She got on Twi and went to practice.

She ran a few laps and slowed down to a walk. "Good Westie," she praised with a pat on the neck. She watched Twilight and smirked. "New?"
-
Twilights rider nodded and they ran four laps in the same time it took Westie and Hannah to do two.
-
He nodded his head and ate some hay. "Don't be affended, but I've never seen an Arabian race horse before." he said.He grew up in the richest of neighborhoods. His owner was the richest person in the town, due to their great race horses. He was used to all these races, he even liked them. He loved getting the attention.
"Yeah...I was kind of forced into this." Beauty replied a little quieter. She then noticed the other horse. "Who are you?" She asked. But, by the time she asked, they were already out on the track running some laps. Daring Beauty was taken out of her stall byher forceful owner. He whipped her and she whinnied in pain. Now she would have even more scars and bruising. He mounted her after the tack was put on and took her out to the track to warm up. "You lazy mare, get going! We will keep winning these races!" He shouted.
-
Hannah rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Come on Westie, let's take it easy." she said as she did an easy gallop around the feild, passing Twilight easily. "Wait here Westie," she said as she got off. "I'll be right back, I just have to make sure the paperwork is correct." she said, then walked away.
Westie noticed Beauty, running laps as her owner whipped her harshly. He frowned a little and stood there, watching them closly.
-
He went by the name of Stefano, a brutal Italian man that always seemed to be burly and had a cigar in his mouth, but he was insturcted to remove it while racing. One hand with the whip, and the other fierecly on Beauty's mane, he whipped her as hard as he could. Daring Beauty snorted angrily and began to pick up speed. "Come on you stupid horse, is that all you've got?!" He sneered.
-
Hannah watched from afar, her eyes narrowing in anger. She hated when owners were abusive to their horses, it made her sick to her stomach. Yes, she was really competitive, but she would never beat her horse. "Come on Westie," she said, grabbing the bridle. "Back to the stalls." she said, leading him into his stall.
-
Stefano was the only one on the track left with Daring Beauty, who at this time, was wearing out now. She wouldn't have enough strength left for the race at this rate.
-
Westy chewed on the carrot Hannah gave him and drank some water, hoping Beauty would come back soon.
Hannah leaned against the wall, watching Stefano and Beauty closely.
-
After what seemed like an hour of training and practice, Stefano dismounted Beuaty and whipped her very hard, sending her fleeing back into her stall. Once she reached it, she was literally panting with the effort, every part of her was soaked to the skin.
-
Hannah snorted in discust and walked back to her truck to buy some things for Westy.
"You alright?" asked Westy, a bit concerned.
-
Beauty shook out her mane and practically her whole body as if she were a wet mutt. "Yeah...I'm fine." She muttered, heading to her water trough and spending the whole time there.
-
"He worked you pretty hard." he said, watching her closely. "I guess that's just his way to train you." he said with a sigh.
-
"Yeah pretty much...." Beauty replied with a sigh, still drinking.
-
"Well," he said, yawning. "I'm going to rest. We have the race tomorrow." he reminded.
-
Beauty snorted. The race was the last thing she wanted on her mind right now. She closed her eyes unwillingly and drifted off into restless sleep.
-
"Wake up Westy!" sang Hannah, patting his neck gently. "Look at you. All dirty!" she said, kissing his nose. "Let's go wash off." she said, pulling out Westy by a lead rope. She looked over and noticed Beauty, a kind smile on her face. "Hey baby," she said soothingly, stroking Beauty on the nose gently.
-
Beauty whinnied a little, but she moved away from Hannah nervously, unsure of what to do or think. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment.
Stefano entered the stall area and shot a glare at Hannah. "Ey! Get away from my horse!" He snapped.
-
"My apologies," she said, taking a step back. "But she seemed like she needed some TLC." she said, taking Westys bridle. "Too many whippings can be deadful." she said with a wink before walking out.
-
Stefano just rolled his eyes and snatched Beauty out of her stall by the mane and began to groom her ferociously before saddling her up. Then he took her face firmly within the palms of his hands. "We will win this yet again! If you fail me here, I will kill you!" With that, he mounted her and he whipped her off. Beauty gulped, she'd better not let her master down.
