As dawn turns to morning, Amy heard the birds chirping from outside. She wakes and yawns out loud, standing up on all fours and stretched her hooves.
She drank water from the trough and it tasted clean and fresh for her.
"Morning, Amy" Sonic walked in the barn.
Amy raised her head and she sees him.
"Morning Sonic" Amy said and shakes her head to get rid of the mosquitos.
"Slept well in the barn?" he asked her while filling up with hay.
"Yup, feels different than sleeping on the bed" Amy chuckled a bit, "Ow, jeez, these flies won't go away" she snorts.
"Don't worry, Ames. I'll give you another bath" Sonic said, petting her snout.
"Yes, please" Amy neighs with a nod.
Soon, Sonic was shirtless but he wore his swimming shorts since he will get wet soon by using the water hose to spray water on the pink horse. Amy was stunned by staring at his skinny six-pack.
Sonic notices she's staring at him.
"What are you looking at?" Sonic raised a brow curiously at her.
"Nothing" Amy lied. Sonic shrugs and sprays water on her with the hose. Amy closed her eyes to not get water on them. Sonic squeezes a bottle of fresh scent shampoo on her wet fur body and her mane.
"Enjoying this, Ames?" Sonic asked while scrubbing her.
"Yep" she replied and lets him scrub her fur some more. After scrubbing her body and waits for it dry up, Sonic brushes her dark pink mane and straightens it out.
"Ah, I feel so nice and clean. Thank you, Sonic" Amy said to the blue hedgehog.
"No problem Amy" Sonic said to her and gave her a hug.

Much later at the horse field, Sonic was wearing a rider helmet and a whistle pipe. He has placed many fences for Amy to jump over. Amy was near him, ready for training.
"Alright Amy, you know what to do" Sonic said.
"Yeah, I just need to focus" Amy neighed.
"Okay. Since you know how to walk like a horse, let's see if you can run like a horse. I'll stand over there and watch. You ready, Ames?" Sonic said, giving a nickname for her.
"Okay then, thanks for the nickname" Amy winks and started to run, at first it seems that she got everything under control, but she tripped over much to Sonic's annoyance. He walks up to her and placed his hands on his hips.
"Be more careful, Ames" Sonic said, glaring at her. Amy smiles nervously and tries again, this time a little more focused on her hoofs. She realized she got control over her legs and ran fast. Sonic smiled and thumbs up.
"Good work, Amy. Now for the fences" Sonic said.
"This is gonna be tricky for me" Amy chuckled nervously.
She looked at the fences and the highest was 2 meters. She counts her hoof on the ground and ran to the lowest one first and jumped over with no problem, she then jumps over the 1.5 meter fence and almost fell over.
"Good girl, now let's try the highest fence" Sonic said to her. Amy looks at the fence and focused with a grin on her face.
"Hiiiiiiiyaaaaah" she screamed and neighed, running at high speed towards the fence and jumps over it. This shocked Sonic to his surprise.
"YAAAH! I did it!" Amy neighed and stood on her hind legs.
"Wow, you are just like Speedy!" Sonic shouted in happiness and gave thumbs up. Amy walks up to him.
"Oh, thanks a lot...Sonikku" Amy gave Sonic her nickname for him.
"Sonikku? Hey, I like that nickname" Sonic grinned.
"No problem my friend" Amy said with a sweet neigh.

Now Sonic was riding her while jumping over the fences and she did well this time.
"Whooooohooooo!" Sonic cheered wildly, having fun with her. Amy smirked and ran faster to jump over the fence some more. She neighed in bravery and is learning fast to be like a horse.
After 20 minutes, they were both done practicing and Sonic feeds her with a carrot.
"Yummy" Amy neighed a bit at tasting the carrot. Her smile turns to a frown as she sighs.
"What's wrong, Amy?" Sonic asked.
"I still miss being a horse racer. The teacher kicked me out the other day" Amy sighs and snorts in sadness.
"I know how you feel, Ames" Sonic said softly, putting his hand on her neck, "Ever since Speedy died, I still miss him a lot and that is why I retired. I also miss being a horse racer too"
"Oh, sorry for that. But you can become a rider again; I'll be your horse!" Amy said, with a joyful neighing.
"Uh… Okay..." Sonic said.
"So what do you say?" Amy asked with excitement, wanting to hear his answer.
"Uh...Yes of course, Ames. We're gonna beat Sally in the next race!" Sonic finally answers, posing in a heroic way. Amy nuzzles happily on him.
"Yeah, but first we need to go see her. It's time that we show her who's the real best horse racer" Amy said with a low neigh.
"You're right. But she's doing an interview with the news reporter at the race track. You sure it's a good idea to bring a pink horse to the track. I mean, there are no pink horses that exist around except you" Sonic said, feeling very worried for her.
"Good point but there's a chance that people will take interest for you and me instead of Sally" Amy said.
"Yeah, because I'm tired of her beating every best racers in the race track" Sonic said.
"Same, but with you it will be different. So I'll pretend to be a normal horse so she won't recognize me" Amy said and Sonic got on her back again and they go to meet Sally.

Sally was making popularity at the people in the race track for being the 'best' horse racer than ever.
"Thank you, thank you. You should have" Sally said to the people and the news reporters.
"Say Sally, what's your future plans?"
"Are you happy being a winner?" Many of her fans asked her.
"Well, that's something that I need to think about. Can't rush into those right now" Sally chuckled at them.
"Hey, look at that! A blue mobian hedgehog with an awesome pink horse!" a teenage human girl points at them and everyone walks up to the blue hedgehog with his pink horse.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you all going?!" Sally asked with anger that they were all leaving her without a word.
Sally then realized its Sonic.
"Hmph, he takes my fans right now!" Sally growled.
