Whip Up The Dancing & Lumiera
The sixteen hand stallion strutted out onto the track with all power underneath him. His reining head was held high about, dark orbs dancing to fix on the world around him. Prancer's entire bodice screamed that he was dominate, all powerful. It was seen as he strolled out onto the track, dancing upon the turf. His dark bay pelt was shimmering under the rising suns rays. Ebony hooves seemed to skim over the ground as he suddenly shook his head, sending a bit of slobber flying. Prancer was rather worked up which was good on the rather warm morning. Kate smiled softly before patting his neck. Of course, she kept a strong hold on the reins as to make sure he didn't start running already. Kate wanted to see what he could really do, so she attempted to keep in what energy she could of his. Sighing deeply, she peeked over her shoulder to see if Prancer's running mate was coming and there she saw the three year old filly being walked by a pony hand. Kate almost thought about having one for Prancer.
Lumiera, known as Lilly, strained against the pony hand. The filly clearly wanted to run as soon as her hooves hit that turf. Justin had felt the excitement as soon as they had come across the track. It seemed this filly was going to be a handful, but he loved it. He was beginning to love this mare from the outside in. Her beautiful bay coloring with the ivory white stripe that went down her nose. The pony hand began to trot with the mare and Justin began to post as well. As pony hand brought Lilly next to Prancer and then released the filly. Justin had been ready and he was quick to tighten the reins a bit. " So, thirteen furlongs?" Kate said, her voice rising to ask a question. Justin nodded and then nudged Lilly into a trot, almost canter. Kate soon did the same thing with Prancer who was pulling more on the bit than Lilly, it seemed. However, Kate had ridden every horse her father owned and so she was use to many different kinds of horses and their running styles.
They continued this pace around the track till they came to the gates. A few hands helped to get the horses in and then the jocks readied themselves. It wasn't less than ten seconds and the gate shot open. Both horses exploded out of the gate, but Lumiera gained the quick head. Prancer laid back a bit and stalked behind her about the place he would be in in a real race. Mid pack. They continued racing, pace rather fast as they cane barreling around the first turn and into the second. The thundering of hooves and the quick breathing was all that filled the jocks ears as they rode. The horses power underneath them seemed to light a fire in all the beings around. As they neared the tenth furlong, the pace began picking up. As they came around the bend, the jocks showed the whip and urged them on. Suddenly, Prancer was coming up upon Lilly who was picking up speed. However, she had led the whole race and Justin wasn't sure if she would be able to fend off the powerhouse Prancer. Kate continued to urge him on, pushing with her hands. Now, they were side by side and neither wanted to fade. However, as they came to the finish line it was Lilly who wore off first and Prancer drew forward to take the lead and cross over first. A smile appeared on Kate's face as she slowly pulled Prancer up. [/center][/blockquote][/size]
