Story~┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

May shivered as bone chilling rain pelted on her. Today was the big day. She was taking her father's best horse and barrel racing him in the Mist dale championships.
Comet was a mighty grulla tobiano stallion, agile as a cat but swift as the wind. The great horse was sweet and strong willed, always getting those extra sugar cubes you left in your pocket.
The 18 year old, May trampled into the stables. It was early in the morning, so she had to get to work. Grooming the show horses and making them as clean and slick as possible was a priority on show days! May loved nothing more than to see a well-groomed horse wearing sparkling western show tack.
She breathed in the musty smell of hay and adjusted her eyes in the gloomy stable light. Warmth at last. Along with a hungry horse and
a lot of work to do.
May walked up to the stall labelled "Comet's Legacy." A beautiful stallion nickered softly at the approaching human. "Hey, boy, how are you?" she asked as she stroked his velvety muzzle. "Today's the big day! But first, we need to get you some of those oats." She immediately got to work. 2 scoops of oats and one of premium horse feed into Comet's bucket. Comet dug in, relishing and savoring every bite. Nothing beat show meals.
Soon, the stallion was finished his breakfast. May equipped his blue halter and lead rope and put him in the cross ties.
Then she groomed him first with a curry comb, followed by a round brush. She picked up each of his hooves and cleaned them, carefully ridding of all the grit and hay stuck in them. Now, out comes the hoof polisher! Each of Comet's hooves were polished till they shone. A few more steps such as combing out his mane and tail and Comet's Legacy was dazzling!
May then took out the leather cleaner and polished all of Comet's fancy show tack, humming as she worked. May loved being around the horses, even if it meant work. Soon enough she was finished. By then, the rain had ceased bringing out a sunny, bright sky. May frowned. The rain would leave the barrel racing ring wet and slippery. There was nothing she could do though. She would just have to cope with it.

It was a few hours later. May and Comet were at the county fair. Comet was unloaded out of his trailer and brought to the fairs stables, where he was being polished and shone up again quickly. May walked up to the barrel racing ring.
Yep. She thought.
As wet as can be. The ring looked like a mud pit. She glanced around and saw some other disappointed riders over looking the course. To get her mind off of the wet ring, se went off to change into her western apparel.
May was mounted on Comet. The team felt fresh, ready, and nervous. May tried hard to fight the butterflies in her stomach while Comet pawed the ground, impatient. Those oats May had fed him this morning were making him energetic. May could hear the loud speakers announcing the next name, along with some shouting and cheering. "Hannah Stevenson, riding Little Miss!"
A few minutes later, another name was announced. "May Johnston, on Comet's Legacy!"
May could only hear the beating of her own heart and the pounding of Comet's hooves as Comet lurched forwards. May was snapped back into reality.
Ok. Slight pressure with your calf bones, she thought as Comet bent around the first barrel. She lightly clicked with her tongue to Comet, urging him faster. When May was racing Comet, it seemed as if the world was theirs; the cheering and the sound of a Ferris wheel fading away. Right now, all May could concentrate on was the race. Bending around the barrels agilely, and racing to the next one in a flurry of hooves. May’s cowboy hat nearly flew away off her head. Comet responded quickly and swiftly to all of her commands. May was having the time of her life! She felt so connected to Comet and Comet felt as if he depended on her. The next barrel loomed ahead of May and her great stallion. "Com on, Comet. Let’s show these people how to really race!" She whispered to her horse. With her words, Comet lurched forwards with incredible speed and whipped around the second barrel. Soon they bent around the third, narrowly touching it. The wet ground had unbalanced them and Comet nearly slipped. The recovered though, and as they galloped towards the finish line, May lifted a fist. They may have not won, but Comet and the girl had felt a connection between each other like none other. Comet skidded to a stop at the finish line. May dismounted, panting and kissed Comet on his velvety muzzle. He snorted softly, and the girl giggled slightly. “You big, beautiful rascal.”
The scores were announced. “In first place, Trista Hamilton, on Black Beauty!” People cheered, including May who had to fight down a jolt of disappointment. “And in second place, May Johnston, on Comet’s Legacy!” “Whew hew!” May hugged her father, who was also cheering. They had made it to the top.
It was a few hours later. May was on her way to the stables to visit Comet. They were home at last. Comet was fed and rubbed, and his new ribbon was showing off on his stall door, right next to his name plate. “Hey, big boy!” May softly called Comet. The horse thrust his muzzle out of the stall door, looking for treats. May giggled. “Here you are.” The stallion licked up the sugar cubes in May’s palm.
“You did good today, Comet’s Legacy.” May looked into the great stallion’s eyes. “Real good.”
