Prompt: Evelyn has a strong passion for dance! As a calf, Evelyn's pasture was located right next to a dressage arena, often used by students taught by the barn's owner. She loved to spend her days watching the horse's trot and prance around, loving the fluidity and elegance of it all. She began to try some moves on her own, stumbling around with an apparent lack of coordination at first. Evelyn had to endure the giggles of her barn-mates, and even her own mother as she practiced. This was all until one fateful day which would change Evelyn's future and shape her entire life. The barn's owner had recently purchased a new dressage horse, yet this horse had some problems. As wonderful as he was at dressage, this gelding absolutely refused to remain in a stall, kicking and cribbing the wood, as well as constantly looking for an escape. To solve these issues, the owner had decided that she would test out how he lived in the cows' pasture, which ended up working out far better. One afternoon, the proud gelding spotted something in the corner of his eye. Was this cow...dancing? It looked like she was sure trying, but he couldn't help but notice her lack of skill. He gingerly trotted over, though kept his head held high.
"What on earth are you doing?"
Evelyn jumped back with a bit of shock and angrily looked up at the horse.
"Dancing, if you must know"
He snorted and began to burst out laughing, Evelyn looking on him with angry hurt.
"That's definitely not dancing, but I can teach you if you'd like. I've been practicing dressage since I could wear a saddle"
Evelyn had steamy tears welling up in her eyes, but hesitantly agreed with a solemn nod of her head. That was where it all began, as the two began to practice day and night., sometimes to the dismay of the napping gelding. Years later, Evelyn is able to move with the same elegance that she had admired so long ago, fluidly moving around the pasture. The other cows looked upon her with curiosity and sometimes jealousy, and the barn's owner was shocked by her antics. Evelyn still spends her days with her old friend, dancing nearly all day, every day. It's what she's truly passionate about, and is incredibly thankful for that gelding, who she began to call Racer a while into their friendship. Evelyn believed that he had helped her to discover her potential for what she felt was her true purpose, dance.
