Madisyn stayed put, casually holding the reins of her red horse.


    The crowd chuckled at the sight.


    The oue seemed obvious.


    “Madisyn, maybe you should change horses! That one doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with you!”


    The red horse sauntered slowly, clearly aware of the race but indifferent topeting.


    Madisyn appeared unfazed and simply let the horse do as it pleased.


    Eventually, the horse wandered over to graze.


    Amused, Madisyn said, “Hungry, huh?”


    The red horse couldn’t be bothered to respond to Madisyn.


    It was a horse with a mind of its own, not easily swayed to follow any rider’smands.


    As it ate, it sensed a familiar presence.


    It lifted its head and noticed a man in the distance watching it.


    A feeling of foreboding came over the horse.


    Though its owner was far off, the horse could feel his intimidating presence.


    It was as if he was asking, “Still eating?”


    The red horse hesitated before reluctantly starting to run.


    By then, Teresa was already making significant progress on the track.


    Not far from the contest, Andrew and Dane watched.


    Dane turned to Andrew, asking, “Are they racing now?”


    “It appears so.


    ”


    “The horse Madisyn picked… Is it yours?” Dane asked Andrew.


    Andrew nodded.


    “Yes, it is.

    “It seems like Madisyn made a poor choice.


    That horse is known for being tough to handle.


    ” Dane observed, squinting slightly as he pondered what might happen if Madisyn were to lose.


    But Andrew replied, “That may not be entirely the case.


    ”


    As Teresapleted her firstp, she saw Madisyn still struggling and couldn’t resist taunting her, “Madisyn, is that the best you can do? Maybe we should end this now!”


    Teresa was aware she wasn’t particrly proficient herself, but she hadn’t expected Madisyn to perform so poorly!
