For the rest of the events, it was a surefire win for Isabella. Poles, Taco turned faster than any other horse could, not even Prince Jayce's horse. With breakaway calf roping, most of the noble horses were afraid of the cows. "Easy," Bella had stated after breakaway calf roping. In normal roping, her horse weaved around the cow cutting off every exit while Bella skilfully roped the calf. While her horse was not professionally trained he looked like a professional. Taco had backed up tightening the rope as soon as Bella had tied the cow's legs up, and she had beaten a record. Country level record. Single penning was a blast. Cow's everywhere for most. Taco would skilfully swing side to side forcing the cow to go where Bella wanted. Isabella was unbeatable.

As the competitions went on Jayce became more and more interested in this Isabella girl. The way she was easily plowing through the competition showed much skill and confidence. The crowd had become interested in her too and would cheer for her after every win. He compared the movements of her horse to his own and could see multiple differences. Not only were the two horses different breeds, but it seemed that her's was much more agile, most likely because of it's breed. Jay knew that his own horse was good at jumping, dressage, and wagon pulling but that was because of his strength of being a Percheron, but anything to do with agility such as barrel racing he wasn't too good at. Jay was interrupted from his thoughts as the crowd more for Isabella as she beat a record for breakaway calf roping. He watched as she then sped through single penning and saw many people handing money to those that had betted that Isabella would win.

Sadly, very few people had betted on Isabella, as she was a peasant and not a noble like the rest. By the end though, she had over 100 people betting on her. At the end, Bella was overjoyed. She had won over enough to put KC down. While she thought about it, though, she started crying. KC had been with her for over 16 years. But, by the end, she had won 5 different tack sets. English jumping, a cutting set, a barrel saddle, and many more accessories for her beloved horse, Taco. When she finished the final event, the judges handed her a top overall aggregate full blanket. When the prince looked at her again she, was bareback riding Taco with his new blanket on.

When the awards were being handed out Jayce stood with the rest of the crowd and gave Isabella a standing ovation. A smile rested on his face as he watched the girl ride around with her horse. Luca stood beside him and tugged on his sleeve slightly. "Yes Luca," Jay asks the younger boy. "Can we go congratulate her in person," Luca asks him with kind of pleading eyes. Jayce chuckles, "You just want to see the horses. Don't you?" Luca nods with a smile and Jay sighs, "Sure Luca. Come on." He gestures for the stairs and Luca excitedly takes off. Jayce follows after him laughing at the servant. Luca had always had a thing for horses and loved to hang out around them when he could. Jayce smiles as Luca bounces a little a head of him, knowing that he was not to run too far away from the prince.

She cries on Taco, until she sees the Prince coming. "Oh shoot." she mutters under her breath. Bella quickly wipes her eyes on Taco's new blanket, and Taco looks at her with a look saying, 'oh no you don't.' Isabella laughs at her horse's face as she dismounts and signals for Taco to follow. Luckily, Isabella was excellent at faking a smile, and faked one easily. After having a good bath that morning, Bella's model body was easily seen. Curves that were rare for a princess to get. Luscious dirty blonde hair. Though, it was almost unseeable, she had giant muscles. Stuff any noble, or prince, wanted. But, most had a hard time getting it and just quit.

Jayce soon spotted Isabella and walked her way. Luca beat him to her by a minute and stops jumping for a moment. "Can I please pet your horse Miss," Luca asks giving Isabella a small bow before semi-patiently waiting for a response. Jayce walks up as Luca is waiting and gives Isabella a friendly smile. She was a gorgeous person and Jay was surprised that he hadn't mistaken her for a noble. 'A beautiful girl yet she is in the lower class,' he thinks, 'atleast the money she won should help her quite a bit.' Edited at May 17, 2023 05:25 AM by Paranormal Pastures

"Sure?" She responded. Bella really didn't know what to say when the prince's assistant asked to bet on her horse. "You hear that Taco? The prince's assistant – that's what you are correct?- wants to bet on, You. You are famous!" she snickered at her horse, whose head was up in the air proudly. Taco look like a noble himself! "But, seriously, you guys were watching me?" she asked the prince, "I didn't you that anyone in the royal family cared about the peasants." While, prince Jayce was nice, the King and Queen seemed to not care what happened to the peasants. Even though, they were the backbone of their empire. Without peasants, there would be no work done, no houses, no castle, no empire.

Luca smiled slightly and nodded at her question before asking, "Thank you miss. May I pet him as well? He seems like a nice horse." Luca held out his hand towards the horse as a gesture for Taco to sniff it. Sadly he had not brought any horse treats, which Luca now regretted. "My family usually attends the races but doesn't pay much attention to any peasants in it," Jayce explains, "but yes my parents don't far much about you lower civilians. Which is a real shame. I care about everyone in my families country the same, but they only care about those with equal or almost equal amounts of money.. I have heard of nations falling because peasants either died or moved away which is why I think they should care more about your people."

"yes you may pet him!" she answered calmly. "You really think so?" her face looked positive, happy, and content. But, her eyes showed sadness. When Luca went to pet Taco he snorted and threw his head up in the air happily. "Oh Taco!" she snorted at the silly horse.

Luca waited for Taco to calm down before gently placing his hand on his neck. He then carefully petted the horse and his eyes shined happily. Jayce nodded at Isabella's question, "I believe that all people should be treated the same even if we don't have the same amount of money. Luca can confirm that I think that." Luca glanced over as the prince spoke and nodded some before looking back at Taco and whispering quietly to the horse.
