The stable air hangs thick with the scent of hay and leather, dust motes dancing in the late afternoon sunbeams that slice through the wooden slats. You run a brush along your mare's gleaming coat, the rhythmic motion a familiar anchor against the chaos of competition.

"Oops, sorry there, you," he drawls, not looking sorry at all.
