Milly:
Lyra pranced beneathe me as we came up to the mouth of the trail. I smiled. SHe was as spirited as Warrior. "How's he feel Jacky?" I asked with a smile.
Jacky:
"He feels great. How is she?" I said as our horses both pricked there ears to the other horses coming up. "Come on slow pokes!" I called to Miley and the others in good spirit.

MAry Anne:
"Piper doesn't want to race- he wants to eat!" I said, as Piper chomped on Sheep Sorrell with gusto. "And besides, without a saddle, I very well might fall off!" No matter how cool it would be to go gallivanting off with nothing but my legs and hands on his mane to control Piper, I did NOT want to be hurt for the competition...

Miley:
i lagged behind, Tempo was really lazy all of a sudden. "come on Tempo, come on," i said squeezing him. then he took off for the woods. his ears were pricked up and he stopped about a quarter a mile away from a chocolate mare. i looked around and saw a friskie lil filly bounding around in the underbrush. i slid Tempo to a stop and he nickered a greeting. "twice in a row," i whispered softer than a mouse. the filly came up to Tempo and they touched noses. the nerves mare whinnied for her daughter to return to her side. the filly obeyed after she sniffed my boot. then she galloped off to her mother. the mare sniffed the mare and nudged her to move on. the mare looked back at me as if to say, ill see you again, dont worry. "she is amazing," i said patting Tempo on the neck and spinning him around back to the trail.

Jacky:
"I'm more than ready to race. What do ya'll say to the third curve in the trail and back?" I said pointing through the trees to where I was talking about.
Milly:
"Sounds good to me." I looked to Arin and wondering where Miley was. As soon she said yes was gone. Lyra shifted under me feeling my excitement and I rubbed her neck to calm her.

Arin:
"hey, where's Miley go?" i wondered aloud. but Phoenix didn't give me a chance to think; he crowhopped in anticipation of the race. "let's just start the run, what do you say? it'll take Phoenix's mind off his temper."

Miley:
i jogged back to the trail on Tempo. the steel gray stallion was eager to run. when i looked throught the trees i saw my friends readying to race each other. i turned Tempo farther up the trail in the woods and kissed to him. we broke through i whooped and galloped down the trail. "come on guys," i yelled over my shoulder.

MAry Anne:
I couldn't restst; I gave a yell and nudged Piper hard enough that he knew I wanted to run! He took off, his long mane blowing back into my face. "Here we come!"

Jacky:
"Hey! No fair!" I called out taking off after them. "Come on Milly let's beat'em!" I called back and kicked Warrior up to a slow run catching the others quickly.
Milly:
I laughed and went after them slowly gaining on them. I passed up Jacky and grinned at him as I went by. "Tah-Tah!" Lyra sped up going to the front and running beside the lead horse. "Catch me if you can." I yelled and kick Lyra up to a higher gait.

Miley:
i slowed Tempo down and let the others catch him. he wasnt a fast race horse, but i didnt expect that much speed come out of him. as the others passed me i nudged Tempo back into his gallop. i caught up to Warrior and stayed there.

Mary Anne:
The hill took a sharp curve downward. Piper carreened down the hill, until I saw it- a log laid across the trail at the bottom of the steep precipice, either strategically placed as a 1) nasty, professional-level jump, or 2) a death trap! "JUMP AHEAD!!!!" I yelled back to the others, then, taking what little knowledge I had of jumping, gathered myself an loosened Piper's reins. "You can do it!" I whispered to him. "Just please, please, PLEASE don't get hurt!"

Arin:
as we rounded the corner, Phoenix at the rear and sideloping along like that was the way horses were supposed to run, mary anne yelled something about a jump. and there it was- a big, surly-looking log propped against the trail! i was a steeplechaser; i did stuff like this on a regular basis. but Mary Anne had hardly been riding for a month! and Piper wasn't precisely born to jump- he was born to dance! my heart leapt in my throat, and suppressed a scream...

Jacky:
I grinned as we came around the corner. I loved jumping. I got ready for the jump but caught fright on Mary Anne's face and lost consintration. Warrior took the leap perfectly and I lost balance. I hit the ground hard and rolled at least six feet from him. He stopped up ahead and turned looking at me. I groaned trying to get up and felt that my arm was out of socket. I felt my head go faint as Milly ran up to me her face full of fear for me.
Milly:
I jumped smoothly over and turned around to make sure they all made it. They were coming quickly till Jackson fell off. I lept off Lyra and ran to his side. "Jackson! Are you okay?" His arm was hanging loosely at his side and his face was a mask of pain,his face a pasty white. "Jackson?" 'It hurts.' He said horsely then promtly fell on top of me. I rolled him off looking down at his face in concern. "Jackson! Wake up? Jacky,WAKE UP! Please." I sat at his side and began to cry. I heard the others coming but didn't care.

Miley:
Tempo was a big horse and so was Warrior and i knew Warrior was a born jumper and not Tempo. but Tempo took it just as good as Warrior. as Tempo landed i saw Jacky fall. oh no this is exactly what i didnt want to happen and it happened. i quickly grabbed Warrior and Lyra and dismounted Tempo. i tied Warrior and Lyra to Tempo so they wouldnt run away and i ran to Jacky.
