Justin:
the bright bay blasted off and i chased after her with Magic. Magic was fast but not as fast i expected. she was a jumper not a racer. she would probably do better in a steeplechase race then a race in a pasture. when Magic caught up to Ballerina, i started talking to Owen. "do you always ride Ballerina?"

Owen: "actually, i only got her two weeks ago." i said. "i used to excercise all Berryhill horses for both Steeplechase and Racing, but i really liked working with her and used my wages to buy her. now, we're mostly training for the big competition... steeplechase." i said. Ballerina was starting to tire. she had already run two races today, one against Miley, one against Theo and Justin. although endurance was one of her best qualities, speed mixed with endurance going over jumps really worked for her. straight running, although it saved her the trouble of powering over jumps, wasn't her top mark. i slowed her to a canter.

Justin:
"ok," i said, "what was Mr. Berryhill's first horse," i asked as i slowed Magic to a lope.

Owen: "don't ever, ever get him started on that topic!" i exclaimed. "i've heard about Tyrone the shetland pony more times than anyone would ever want to. as a matter of fact, Milton has pictures of all his successive horses lined up in his office." i thought for a mintue. "but his first full-size horse was a retired thoroughbred, about twenty years old, named Floridays. his favorite, though,was down of a Thistle, who he got a few years after Floridays passed away."

Owen: "ohhh, on your first mission for the big man! that means he really thinks you're a good rider!" i exclaimed. i stuck out my hand for Justin to shake. "my first was finding him a new pair of riding boots... not half as cool as yours."
