Shenanigans - August Week 4
Taylor trailered a very strung filly over to The Wire's course early one morning. All was quiet as she climbed out of her truck. The morning coolness sent a chill down her spine. Summer had ended. Fall was clearly taking over. Taylor slipped on her windbreaker and made her way to the two horse trailer she had hitched to her truck. A whinny escaped from the open side window. The sound of stomping hooves followed. It was the two year old black filly Shenanigans. Shanna was getting irritably impatient. She kicked at the ramp door and let out a snort. Taylor shook her head with a smile. Someone was wound up. She realized she had forgotten to get herself a cup of coffee. She knew she was going to need it but she would have to do without this time.
She backed the black giant down the ramp. Shanna took a quick look around, admiring the surroundings. Whinnies echoed from the shedrow. She answered with a shrill whinny of her own. "It's too early for that, spunky", Taylor said. She lead the filly back to the Sugarhill barn. The lone horse in the barn was Majestic Hero. He nickered a welcome to the filly. Taylor gave him a scratch behind the ear before she put Shanna on crossties. The energy inside the young horse continued to build as she was groomed and tacked. The track vet stopped by the check her legs and make sure she was sound and ready to run. She was beyond ready.
The moment finally came once Taylor rode the big filly onto the turf course. She wanted to take it easy on her. Shanna was happy go lucky this morning. She was ready to run.
