Taken By Storm (2013)
““Time to test that claim!” he said, clipping a lead rope to Shareb’s halter, looping it around his neck and quickly fastening it on the other side of his head as makeshift reins. In one easy, fluid movement, he seized Ariadne around the waist and tossed her up on the horse’s back. Her eyes were bright with excitement, her skin glowing. “There’s a pond five miles up the Norfolk Road—I’ll meet you there as soon as it’s fully dark. Now, prove to me that this confounded nag of yours can indeed run ...a hole through the wind!”
Laughing, she sent the fiery steed galloping off over the darkening pastures. Colin stared after her, a little smile playing about his mouth, a dreamy look in his eye—then, his heart leapt to his throat as he saw Shareb-er-rehh heading for the tall hedgerow that separated the fields. The mighty racehorse paused only long enough to gather himself, then flowed over it like a dolphin arcing over the waves.
And then he was off, pounding over the hills with his tail streaming behind him # # #.MoreLess
