The air was cool and and the sun was hot on this fine summer day. Kirsten pushed away a lock of hair that managed to fall over her face. Little beads of sweat threatened to roll down her cheek. She was riding Speed Demon, her fastest sprinter in her stable. She was not used to training sprinters since most of her horses got trained for long distance races since they are the races that had the bigger purses.
Demon has been burning up the track lately and has been training really well. No other horse of hers could probably beat Demon at a 5 furlong race. Now they were taking the day off his intense training to go for a nice trail ride. Though Demon might think this is a new and relaxing experience for him it actually is to develop muscles and give him better endurance.
Demon trotted along the trails tossing his head once in a while. He was definitely in high spirits today. He was feeling great this morning. Kirsten grinned down at the chestnut colt. "You're having a good time aren't you?" She giggled as he cut her off with a snort. It was if to say that he would prefer being on the track where the real action was. He tried to break out into a gallop but Kirsten was able to keep him at a nice canter. "Slow down Demon, you'll get your chance soon enough..."
