"Your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for
When they missed your heart"

Shot in The Dark - Within Temptation


Horse: RCS Twist of Charm - 5 year old Thoyase stallion
Shown by: Kamille Reiling
Stable: Raven’s Crown Stables
Show: 2nd Annual Dark Night Show -Show Jumping Class - hosted by =Jian89

--------------------
Kamille walked as quietly as she could around the trailer, so as not to disturb the edgy stallion. He saw her and snorted, and she stood up straight and glared at him as she continued moving around the trailer. He seemed unusually grumpy today, but perhaps Kamille was just nervous that he would act up again, as he had at the last few shows. She could always count on him to be unruly at the best of times. “Now listen to me closely,” she muttered, “don’t you dare-“
BANG! The stallion kicked the wall of the trailer anxiously.
Kamille rolled her eyes. “Really? Really, stud? Get a grip!” She reached up and flicked his nose as he stuck it out of the trailer bars and snorted at her. She swung open the doors and tugged him out, pulling him forcefully and glaring at him, daring him to do something else ridiculous.
They arrived at the arena, which was pitch black, save for the lights on the jumps. All she could hear was the stud and skitter of dirt as the other competitors did their runs. This was a magnificent show, and Kamille wondered if perhaps her own stable should start hosting shows. As she was thinking she strapped on their glowing equipment – a bright blue ribbon, Twister’s glowing boots, and a heart-shaped lantern she made from scratch. She hopped into the saddle and the stallion settled beneath her. This was good, she thought. He was focused, and much less likely to misbehave. Either that or he was plotting something…
Everything fell silent as Kamille took a long breath and exhaled, pushing Twister forward. He plunged toward the first jump, and kicked off with a swish of the dirt beneath his feet. As the sailed over the obstacle, the only thing Kamille could hear was the breath of her mount, her own heartbeat, and the jangling of the lantern as it flew through the air with them.

-------------------------

Definitely had fun with this. Though the lines took forever because I have so much other stuff going on right now. Would I do it again? Probably not. The glowing part, sure. But all the details, how about no....

And I couldn't resist using the song(or at least the lyrics ) for this one. Definitely one of my all-time fave driving/jogging/ass-kicking songs
