6,000 or best offer

His bay figure was in the best shape it has been in months and his groom didn't have to hold onto the lead very tightly. The colt was so calm and the stallion snorts as the groom leads him along the edge of the ring for all to see. He arches his nape and his orbs watch the people he pass. His auds heard chatter, but continued on. After circling the ring the groom led him to the middle. The groom stood there holding the colt's lead with freedom and the colt became bored.

A crackle came over the loud speaker and the auctioneer began, "This colt is Azure Prince, and has never raced before, but he has some promising bloodlines. His dam won 800k and his sire won over 1 million. Bidding starts at 6,000." He then waited for any bidders.

Laura

Laura sat by the edge of the ring, watching as young colts and fillies entered and exited the ring. None seemed good enough to be champion. They either had bad conformation or awful behavior. And others were just way to expensive for what they were worth. Laura was a famous, prized winning jockey and trainer. But since starting her new farm, Holly Bank, money was short. Until she got in some horses, and until they started winning races, she was a bit short on money. Sighing, she watched as a bay colt was led into the ring. The auctioneer began rattling off his details, and Laura was immediately interested. He was gorgeous, with a solid build and excellent conformation. She needed to get some winners before the Preakness stakes. Maybe this would be one of them. He was kind and well mannered, but judging from his build and muscles, he could certainly become a champion. His bloodlines weren't to shoddy, either. Laura raised her paddle, marked with lot number 43.

"$6000!"

His auds caught a sound and he turns his head towards it to see a girl. He held his head high now alittle interested in his surroundings. The groom led him in a circle and Azzy obeyed then stood as still as a statue.

The loudspeaker crackeled, "anymore bidders?" As seeing none he says, "Going, once, twice, sold!" The auctioneer was glad he got that over with.

The groom leads Azzy to the holding stall and puts him into it. The muscular bay soflty nickered and he looks over the door. He never had been sold before so he wondered what was going on.

Laura

A sigh of relief was sounded when nobody else bid on the colt. She couldn't have gone too much higher, since she had bought another horse as well. She stood up and walked into the barn, eager to see her new colt. With luck, he would live up to her expectations. Now she had to hire some jockeys and grooms. Then Holly Bank would be on it's way to the top. As she entered the barn, the familiar scent of horse and hay floated into her nostrils as she inhaled deeply. She spotted her brand new colt and moved toward his stall, leaning over the door carefully.

Hey there, Azzy.

She dug into her pocket and retrieved a peppermint. Smiling calmly, she stretched her arm toward to colt and held the tasty treat beneath his nose.

[shadow]

Azzy watched the girl come towards him then a smell he always loved appeared. He was happy to actually get his favorite treat and he hadn't had a treat in awhile. He gently took it from her hand and he fiddled it around in is mouth. Suddenly his powerful jaw closed and crushed it. He sucked on the little pieces in his mouth and he nuzzled Laura. He sniffed her pockets looking for more and he bobbed his head eagerly.

Laura

She laughed slightly as the colt began begging for more. Well, aren't you sweet? Reaching up carefully, she placed her hand on his forehand and gave him a gentle scratch. Whistling softly, she grabbed his halter and leadrope off of the hook and entered his stall. He seemed gentle and calm enough, so she didn't have to worry much about him. Boogie, the young filly she had just bought, seemed more frisky and playful. Two totally different horses, but with luck, they'd both be champions. She got another peppermint out and fed it to him before slipping on his halter and bringing him out of the stall. After a quick brushing, she led Azzy out toward her trailer and waited to see how he'd react to it.

He enjoyed the second peppermint and did the same thing he did with the first one. He enjoyed the quick brushing and was happily prancing when they approached the trailer he was still calm. He didn't mind trailers that much, but he felt like running. He hoped when he got to his new home that he would be able to run.

Laura

Eager, aren't we? She asked the colt, giving him an affentionate pat on the neck. She led him toward the trailer, where her other horse, Boogie, was already loaded. She'd already prepared hay and water for Azure Prince, so she just clipped on the crossties and shut the second divider. Get along now, you two. I'll be back in a moment. The twenty eight year old trainer shut up the ramp and ran back to the ring to watch the rest of the horses.

Azzy saw the other horse and he looked at her curiously. He watched her intently as at his other home he and the fillies were seperated. He never saw one up close except for his mom and he nickers gently to the filly. He was still calm but he was excited he held it in till he could start running.

{i guess boogsie comes ins now}

The chestnut opened an orb and was soon awake again. She looked at Azzy and whinnied back. She reached over and put her nares to his, smelling his breaths. A squeal escaped her velvets as the excited filly became even more curious. She felt the trailer jerk and soon became quiet again.

[shadow]

As she smelled his breaths and she squealed. He was even more curious about her and he scans her as she becomes quiet. He whinnies happily and he reaches out. His muzzle touches hers and he squeals happily. He then playfully lips at her mane and nickers excited about this filly.

[B oo g i e T.ime]

Boogie snorted, acting as if she didn't care. She yanked her skullary away and nipped back at him. She whinnied with a you-don't-know-who-you're-messin'-with,-boy! look. She whipped the air with her banner and lipped at his locks, watching him carefully each second.

Laura

Laura came back to the trailer and peered over the closed up ramp. Alright, guys. We're going home now. The girl walked around to her truck and hopped in, slamming the door shut. She shoved her key into the ignition and turned it two clicks to the right. The engine burst into action. She put the car into reverse and backed out of the parking lot. She couldn't wait to get home. Since she had no jockeys yet, she'd have to exercise the horses herself. But no more racing. She had promised herself. She was retired now, but every time she sat upon a horse's back, she felt the urge to race again. Now her goal was to train top horse and jockey combinations. And maybe even a Triple Crown winner. Not this year, though. Both of her horses were two, and the Kentucky Derby was going to run soon. No way could they both win a qualifying race in time. Neither had jockeys, either. And obviously, they couldn't race without them. She drove down the road, lost in her thoughts, before pulling into the driveway of Holly Bank Farms.

Azzy startled by the nip and whinnies in surprise. He eyes her carefully and playfully licks her cheek. He pulls back and acts like he didn't do nothing. He highers his head and he watches her to see her reaction.

[B oo g i e T.ime]

Boogie snorted and arched her boa shyly at the "playfull" lick. She licked him back playfully and whinnied. The filly snorted and tried to glimpse outside as the trailer stopped.
