She swallows a bit, her hips moving easily to Gold's pace, her features continually sad.. She sighs a bit, what the hell - may as well tell him. She looks away, knowing if she looked at him then he'd see the silent tears that had begun to fall. A light hand alights to brush away the tears, hating them for their weakness.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that.." Looks down at Gold, the animal surprisingly good today, "We were the prodigies of the racing world - me and Ross were.. I'd ride and he'd manage and train. Everyone wanted to know our secrets, everyone wanted to have a horse worked with by us. I mean, we'd won the Triple Crown with a filly.. That was Angel, the gray in there - I rode her and Ross trained her back to health. Anyway, Ross and I got a new horse to work with from some high up stable, named Open Mind if I remember correctly. Well, I'd blown out my knee and Ross was taking over the exercising for just one day. Well, Mind bolted and crashed through the inside rail. Ross was as good a rider as me, and I know I couldn't have survived that fall either - I found him lying there, doctors and paramedics said that he'd died upon impact of a broken neck.. He was so white and still." Hand alights to wipe away more tears, but it a no avail. She growls to herself, hating the fact that she couldn't get rid of them.. "Well, that day is the day my life went to hell. My dad started drinking, my mom got addicted to tranquilizers, and my brothers and sister skpped town - we sold the string 'cept Gold and Angel.. Hero, Silky, and Dusty are just family horses. God, if only I'd told him that I wasn't going to miss works no matter what." She still wasn't going to look at Owen for the life of her, a trembling hand falls to rest upon Gold's neck, "I shouldn't be riding him, it's just not right.. He was Ross's baby, n'mine - I just figured it'd be good for him to get out." Blinks hurriedly, regretting it all, digging up buried memories hurt more than burying them; all she wanted to do now was curl up in a ball and vegetate for the next year or so.. oh how she hated her life - always would.
