Description EDIT: Found the reference!

Cold War danced with energy on the day of the Cross Country event at OVEC. The wind flew briskly over the course, sending entry numbers and fliers askew. The red flags whipped in the wind like rattlesnake tails. Meredith tried her best to hold him back as they waited for their turn on the course. At last the few beeps that signaled the start of their time mercifully called. War spray forward without a doubt and galloped headlong to the first jump, completely oblivious to Meredith's attempts to keep him at a slower pace.

With the high winds howling and War's nerves nearly frayed, somehow the two factors seemed to work in their favor. The stallion flew at remarkable speeds over the course, sweeping over the jumps almost recklessly. The water loomed before them before long like it had so many times before when they practiced. War didn't seem to notice all of the frightening things that might be lurking beneath the depths for once and bounded over the wood jump.

This will be interesting, Meredith thought to herself.

War and Meredith competing in the High Tide Tournament .

That's not even what Meredith is really supposed to look like, and I'm tempted to blur her out but I'll probably still not be happy with it.

But the detail I put into it I think came out well, I'm not too much of a detailist. o.o Haha, the saddlepad War is wearing is the same one I have in RL.

LOL IDK I felt sooo stupid!! But then that same day! Someone else accadently brought the wrong horse from the paddock and put another horses saddle on and ALMOST put the bridle on but the reallly nice stable hand (thank god for him!) walked in and was like "You know that is Pearl?" And both of us like froze and I swear my heart was pounding sooo hard becasue Preal is the owner of the barns like 20 grand grand pirx horse LOL He promised not to tell and if Emily asked (emily being the owner) why she was inside he had asked up to bring her in. OMG I did nothing wrong and I thought my heart was going to leap out of my heart
PS They both are WArmblood mare (TB and Trakhener) Bay mares that have like the same blaze and for white stockings but only Pearl is bigger than Lola (the horse she should have brought in:S)

Yeah it's weird, at my barn, it's like every horse has a twin. There's: 4 chestnuts with the same face marking, 2 black/almost black horses with a snip and four socks, another two chestnuts with the same marking.. it's crazy.
