******************
Violet Thunderbolt was not touched by crowd’s loud noises and flashing of lights, but it seemed that Ervin did. Rider got quite nervous under such a pressure. He almost could not sleep last night and now it did not get any better. Young man knew that he must get all his emotions and nerves under tight control, but it was easier to say then to get it done. Especially, if you know, that your brilliant mount, who brought you so far is going to turn into a missile, just after the start bell`s toll.

Steed was well aware about his rider condition. Oh well, people are so strange some times. Why they think they can`t do good in front of other people or in some new place as neat as they do that it by their own? Come on, boy, let`s have some fun!
Horse just turned his head on rider, looking at him very calmly and with out any nerves. For such a jest Thunder got some patting on the neck. But horse thought that it is man, not him is in need of some calming pat.
Stallion tossed his head and whinnied loudly, in full voice giving some prance, just to make his human awake from nervous thoughts and to cheer him up a bit.
Ervin did not get any calmer of such a performance, but he did get concentrated on his horse, not on all thoughts and surroundings.
“We will make it good and smoothly, boy” – Leery patted his horse on neck and got reins tighter, pushing stallion into light canter around arena. There was not so much space and Thunder`s habit to transform into a train, speeding without any breaks, could turn into a real problem this time.
But if you are prepared you`re already armed in someway.
Bell sounded loudly and team crossed the starting line, taking off for some really wild ride with Thunder`s crazy speed and sharp turns on the very edge.
