Tenacity had her beautiful sorrel gleaming from the hour she had spent brushing him. She had also gotten him tacked up and ready to go. She slipped the D-ring snaffle into the stallion's mouth and put the bridle up over his alert ears. She grabbed a handful of his long mane and vaulted onto his back, a trick she had taught herself a long time ago,infact it was back on Daddy's ranch., she thought to herself. Cash danced down the aisle on their way to the gallop track. He pushed against the tight rein that Tenacity kept on him. "You think I'm going to loosen up? The way you act? Yea right!" She laughed out loud as she talked to her spirited stallion. Cash gave a small leap as the track came into to sight. Once back under control, Tenacity led Cash in through a narrow opening. She gently nudged Cash with her heels, bringing him into a steady, ground covering canter. They covered the track easily and in a little amount of time. Tenacity let a grin spread across her face as Cash's ears pricked forward, he knew it was about time to run again. Tenacity leaned forward in the small training saddle, relaxing her hands against his thickly muscled neck. Cash felt the reins go slack and leapt into a flying gallop. His powerful haunches puched him forward as his forelegs pulled at the soft turf ahead. Tenacity laughed as Cash's long mane blew against her rosy cheeks, tickling the soft skin. Once the cleared the track Tenacity pulled gently on the bit, slowing him into a slow gallop, then a canter, then a trot, and finally she got him to stop. She patted his neck, noticing he hadn't even broken a sweat, and kissed the base of his mane. She quickly dismounted and led him back into the barn, grooming him thoroughly once more before putting him back in his oversized stall.
