Bell.... Matt said in a whispered. You know you shouldn't be doing this... He said in a serious tone. Bell rolled her eyes. And how do you know? I can do as I please... Bell said with a smirk. Watever Matt said and rolled her eyes. Matt gave Bell a leg up into the saddle, giving her a look of concern. I'll be okay! She said quickly and urged the filly forward on the track. Ali snorted and hoped forward in excitedly. So far this season she was one of the best maidens, winning her first race every. Being she is Ebony first racing foal it was quite a surprise and gave us more excitement for our up and coming two year old by True Enough. Today's warm up plan was just to trot a lap and canter. Our next workout would be a blow out, but it won't be anytime soon. The golden filly's coat was groomed to perfection. She was in the best of shape, very fit and ready to take on her two year old season. She was a very easy filly on the track, always wanting to run her best. She will run her heart out on the track and it was no surprise seeing as her dam is Ebony, and her sire is a HOTY horse. While trotting we did some figure eights and other stretches. After a lap of trotting I urged her into a canter. Very easily the filly started to canter. We made our way around the track, slowly but surely. As I came to the wire I started to pull her up seeing to people watching me. I knew one was Matt, but the other guy I didn't know. We made our way towards them. Hey Bell I would like you to meet Jake Allen. Matt said. The young man looked at Bell and gave a little smile. Nice to meet you miss. he said in a deep voice, sounded southern. So is this one of the ones I'll be riding. Jake said. Bell eyes darted to Matt. Whats going on here? Bell said in a harsh tone. Ali seemed to pick on her tone and pinned her ears back. Bell... We need to talk.... Matt said and looked at Jake. Jake nodded and started to walk back to the office. Once he was out of site Bell demanded to know what he was doing here. What is this about?! Bell said, looking at Matt. Hun... You can't ride anymore after what another week? You will be endangering yourself and the baby.... He said in a caring voice. So! Im not going to let some strange ride my horses. She said a bit tore between her horses, and her unborn child. Well if you want you can pick out the person.... I just know Jake from my childhood... He said shrugging... Bell looked at him, a bit pissed off at the moment but she knew she had to find another jockey for a while. She just didn't want to face the facts. Ali pranced beanth her unexpectedly. Easy girl... I know Bell said patting the filly's shoulder. Bell looked at Matt and nodded. She pulled the reins and led the filly down the track and towards the barn. She just had to face the facts. The next race or two would be her last for at least a year or so. [xx- Bella has found out she is pregnant but she can ride for a few more weeks before no more at all. Getting another jockey to take over]
