Coal snorted and pawed the sawdust in his stall. All of the negative energy made him uneasy. Haley soothed him and rubbed his ears, but she couldn't help but look at the giant creature.


"Oh, you are Skywalker's new owner? I must admit, that is brave of you!" Haley pushed her light brown hair out of her face and leaned against the stable. "He's one of the most spirited Thoroughbreds on the track. Do you plan on racing him? Oh, and I'm Haley, by the way!"

"Uh, yes, but be careful! He bites!" Haley warned. "Burning Charcoal is a rescue horse. He was abused in several Trail Class competitions by his owner, and was therefor given to me. Now, the bond between us is unbreakable, but he hates strangers."

"Charcoal did the same thing to a stable hand after one of his competitions, and that reminds me, do you have a show name for him yet? Skywalker, I mean.
"Oh, cool! I moved to town and bought Coal about a year ago! Everyone else in the stable has been here at least two years! Well, those that stay, that is."

Haley stepped outside leading Coal behind her. He wore a black western bridle with a loose bit, and a large black western saddle.
Haley mounted Burning Charcoal and trotted him into the field. Coal began to canter towards a jump that had been set up earlier, and he flew over it easily. Then, he galloped in a semi circle and and slowed to a walk. "That's his basic warm up. The first part of it anyways."


"C'mon, Charcoal!" Haley kicked her heels, sending Burning Charcoal at a gallop. Together, they rode after the fast moving Thoroughbred.



"I think I might walk him. He's pretty tired from that chase!" Haley rubbed Coal's ears. "Come on then!"
