Description
" Today was the big day. Beauty competition, heh. Asgard hadn't been a fan of the idea to show off Soaring Phoenix' horses like models but he ended up "convinced". The prospect of getting to train Dunes next foal was quite the deal-maker.
So he fetched the stallion from SPS spacious pastures at the crack of dawn, cleaned him up and made sure he looked his best. Screw additional accessoires, the desert was stunning on his own. He decided against the usual neck halter for the sake of not restricting Dunes mane and just lead the horse by the golden horn chain. No worries there, the stallion usually was quite the smart trickster but the redheaded handler had earned his respect.
Everything went well as they arrived on the show grounds, although the stallion seemed more high-strung than usual. He pawed the ground impatiently and snorted a lot. Asgard chalked it up to the presence of the other ballators, especially a young mares inviting whinnies seemed to catch Dunes attention. He managed to distract the stallion with his favourite treats and lead him into the show ring as their number was called up.
Stopping in front of the judges, he halted the stallion and gently patted his neck. "Good -" Dune let out a snort, rattled his manes and with a push of his hindquarters broke the halter chain. "...boy?" Asgard stared as the stallion took off, his golden coat gleaming in the sun, strutting his stuff in the show ring. "Damnit, Dune...", he couldn't help but laugh. At least the stallion was showing off, right? With the grin still on his face he set out to reign the desert in before Dune could think of his other favourite activity ... "
