Story

Cora knew Cat was a tad irritated with her and Frodo's eating escapades, so she made sure to say on the other side of the trailer, or the horses, or anything for that matter while Cat prepared Sam after Frodo's liberty class.

She watched as another horse entered the Liberty arena, a Helsinki Warmblood.  The stable had created Salvador Dali melting clocks in steampunk fashion, and worked them into their horse's halter.  The crowd went wild.

"We've got some really insane competition, Cat!"

Cat pulled Sam around and began walking towards the gate to await her turn.  She looked back at Cora, "Do you see how sparkly Sam is today?  I think we're going to do just fine!"

Cora crossed her fingers.
