Mia mounted, her eyes closed as soon as soon as she got comfortable in the saddle, every time she rode she prayed. Her mouthed moved in a familiar prayer that was in her native tongue, objiwe. She smiled as she let Sweetheart prance in place to get her muscles ready to race.
Hope smiled as she pulled her brunette ringlets in a bun and put on her favorite baseball cap. After she gave herself a quick once over in the mirror she headed out. She needed to check on Firefoot and Lyric and excerise them. She couldn't think Aiden enough for helping her with Lyric and she thought now was the perfect time to repay him for that debt. She would muck Shadow's and a couple other of his horse's stall and she would make sure they had plenty of hay and water.
As soon as Hope got to the barn, she got to work.

Dziki Aniol did a little dance; rolling the bit along his tongue and trotting sideways. He spun around at the bare brush of leather to his red neck's fur obsequiously; eyes wide and ears flying forward, then back, then forward. When Skya clicked her tongue he did a little hoppy trot a few steps forward, neck arched. The peppy colt seemed a bit excited, so she dug her heels into his flanks and he sank his butt down, dragging into a wide canter, legs spreading in an elongated gait. She brought him in long circles, working his legs and burning off some of his excess energy. Then she trotted him to continue warming him up, before she took him in tight, tight circles each way, making sure he responded well both ways and that he was sound, at least as sound as he got. Skya deemed him prepared; stopping him and reining him to face one of the stables's entrances. Then she noticed Bellamy, at the same time Aniol did. One ear flicked forward from where it had been tipped back previously so as to catch the slightest noise from his rider, and he let out a nicker to the stallion. The two year old colt took a few steps forward, stomping his back foot roughly when halted.
Skya ran her hand up and down his neck before making a kiss noise. He returned his attention to her. "hey, Bell," she greeted without a smile, one eyebrow higher than the other. This actually was not her being rude, a typical greeting. "Mind accompanying me on a trail ride?" she queried as she kept Aniol idle, him loitering a few feet from Fancy Sox. His head was drooped slightly, ears forward as he elongated his neck to sniff at Sox even though he was many feet away.
Dziki Aniol shook out his mane, losing interest too fast. He looked off into the distance, something catching his eye as he busied himself in studying a few birds in the distance. When they flew up and flapped right above his head, he snorted and arched his neck, flinching and lifting his front hooves barely up, hopping to the side, bouncing and shivering a few times as he attempted to subtly flee away, backing up frantically in the opposite direction. The whites of his eyes showed but he responded sensitively to the bit as it tugged on his jaw, biting down on the metal between his teeth. "it's just birds, silly," she teased the skittish colt as he watched the creatures overhead as they flew into the distance, ears cupped in their direction.
He easily recovered, ears perked as he gazed around, alert but calm again. The colt was a bit of a handful, but he kept Skya entertained.

[Take the time that you need, Spots. Dry those tears and smile for us. We'll support you during the tough times.
WTF IS WRONG WITH KIDS TV SHOWS THESE DAYS?!
Leo, should I bring in Sasha shortly? I guess maybe it'd be nice for Skya to see him back first. XD Except, you know, he's back to his rude, bad self.]
Aiden was shaking his head even before Sekhmet could finish her offer. "Sekh, I'm not going to ask that of you. You've done so much already and while you're on break from school, why take on more paperwork? I don't mind doing it, so long as I'm able to get out now and then, as I've said." Aiden had definitely said this several times before to Sekhmet and he wanted to remind her again. She didn't need to take everything on. He'd hired an office manager recently that would be taking over most of the paperwork soon, which Aiden looked forward to having. This would free up both Sekhmet and himself to fully focus on racing again. Or, in Sekh's case, racing and school.
He decided it'd be a good idea to change the subject and turned abruptly to face the Egyptian. "So, how's Shady Grove doing? Any improvements? What about upcoming races? He liked to try and attend some of the closer races to see the progress, otherwise, he'd watch the simulcast recordings of the races so he could see first hand the improvements and techniques of the horses boarded at his facility. Maybe he was nosy, maybe he was smart.

(Sorry I hopped on my new Kindle)
Sekhmet pursed her lips, the expression quickly fading away at the mention of her mare. "She's doing wonderful. She's gotten more used to the gate, though she's still a bit skittish, and she's getting better with her timing on the track." The horse had indeed been doing much better. She'd lost several seconds on her best time and was getting better at sticking to the rail when she ran. "Who is your main mount these days?" she suddenly asked, honestly curious. Shadow Hunter was retired and Gal was unpleasant, so Sekhmet wondered who he'd picked up as a mount.

Aiden pursed his lips in thought before crooking a finger, a gesture for Sekhmet to follow him. She'd no doubt passed this colt multiple times each day, but he didn't think she'd given the colt much attention. Honestly, in appearance, the colt reminded him strongly of Shadow Hunter, but the resemblances stopped there. He led the way toward Transcendence's stall, smirking. The tall, slim two year old was asleep, bits of hay still hanging from his lips. His weight was leaning toward the right, left hind hoof cocked. He wasn't fully grown quite yet, so he was still built a touch uphill. He'd soon fill out and even out on the topline. "My current main mount is our little Tranny. Well, Transcendence. I bet he hates to be called that." Aiden grinned in amusement. The colt probably had no idea what a tranny was.
