did i see a puddy tat? i did i did!

Man it felt good being back on the track where races were run week after week. The track where many horses were made into legends. The track where there was a great family atmosphere along with an edge of competitiveness. The track that felt like home.

Melanie was smiling from ear to ear (which was very uncommon for the head strung redhead). It just felt so good to be back on the GHF track. And races were going to run in full swing to end off the season that never got to be finished due to the accident that fell upon the GHF track. It had been a tragedy but now it was open for business again.

Her mount was feeling the excitement in the air as well. Jazzman, our oldest stallion at 4 years old that was still racing. This season might be his last so Akita Rose Stables was determined to let him shine. Melanie stroked the excited stallion's neck and felt him shiver beneath her. He knew that a race was coming up whenever he was on this track and he was definitely excited. It has been a long time for him.

Melanie looked around the track and was surprised to see only a few riders. The track was normally bustling with activity. Mind you, it was the opening day after all and not all the farms where close by, and they would all have to transport their horses this morning so they could very well be running behind schedule.

Ah well... Melanie steered her mount towards the turf track to work Jazzman. He had a few turf races coming up so Kirsten's orders had been to work him on the turf. She wasn't too specific on what they were going to do yet so Melanie looked around for any competition that might arise.

The competitive feeling was running wild in her veins. It was something about the track... possibly. That would be her excuse anyways. She was just as itching to race as the stallion beneath her felt.

She urged Jazz into and trot and he surged forward energetically. He was raring to go.

Sarah Star and Lawliet's Girl

It had been a while since we'd been here to train and race. Just over a month ago, a tornado had ripped through Green Horse Fields and caused a fair bit of damage to the racecourse. Luckily, no one had been hurt. But the clean up took a while, so the races were canceled until the officials could be sure there was no dangerous debris left on the track.

Lawliet's Girl was excited to be back. She stamped the ground and tossed her head impatiently, waiting for me to get on so we could get out there. The four year old was a picture of fitness and health, today putting in her final workout before the Full Moon Derby this weekend. A loud snort sounded right in my ear, bringing me back to the present. Haha sorry, let's go. I said with a chuckle, having been lost in my reminiscing. I lead her over to the mounting block, and vaulted on lightly and athletically. Feeling pressure from my legs on her sides, Lolly sprang forward into an active trot, heading straight for the turf.

Rising quickly to the beat of her strides, I glanced around the track. It wasn't as busy as I expected it to be, considering this was the first day horses were allowed back on the grounds and that there was a big meet this weekend. Up ahead, I spotted a black stallion, and quickly recognised him as Jazzman, from Akita Rose Stables. We caught up quickly; the other horse and rider were still walking, and broke into a trot just as we approached from the side. Lawliet shivered with excitement. She wanted a race.

Hey, mind if we work with you? I asked with a smile.

Jazzman

Jazzman had flicked his ear to the right before Melanie even heard anyone approach. She turned to see the owner of Green Horse Stables nearby. She waved and allowed room for the horse and rider to join them. Naturally she looked at the horse instead of the rider as they came towards her. Melanie grinned when she recognized Lawliet's Girl. "Sure you may join us! Wow, I know we haven't been out long but Lolly has really filled out."

Melanie bit her tongue, hopefully that hadn't been rude. She was known for being too outspoken. "I meant like with muscle... since the last time I saw her..." She turned red with embarrassment. She was just digging herself in deeper. Of course it had to be with the owner of one of the biggest name race horse stables around. Kirsten would have her throat if she caught wind of this.

ooc: haha i'm confused. Is she saying Lawliet's Girl has gotten fat or muscly? lol

Excellent I smiled again. It was interesting that Melanie knew my horse's nickname. I suppose she must have heard when she was around GHS when she was jockeying Lusitania last year.
