_{Keely studied Freddie curiously for a few moments, before she turned her attention onto Gilbert. She nodded slowly. "Yes please."}

_{Gilbert squatted his tall figure slightly and cupped his hands by the stirrups, waiting patiently for Keely. Freddie stood there patiently, though he was prone to move any second if this took too long. His ears for angled towards them, and he had his head turned as he watched, stomping his back hoof occasionally before returning it to it's original cocked position. He twitched his black tail and shook out his black mane. Watching them through hair.}

_{Keely put her foot into his hands, pushing herself up onto Freddie's back. She shifted in the saddle slightly, trying to find the perfect balence. After a moment, she turned to Gilbert, and offered him a small smile, that quickly dissapeared "Thanks.".}

_{"No problem." Gilbert led them a little farther and then let Keely take charge, going to grab his stopwatch. Pretty much already knowing what to do, Freddie burst into a slow gallop and eagerly made his way towards the practice track, reacting little to any tug or pull in a different direction.}

_{Keely allowed Freddie to take charge for the time being, seeing no problem in it as long as he led her over to the practice track.}

_{As they neared it he slowed, ears flicking around and he turned his head to look at her. He did this quite quickly and bumped his nose on her foot, spooking and flinching hard. He jumped to the side and pinned his ears briefly, eyes rolling. He rolled the bit in his mouth before cooling down, but still breathing rather hard as he got it out of his system. Just then Gilbert appeared with a notepad and stopwatch, number 2 mechanical pencil tucked behind his ear. "You ready?" He asked smoothly, leaning on the railing as he waited for her to lead Freddie in.}

_{Keely frowned, leaning over to pat Freddie on the neck in a comforting manner. She glanced towards Gilbert, and nodded slightly. After leading Freddie in, she turned to Gilbert. "I'm gonna have to warm him up, first, correct?" She asked as if she had forgotten if she should or not.}

_{"Yes, stretch him up for a moment then take him around again so I can get his updated time." Gilbert nodded and ran his hand through his hair again, columbia blue eyes raking over the duo. He himself used to rope but had found a liking in the racing industries. He had worked with racing quarter horses before moving over to the highstrung thoroughbreds. He had indeed become a quite popular trainer himself but not one of the best, yet he had a way with training his horses and had owned a horse with great potential, but had sadly gone lame and was put up for stud last year.}

_{Keely nodded slowly. "Alright." She shifted in the saddle once more, before she turned her full attention onto Freddie. She urged him into a trot.}

[Deleted]

_{Freddie smoothed into a quick trot along the railing, ears forward and he let out an occasional wet nicker. His head bobbed and he was in a quick pace, obviously excited.}
