Ace quickly came back to Hades and quietly brought a brush and a saddle/saddle pad with her. "Easy boy, nothing to get to excited about." She sat the sadde and saddle pad down on the ground and walked up to him with the brush in hand. "Here you are boy, its alright." .. White listen to his voice and fallowed his comends and went toward the path. She watched OTTB behind her like a hawk but still begain to trust Darren even more. She prayed that today she would beable so show him her speed.

Hades watched her closely as she came back with a few items, His nostrils flared slightly as he tried to smell the item she'd placed on the ground. Lifting his head back up he turned his head to see Ace with a brush in her hand seeing the familiar thing made him put his ears back yet again remembering how rough his previous owners were with grooming but he didn't try to strike or bite her but he stood a bit tense . Darren smiled as they were finally on the trail and squeezed White's barrel again asking for a trot, "Ready?" He asked his sister and got a quick ''Yes" from her. Tiffany gave a small kick to Fay's sides asking her to trot and the mare listened so Tiffany started moving with the mares step

Ace rested a hand on his neck. She lifted the brush to his nose and let him sniff the brush. "It's all right boy. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's only a brush it won't hurt you." She patted his neck and waited until he relaxed. .. White skip the trot and went into a canter instead. It felt good being able to stretch out her legs. She tossed her head into the air with excitement and relaxed under his weight. She waited for his q before she went to any faster.

Hades sniffed it and when a bit of the brush tickled his nose he raised his head again and snorted, He relaxed a tiny bit and stood still for a few minutes before getting restless again the downside about buying an untrained young horse he was impatient. As he stood there he felt a fly land on his flank and bite him so his head quickly swung around before he bit his flank shooing the pesky thing away . Darren quickly looked forward as White cantered going a bit off balance, "Are you alright?" Tiffany asked a bit concerned as she hurriedly asked Fay to lope. "I'm good" He replied as he managed to regain his balance and a mischievous smile replaced the shocked look he had before and he squeezed White's barrel one more time asking for a gallop, "Catch me if you can" He chuckled to his sister wanting to see if white could beat his sisters OTTB who's ears perked up sensing a challenge.

Ace laughed and started brushing him softly and shooing flies away from his body. She secretly put a powder in the brush without him knowing and cept brushing. Soon flies started leaving or dieing. .. White took the challange and went flat out. She streached out her legs as far as they could. She prayed he won't stop re for a while. It felt wonderful. She dashed around a large rock and kept running. It felt wonderful with the wind in her main and tail.

Hades relaxed more as he felt how soft she was with the brush, He ended up cocking one of his back legs and enjoying the feeling after a few minutes he'd started to notice that the flies were avoiding him and snorted with delight his tail still as it didn't have to flick at them as much. . Darren smiled as White sped up and he heard his sister asking Fay to speed up, Darren managed to stay seated and kept the reins a bit loose for White while looking ahead. After a few minutes he could hear another set of hooves and it was his sisters OTTB catching up so he looked back and his sister had a smile on her face while struggling to stay on top of the mare, Darren knew the mare could overtake white but Tiffany would fall off if she went any faster. . Fay once she saw White take off was quick to follow it sounded like thunder going through the trail as the horses hooves beat the ground, Fay once she'd caught up was unable to go any faster as she couldn't lengthen her stride much with how tight Tiffany had the reins fearing she would fall if she didn't grab on.

Ace quietly kept talked to him as she kept brushing. She finally was done and patted him on his neck. "There you go boy." She went into the tack room again and quietly walked back to him. Another person behind her was walking a mare that was in heat. It was too late for Ace to stop the child before she walked the mare out any further. .. White took the extra rain and went even faster. She kinda felt bad for Fay as she couldn't go any faster as the girl held onto her head. She kept pace once she hit the speed she wanted, Even though she was tiring.

Hades watched her go into the room again before he shook out his mane a bit before relaxing again, He could hear another person so his ears perked forward before he turned his head and saw another horse. He was fine at first then the horses scent got to his nostrils and he knew it was a mare but she was also in estrus, His head raised and he nickered to her before straining against the tied lead. . The colts tail flicked as he grew irritated unable to reach the mare, Hades squealed as he raised up a bit on his back legs before coming down with a small thud tugging wildly against the lead. . Darren once they were up ahead in the trail noticed white getting a bit tired so he pulled back the reins wanting to walk it out a bit, "good job" He smiled giving her a pat on the neck before looking back and chuckled unable to see his sister as they were so far ahead. Tiffany had slowed Fay down to a trot as she nearly lost her seating

Ace knew very well that would happen if the lead broke. She ran out toward the them and shouted. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER." She grabbed Hade's Halter and quickly untie him and started leading him towards and away from the mare. "Quickly, Get her in the barn, NOW!" The lesson kid didn't move, she stood still watching Hades with fear. "Haida! MOVE!"

(Had to make this post from my phone so there might be a few mistakes lol) Hades grew excited thinking Ace was letting him off to go to her and happily pranced beside her with his neck arched until he realised they were getting further away from the mare, Once he'd realised this his ears pinned back and he looked back before stopping and standing still refusing to move any further. He snorted and looked forward again giving Ace a confused look
