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

After tormenting the quiet youth for as long as he had Marqus had moved one to visit other tribe members. He wandered a bit, saying hello and speaking with a few, but the one that kept his attention for a good time was Isa from Auraleyki Stables. She had fiery red hair, which reminded him of both Milly and Maggie back home, but also her attitude! It was like being at home again! They had stood talking for a long time, mostly about how best to care for their horses. He preferred well stabled and tamed and she opted for the free range, natural route. Typical of the Vikings..jeebus.. Either way it soon became a challenge. Which way was better for their horses, and the races!

Both the Rider quickly returned to their tee-pee locations and saddled their horses in the given blankets and traditional native saddles for the camp, and left the tent area for the open fields. They stayed close to the fence line and mounted up. Isa on her pony sized horse Aradis and Marqus on his taller Crackerjack. They waited for an owl in the distance to hoot, and set off at full charge. They did about half a track length before they both slowed and started laughing and talking about other things. They still raced, though slowed to walk now and again to rest the horses. Marqus had to admit, the only reason he stayed ahead of the woman and her horse was due to the longer leg length, and thus stride, of his own mount. Maybe he needed to rethink how to raise the horses, and treat them… Milly at least would finally be happy. She’d been trying to convince him to go all natural for some time now.

It didn’t matter now though. They were off again, quickening their horses paces, marqus turned in the saddle to listen to the ginger woman woop and holler her words out as Aradis sped forward to keep up with the painted Oreo. It was quiet a cute combo those two, and Marqus had plans to keep an eye on them. They were definitely competition for the upcoming challenges and trials given by the task masters. It would be fun to see how well the pair would do. Only when the dinner bell rang in the distance did the two riders turn their horses to head back to the camp at a light trot. They’d have to wipe down the horses and let them out into the containment paddocks for water and feed. Marqus offered, and would provide, a special cookie treat for the noble steeds when they returned.
