Here is Chapter 2 of The Champions, please enjoy and review!

The horses started to whisper quietly amongst themselves, excitingly and eagerly, after the humans left. "Hello, Thunder Rush, welcome to Horseland," the black Arabian mare, Scarlet, greeted warmly. "Thank you, I am very happy to be here," He replied in his German accent. Thunder Rush was bred and born in Germany, before being auctioned off to Katie Helmink's trainer, who was searching for a horse that had a lot of potential, and shipped over to the United States.

"I'm Scarlet, and this is Button, Calypso, Aztec, Jimber, Sunburst, Pepper, and Chili," She said, nodding over at each horse. "Nice to meet you all," the stallion told the eight horses.

"It's an honor to be able to meet a champion like you!" Chili boasted loudly. Thunder Rush just shook his head; even though he was only four years old, he had matured greatly over the past couple years from all of his training. "There's no need for that," He said, "I get that too much,"

Aztec looked over the pure white stallion with admiration; he was a selfless, kind stallion with so much maturity in him. "What was it like to compete in the Olympics?" the Mustang asked, curiously. "It was surreal, "Thunder began, "I never saw such a huge arena before in my life," He glanced around the stable; every horse's eyes and ears were focused on him. "The jumps were terrifying at first glance, I didn't think I would be able to do it, but Katie helped me overcome my fears, and we did it! We came in fourth that day," He told them.

Thunder didn't want to keep talking about himself, so he changed the subject. "What about you guys? What are your specialties?" One by one, each horse told the stallion what they loved to compete in, whether it is jumping or dressage; everyone had their own favorite event or events. "What about you my dear?" He asked Scarlet.

"Well," She began, "I like cross country and show jumping more than anything else," She was blushing shyly as she looked the stallion. "It has been nice to meet you all," Thunder said. "Do you guys mind if I take a nap for a little bit? I have had a long trip here," The horses nodded their approval. The stallion turned away from the others and laid down on the comfortable bedding.

"I like him," Button said as soon as he was asleep. The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, yeah," Chili snorted. "Who would not like a champion thoroughbred?" Pepper whinnied in agreement.

"Would you give it a rest, Chili?" Aztec snapped at him. "He does not care about that stuff,"

Scarlet glanced over at the new stallion and couldn't help but blush by looking at him. 'He is so handsome and has a cute accent,' She thought, turning away from the others to hide her bright red cheeks.

There's Chapter 2! Looks like Scarlet has a crush on the new stallion! Will the two find a relationship? Chapter 3 is next, I'll try to get it up as soon as I can!
