Dreaming Of Glory ridden by Jaymee-Leigh Smith

[/u]

Glory was alive and kicking this morning! It was early, and in Jaymee's opinion, it was a little too early for Glory to be throwing her around the way she knew he could. Glory marched down the sand track which led out onto the dirt track. The ground was crisp and the cold morning air blew softly around Jaymee's ears. She pulled the zip on he fleece right to the top, covering her neck and ears. She shivered a little, but knew that Glory would have her warmed up in no time. Glory lept out on to the track, tossing his head violently. He jogged down the centre of the track, eager to go. Jaymee wanted some competition for them to run against today, in preparation for Glory's upcoming race in The Wire Finish Cup. She figured that early morning would be her best shot at finding someone willing to run with them. Glory made his way impatiently down the track, stamping his hooves in the dirt, leaving deep indentations after him. Jaymee scanned the track, looking for other horse and riders. It was a little foggy so she couldn't see right around the track, though she did think that she could make out another pair a little ahead. She urged Glory forward to catch up with them.

^{Out on the dirt, Evie had already breezed Leo through the stretch once after a quick warm up. He was ready to rumble as they cantered steadily round the turn. The grey colt snorted as he saw the chestnut colt catching them up. Evie heard something from behind her and pulled up to see who it was. It was Jaymee Leigh Smith from Oak Hill Farm. Smiling, Evie turned Leo around and waved. Hey! She said. Fancy working with us today?}

Glory soon caught up to the pair ahead and Jaymee quickly realised that it was a pair from In Stride Racing. Jaymee slowed Glory and they pulled up along side Evie and her horse. She smiled happily as Evie suggested they work together today. Sounds great! Glory was growing impatient as they walked by the side of Evie and Leo. He was eager to get going. He pawed the ground and tossed his head. Jaymee held him back as Evie and Leo kept to a walk. After a moment though she thought that she would get the pace going a little and allowed Glory forward into a trot. He was forward going and ridiculously bouncy. He covered the ground quickly and acted very competitvely towards Leo. He repeatedly edged forward, gaining ground on Leo.
