Chapter One
"Wiz!" Caytlin called from the fence. The Thoroughbred trotted over, his partner in crime, Storm Faze, behind him. Caytlin slipped Wisdom Bright's head collar on him, and opened the gate to lead him out. She was a groom at Townsend Acres, a racing farm, and the tall grey called she called Wiz was her favorite horse. Secretly Caytlin aspired to be a jockey like her idol, Ashleigh. She tied Wiz up and groom him perfectly, fussing over invisible spots of dust.

"Caytlin!!" A voice called.Caytlin looked up from her work to see the familiar face of Samantha, her best friend. Samantha also loved horses, and she loved to ride. Sometimes she was allowed to ride Faze in the exercise ring, and Caytlin was jealous of her older friend. Samantha jogged up in her riding garb and grabbed a tail comb. She started to work on Wiz's tail and smiled at Caytlin.

"Guess what I was just told?" she grinned mischievously.

"Tell me now," Caytlin demanded, knowing her best friend's ways.

"We-e-ell…" replied Sam, a twinkle in her eye. "I was just told by Mr. Townsend that you could ride Wiz in the ring today!!" Both girls squealed, and Sam ran off to groom Faze.

About five minutes later, the girls met up in the ring. Caytlin adjusted her riding helmet and girth, and squeezed Wiz's sides. He took off into an instant gallop, and Caytlin tucked forward, giving him rein and squinted as the wind beat her face. Sam sped up and soon she and the graceful bay were racing with them. Caytlin touched Wiz with her crop and he went faster, knowing just what to do. At a frightening pace, the horses crossed the finish line, and drew to a stop.

"Impressive," Ashleigh said, petting Wiz's poll.

"Well, Caytlin, it looks like you may be a regular on the exercise track," Brad Townsend commented, eyeing her posture as she slipped out of the saddle.
