[bg=black][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] Mike, Ricky & A Hero Comes Home, Scott & The Lupin
Mike stalked into the barn and up to Scott, thrusting two shanks into his hands. ”Go get Hero and Wolf. You and Ricky are taking them out.” Scott blinked at him before nodding and scurrying off to get the two horses ready. Everyone knew you didn’t cross Mike. It was only with some difficulty did he manage to catch Hero - and several bruises - before he got her groomed and tacked, followed shortly by Wolf. Once they were done he lead the duo out, handing the reins off to two grooms as he swung up onto Wolfs back.
Ricky approached with Mike, a grave expression on his face as he easily mounted Hero, both glancing down to the trainer. ”Pathetic horses, these two have this last meet to prove their worth or we’re retiring them from racing. I want you to take them out to the meadow and run them for two miles. Don’t push them, just gallop them.” He sneered at the duo, before stalking away leaving the jockies and their mounts.
”Lovely chap there.” Scott murmured under his breath, causing Ricky to smirk. ”Indeed. Come on Hero.” He murmured, urging the Daemon daughter forth, followed shortly by Wolf and Scott. One thing Ricky knew for certain, even if they didn’t pass this ‘test’ the horses would be worth their weight in the breeding world. Both had impressive lineages, if only on their sires side. Hero was a Daemon x War Drums foal, her sire a living legend. Wolf was a Fox x Dro, half brother to Animal Kingdom.
It was a shame the two had not inherited their drive, but their lineages spoke for themselves. Sighing Ricky shook such thoughts from his mind and urged Hero into a canter as they entered the meadow.
