The smell of horses and the sound of their breathing and their soft noises was something that he had grown up with and had known all his life. Never had he been without those comforting companion sounds and scents. So naturally the man spent a lot of time around the stables and horses as was his ranking job to do and of course to spend time with his own beloved mare, Faith. Long strong legs worked underneath him and thick corded arms flexed. They stared at each other, brown eyes connecting with white. This was one of the games they played together, the chase and catch game was fun for both of them.
Faith snorted and pawed at the ground, kicking up dust and dirt with her hoof. Then suddenly she darted forwards with almost inconceivable speed for a horse of her size. The man dodged her charge, tapping her flank as she flew by, he began to run in the opposite direction, a large grin on his face. Then the sound of her hooves pounding against the floor and he flung himself to the right, although not fast enough for he felt her teeth nip his shoulder. He chuckled as the mare now fled away from him, her mocking whinny floating back. From within the fence surrounded field some of the other horses of AniWaya watched their game with interest, among them his brothers horses Fuerte and Quera.
He did not chase after the female instead he stood his ground until she came trotting back over impatiently, making mock charges towards him and feigning to bite, taunting him. He waited until she got too sure of herself and then launched forwards and grabbed hold of her muzzle. Faith leapt backwards from him, raising onto her hind legs and pawing at the air in front of her while he turned to run again.
