"Ladies and Gentlemen! May I present 2011's NFR Champion's!" The announcer boomed and the crowd went wild. The cloud of dust settled around the man standing in the center of the arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"First off I would like to say on the behalf of the Judges and our Founders, Thank You to all of the contestants! They sure gave us a show didn't they!" The man smiled and said into the Microphone. The crowd cheered and clapped.

"And thank you to all of you who came here tonight!" Another cheering and clapping spurt.

"Ok, back to our winners! There is one winner for each event and they will get one of these lovely saddles" he swept an arm behind him where expensive saddles were lined up and stitched in each one was an event and 'Champion NFR 2011'

"A customized belt buckle and $10,000!" The crowd cheered again.

"Ok here is your Bareback Riding Champion for 2011! Ryan Gray!" The crowd cheered and clapped again .The man went to get his prize check, buckle and saddle. The announcer went on to announce Steer wrestling, Team roping Headers and Heelers, Saddle bronc riding and Tie-down roping winners.

"Alright here is your Barrel Racing Winner for 2011! Amy Fleming!" The crowd cheered and clapped. A tall 21 year old woman walked out into the center with a large grin on her face. Her blonde hair was pulled back behind her and trapped by her hat. She shook the man's hand and got her belongings. She took off her hat and waved to the crowd still grinning. She made her way out of the arena and was greeted by two girls who were squealing and smiling.

"I knew it! Knew it!" A brown haired girl squealed and hugged Amy. Amy laughed and set her things don on a bench.

"Congrats!" A blonde girl hugged her. "You were great!"

"Thanks guys. I was sure Ashley would win" Amy smiled and hugged the two girls.

"Shh they are announcing the Bull Rider!" the brown haired girl said and they all turned to look out at the arena.

"Your Bull Riding Winner for 2011 is... Ty Borden! "The crowd jumped out of their seats and yelled. A brown haired man walked out into the arenas and yelled happily. His green eyes sparked with joy as he punched the air. Amy and her friends smiled and clapped

"No brainer" the blonde said" he's the best ever... and the hottest "The brown haired girl laughed

"I'd have to agree with you on that Jessica" she said and Amy watched as Ty went and got his prizes. He walked back in the hall ways and passed the girls. Jessica stepped out of his way and watched him walk away as did the brown haired girl.

"Amy looked at the brown haired girl "Soraya, your drooling" Soraya stood up and licked her lips. She glared at Amy

"I am not" she huffed "and if I was so is Jessica!" she pointed

"What? I can't help it he makes every girl go weak-kneed "Jessica looked at them. Amy laughed and walked over to her stuff. She put on her belt buckle and stuffed her check in her pocket. She picked up her saddle "come on. I gotta check on Pegasus" the girls followed Amy as she walked to where the horses were kept. Jessica and Soraya were also Barrel Racers and very good. They got 2nd and 3rd place. They never got into fights about who was better or got jealous. They were great friends to Amy. Amy didn't have a family so they stepped in. Amy's mother had died 2 years ago in a car accident and her father was gone. She had never known him. She never had any siblings so she was alone. She has Pegasus though. Amy smiled as she saw Pegasus come the front of the rented stall to greet her. He whinnied and bobbed his head. Amy laughed and petted his muzzle. Pegasus closed his eyes and exhaled onto her palm. Amy leaned down and breathed into his nostrils. She learned this from her mother; it was a Horse way of greeting each other discovered by the Native Americans. The horse would know your scent and remember you forever and if the horse blew back it was a sign of friendship. Pegasus blew back and Amy smiled and straightened up. She went inside the stall to get the water bucket and when she turned around Pegasus was no there. Amy looked at the open stall door and dropped the bucket. She grabbed the lead line and ran out of the stall. She saw Pegasus' white butt going around a corner. She ran after him. Pegasus was prancing happily down the corridor and when he heard Amy looked back. Amy rounded the corner and saw Pegasus look back at her then speed up. She ran after him and saw people dodging her Quarter Horse as he ran down the aisle.

"Pegasus!' she called and ran faster. Pegasus thought it was a game and ran faster. Pegasus ran down the hall and swished his tail happily then he saw Ty walking out of an adjoining hall and swerved. Ty stopped when he saw Pegasus and ran after him too. This causing Pegasus to run faster. Ty ran and Amy ran, both after the horse. Then Ty grabbed a rope off a table and threw it. It tightened around Pegasus' neck and brought him to a halt. Amy stopped next to Ty, panting. He smiled and looked over at her. He handed her the rope and Amy smiled at him.

"Thanks Ty." Amy wrapped the rope up and Pegasus walked calmly to her.

"you're welcome" Ty smiled and patted Pegasus" he's a nice horse"

"Thanks his name is Pegasus" Amy patted him "he's a jokester"

"I can see" Ty laughed and his phone beeped. He took it out and looked at it. "Oh I gotta go, see ya" he turned to walk off.

"Bye! Thanks!" Amy called after him and looked at Pegasus who looked like he was smiling. Amy shook her head at him and walked him back to his stall.
