Character's education:Semestered out of school early earning her grade 12 diploma. Non school related: CEF Coach 2
Sample Post: Sky stood back in the paddock area and watched the bay gelding she was about to race. He was roudy nipping at the handlers and trainer and kicking out at as they tightened his girth. Ransom Note was just a two year old but she had watched him race and he was fast and cocky.
As the handlers paraded the horses in the circle, Sky followed the other jockeys out to there horses and with the help of a handler mount.
Sky shortened her reins quickly and slid her feet into her stirrups. Soon they were trotting beside there pony horse and Sky posted in sync with her mount's even cadence.She was the one of the only female jockey's and she always strove to outdo the boys. It was in her nature and now she sat atop a winner or so she hoped.
She pressed the gelding into a canter to warm him up and chatted half attentivley to the ponier. As soon as the head pony horse yelled " To the Gaits!" Sky rose in her stirrups and balanced above the gelding on their way to the gaits.
"Have a good race." her pony horse's mount said as the other girl handed her off to the attendant.
Ransom Note balked at the gaits at first but then he went easily into the number four whole. Sky was happy that he stood in the gaits calmy,her heart on the other hand was racing a mile a minute. She shortened her reins and knotted her fingers in the colt's mane.
She could feel the adreniline rush through her body as the gaits burst open and they surged forward......
