(Want me to bring her in? xD)


Chelsea made a small 'hmmm' sound as she gazed at the barn. She chewed on her bottom lip, and cast the door to the large white structure a worried glance. Where was the lively mare? Well, she did have her days where she managed to get away un-noticed. Perhaps this was one of those days.

(Sure )

Snowfire snorted softly and turned his head to look back at Chelsea. He nudged her knee gently and nickered.

Chelsea looked down at Snowfire, and smiled softly. She patted his muzzle softly, and sighed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large black figure. She looked over, and saw Belles trying to sneak around the other barn. She whistled, and the pretty Thoroughbred lifted her head. She whinnied, and began walking to them.

Snowfire flicked his ears curiously when Chelsea whistled. He turned and saw Belles. He tossed his head and whinnied in greeting.

Belles whinnied back as she reached them, stopping at the fence. She reached out her muzzle, trying to sniff at Snowfire. Chelsea giggled, amused at what Belles wa doing.

Snowfire trotted to the fence and tossed his head over the top rail. He nickered and nipped at her mane teasingly.

Chelsea nearly fell from Snowfire's back as he trotted to Belles. She caught onto his mane, and clung to it as he went to Belles. She giggled as Belles whinnied in excitement at the sign of playfulness. She nipped back at the white stallion, tugging gently at his forelock.

Snowfire nickered happily and tossed his head. He pulled back away from the fence, lowering his head and pawing at the ground like a bull he had seen at a neighboring farm. Although he wanted to play he made sure to keep his back level so that Chelsea didn't lose her balance.

Chelsea smiled, and jumped from the stallion's back so he could play. She noticed that Belles wasn't yet inside the pasture, but that little problem was soon solved when she jumped the fence. Chelsea pulled herself up onto it, and watched as Belle pawed lightly at the ground, jumping slightly back, whinnying playfully at Snowfire. (F.A.I.L.)

Snowfire whinnied when Belles jumped the gate. He tossed his head and charged her teasingly, nipping at her mane.

Chelsea watched happily, giggling as Belles tried to scramble out of the way, only to stumble over her hoves and end up turned completely around. Once she fixed her footing, she squealed and whipped around to pull playfully at his forelock.

Snowfire nickered and reared up. He turned in a complete circle before lowering himself back to the ground. He snorted and tossed his head in the direction of the far side of the field. He nickered and pawed at the ground, challenging her to a race.

Belles looked over at Chelsea, before returning her attention to Snowfire. She snorted, and stepped up next to him. She snorted, and stared hard at where the finish was at. (FAIL)

Snowfire snorted and pawed the ground three times before letting out a loud nicker and charging forward.

Belles snorted, taken slightly aback when Snowfire suddenly charged, obviously not understanding the 'three paw' thing. She whinnied, and launched forward, galloping after him joyfully.

Snowfire whinnied back at her and sped up, galloping across the grass. He loved to run about as much as he enjoyed being in the show ring.

Belles furrowed her brow in concentration as she quickly remembered her racing strategy. She held herself back, controlled the urge to gallop as fast as she possibly could. No. She'd do that only when it was necessary. She snorted, her breaths coming slightly heavier. (Meh. Also a fail Dx What'swrongwithmeh?!)

Snowfire snorted when he saw Belles hold back. He felt like he could run forever. His stride was long and smooth, his legs eating up the distance in seconds.

Belle grunted, and finally decided to give it all she had. She pulled her nose toward her chest, and gave a little half fear before shooting forward, galloping across the earth in long strides. She whinnied, and shook he head, before tucking it in once again. (BLEH)

Snowfire glanced back in time to see her shoot forward. He snorted and stretched his neck out. His stride lengthened even more as his hooves kicked up dirt and grass.

Belles nearly stumbled as she dodged the clumps of dirt, not used to racing without the little cup things that protected her eyes. She finally stretched out her neck, speeding up slightly as she gained ground.

Snowfire spotted the fence up ahead and let out a happy whinny, kicking up his heels. He charged forward, picking up even more speed.

Belles glared at the ground ahead of her as she saw Snowfire pull even further ahead. N o. He wasn't going to beat her. She shook her head, and increased her speed even more, going to her limit, being careful to not push herself beyond that limit. He surged forward, gaining ground quickly.

Snowfire saw Belles speed up out of the corner of his eye and snorted. Although he enjoyed just running, he enjoyed the challenge of a good race and he didn't like losing. He snorted loudly and pushed himself harder, moving faster. His hooves nearly glided over the ground and it was because of that the inevitable happened. As he ran across a muddy spot next to the creek that ran through the meadow his hooves lost traction on the ground. He tried to turn to stop himself from sliding forward and only ended up losing his center of balance. His legs flew out from under him and his weight brought him to the ground while his momentum sent his body skidding across the mud and into the shallow creek.

Chelsea saw Snowfire go down, and she nearly screamed as she jumped from the fence to run to him.


Belles skidded to a stop, her hooves sending clumps of dirt, mud, and grass flying into the sir. She stayed still for a moment to catch her breath, before cantering to Snowfire. Once she reached him, she lowered her head, snuffing at him in worry. She nudged him, nickering loudly to ask him if he was alright. She looked up in time to see Chelsea reach them, and fall to her knees, sliding the last foot and a half on her calves. She bent over Snowfire, ignoring her now scraped up knees. She petted him, and spoke worriedly to him as she began checking him over. Belles watched quietly, standing over the two of them.
