Chapter 4558 The Sexscapades Of The Lancaster Twins:>Ep15
- Everything was muddy. The rain was relentless. Bill told Shana that it was just too dangerous. Horses sometimes slipped in the mud -- riders were thrown and sometimes trampled. Adding to the danger was the fact that most of the competitors were men who had trained and ridden for decades -- and they were out to win. When the call for "running walk" came, their horses would be going full speed, the huge bodies of the horses potentially trampling anything that might be in their way. A fallen rider could be fatally injured.
- Shana loved competing and was willing to ride, even though it was dangerous, in the mud and standing water. She begged her father to allow her to ride. She had her heart set on competing. In the end, Bill relented.
- The horses were allowed into the ring, an oval area somewhat smaller than a football field. In larger venues, of course, the ring was much larger. The gate, at which the grooms stood, and where the horses were allowed into the ring, was about 3 feet tall, when closed. Grooms were only allowed into the ring if there was an equipment problem or, in some classes, to remove the saddles to allow the judges to inspect the horses more closely. Bill stood, anxiously, at the groom's gate.
