Wasting some time [Open]

Black Magic & Ty

It was summer. Ty was able to live through the spring, while his lovely filly been acting up most of the days. As young as she was, Belle had to learn many things about the world, as she was still learning. Nobody could blame the young thoroughbred, as her age wasn't very old, but still very young and then some didn't understand how she worked, or moved peacefully at times but the thing people thought was dangerous a tad bit about her, she jumped at everything nearly and spooked easily. After work with Belle, Ty was able to understand how she could think, move and even work hard. Understanding a horse was one thing, that Ty had learnd. But how to move your body with them, and know what they where thinking, was a whole new thing.

But now, most of his time was taken up by his new job, and even racing thoroughbred, or he hoped to get done soon as he loved to feel the wind on his face, with a strong powerful animal under him.

As the filly's foot touched the ground and she sniffed it, as Ty let the reins slid through he hands slowly, but he didn't let go of them fully, as he didn't want to be caught off guard if Belle acted all silly or got spooked. He wasn't the type to do shows, as he never did fancy it a lot, but truth was, even if his parents didn't fancy him riding a horse, it was his mother who told him to go and buy one, and even train it to become a racer, but Ty brought a young one, to work with it from the start so he could have a good blond with it.

As soon as she lifted her head up, Belle walked slowly towards a small puddle of water, but moved around it. A snort came from her, as she wasn't to happy about seeing a bigger puddle on the track she and her rider was on at all. Ty gently push his heels into Belle's side, but she didn't move at all, only pranced around and acted all silly before Ty growled "C'mon girl, get up Belle. It's just water" he said, but his voice was clam. But the filly stepped backwards, snorting a few more times and her ears went back, before Ty kicked her and Belle's ears pricked up, and she walked back towards the puddle, but she soon lurched herself over it, and Ty laughed softly. As Belle didn't want to walk through it, or even over it, she deiced just to jump over the puddle. "Silly girl" Ty said, smiling as he patted the dark bay's filly neck, to him, Belle was really one of a kind horse.

His bay coat gleamed with muscle and health in the sunlight. I gasped as the light illuminated the forest around us. Beautiful, painstakingly beautiful. The stallion beneath me impatiently trotted forward, tossing his head with impatience and....what do you know? Boredom. Typical Barely A Moment. I soothingly pat his neck and sat straight in tall in the worn trail saddle, enjoying the feel of hard horse muscle beneath my legs.

Momento continued his rapid trot and we coasted up the trail. I had time to observe the surroundings and was studying a tree when Momento accelerated into a canter. Head snapped forward, and I saw a young thoroughbred filly ahead of us. I thought he had accelerated because of the filly, but the stallion raced past and immediately slowed, content to once more be leading. I shook my head with mock disgust and cooed softly to the newly turned four year old. He was huge, too, standing at 17hh, so we towered over the filly as I reined him back to walk next to them.

Hiya.

Black Magic & Ty

As Belle was gone peaceful again, Ty frowned as he shook his head. As much as he loved the filly going all peace like, he knew it would be to true to be real. As she lifted her head up and started to trot, Ty pulled back on the reins as he knew, she didn't like to be hanging around this place forever. "Stubborn aren't you, girl? Wanna go home and being all silly." he said as he smiled. Even though she her home was at a place where he worked, Ty wasn't able to ride her with the horses to work, and family matters too.

As she calmed down again, letting out a snort her ears relaxed and she dropped her head and Belle snorted once more, as to say she just wanted to get a move on. Ty knew her to well, as he hold onto the reins tightly as he looked around, before turning his head and saw that another horses was near by. Moving his hands down the reins, but soon released them as Belle slowed down, happily to be in a lazy walk. Era pinned to her head, as Belle shook her head up high and she pranced up forward but soon slowed as Ty smiled, patting her neck and was happy she wasn't going to freak out, but she did move backwards a few steps. Noticing that the new horse was a lot bigger then Belle, he could tell she was too happy about this as well, and Ty nodded his head.

"Hey. Nice looking horses. I'm Ty by the way." he said, as he didn't want to be rude and not say his name, even though Belle turned her head to stare at him, only to look as if she was saying 'What am I? Nothing' but Ty patted the filly's hard neck as she let out another snort.

Amber Black, at your service. This is Barely A Moment. And then, because I really couldn't restrain myself, I added Winner of the Year Five Breeder's Cup Mile and Year Six Unicorn Horn Mile. Oops.

I smirked as the stallion cantered ahead gaily, then slowed and looked back at the filly with his own little horsey smirk; ears pinned but tail hanging out. It was such a funny scene that I had to laugh, and did. Excuse this guy, he's just having fun. We're here to relax. He's been racing hard this year.

ooc} no muse, sorry. ^_^

Black Magic & Ty

Ty looked at Amber, nodding his head before laughing softly but all Belle could do was shake her head and Ty stared at the filly, as she pawed at the ground "Nice to met you Amber. This little lady here is Black Magic. But she's not evil or anything, just a scared of everybody and a big baby" he said smiling, as it was true, even though Belle was still very young as her ears shot abckwards, stopping in her darks as Momento cantered and she kicked out her back leg.

As she felt left behind, Belle snorted before cantering towards them herself, though her stride wasn't as long as the taller racer and she slowed down. Ty nodded his head, smiling again as Belle relaxed once again "Cool, well this little girl only started racing, pretty good I say coming fourth in her very first race" he said. Even if she didn't get a great place, Ty thought it was great for her.

That's plenty good for a first start! I just bought a colt who's first start ended with ninth, but he's being trained hard now and will improve next time. I said the words with absolute confidence. I knew horses were scared in their first starts, or confused. It was a whole other story once they got into their second start; then they were more calm, more purposeful and learning what to do. This filly looked energetic and was young; her second start would be something to see.

Speaking of starts, have you decided her next race yet? And what kind if distance and surface does she run?

Black Magic & Ty

Ty smiled as he nodded his head. "Comes with luck, I guess, or training" he said with a small laugh as he looked at Belle. Her ears pricked as she was moving faster just to keep up with the older and taller horse. He knew she would do just fine in racing, as he had a whole lot of hope in her, and many horses he seen before and planned on getting soon. Hearing what Amber had to asked, he frowned before nodding his head, he entered her in another race, two more soon as well and he looked at her.

"There is a Akita Rose one she's going into, and well as a Green Horse Stables one. I just hope she does her best in it" Ty said, giving the filly a rub on her neck.


ooc; Gah, sorry IO didn't reply before hand, and that it sucks, no muse.

[S u N f r O s t ~]

I'll be seeing you there then I said brightly. Momento was just as cheerful as me, trotting along quietly and enjoying the sights. We definitely weren't running today. He was too peaceful to run. I knew he'd love to run no matter what, but I needed him in a rested shape for his next start.

I don't know where this guy is going next. Any suggestions?

Black Magic & Ty

Trotting at a good pace, Belle ended up arching her neck as she was moving. It was rare for her to be like this, but maybe it was because she was with another horse and rider, who where older then herself, and then Belle's ears flickered backwards.

After hearing Amber talk, Ty turned his head to look at her before thinking, and she smiled when he gave her a shrug. "Not really" he said with a soft laugh.

[/blockquote]

[S u N f r O s t ~]

I smiled. It was good to be in companionship with someone else, indeed it was. Momento was trotting a bit faster as a river or lake or something else appeared before us. We were steadily leaving the filly behind. I skillfully slid him into a perfect circle so the filly could catch up. The thoroughbred's long legs nearly hit each other at his pace, and we were forced to slow.

Look at that water! So clear I commented to Ty. I gathered the reins as Momento prepared to lunge forward once again, hinted by a sharp intake of breath. Wanna go swimming?

Black Magic & Ty

As Belle seemed to have slowed down when Momento was going fast, Ty kicked her so they wouldn't be left behind. Knowing Belle she would stop anytime if she was alone and her long thin legs moved into a slow canter to catch up to Amber and her thoroughbred and arching her neck, the filly slowed down to a trot once again. Rubbing his hand on the dark neck of Belle he looked up at Amber when she commented.

He smiled, before nodding his head "Sure. As long as Belle doesn't mind, so didn't even go through a small puddle" he said laughing before Belle came to a straight halt and Ty collected up his reins as the filly stood there stiff as a post and her ears went back as she looked at the water.

[/blockquote]

[S u N f r O s t ~]

Excellent. Momento here is looking forward to it. I tightened my legs around his smooth, dark, honey colored barrel and urged him on with open rein. He burst forth into a wide-stride canter, and we left the filly behind as we raced for the water.

First impact with the water was a huge splash, and Momento slowed as the water resisted his hooves. He lifted his legs up high in an attempt to glide above the cool glass but failed. With a quiet snort he slowed to a walk and went in up to the belly. His head curved around as he realized the filly hadn't joined them, and he whinnied to her.

Black Magic & Ty

He nodded his head, as he tighten the filly's reins, before using his body to get her into a canter, hoping this would make the filly so into it and not stop, and it seemed to be working rather well, as her ears become forward, and Belle's long strides soon slowed down a bit as Ty let the girl had her head.

But she skipped to a halt, making Ty lose his seat but he was lucky to get up and he moved backwards, lowering her head to sniff at the water. "Hey Belle, look. You're new friend is in there, means it safe." he said hoping for her to go in, but she just took a step backwards, and Ty sighed as he shook his head.

[/blockquote]

[S u N f r O s t ~]

I could feel the impatience working its way through his veins, stimulating him. He trotted out strongly and approached the filly, his neck extended to sniff her, and then whinny. Momento's brown eyes seemed to glare at her before he whipped around and marched back in regally. I tried to hide my laugh as I spoke to Ty.

Looks as though he wants her to go in.
