Flashabelle & Santana's Moment
The two fillies were already at each this morning as they came out onto the track which seemed deserted. Kate and Jess smirked at each other. " It seems the fillies have chanced everyone off this morning." Flashabelle, Kate rode her, was nipping playfully at Tana who tried her best to ignore it, but in the end she gave it she squealed before nipping at her once more. Belle was a beautiful black filly who was all fire. Kate loved her deeply and was one of her favorite mares to workout and ride in races. She had been having a pretty decent season this year, but she needed a bit more work. So they had been working hard on the gates and even her traveling, getting her use to different tracks and running styles. Kate had also been working with Tana as well, seeing that she bought both the mares from the same place and they had grown to be running mates now. Jess, another female rider at East Coast stables, was beginning on the ranch and doing rather good with Kate as her teacher.
The fillies continued on a few more minutes before Kate drew Belle away enough so they they couldn't touch each other any more. " So, we should probably do about thirteen furlongs. Its Belle's max and its a good medium for Tana." Kate said before sliding down her goggles to go over her eyes. Jess smiled and nodded before doing the same and then turning to look out before them. Shortly off was the gate they used at the track for workouts and different trainings. It was something Jess had to get use to, but soon with Tana, they were exploding out of the gate together. It had been part of Kate's training. Coming upon the gate, Belle and Tana entered with ease. The gate never really worked them up much, so this part was easy. The jockeys began to ready themselves before signaling the gate keeper that they were ready and then the gates shot open. Tana was the one who gathered the lead quickly as Belle liked to be a closer anyway. They were thundering down the track, around the first turn, settling into a good pace; a fast pace. It seemed these horses had more than a workout feeling, they were running to rival each other. What each stable mate should have. They came around now and the pace was quickening. Kate didn't know if Belle would be ready for the end since they were pushing each other so damn hard, but she knew she would. Belle loved to race against Tana so as they finish line came into view and Tana began to pick up speed, Belle did as well. Jess and Kate began using the whips and urging them on. They were now right next to each other and fending the other off. But it seemed Belle had a bit more energy, as she hadn't led the entire way and so as the finish line came, it was Belle's nose that snug the workout.
