Nick chuckled. “Yea, I know a thing or two about impatient horses.” He agreed, casting a playful glare at Roulette. He shook Leo’s hand. “Nicholas. But you can call me Nick.” He greeted formally with a smile. “If y’all need anything just give me a holler, alright?” And he nodded, leading his horse away from the group and into the rink. He ran her along the side of the fence, trotting with her as a warm up. Afterwards, he swung his feet over the saddle and mounted, kicking gently against his mare’s sides, signaling to go. Roulette entered a trot, then to a canter, then to a full out gallop. The two raced around five times, dodging the markers and working on weaving from the outside in. Nick made Roulette stay on the inside corner for the last round, keeping close to the rail at all times. Their next race was two weeks from now and they could use all the practice they could get.
A half an hour passed and Nick slowed down, keeping a trot. They did a cool down lap before he brought Roulette around to the water trough. He dismounted and gave her neck a loving pat. “You did well today, Roulie.” He complimented. She gave a small nicker and he kissed her forehead. The two stood there for a moment before Nick pulled away. “Wanna go for a trail ride?” He asked Roulette, looking around to see if anyone wanted to join him.
