today. Suddenly she picked up a scent of another horse and whinnied loudly. I allowed her to go another rider and pulled her up gently.

"Hello. Do you need a racing partner?" I asked her politely

Chocolate was eager to show the youngster the robes and what talents to learn. So much for a quiet run around the track, I waited for the other jockey to reply back.

Krystal noted with interest that a horse and rider were approaching them. Good, we get to ride with another horse after all! Fie appeared to care less about the mare's approach; she was more focused on hitting the dirt with her hooves and getting ready to run. She was completely in the zone, ignoring the presence of everything going on around her. Krystal certainly didn't mind the change after Fie's previous, youthful attempts to run with the bit. Perhaps she should bring her out more often to the Green Horse Fields racecourse, rather than the quiet, serene SOPS track. But back to the matter at hand! Krystal noticed that the mare was definitely not a juvenile - no juvenile could be so well formed! She assumed it was an older horse - and all the better, too. Fie could learn a thing or two from her elders, especially because her last maiden race had been dominated by them.

Yeah, I'd love some competition! she replied enthusiastically. By the way, I'm Krystal Yhate, and this is Fiery Touch, or Fie. We were thinking about doing a quick little workout, nothing too long. We could make it into a race easily, though.

Sonja had not done badly in her first start, coming in third and providing herself with a solid foundation upon which to build. In fact her jockey, Jacob, had been proud of the bay for doing as well as what she had. Like most of the stables two year olds her bloodlines were unknown and her talent was therefore likely to be the foundation for the stable's bloodlines when she was retired. Which was good, especially if she was to come out on top in a few races during her career. Hopefully, though, it would be more than a few. But with such a temperamental and difficult filly it was hard to predict how she would perform throughout her career.

Following being moved in preparation for race day she was in a bad mood. She was in unfamiliar surroundings, surrounded by unfamiliar equines and faced with the prospect of another race. As much as she enjoyed racing the competition always set her on edge and caused her to be awkward. As such it took three handlers to lead to strong and willful filly when they reached the track. She tossed her head, fought them hard in order to try and gain control and with only a little space she was able to rear, the handlers quickly backing off as she kicked out. Jacob, not expecting it, fell to the floor with a crunch and cried out in pain. But he was soon back on his feet, dusting off his trousers.

"Christ, Sonja... You need to calm down." he muttered.

I patted Chocolate's neck and he stood calmly enjoying her day off as she didn't have to worry about racing this time. I heard a problem with a horse rearing by the look of things a young filly, could be just a year old on the track. I was glad that Chocolate wasn't like that.

Nice to meet you too Kristian. I am Skye Webber, and this is White Chocolate. This was just going to be a breeze workout. But we came give you a little workout, she is no maiden, but she is great breezing partner. I spoke to the other jockey. I hope that rider is ok though.

Turning Chocolate around for moment, I trotted to the guy. Excuse me sir are you ok? I kept Chocolate away from the hooves of the other horse, as I didn't want her hurt or get in the fight. Do you want to join in a little racing workout? Maybe that would calm the filly down. I am Skye webber, this is White Chocolate we are from teh Gelli Aur Stables. I spoke to him and waited to see what say and that he like to join in as well. Chocolate wanted to run, she pawed the ground with leg, making the dirt fall over her back legs as she was a little bored right now.

Krystal followed White Chocolate and Skye Webber over to where a horse was acting up. Running her eyes over the filly, Krystal did not recognize her, so figured it would be a good idea to find out who she was. Fie reacted slightly to the filly's antics; she became a bit more hard to control herself, as though feeding off the flames of energy just shooting out of the other horse. Krystal held her seat firmly, too experienced to get unseated just by a horse like Fie, and watched with interest as the obviously strong willed filly was released. As Skye extended an invitation to join in their workout, Krystal finally decided to join the conversation.

Hi, I'm Krystal Yhate, and this is Fiery Touch. We ride for SOPS. You guys are welcome to join in. Looks like she could definitely use a workout to blow off some steam she said in a friendly voice. How long do you want to go for? she asked Skye. Fie and I are up for anything.
