Pep Talk

The stallion was being led around the grounds for the Breeders Cup, just to get him used to the area.

He was down, and not looking forward to this race. His owners had said that this was his last chance. Another no placing race meant they were no longer going to bother training him. What was he supposed to do? He was trying his absolute hardest, but he was never even coming close to even placing third.

As this churned in his mind, the horse just grew more depressed. He caught a glimpse of a white mare being led around as well and rolled his eyes. 

-Ghost Hour-, he thought to himself, -the horse who fell and still managed to beat me. SHE is in this race?-  His heart sunk further and he soured as she moved to trot beside him.

"Lovely day for a walk! Didn't I see you before at the other race? Come on! Get your head up! The race is going to be great, I bet, and we can both have fun running our hearts out!" she exclaimed eagerly, only to be met with a gruff huff from the stallion.
