Ex race horse, still got some speed (R) [[Stormsong]]

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I was testing out my legs for the first time in awhile since I had escaped from the race track. My long legs carried me quickly across the grassy flats, not even nowing where I was headed. I came to stop by a nearby pond and stopped to rest. Well at least I knew I still had speed!

[Stormsong]

(Yay!)

Wildwind trotted up to the stream and drank from the cool water. He lifted his head when he heard the sound of thudering hooves. He watched the horse gallop around several times for the horse gave stopped with a triumphant look in his eye. "Great job!" he whinnied to the horse. "You got some speed in those legs!"

Velocity~

I whirled around and looked at him, startled. "I..I didn't realize anyone was watching me.." I said and then walked away slowly, occasionally looking back to see if he was looking at me. "But thanks for the compliment.." I said under my breath.

[Stormsong]

Wildwind cocked his head. "I heard you before I saw you. You are pretty fast," he said.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I turned around and looked at him. "Thank you.. I used to be pretty good" I said, looking off into the distance, wondering if anyone back home from the race track ever wondered where I was or if they even missed me. "used to be..." i sighed.

[Stormsong]

Wildwind looked at the horse. "Used to be? What happened?" he asked.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I sighed and began to confess what happened. "I was at the peak of my last racing year and something happened.. something that caused me to not be able to race. I was so distraught that I ran away in anger, hoping to start a new life where I could forget about all that. But what happened didn't make it any better.." I trailed off.

[Stormsong]

"I'm sorry to hear that, I couldn't even beign to imagine what it must have been like," he nickered. He flicked his tail and trotted up to the horse. "What's your name by the way?"

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I laughed slightly, understanding the circumstances and what not. "I'm Velocity" I said. "And yours?" I asked him.

[Stormsong]

"My name is Wildwind," the grey stallion dipped his head. "It's a pleasure to meet you Velocity."

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I pawed the ground slightly and thought about what I should say. "Well... aren't you wondering what happened to me that caused me to run away and quit racing?" I asked him.

[Stormsong]

Wildwind tilted one ear to the side in embarrassment. "Of course, please conintue," he said politely.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I continued.. "well I had just came back from a long trip, and my owners let me spend the next few says in the meadow at the stables. There were other horses in there but they were all females. That night the head stud got out of his corral and came into our meadow. He got pretty much all of us pregnant. Including me. The next couple months my owners saw that I wasn't running well and was kinda slow. They took me to the vet and they confirmed that I was pregnant. They dismissed me from racing , so I decided to run away cuz I thought I was useless."

[Stormsong]

"Wait a sec, you're pregnant?" Wildwind asked, slightly alarmed.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

"I was, but im not now. That was a year ago... I lost the foal." I said sadly.

[Stormsong]

"I'm sorry to hear that," he said matching her tone.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

"That's alright, it's over and done with now." I said. "Enough about me, I wanna hear about your life."

[Stormsong]

"Well what would you like to know?" he asked.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

"I don't know where to start, so you tell me" I laughed and swished my tail around.

[Stormsong]

Wildwind laughed with her. "There's not much to say about me. I was born and bred in the wild. I have never came into human contact, though I have seen them before," he told her.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

"Well that makes me seem like a city slicker!" I laughed. I was a racehorse born and raised at the track until I got pregnant when I was 4, my prime time. I was 7 now, having been in the wild for 3 years. I had never really came into contact with many horses, mayb a couple times just to say hello. But never been in a herd. I was practically a loner. "Do you travel alone, or have a herd?" I asked.

[Stormsong]

"No I don't have a herd. I left mine when I was old enough to be on my own. It's been just me ever since," he explained. "What about you?"

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

"Ever since I escaped I have mostly been alone. I know that is weird, considering how many horses are here. I met a couple horses here and there, but they were friendly. I had nobody with me when I had the foal, so that's why I think I lost it. It as my first birth and I had no idea on how to be a mom. I still feel guilty because it was partly my fault it died." I scuffed the ground with my hoof. "Nothing I can do about it now though."

[Stormsong]

Wildwind sighed and changed the topic. "Do you want to come and graze with me? I know this really nice spot where the grass is lush and miost," he inclined his head and waited for her to answer.

[Faded*~*Light]

Velocity~

I snorted sort of happily and looked at him. "Yes, that would be nice" I smiled and started to follow him.
