Black Splash With Blaze and Brown Eyes

Cortega had never been wild. He had been born on the ranch. Ever since he was a young foal, he knew that he was meant for barrel racing and calf roping. He would follow in his sire's steps. He also knew he belonged to the boss man and that he would be his horse. The boss man took his time in getting him ready to be ridden. He would be three years old before the boss man would fully ride him for long periods of time and that was when his training started. He would go to be a prize winning stallion. By the time they brought home a wild dunalino yearling, he was fifteen with twelve years of experience. Like his father before him, he would tell Esper what her purpose would be. He would first tell her it was barrel racing but there was something more important. Her most important purpose was to be Paulie's friend.
