White Chocolate & Skye Webber
Workout for the Just Dance Cup

The racing season haven't been kind to our stables lately. But that's the way it goes sometimes. We have some nice horses around our barn which look great to be champions one day. It was dawn now almost five in the morning. I got my clothes on as the most beauitful mare ever to be born was waiting for me to come. First I checked to see the track was empty, as I didn't want any accidents to cause her to lose her spark. Seeing it was clear, I went to get the mare. White Chocolate was beautiful and it was horrible about her past.

Slowly I saddled her up and led her towards the track. Once by the gap, I jumped on her back, so to avoid new people getting nearer her and to upset her more. I never use a whip on any horse I ride. Encouraging her to trot, and then I lifted myself upright, as she cantered some more so her muscles weren't as tight anymore. Once she was warmed up and unloosed, I got her forcus.

She was an excellent sprinter and was going to do 9 furlongs today as the race we have entered was in that distance. She already managed 8 furlongs easily, so we decided to try her on 9 furlongs. Given her a little nudge with the reins began to push her into a gallop to get the stride even. Already she was hugging against the rail, which was her favourite position. Her stride was more even now, as she settled into her chosen position. Finally the final two furlongs, I got her to break, and her real speed came to light. Her legs stretched longer and her speed accelerated more, it was amazing. She was certainly ready for the race, and I was really please with the workout she gave. Pulling her back to a canter, so she still had the stamina left for the real deal. I then got her down to a trot and then walk towards the gap, just in time for the other horses to come onto the track. Handing her back to groom, I got ready for my next workout horse for the stable.
