*loosens her reins, the stallion picking up a canter then exploding into a gallop. Drew leans forward, arms resting lightly on the neck. Rowdy quickly closes the gap made by Buddy starting first, ears pinned.* (NT) Drew 13:26:12 06/16/01 Sat

Getting the paint under control, Josh whoops as Buddy comes alongside Rowdy, shaking his head in excitement. The side path comes up, and Buddy just turns into it. The field is up ahead now... (NT) -- Josh, 12:05:45 06/17/01 Sun

*clucks lightly, Rowdy being the ex race horse he is, switching leads and flying forward. He pulls his head down to buck* NO! *she growls at the horse, kicking him and pulling up his head. The kick gets her another burst of speed, even though it's not what she asked for. Reaching the field, Drew starts to pull him up, but has no luck.. Rowdy just running on, the bit in his teeth.* (NT) -- Drew, 14:56:07 06/19/01 Tue

Shaking his head, the paint begins to speed up, trying to best the hurtling Rowdy. Josh's eyes turn to Drew, and he yells over the wind..."You all right?" Halfway down the field is a slight dip, then it rises into a hill. Buddy slows as he comes to the dip, but Josh urges him to keep up with Drew. Rowdy had the bit and might go haywire! (NT) -- Josh, 09:36:08 06/21/01 Thu

*nods, yelling back* Yea, this is why he isn't a racehorse anymore.. Get away though, he won't ever stop if he thinks it's a race. *she sits far back, behind his center to attempt to slow the white, and jerks on one rein, hoping to pull him in a circle.* (NT) -- Drew, 12:28:06 06/21/01 Thu

He slows Buddy, aiming to let Rowdy win and stop his headlong rush. "I'll slow it down..." Buddy tosses his head, picking up a fast trot... (NT) -- Josh, 09:51:01 06/22/01 Fri

*Rowdy turns a wide circle, still galloping. She keeps pulling the rein, making the circle smaller. Finally Rowdy drops to a canter, and then a trot.* Wow, that was fun... I don't think I'l try it again for a while though... *smiles wryly* (NT) -- Drew, 09:01:41 06/23/01 Sat

He gives an apologetic smile, shrugging as Buddy slowed to a slow jog. "Sorry. It was my idea. But, damn, he can run fast!" He grinned, patting the winded paint. Buddy snorted, picking up his fores in a prancing gait... (NT) -- Josh, 13:42:18 06/23/01 Sat

*shrugs* No problem.. we are all still alive.. *she pats Rowdy's neck gently, who is sweating lightly but not overly winded.* He is fast, and expecially for such a little guy. (NT) -- Drew, 12:12:41 06/25/01 Mon

He nods. "Sometimes the 'little guys' can really tear up the track. I've seen some look as if they're flying. Tough competition for the lanky ones." He smiles, Buddy drawing to a voluntary halt, ears pricked. Mustangs? (NT) -- Josh, 20:04:47 06/27/01 Wed

*pulls Rowdy to a halt, the stallion shaking his head an pawing anixiously.* -- Drew, 12:12:53 06/28/01 Thu
