Erik used his hand and patted the colt's neck. "Good boy. But, I know there's still a little more speed in you. Come on let's impress your owner some more. Beat the grey horse to the finish. I know you can do it. Your fast enough" he said. He moved more with the colt now. Silver Jet sped past them again. Erik and the jockey on the grey had put a plan together to try and get the colt to go to his top speed before it was time to get off the track. Silver Jet was speeding around the second turn now. Erik put on a strong poker face now. "Come on, boy. I know you can do it. Beat the gray. I can feel it inside of you. It's time to let it all go. Win this competition. Come on, come on. Do it" he said to the colt again.

as the gray raced past the chestnut mare got a little too excited and slammed her foot into the railings. she didn't feel it at all, for she now pranced on the spot, desperate to join in the race. but april didn't want her to gallop much more, not yet anyway, and she hopped off the mare quickly to check her leg. it was fine and she straightend up in time to see silver jet over take the colt again. she groaned and watched intently, he needed to break the barrier quickly or she'd have to give erik the crop. april knew he didn't need it, but if he was going to be this slow she'd have to use it. patting lucky's neck affectionately she silently willed her colt to go faster, it was obvious he could go faster.

Erik groaned. He reached behind him with one hand and patted the colt's rump. He was trying to erge the colt to get into top speed now. "Come on, Boy. I know you can do it. Give it everything you got" he said. He used his feet and nudged the colt. Silver Jet was starting to get tired. He was slowing down. The jockey on Silver Jet couldn't get the gelding to speed back up. Erik used his hand again and this time lightly tapped the black colt's rump trying to make him get faster.

april sighed as she lent against the white bars, the reins of lucky looped over her arm. the mare shook her head and neck before popping her chesnut head over the bar to join april. smiling at the mare she scratched her forehead lovingly before turning he. attention back to the colt. she was thinking of naming him 'the black admiral' but she wasn't sure yet. it all depened on how he ran. and so far, he was crap. he was so slow it was unbelieveable. she noticed erik smacking his rear and rolled her eyes. grabbing the crop she'd wedged in her boot earlier she shouted over to the pair, knowing that it wouldn't spook the colt in the slightest, "bring him over here erik." she planned to hand erik the crop, then hop back onto lucky and race the colt. he still had a lot of power left in him, he was tiring yet. she straightened up and patted the chesntut on her neck, "lets see if we can get my baby running, eh girl?"

Erik got the colt to go over to her. He halted the colt. "What is it, April?" he asked. He patted the colt's neck softly and settled back down to sit on the small saddle. He looked to see Silver Jet being walked off the track now. He looked to the jockey on his gelding and nodded. The jockey on Silver Jet hopped off and lead the tired out grey horse to the trailer to give him a break.
OOC: sorry for shortness i'm almost out of muse.

april smiled up at erik, "here use this," she handed the crop to erik, "how about i gallop lucky around, we'll go along side each other for a few furlongs, then i'll break away and speed up. try and get him to over take us?" she smiled then turned and hopped onto the chestnut mare. she was hoping this would work.
[ahh no worries, mines uber short.]

Erik took the crop from her. He put into his left hand. He still held the reins and a bit of the colt's mane. He glanced toward Silver Jet who now had his head hung so low he thought the horse was sick or something. " I think my horse is too tired out to even try to do any more workouts today. So, let's get this started. Your colt doesn't feel tired yet anyways" he said. He ran his right hand down the colt's neck softly.

turning around in the saddle she spotted silver jet and nodded, "he was going pretty fast though, almost the same speed as this old girl here." she grinned and turned back around to face the track. clicking her tongue the chestnut bounced into a trot, her limbs working perfectly as the adrenaline in her body set in. she seemed to know she was up for a race and her head bobbed eagerly as the pair moved onto the dirt track. patting the toned neck of the mare april soothed her softly, "shh, easy now. not too fast, okay girl?" lucky snorted as she tossed her head in the air and april laughed, the sound ringing through the air. the mare moved into a slow canter and april turned around to look at erik, "come on then!"

Erik used his legs to ask to colt to get over to them. He was ready to get this colt up to the top speed now. He patted his neck softly. Holding the crop in his left hand ready to use it when he was ready to let the colt loose to try and get past the other horses on the track. He spotted a dark bay stallion going around the track. He knew it was his good friend Buffy Summers riding the fast stallion. He hoped that his good friend would join in the fun. " Let's do this" he said.

april grinned at erik as he made his way over. laughing she turned back and started to canter the mare around the track, leaving a gap for erik to slot the colt into when they started galloping. patting the chestnut's neck april leaned forward out of her seat and whispered into the mares ears, "come on girl, show my baby up!" grinning she clicked her tongue and the mare was off, her slow canter quickening to a medium gallop, though april held her back from her top speed and waited for erik to catch up.
[eh, too lazy to code]

Erik used the crop and tapped the colt's left flank. " Come on boy, show them up. Get up there and pass them" he said. He laid flat against the colt's neck and hoped that the colt would get to top speed now. He glanced under his left shoulder seeing a dark bay stallion gaining up behind the two of them now. He sighed and got nervous.

april grinned as erik joined her and the two horses were running side by side. she flashed a glance at erik and spoke in her husky tone, "i'm gonna go now, try and get him past me before we do another lap." and with a nudge of the mares sides the pair were off, she quickly raced ahead of the colt, her speed increasing but still not top. her top speed was way too quick for the black boy so it wouldn't be fair if april let the chestnut went flat out. leaning forward and almost flat on the mares neck april quickly checked behind her, to see the colt and another bay horse gaining erik and the colt. sighing she pushed lucky forward a little more, she wouldn't wait for the colt to move. erik had to let him loose now or the whole thing would be pointless.

Erik smacked the colt with the crop again. He laid more on the colt's neck. "Come on boy, you can do it. Give it everything you've got. I know you can do it" he said. He looked behind him to see the dark bay stallion pass them. He hoped the colt under neath him would pick up speed now.

april groaned inwardly as the bay overtook the colt and started to catch up with her on the mare. glancing back at erik she noticed the colt start to pick up speed, gaining on the bay rather quickly. grinning she nudged the chestnut mare a little, who was starting to slow due to april being distracted. she quickly jolted back up to speed and april lent forward again, occasionally glancing back at the gaining colt.

Erik tapped the colt again but on his right flank. He wanted the colt to get to the top speed now to get past the dark bay and gain on the mare. "Come one, come on. You can do it. Give it everything you got. I have complete faith in you boy" he said. The jockey on the dark bay slowed and was right next to the colt now. Buffy looked to Erik and gave him a thumbs up before speeding off at top speed.
