Inuyasha's Pride and Joy.
Twenty year old Inuyasha inherited his parent's Thoroughbred farm when they died. The farm was actually left to Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru. But Sesshomaru hated the farm so he gave Inuyasha ownership of the farm. Pride and Joy Farm is the farm's name. Now Inuyasha is incharge of breeding, training, and racing the fram's horses. Inuyasha also trains for others owners but not many. Sense Inuyasha is to tall he has to hire jockeys to ride the horses. Pride and Joy farm is located in the counrtyside in between Louisevill and Lexington Kentucky. Inuyasha has had the fram for only a year. He had graduated high school when he was eighteen. His father taught Inuyasha and Sesshomaru how to train horses. But Sesshomaru doesn't love horses the way Inuyasha does. Right now Inuyasha is training two horses that were born om the farm.
And he's training four horses for Bob and Better the next door neighbors. The tow horses that were born on the farm are a two-year-old cold and a four-year-old filly. The four-year-old filly's name is Lady Kikyo. She is black with a bold white stripe on her face. Lady Kikyo is named after Inuyasha's childhood friend and grilfriend Kikyo. Inuyasha and Kikyo knew each other sense they were four years old. Unfortunately at the begining of his freshmen year in high school. Kikyo and her family died in an car accident. When Kikyo died they had been dateing sense the 7th grade. The same day Kikyo died a black filly with a white stripe was born. That black filly was Lady Kikyo now she is four-years-old. In the two years Lady Kikyo has raced. She's raced eight times won six times and placed second two times.
Now the two-year-old colt is grey with a black mane and tail. He also has a white stripe on his face. But his is in a shape of a sword. Inuyasha named the har to handle colt Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha is in the training barn where he keeps the horses he's training in. He is picking out Lady Kikyo's hoofs. He has his long silvery white hair pulled back in a long pony tail to keep it out of his way. Then Inuyasha put the saddle pad and the small exercise saddle on her back. Then he put her reins and bridle on. Just then a young red headed boy came in the barn.
"Are you read to workout Lady Kikyo Shippo?" asked Inuyasha.
Shippo is fifteen years old and lives in a small cottage on the farm. His parents died were friends of Inuyasha's family. But Shippo's parents died in a plane crush along with Inuyasha's parents. Sense Shippo isn't old enough to be a jockey he exercise rides Inuyasha's horses.
"Yes I'm read to ride." said Shippo.
Inuyasha gave Shippo a a leg up on the 16 hand tall filly. Shippo rode Lady Kikyo to the training track. Inuyasha walked up to the track rail with his stopwatch and Lady Kikyo's clipboard. He keeps track of Lady Kikyo's workout times on papers that are clipped on the clipboard. Shippo is warming up Lady Kikyo by having her canter once around the track. When Lady Kikyo passed by Inuyasha he told Shippo to breeze her six furlongs. A furlong is 1/8 of a mile so six furlongs is 3/4 of a mile. Shippo cantered Lady Kikyo to the 3/4 pole. Then he crouched lower in the saddle which qued Lady Kikyo to go faster. At the sam time Inuyasha started his stopwatch. Inuyasha loves watching Lady Kikyo run her long strides cover alot of ground. He stopped his stopwatch when Lady Kikyo crossed the finish line. Shippo sttod in the saddle to slow Lady Kikyo. She bucked a little as to say "I want to keep goin." Shippo cooled down Lady Kikyo then he dimounted and led her to the gap in the rail.
"How did she do Inuyasha?" asked Shippo with a smile.
"Four-five seconds flat now please go give her a bath." said Inuyasha patting Lady Kikyo.
Shippo led the black filly to the back of the barn to give her a bath. After Shippo was done bathing and drying Lady Kikyo. He led her into the barn Tetsusaiga snorted when they passes by. Shippo ignored the unruly colt and put Lady Kikyo in her stall. It is Octorber 15th 2005 the Breeder's Cup is on the 22nd. Inuyasha told Shippo he plans on leaving for Belmont Park tomorrow. So Shippo got everything ready to go for tomorrow. He and Inuyasha loaded the trailer with hay and grain. They put saddles, bridles, reins, and leg wrapings in the back of Inuyasha's truck. Then Shippo went to his cottage and Inuyasha went to the main house. In the morning after eating and packing a duffel bag Shippo went down ti the training barn.
Inuyasha has Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga in the crossties. Shippo wrapped Lady Kikyo's legs while Inuyasha wrapped Tetsusaiga's legs. As usual Tetsusaiga is being a hand full. After wrapping Lady Kikyo's and Tetsusaiga's legs. They loaded Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga into the trailer. Then Inuyasha and Shippo got into the truck and headed toward Elmont New York.
"Inuyaha how many has Tetsusaiga raced?" asked Shippo.
"He has raced three times and won three times." said Inuyasha.
On their way to New York they stooped every ten miles at a rest stop. They would unload Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga and lead them around to stretch them out. Tourists would takes pictures and ask questions. Inuyasha and Shippo arrived at Belmont Park on the 17th. Inuyasha parked close to the shed rows. First they unloaded Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga. And put them in their stalls. Then they unloaded the saddles, reins, bridles, hay, grain, and leg wrappings. Inuyasha decieded to workout Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga on the 19th. Tomorrow Inuyasha is going have Shippo take Lady Kikyo and Tetsusaiga out on the track for a jog. On the 19th Shippo breezed Lady Kikyo four furlongs which is a half mile in foutry-five seconds. Then Shippo breezed Tetsusaiga four furlongs in fourty-four seconds.
Watching Shippo breezeing Inuyasha's horses are two female jockeys. They are impressed by what they see.
"We should ask the trainer if we can ride for him Kagome." said the girl.
"Yes we should Sango." said Kagome.
They followed Shippo and Tetsusaiga to where he was being stalbed.
"Exucuse me young man who is the trainer of those horses?" asked Kagome.
"He went to the news stand to get a Daily Racing Form." said Shippo.
"What are the horse's names?" asked Sango.
"The black filly is Lady Kikyo and this is guy is named Tetsusaiga." said Shippo pointing at the horses.
"What are your names?" asked Shippo putting Tetsusaiga in his stall.
"I'm Kagome and this is my friend Sango we are jockeys." said Kagome.
"Jockeys huh I hope you're good." said Inuyasha walking up to them.
Kagome and Sango turned around to see Inuyasha. They introduced themselfs to Inuyasha and told him how much experence they have.
"Not bad for twenty year old female jockeys." said Inuyasha.
Then Inuyasha heard Tetsusaiga snort as Shippo walked by his stall.
"Which one of you can handle a hard to handle horse?" asked Inuyasha pointing at Tetsusaiga.
"Kagome is great at handleing hard to handle horses." commented Sango.
"Ok then you two are hired Sango you will ride Lady Kikyo and Kagome you will ride Tetsusaiga." said Inuyasha.
"Umm we didn't get your name." said Sango.
"Oh my name is Inuyasha." he said.
"Don't you train for Bob and Betty?" asked Kagome.
"Not anymore thanks to Koga." said Inuyasha with a sigh.
"What did he do?" asked Kagome.
"He told them some lies and now Koga trains for them." said Inuyasha.
"Look at the time Kagome we have to pick up my brother from school." said Sango.
Sango and Kagome left after sayin bye to the horses. Sango's brother Kohaku lives with Sango and Kagome. They live in Kentucky also thry are in New York for the Breeder's Cup.
"By the way hows school Shippo?" asked Inuyasha.
"Good I'm doing my homework." said Shippo looking up from his books.
After getting Kohaku at school they went to the hotel they are staying at.
"Oh Kagome Saturday will be the first time we've riden in any of the Breeder's Cup races." said Sango nervisly.
"I know it's going to be exciting." said Kagome smileing.
"You two are going to ride in one of the Breeder's Cup races cool." said Kohaku.
"Yup I'm riding on the Distaff and Kagome is in the Juvenile." said Sango.
Kohaku used the phone and called his friends and told them what races his sister and Kagome will ride in.
