[bg=black][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] Lee & Daemon, Ricky & He's A Pirate It had been Lees idea, this suicidal workout. Ricky found himself grumbling as he lead Will out of the barn and into the yard, fully groomed and tacked. Behind him several grooms struggled to lead the very devil that had sired this striking colt, out into the yard. What is she thinking? Ricky huffed, watching as a few grooms were dragged across the yard by the black stallion. Just as he was about to move to stop the mayhem, when Mike exited the barn What the hell!? He shouted, stepping in front of Die and throwing his arms up. Die squealed and skidded to a stop, snorting at the man with his ears pinned back. Mike grabbed the shank and popped it once, before glaring at the grooms. Get out of here He hissed, as he circled Die around to make sure he didn’t injure himself. He’s fine. You know the grooms shouldn’t be handling him. Ricky called from where he stood with Will. Mike turned towards him and laughed, rolling his eyes. True, so why is this devil tacked up? Mike asked with a pat on Dies neck. Lee wants to bring him and Will out to work on Wills stamina. Rickey replied with a shrug, as he swung up onto the big black colts back. Ahh that explains it. Mike agreed, glancing towards the ranch house as Lee approached them. Boys she commented, nodding towards both of her long time friends. Both of the older men smiled and nodded towards her Lee they both said at the same time, while Mike held Die still for Lee to mount him. He passed her the reins and she turned towards Ricky. Ready? He nodded and nudged Will for a trot, heading towards the forest. Be safe. Mike said to Lee as he stepped back and she nudged Die into a canter to catch up with his son. It didn’t take long for them to reach the forest, the one that was mostly a very steep hill. This should be fun. Lee commented, and Ricky laughed. Oh yes, loads of fun. Ricky replied with a smirk and urged Will for a gallop as they approached the first hill. Lee followed suit and urged Die forth, both horses dug their hooves in and plowed on going up the hill. Die made it look easy as running on flat ground, Will however struggled a few times, which Ricky simply urged him on if he went to stop. Once they reached the top, the turned around and Lee grinned. Now for the fun part. Ricky rolled his eyes as she nudged Die forth, the large black stallion bolted down the hill. Ricky and Will followed at a canter, for Ricky had no desire to risk the youngster tripping and breaking a leg. Die however had been on this trip multiple times over the years, and knew how to safely move down the hill with no problems. Once both reached the bottom the horses were covered in sweat and breathing harshly… though neither seemed injured. A slow easy trot was picked up as the duo headed home.

[bg=black][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] Lee & In da dog house, Ricky & Animal Kingdom, Trevor & Tuarwen, Scott & Platinum Dream Scott and Trevor headed out of the stable, each leading a horse respectively. In Scotts hands were the reins to Platinum dream, while Trevor lead Tuarwen. Already waiting in the stable yard was Ricky with Animal Kingdom, and Lee with In da dog house. Ready? The four horses were to be worked on their endurance, to improve it so they could run at top speed for a longer period. As the two younger Jockies nodded, all four mounted up. Alright, you know the deal. Gallop up the hill, don’t let them slow down. Once we get to the top, canter or trot them back down. Mike ordered from where he leaned against the fence. Lee rolled her eyes at him, while Ricky laughed. Yes masta He joked, smirking when Mike narrowed his eyes at him. You better recognize. Mike joked back, causing Lee to laugh and the newer jockies to stare in shock. Alright, alright lets go. Lee gasped, trying to catch her breath. Nudging the horses forth Lee and Witch taking the lead, with Ricky slightly behind them and the two younger jockies trailing behind him. It didn’t take long for the group to reach the woods, nor the steep hill. Ready? Ricky asked as they approached at a canter. Now. Lee ordered and urged Witch for a gallop. Witch snorted and pushed off, her stride lengthening from the canter into a ground eating gallop… which faltered as she hit the hill. Lee however urged her on, and the ever stubborn witch kept plowing forth. Ricky and Animal had followed suit, though Animal seemed to be having an easier time than Witch with the incline. Scott shrugged and nudged Patty forth, urging her on as she struggled to pull both herself and rider up the incline behind and off to the side of the other two. The riders weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t put the horses behind each other, incase one should fall. Trevor and Tuarwen were the last two up, and of course the last two to reach the top. As they paused at the top, the horses heaving out breath after breath covered in sweat, Lee glanced around. Alright guys, lets head home. As one the riders urged the horses forth, bringing down the steep hill at a slow trot.
