Across the parking lot, Mirage's eyes fell upon a nervous looking black stallion. Being the curious and slightly crazy horse she was, she turned tail, grabbed the bit in her mouth and bolted towards the strange horse.
Bella, who had been surprised by the sudden spooking of her mare managed to hang on until she was faced with the gate. She did an emergency dismount and rolled to the left of the mare's pounding hooves. "What the hell is wrong with her!" yelled an exasperated Bella.
She continued to run, barely aware that she had unseated her rider. She sailed over the metal gate and continued at her fastest gallop towards the stallion.

Shiann glanced up in time to see a mare leaving a cloud of dust and a rider tumbling behind her heading straight for Thanatos. She dropped the grooming kit back into the truck and ran, from a trained instinct, in front of her beloved stallion to try to catch the roan, as it seemed that was where she was headed, and she didn't know the mare's intentions for her horse.
Thanatos, hyped up yet again, picked up his head even higher and snorted, ever the incorrigible show-off, especially for pretty mares. He danced around a bit, ready to bolt if she turned out to be hostile, forgetting completely that he was tied to the trailer and was either staying put or suddenly becoming big and strong enough to take the trailer and the truck with him, which was very likely not going to happen.

I looked to the trailer with the rearing stallion, and, naturally, so did Jazz. I was so glad we got along. That I brought him instead of any other stallion. Or mare for that matter. I had just got done with my left-sided warm up when Mirage started to act up. "Easy, girl" I said to her, but to no use, she bolted, and unusually, Jazz jumped straight up into the air, then turned and headed for Mirage. I HAD to get off. I myself did an emergency dismount and rolled, hitting the ground where Bella had gotten off, I watched as my stallion cleared the metal gate with ease and raced after the mare, who was headed towards the rearing stallion. "He is NOT getting any sort of reward today." I said, shaking my head before I opened the arena's gate and raced after my horse.
He could smell it in the air, another feisty stallion. Jazz got protective as he watched Mirage closely, sort of wishing they were just in field without these darn riders. Danielle had called his attention right before he heard hooves pounding the ground, it spooked him and he couldn't help himself. But, she was running towards the stallion. Suddenly his adrenaline started and he had to show the mare he was the stallion around here and bolted after her, forgetting there was a rider on his back. He felt something come off before he got to the gate though, he wasn't carrying as much weight. He knew he could jump the gate and he did, catching up to mirage "Hey, look at me!" He whinnied to her.

Bella pulled herself up from the ground and dashed after her. "Are you alright?" she yelled. "It seems that we are having the WORST luck with horses today. Mirage looks like she's going for that black horse..." she said in horror.
"Now that's more like it!" said Mirage as she raced side by side with him. She had forgotten about the black stallion that she had ran out to meet and galloped trough the parking lot. "This will teach her to keep my locked up!" The pride in her voice was apparent.
Right as Bella had reached the trailer with the black stallion she heard the call over the loudspeaker for Barrel Racing contenders to make their way towards the arena.

Shiann yanked the rope free and slung the saddle over Thanatos, with him trying to dance away from her. She didn't know what the now two horses were going to do, but she'd always been told the safest place to be during something like this was on one of the horses, and the barrel competition was starting now. She swore under her breath as she tightened the cinch and pulled the hackamore over his head- No time to wrestle a bit over his head.
Thanatos didn't try to pull away from the bridle- Rather, he welcomed it, he knew the voice of the speakers, and he knew what it meant, but he also knew that the bridle meant he would be free from the trailer, and freedom meant he could meet the two horses barreling toward him- Or get out of their way, as they were coming pretty fast.
Shiann glanced nervously at the roan mare and the appy stallion, giving Thanatos the back-up command, then not knowing what to do. She supposed either they would stop, and she would be able to catch them and return them to their owners who looked like had both been forcibly dismounted, or they would continue running past and Thanatos would get out of the way. Quickly.

I'm trying to sell some of mine, but I haven't really had the time to put them up here so I'm hoping someone will just happen to see them and be like OMG ZOMG FOALS YES WANT PLZ. But it hasn't happened yet, lol. XD It would probably help if I got the parents registered, so far I've only sent in an app for one stallion though. D:

Aw, thank you! ^_^ I may end up just aging them up and showing/breeding them myself, if no one sends in any applications.
