Once on the track, whatever calmness Ziyadah had left disappeared. He lunged forward, ducking his head and bucking.. hard. Nicole clung to his mane for a moment, then leaned back and jerked the stallion's head up. Furious at not being able to bolt, Ziyadah flew skywards, rearing to his full verticle position. When he landed, he tried again to bolt.. and did not succeed. Nicole clung to the reins, and Ziyadah danced sideways, mouthing the bit. Then, he spun and plunged forward, ripping the reins from Nicole's hands and racing down the track.

Ziyadah seemed to rear back and then hurl forward, chiseled head outstretched. He was wild, completely out of control.. but he was fast! He roared down the track, zipping beside the rail, body completely stretched out.

As they came to the gap, Nicole hauled hard on the reins, throwing her bodyweight into the reins and see-sawing.

Ziyadah finally slowed.. his sinewy neck was sleek with sweat, but still he fought Nicole, flinging up his head and trying to bolt every few strides. Swallowing the pit of nerves in her throat, Nicole shortened her reins and forced Ziyadah to walk out calmly.
