Nari: We headed into the woods, our horses side by side. I could feel Blood Ruby's sleek coat through my pants, and with every step she took I could feel the strength in her legs. I could tell Blood Ruby wanted to go much faster, but we weren't quite ready to stop looking around the woods. There were lots of rabbits and deer.

Yuliya:
Although I cold sense the forest around me, all I could feel was the gentle rythm of Chornyy Samotsvit's movements. Studies showed that the movement of a horse released chemicals in your mind that made you happy. But I could feel in her movemen that she was holding in a lot of speed.

Yuliya:
I nodded.
"So does Chornyy Samotsvit. But first I want to show you something." I practiced the special, almost dressage move. It was making your horse halt without using the reins.
"Tense your belly, arch your back, no pressure with legs, look high."

Setanta: i cantered into the woods, and saw two girls on horseback, doing a complicated dressage move. "Hey!" i called out, and touched my heels to Astar's sides.

Yuliya:
I heard a person call out.
"Oh my gosh, people!" I lightly pulled out the reins so she would turn around.
"Hi! Who are you? What's your name? Where did you go before here? What's your horse's name and breed? Do you like horses? I do, my name's Yuliya Dukhkin'!"

Setanta: i laughed at Yuliya's outburst. "I'm Setanta Bellamy, and this is Dansaddh Astar." i patted my horse's neck. "She's half Connemara, half Arabian, and i love her."

Nari: "Hi Setanta, I'm Nari and this is Blood Ruby, my morgan. Does your horses name have a meaning? What language?"

Nari:
"Yeah, Yuliya's nosy, but she says she can keep a secret. I trust her anyway... And apparently other people do too," I said to Setanta.
