This was great fun! Thank you for hosting this, Kiralynn!
I always get a thrill when I'm racing in one of your events!
Honor and fun,
Dannigan

Fifteen riders gathered at Hengstacer Farms despite a steady rain. Once registration closed, the tally read: "Rathniel on Flint, Eohyr on Frofor, Ceodriel on Coriander, Zanah on Equinox, Rosaliee on Unbroken Will, Eothriel on Bouncer, Runesdaeg on Earthe Upon Earthe, Dannigan on Peanut, Etholdir on Fir, Eavan on Hick, Cirdrawen on Valley Whisper, Byrcha on Speckles, Isaewyn on Annuals, Craicwyth on Snowrose and Fallentra on Ravenflight". A particularly drunk and obnoxious man tried to disrupt the race but was quickly hauled off in shame by the local watch. The riders lined up at the first gate of the farm's race course. The single checkpoint was the stand-alone windmill on Thornley's property. The trip out to the work site proved difficult for several riders who either sprained their mount's ankles on the cliffs or became lost in the nearby ruins. Despite her youth, Zanah and chestnut horse Equinox crossed the finish line first by a nose. It was the closest race finish in Windy Acres history! Eohyr on Eglain horse Frofor was narrowly beaten out and came in second place. Only half a length behind, Dannigan and Esteldin steed Peanut took third place. Craicwyth and Isaewyn urged their horses across the line soon after, followed by the rest of the riders. Soon, the crowd gathered around the riders and the prizes were awarded. Dannigan was given one gold, Eohyr left three gold richer, and Zanah rode back to Bree town on a beautiful Perlino horse.
Special thanks to volunteer judges Erakleon and Naethril.
