Full of Superstition

-He needs more training.
- No, he does not" said Sara shortly to William. They stood and leaned against the massive statue of Devil Wears Prada as Sebestjen and Superstititon rounded the last curve towards the finish line. Superstition lengthen his stride at the 600 meter poll when Sebestjen urged him to go forward. William clocked the timer and looked at the stallion. Sara was calm. The colt would take some time to mature, that was all. He was already good, but had not quite realized its potential yet.

Superstition and his rider rushed past them and crossed the finish line. William stopped the clock and sighed.
- 34,5 …” He looked after the horse with dissatisfaction.
-Just give him a little more time, Will” said Sara and laid an arm around his waist. He looked down at her and smiled a little.
-Sebbe! You can walk with him now... he is done for today! Far away on the track, Sebbe waved his hand as an answer.

-Was he not happy with the workout? asked Sebbe Sara when he jumped off the stallion. William had left the track so fast that Sebbe had begun to wonder. Sara shook her head.
-No, he thought that Ghost here looked a bit lazy out there, she went up to the stallion and gave him an encouraging pat on his shoulder. The stallion snorted at her, glad over the compliment.
-I thought it went well," said Sebbe and stretched. It went very well! Sara smiled.
-He just needs a little more time, that's all.
-Why did William think it looked bad?
-William has a talent, but he also has a nasty habit ... if a horse doesn’t show good results from the start, he don’t give them anymore chances... that is why we are such a good team. He judges out the horses, but I give them even more chances than the other horses... She looked at Ghost and smiled.

-Now, you may see a miracle on four legs! called William. He entered the track with Rosendal's little pony, Monty! Sara and Sebestjen laughed and looked at each other with amuse in their eyes.
