Ladies

"Excuse us, ladies! We've got a race to win!"

Sky screamed at the handler again, ears pinned and mouth open, looking for the closest victim to strike at. Cade was busy trying to keep her head close to her, fighting with the bit in her mouth, but she just was not having it. They would not touch her. Cade and Ashlyn had been the only real people she'd interacted with, and she was going to make damn sure it stayed that way.

"Just leave us be, we'll get inside ourselves." Cade ordered at the worker, who didn't seem to be too heartbroken over the command. Raising his hands and taking several steps back, he watched with the others from a safe distance. "Uh, folks, just a moment here, we seem to have an issue at the gate."

Cade snorted. She was fine, she actually liked going into the gate. She just hated men. He wondered if it was due to her previous home, but the time to think about it wasn't then. "Get to it," He said, kissing to his filly. A flicked ear was the response before she tenderly took two steps at a time towards the open gate. The other horses' jockeys looked at the pair irritably, tired of waiting. "Hurry up! Let's get this show on the road!" One of them ordered. He ignored it, but he also ignored the urge to give flip them the bird. "Easy as we take it, Sky." He soothed. The gates shut behind them, startling her. Laying back on the doors for a few moments, she rolled her eyes and huffed, but he stuck with her. It only took a few seconds for her to stand quietly, a little unfocused but enough to give the signal that it was alright for them to start.

They were only given a few moments before all doors opened, releasing the hellions of debut racehorses. Shooting out as well, not because of fear, but to Cade's pleasure because of sheer instinct. She was running with a bunch of two and three year olds-- her muscles were more developed, and with the training methods Ashlyn had been doing she was probably more balanced as well. Huffing excitedly, she squealed and plunged further into the track, pulling up in the middle of two particular horses. He'd read about them. Both riders were women, holding back a stallion and mare. He had to laugh as Sky gave the seal stud an evil eye; it was apparent a personal competition was rising between the two.

"Excuse us ladies! We've got a race to win!" He shouted over the roaring wind. "I apologize for any emotional trauma you are about to endure!" He chuckled as the shot him dirty looks, but the turn was coming. Time to haul ass! He urged Sky up only a tiny inch, but noticing where they were at in the field, the fiery mare took that inch and ran an entire mile with it. They exploded ahead of the pack, eyes ablaze and hearts pounding.
