The moment both horses passed the stick, both horses were off. They both were starting out slow, not to waste to much energy.

Misfit was on the other side of the track, Alex hugging the outer rail at a steady canter.

As they both turned the first corner, they zipped past Misfit. Slowly, Barbarian began to pull ahead.

Misfit reared as the other horses shot by, but Alex managed to ride out his fits. Settle you brute she growled.

Jessica glanced back and felt sorry that they caused the other horse to rear. Looking on ahead, she hugged the inner rail and urged Seabastian on.
Glancing back, Peter noticed Jessica was right on his tail. Noticing the second turn was ahead, Peter tapped Barbarian lightly with his whip and hung on as Barbarian sped up.

Turning the second corner, Jessica let Seabastian go all out. Galloping speedily down the track, Jessica noticed that Barbarian was speeding up as well. Crossing the line, Jessica was sure that Seabastian beat Barbarian by a hair.
Peter pushed Barbarian until the finish line. Slowing him down to a trot, Peter noticed that Seabastian beat him by a hair. "That was a lucky shot." he said to Jessica.

Alex finally relented and let Misfit breeze across the line. Some speed you got there she commented, halting him.

"He would make a good racer." Jessica commented as she seen Misfit fly across the finish line. Her and Peter slowed their horses down to a walk.

He's just a mongrel cattlehorse Alex laughed. Good for nothing but dog food really, has no sense at all.

"Ha ha. Is he good at cattle herding?" Jessica asked, riding up to Alex.

She shrugged one shoulder. Decent enough. Like I said, no sense. But he's stubborn and determined, so I guess he has that going for him.

"Better than nothin." Jessica said. Seabastian has a horsefly flying around his head. He started to get real prancy. Once it landed on his neck, she slapped and killed it. "Know of any ranches around here that are hiring or for sale?" Jessica asked.

She pursed her lips. Well, I was hiring but I got me two people willing to work the other day. You can try at Dingo Trails, if you like.
(I'm going to wait a little while longer before adding other stations. When I do, though, you can have one).
