Dark
Dark nodded, the thin boy moved into ran to the first horse barn and returned with three halters, four lead ropes, and a long pole with a hook like contraption at the end of it. Purely Dollary made.
His foot falls lightened as he went to the back of the stock trailer and hung up the halters and lead ropes. Grabbing the smallest one, he opened the back and with the pole made sure that Bludger stayed back. Gently, he reached out for the temperary halter and lead rope that was Chaser's. Pulling her out, he shut the gate and lead her to a metal pen. The pen was about a quarter of an acre, and perfectly round except for a small one horse shoot directly opposite of the only entrance.
He opened the gate to the pen, then led the mare through and to that shoot. Turning her around and then tugging on the lead rope. "Shh-shh-shh" He made the nose as he pushed her back, firmly forcing her into it backwards. Once in, he would close a single chest bar so that she would not be able to escape.
Chaser
She snorted unsure of what was going on.She called for bludger.Her tial slashed out and she pulled against the lead rope. Then she was pushed backwards into something.She bucked and reared and screamed ears back.
bludger:The stallion watched and screamed and started bucking and kicking the trailer.
Dark
Only after closing it did he sigh, "One down..." He looked at her, "You're going to be a hand full ain't ya." he smiled, turning his his green eyes back to the trailer before heading back there.
This time, he took out the pole, and moved to Shadow. Opening the door just a smidge, he poked the poke into the trailer and moved it close to the horses head, Trying to get the hook through the lead rope ring. Once successful, if successful, he pressed a button which clamped the hook shut into the rest of the pole. Giving it a slight jerk to make sure it was secure before opening the trailer door wide open and pulling the horse out. There was no way the stallion would be able to attack Dark for the pole prevented it.
shadow
Shadow reared up, plunging forward at Dark, but was angered by this pole. Shadow gave a shrieking whinny, stamping his front hooves against the trailer flowering. "Damn human." He snarled, lashing out violently with his hind legs. Shadow eyed Dark, his nostrils flared...he knew this meant business. Someone would be Shadow's victim. Losing wasn't a option for this stallion. His bloodlines said 'win, win, win." But this wasn't racing, this was fighting.
Chaser and Bludger
Chaser snorted and tryed to get rid of his hand but to no avail.She now stood in the shute.
Bludger screamed and hit the trailer.
Dark
With the stallion well anchored to the end of the pole. Dark began to lead the stallion into the pen. Coming behind him with a crop to held 'encourage'him into the practice arena. Shutting the metal gate, he clicked the switch again and manuevered the poll off of the Halter.
"Now for your challenger." He said. Checking the gate again, just to make sure it wouldn't open. "Get aquanted with the mare. It'll piss him off."
Saying that, he headed back to the stock trailer and picked up a halter. Opening the door just a tad, he took out the pole and held it in front of him, along with the horse crop in his hand. Grabbing a halter, he moved to the horse. Trying to corner him so that he could slip on the halter. "Easy buddy, we don't want you getting hurt just yet." He waited for a calm moment the threw the halter onto his snout and wrapped it around (if if if- if not let me know). With the manuever, the strap came around the back of his head and he would quickly buckle it.
shadow
Shadow eyed Chaser warily, nostrils flared as he stared at the mare. No way. Shadow thought. Fighting a mare? Your kidding me! These humans are shallow! Shadow looked away, shaking lightly. He was tired, hungry, but still vicious. Shadow just stared at the mare with cold eyes, not caring about her. All he wanted was his herd, who was probably dwindling somewhere. Shadow shuttered. "Swallow humans." Shadow swore, striking the ground frustratedly with his front hoof.
Chaser
Chaser screamed for bludger and bucked and reared tring to get free from the shute.
Bludger:he snorted and snapped at the man but adventually the halter was on and so was the pole.He reared.
Dark
Sighing, the catch was easy, and now he led him out of the trailer, clipping on a lead rope along with the pole, then bringing another and heading to the pen. He opened the door and shooed at Shadow to keep him away from Bludger, then moved to quickly clip the other lead rope onto Shadow. With both lead ropes fastened, Dark moved to the gate and opened it to let himself out. Unhooked Bludger from the pole, and grabbed a whip.
After closing the gate he called to the two men who were conversing. "We can start." He said, then cracked the whip above his head. "Geeya!" he urged. Leaning the pole against the fence for when he had to come in and seperate the two.
The lead ropes did play an important role, they would trip the horses over themselves. As well as make for an easy catch.
shadow
Shadow snarled at Bludger, he reared up at Dark hollered, but merely flinched at the whip cracked. Shadow planted his hooves into the dirt, nostrils flared as he looked at the Friesian stallion. "Bring it on." Shadow whinnied.
Chaser
She watched and whinnied to her brother for goodluck.
Bludger he snorted and glared at the other and immediatly ran straight to him.He snapped at him and then reared slashing.He wouldn't losse.
shadow
Shadow wield around, his hindquarters took some cuts, but the stallion took off like a rocket, galloping forward and then wheelign around, nostrils flared. Shadow dashed at Bludger, rearing up and swiftly coming crashing down upon Bludger's back, a vital area on a horse.
Bludger
He snorted and watched him carefully.He noted what he was about to do and moved right out of the way and then aimed a good kick towards the others hind end hoping to cripple him.
Shadow
Shadow danced, his body came just clear of Bludger's blow. Hooves lightly skimming his pelt. "You wanna play that?" Shadow snarled, he charged at Bludger head on, rearing up, going right for the stallion's skull.
Bludger
He snorted and spun so his side was facing the blow and took the hooves to the side.He snorted and took this chance to spin around and kick again with his hind legs aiming this time for the chest.
shadow
Shadow grunted at Bludger's blow, he gave a snort before lunging at Bludger's neck, his teeth ready to lock around the thin flesh.
Dark
The tall thin man watched on in amusement, but this was a vital fight and he had to watch their every move. To find their weaknesses and their strengths, so far both were doing well, but they were nothing like the experienced fighters in the big rinks.
Bludger
he snorted and quickly moved away and then came running back. Thunderng towards the other. He reared and slashed at the others head and then with out warning spun around and kicked with his hind legs towards the others gut.
shadow
Shadow winced, his shoulder took the blow, Bludger didn't seem to have a good aim. Shadow smirked, wheeling aroundand slashing at Bludger's gut with his hind legs.
Bludger
Oh he did. Shadow got him but not where he wanted and only one of the males legs hit. It hit his shoulder which only cut a small cut.He now circled the other and when he found an open spot he moved in. He went to bite the others at the withers.Whterhe or not he got a hold he would then slashed out with his hooves at the others shoulder and or gut.
Shadow
Shadow snarled, lunging for Bludger's face as his teeth sunk in deeply into his withers. Anger rippled threw him, he threw his legs forward to clash into Bludger's, leaving only a few cuts, they were more of scratches. Shadow pulled away from Bludger, backing up and few feet before rearing up and stamping against the ground. Nostrils flared he slashed right for Bludger's gut, knowing if he missed, he'd hit another spot.
Bludger
He snorted and shook his shaggy head. He moved feeling a slight hit on his front but nothing big.He now came barreling toward the other and without warning turned to the side to ramn into the other.He would then run straight and turn around and come charging back and then reared aiming a kik for the others head.
shadow
Shadow gave a snort, turning so he bumped in Bludger too. "Too easy, you call yourself a stallion?" Shadow sneered, eyes flickering with a fire of hate. Taking a few steps back, Bludger's kick smacked into his neck. Give a hot snort, slashed at Bludger's shoulders and chest with his front hooves.
Bludger
He snorted.Im more of a stallion then youHe then felt the hooves hit his chest and he quickly took that oppurtunity and tried to bite the others face and then kicked with his front.
shadow
"Right. Try living on the wild side, kid." Shadow replied tartly. His face wrenched with pain as Bludger's teeth dug into his nose, he pulled free, hooves slashing at his chest, Shadow snorted. Shadow backed up a few feet, tired and bloody. Hot breaths came out like rasps. Shadow vaulted with his hind legs, his hooves slashing out for Bludger's neck, teeth going for under his check bone.
Bludger
He snorted and watched the other and then felt the others tip of hooves hit his neck.He snapped out at the others legs and then moved and then came back for the others hind end with his hind feet.
Shadow
Shadow snarled, twisting and lunging for Bludger's neck. His hooves flailing in attempt to block any attack, slashing out violently.
Bludger
He snorted and watched him and moved away before any attack could land.He then circled the other and then lunged for the others hind end with his teeth.
shadow
Shadow lashed out with his hind legs as Bludger's teeth dug into his hindquarters. His tail lashed angrily, he lunged for Bludger's shoulder, hooves striking for a leg.
Bludger
He snorted but kept a hold of the hind quarters till he found his own mistake in letting his body be parrell with the other and feeling a hoof his his leg. He snorted and pulled back form his grip hoping to tear flesh with it.He then moved away.
shadow
Bludger was good, Shadow had to admit. "Not a bad fighter." Shadow murmured halfheartedly. Shadow didn't care if Bludger left a gash, Shadow lunged for Bludger's withers viciously, his hooves also going for the Friesian's side. It wasn't over.
Bludger
He snorted.I must say that same to youHe snorted . He may of spoke but he had still been paying attnetion and quickly moved to the side but felt hooves hit his chest.He snorted and then reared up and attempted to hit him on the back or sidesd with his hooves and then went to bite down on his shoulder.
shadow
Shadow veered, Bludger's teeth slashing across his withers and down to his chest. Shadow went for Bludger's throat, again, his hooves going for the chest.
Bludger
He saw the stallions intented arget and had reared just as the others hooves came for his chest so more then likely the two's front hooves would ollide. After so he moved away and circled. He didn't attack waiting to see if the other would draw out or if the other would attack again.
Shadow
Shadow was tired, his muscles ached and his lungs burned. Shadow slowly walked back a few paces, his nostrils flared. Bludger wasn't his issue, Dark was. "Come on, end the fight." Shadow called out in a hoarse voice. "Or we could both go for the human." Shadow smirked.
Bludger
He snorted and then glanced to the human.Even if we tried these ropes would surely prevent us from getting him plus i don't feel like jumping the fence.
chaser she snorted and pawed the ground glad the fighting had stopped.
Shadow
"Point." Shadow agreed, he stopped, looking at Chaser. "I'm Shadow, you are, fantastic fighter?" Directing his question towards Bludger. How much would Dark scream? Whip them? Who cared. He was tired, and hurt.
Bludger
He dipped his dial and had moved toward his sister.He nickered.I am Bludger, Same to you, This is my sister Chaser
chaser looked to both.fighting is pointless
Shadow
"right." Shadow acknowledged Chaser. "What do you suppose the humans gonna do with us now?"
Dark
The human had watched the fighting through the entirety. As the horses slowed their fight he picked up the stick lead and moved toward the horses, "You done already" He smirked to the horses. Then reached out with the stick to grab at Shadow's halter, anywhere on the halter would be fine for the halters were both put on very tightly. "Bludger is the winner; both need their wounds cleaned." He noted to himself trying to catch the beast.
Bludger
The friesian now carefully watched the man.He reared and slashed the air in warning.Blood dripped.
Shadow
"Winner, puh." Shadow mumbled. "We both tied." Shadow murmured. He snarled at the humans, stamping his hoof impatiently.
Bludger
let him think what ever. What matters is what we knowhe snorted and shook his head. Though he was a bit happy the human declared him a winner.It just seems that he don't like ties
Shadow
"Right." He replied stiffly, flexing his shoulders.
Dark
At his failed attempts to snatch the horse's halter; Dark took a lasso rope next to him and created his loop. Within a few swings the lasso was wider than Dark was tall and with precision he threw it toward the horses. Whoever was nagged first would be the first one to go up and into their new stall.
Bludger
Bludger had not moved his head and was in direct line for the lasoo. He snorted and reared as he felt the thing on his neck.His nares flared and he glared.
