Titan tossed his head and lengthened his stride, going faster

Tyler urged West into a canter, flashing a grin at Abby before taking off. West lengthened out into a gallop and dashed ahead down the trails. Tyler bent over the stallions neck, knowing that he wouldn't be able to go as fast as Titan. West was all muscle, not much speed. It was good for Dressage and carrying a heavier guy like Tyler, but bad for... racing.

Titan waited for Abby's command before taking off after Tyler and West, his ears pinned down against his head. Titan passed them and she smiled as they fled down the trails

West looked very happy and relaxed, not caring in the least as Titan passed them. "You are such a gelding, Mr Stallion." Tyler snorted, though he was smiling. He patted West's neck and let the stallion slow a little, loping along at a pace that his horse loved. Of course, West's favorite pace was sleep, and his favorite activity was sleep, but that was a story for another time.

When Abby noticed that they had slowed down, she leaned back, slowing her own horse. Titan snorted and tossed his head, still wanting to run. "Maybe later big guy" she smiled
|

"Sorry, West would much rather sleep then run." Tyler called out with a chuckle, urging the stallion just to stay in a canter. "How do I do Dressage with you?" He asked the horse with a slight laugh, smiling.

|
"This one is total opposite " she leaned way back and giggled "slowww. downnnn" she pulled on his mane and he finally slowed to a manageable canter
|

|

|
Tyler chuckled, watching Abby and Titan. "In Dressage we never do anything more then an extended canter, so West doesn't like to gallop." Tyler snorted, slapping a hand onto the stallions neck. West flicked his ears drowsily, slowing a little more.

Abby giggled "in racing, we just run and run and run. Nothing slow about this big boy!" Titan tossed his head as of to understand
|
|  |
|
|

|
"Lucky you." Tyler laughed, shaking his head. "I have a feeling North is going to be a lot like Titan... so when she is ld enough to race, we will beat you some day." Tyler teased, knowing that Titan was probably much faster then his little filly.
