Jessica pulled into the driveway. "Are you sure you want to see if you can beat me?" she asked teasingly. "Of course." Peter said as he jumped out of the truck as soon as it stopped. Smiling Jessica killed the engine. Both of them were leading their horses, tacked in the cheap racing gear they had bought a few years back.

Alex was at the track exercising a new colt. He wasn't professional racing type, but he was a speedy little thing.

"Looks like we aren't the only ones." Peter commented. They both mounted their horses and started to warm them up by trotting around the track.

Alex slowed the colt when she saw the other riders, Pat was a nervy horse and got distracted easily. G'day! she called over.

"Good day to you to!" Jessica called. Seabastian was never good around other colts so he was very skittish. Peter slowed Barbarian down to a slow trot and started to post.

Alex halted Misfit so that he could watch the oncoming horses and not get spooked. Haven't seen you guys around here before.

"We just moved here from our old farm." Jessica said, slowing Seabastian to a walk so he wouldn't bolt. Peter slowed Barbarian down to a walk and kept him by Seabastian's side.

Well, welcome to Timberline. I grew up here, so if there's anything you need to know I can tell you.

"Ok, we will keep that in mind." Jessica said as she felt Seabastian tug heavily at the bit. Peter felt Barbarian relax as he fell into the smooth walk Peter loved.

She tipped her hat a little and started Misfit off in a canter.

Jessica let Seabastian break out into a smooth canter. Peter nodded back as Barbarian broke out into a choppy canter.

Misfit tugged at the bit, hearing the other horses behind him.

Jessica struggled a little as Seabastian seen the other horse ahead of him and thought it was a challenge. "Easy boy" Jessica murmered into his ear. Seabastian's ears flicked back as he picked up her voice. Slowing down a little, they both fell into the smooth, slow canter.
Peter clucked on to Barbarian as the other horses were getting farther ahead of him. Feeling Barbarian prick up his ears, Peter gave him some rein as Barbarian picked up speed.

Alex kept Misfit well collected, he was nowhere fit enough for a full out gallop just yet. The ugly bay colt leaned heavily on the bit, determined to out-pull her.

After letting Seabastian warm up, Jessica waited until Peter was next to her before actually racing him.
Peter let Barbarian catch up to Seabastian before asking, "You ready?"
