Robert tapped a bit more on the reigns as he sat the canter...the really slow canter. "Trot!" he said in a deep conmanding voice. he tabed a bit more pressure on his mouth waiting for the black colt to slow down. They were finally on the backstrech and once Robert got the colt to a trot he would then turn the colt and halt the colt at the 3 furlong mark. Robert would wave his han and get ready for Ella to wave he hand back when she started the time. He then would kick the horse and tell the horse to go! Robert was just hoping the colt knew how to run, some colts didn't. He still had that crush sitting in his mind..he wondered if she liked him. But he never ever ever moved to fast. He always took it slow and always took his time to decid on if he trule liked the girl or if it was just a fluke. Robert soothingly talked to colt into slowing down as he soon began posting on the trot. Robert turned his position as he pulled with a bit of pressure on the right reign asking for the colt to turn. All they had to do now if walk over to the 3 furlong pole adn go. Robert couldn't wait.

Curler's nostrils went down a little as he smoothly flew into a calm but prancing trot. He was rerwarded with less pressure on his mouth, but he raised his head a little with his pace. His muscles flexed under the small saddle pad as they sprung with the gait. He rung his tail a little as he was then asked to halt.
Ella gave Robert the thumb's up sign. Her goal for Curler's run was about fifty-five seconds. Hopefully he could beat it. Curler always had nice sprinting times, and this time should back the other ones up. Ella's thumb was on the black button, ready to press start. She knew Curler would bolt fast as soon as he was asked too. He always flew out of the gate without a problem, and never has stumbled. Knock on wood that he never would!

Robert checked the reigns on the prancing colt before he slapped him with his crop. "Settle down!" He said demandingly at the colt who was still in high spirits. Robert hands moved back and forth as he sesawed the reigns hoping to calm the prancing high spirited colt. Robert turned to Ella nodding as he finally shortened the reigns and fixed his seat. Robert grabbed a bunch of mane in his hands as he got ready to burst with the black colt any second.

The colt screamed as he felt the harsh crop against his shoulder. What was that for? He swung his hindquarters, wanting to just be in his paddock. He pawed the dirt, sideglancing at his owner. He hoped she would do something.
Ella nodded. It looked as if Curler was a little... agitated. She frowned slightly. She didn't want her horses to be mad in a race. Well, she thought, let's just get this sprint in. When Robert appeared ready, she smiled to him. She couldn't help but wonder if he liked her too. It looked like he did... She said, "Ready? Set? Go!" Curler had heard this word too many times, and shot off without cue. His rider was letting him, so he stretched his legs out right away.

Robert went into a jockey position as soon as the colt bolted. he let the colt gain his strides befdore he checked the colt into a steadier gallop. Right now the colt was outta controll and was one way to loose a race and a way to injure a horse depending on how bad the horse was running and how fast. Robert soon checked the colt as he held the colt back hoping for the colt to climb. Which meant that the jockey held the horse backa dn the horses head was really high that the horse had to slow down. Robert stood a tad up in his irons as it gave all jockeies more power to pull up the horses after a race or what so. It helped the horse to calm down and to slow down. Hopefully this worked.

Ella nodded as she kept her eyes on her horse and his jockey. Robert seemed to be handling the bolting colt quite well. In response, Curler did even out his strides into a comfortable but a little tiring pace. He gave up fighting for his head for a little and just ran with the flow at what he was allowed. Ella had never seen him behave so well! Curler's mouth had a little foam forming at it's corner and he toyed with his bit a little.

Robert was quite surprised as the colt listened up and slowed down. As they reached up onto the 2 furlong pole Robert spoke upone the horse. "Okay boy, tell me when you're ready adn we will go!" Robert said waiting for the horse to give himn a s him as they gained a tad of speed. His hands moving along with the colts neck and his body lowered ontop on the colts withers closer to his withers and mane. Justa waiting to go.

Fire in his eyes, he snorted and started extending his stride and lowering his head. His muscles expanded and contracted with power. His tail flew straight out behind him and his mane was in a ball getting more and more tangled by the second. He was running, and this was his place to be.
Ella grinned. This couldn't have been going better. Her horse was acting wonderfully under the command of Robert. Hopefully he chose to keep riding Curler, for the colt seemed to quiet down under his strict but fair hand.

Robert waited as the snort entered his ear and went out the other as he heard the colt tell him he was ready. " Okay boy, let's show her what we got!" he shouted to the colt. He soon let more reign slide out of his hands but not all. He then crouched down even lower and kneeded his arms along with the colts neck pumping the colt's head on and on again. His arms did a cross with the reigns encouraging the colt even more as he soon reach back for the whip. he grabbed the whip and brought it down by the colts face. Robert shadowed the colt showing the whip to the colt by his right eye as he waved it up adn down. He pushed harder and hard with his arms as he gave the colt a small hit on the hindquarters asking for all he had as he began whipping the colt little by little.

The colt recognized the black stick by his eye as an encouragement to run. He reached his legs out further and with more speed. When they whipped back in, they curled under, almost touching. He was enjoying this sprint. His black tail nipped at his hocks. His breathing was becoming a tad heavier, but he was still eager to run. He never stopped the need for it.

Robert pushed even more and even harder then before. "Come on boy. I know you have more. One more furlong to show what you have. " he slapped the horse a bunch more times across his flank with the whip as it stung like always. Robert pushed harder and harder but kept whipping the black colt hoping he could get more.

The colt was on his breaking point as he shifted one last gear. His nostrils were flared and watery discharge was running from them. He seemed to snort with each breath, but kept going. He wanted to avoid the lashing of his rear end. A little red appeared where one blow had cut through his flesh. He whinnied as he saw his female owner again. She looked so calm.
Ella thumbed the red button that said end time. What an amazing time! She grinned, though was a little sad. Curler could go acceptably and more fast without the use of a crop, but that was besides the point. He had gotten the time of 0:43:.489! She hopped off the rail as Curler slowed to a canter to ease his burning chest.

Robert soon raised his hand with a little cheer that they did so well. He stood up in the irons and placed his crop in his jeans pocket. He slowed the colt and turned him as they made their way over to Ella. Robert reached down praising the colt rubbing his neck a few times before smiling as he glanced up at Ella. he sure was proud of their time and Curler. he did a great job and almost beat the record time. It was a good workout.

With a large grin on her face, she ducked under the rail and jogged to the sweating horse and rider. "Awesome! You guys got 0:43:489!" she said in congratulations. She patted the horse's black neck and rubbed his nose. "Good boy," she cooed to the colt. Ella took the reins, ready for Robert to hop down. "I hope you are just as satisfied as I am," she said with a smile to Robert. He had given that little victory punch of the air, so hopefully he was as satisfied as he appeared. And maybe they would give it a go, just maybe.

Robert smiled as he soon pulled the colt to a halt. He took his feet out of the irons and jumped off the colts back with a big grin on his face as well. "He sure has the speed of him. "The speed of Curler"!" Robert said with a cheerful smile and yelp. He reached over rubbing the colts sweaty neck before looking back and grinning at Ella. They got locked in a love moment before he turned his head away and started to rub the colt to get him mind off that moment. "So what's next?' He asked ehr hoping to get a responce.
