Girls And Bridle Ch 02

"Morning Star, Sophie... Meet Moonlight."

The young girl approached and waved. She was about the same size as Morning Star, very athletic, and wearing a long light brown ponytail, which, along with her name, left no doubt about what she was doing here.

"Hello!"

"Hi!"

Sophie greeted her with some reservations. She had been training ponies for many years and could pick up little details that may have eluded other people. Moonlight's skin was perfectly tanned uniformly on her entire body, a sign that she had spent a great deal of time outside under the sun; it wasn't uncommon for people living in this more arid area.

The problem with her skin tone was that if she was indeed a racing pony, her skin should have been paler due to the necessity to wear a latex suit. To Sophie, this was fishy, but she wasn't ready to make comments about her observation.

Tiantang Zhi Ma introduced her a bit better.

"Moonlight is our recruit. She will turn 20 years old next month and will be eligible for competition. She has great racing abilities, and I want her to team up with you to win the Triple Crown."

Sophie smirked.

"No offense, I'm sure Moonlight is good, she looks like quite an athlete at first glance, but she doesn't have any experience as a racing pony. We are talking about the Triple Crown here. Morning Star is an elite racer, and we know it will be tough for her even to qualify. Your rookie has never even been part of an official race yet. So..."

Tiantang sighed, knowing that everything Sophie had said was accurate. However, she was not an idiot; if she had offered Moonlight to them, she had a good reason. Rather than wasting time explaining, she decided on a more practical approach.

"Moonlight, see the tree over there? Can you jog to it, then once you are warmed up, sprint back here."

"Really? Tiantang, is it worth it? She just dissed me."

"Do as I say."

"... Fine!"

Moonlight reluctantly started jogging toward the tree, reluctantly obeying Tiantang's order, which made Sophie chuckle a bit.

"Hehe, your recruit seems to be in a bad mood, Tiang."

"This was not the plan for her. She doesn't see the value in being here yet. She is young."

"Just looking at her jogging, I can tell she never received any good training."

"No, she didn't..."

Once at the tree, the new girl placed her hand on it and started stretching her legs, one by one, as if her light run didn't have any warming effect. A minute later, she turned around and prepared for her sprint.

After receiving a small hand signal from Tiantang, Moonlight bolted forward, lifting dust with her civilian shoes. It only took her a moment to shrink the distance and fly by the puzzled observers. She then slowed down and walked back to them while Sophie was slightly embarrassed.

She didn't want to be mean... but...

"Well... That was... not very good. Sorry, Tiantang. I appreciate the offer, but it is not the caliber we are looking for..."

"She is lying!"

Moonlight's sprint had been nothing else than pathetic. The girls had undeniable physical abilities, but her little display was nothing compared to what a gifted racing ponies could do. Right away, Sophie knew that the new girl would need years of training before expressing her full potential, time she couldn't afford.

But when Morning Star dropped her negative assumption, suggesting that this was nothing short of poor theatrical performance from Moonlight, Sophie looked back at the young girl and immediately reconsidered her analysis, understanding what Morning Star had meant.

"You're right, Star... She is not even panting. Tiang? What's the deal with her?"

"Glad you noticed. I apologize for Moonlight's behavior, we do not own her yet, and this idea of joining your stable isn't appealing to her. She has a problem trusting people. Xiuying... Can you please talk to her? Let her know that this is not acceptable."

"Yes, Tiang... but we can't force her. You know that pony racing isn't really her thing..."

"WHAT?"

Instead of answering, and knowing she probably spoke too much, Xiuying walked away to go have a chat with Moonlight, leaving Sophie very confused about her last comment.

"Tiang? Tell me the truth... That girl... She has never been a ponygirl before?"

"No. Moonlight is not even her official name, yet. She never wore a pair of pony boots before, either. Xiuying and I have been scouting for a new girl to train for years, and we found this little gem in town by sheer luck."

"... In town?"

"Yes, we went out one night for a romantic dinner, and as we were walking toward the restaurant, a man stole a purse from a lady and ran away. I immediately ran after him. He had no chance to get away, obviously. However, out of nowhere, Moonlight joined the chase and ... she kept up with me."

"No way... That's not possible. Only Morning Star and Hemlock can keep up with you."

Tiantang Zhi Ma nodded, knowing Sophie was right. She was an older pony in her late thirties with a lot of experience. She had won the Super Cup twice in her career and probably would have won many more if Morning Star had not joined the NRPA. So the thought that a nobody girl like Moonlight could have kept up successfully with Tiantang Zhi Ma was almost unbelievable.

"So, after we stopped the thief and recovered the purse, the girl just walked away. She didn't even look overly exhausted. I tried to ask her a few questions, but she didn't care and just ignored me. Fortunately, Xiuying followed her and found out where she was working... a small snack bar as a waitress."

"A snack bar? So, where did she learn to run then? You don't become an athlete by selling fried food."

"Well, Xiu went several times to her restaurant and earned her trust with some sweet words and generous tips. But as soon as Xiu mentioned the thief incident and her running abilities, the girl shut herself off and refused to talk anymore. After that, Xiu found where the girl lived, and we went there together."

With Xiuying scolding Moonlight in the background, Sophie was mesmerized by Tiantang's tale. How could the Asian elite ponygirl even consider a waitress as the future of the ponygirl racing? She was very curious about where this story would go next.

"When we arrived at her home, it was a decrepit ranch. Moonlight's parents were two assholes, as racist as Brittany, and refused to let their daughter talk to us because we were Asian. A small amount of money changed their attitude, and they went to fetch Moonlight for us. As soon as she put a foot on the front porch and saw us, she ran away to the desert..."

"... and you pursued her?"

"... and I pursued her..."

***

"Stop chasing me! Go away!"

"I just want to talk to you! You can't run away from me. You are wasting your time."

Tiantang Zhi Ma was running all out across the ranch's rocky land, in pursuit of the young running girl, gradually reducing the distance that separated them. The prey wasn't used to this, and it made her panic a little. Who was this woman who could gain on her? This had never happened before.

"Leave me alone!"

"Not happening. Give up! You can't win."

"In your dream! We will see about that!"

The girl gave all she had and sprinted fearlessly downhill. Her maximum speed was nothing less than astonishing, but in the process, she drained her legs from all her energy reserve, and it was a piece of cake for Tiantang to catch up with her a minute later. When the girl looked over her shoulder and saw the Asian runner, nowhere near the abandoning point, she stopped, exhausted, admitting her first defeat.

Tiantang arrived next to her, panting as much, but grateful for the entertainment.

"Feeew! That was fun, don't you think?"

"Fun?"

"Yeah, you are a quick one. Thanks for the challenge, I feel better about myself now that I won."

"Who... Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"I just want to talk."

"Talk about what?"

"About you. Where did you learn to run like this?"

"... My parents?"

"Your parents? They taught you how to run?"

"No... I kept running away from them. They are idiots."

"I noticed. Interesting... Are you still in school?"

"Nope. Got kicked out..."

The young girl definitely had an attitude problem, but her living situation wasn't a bad thing for the Asian Elite; it was a golden opportunity.

"And you? How come you are running so fast? I thought nobody could keep up with me?"

"Well, that's because you lack humility."

"..."

"I'm an elite racing ponygirl. Heard about those?"

"... yeah... Those freaks..."

"A freak that is running faster than you."

"..."

"Look, all I'm asking is that you come with us so we can evaluate your skills. We think you have what it takes to become an amazing runner. I want you to spend a week with us at our stable so we can show you what our sport is all about and check if you would be a good fit. What do you say? You want to waste your time here on this rocky ranch with parents you hate, or would you like to discover your true potential?"

This little speech and proposal were very unusual for the young girl. Not only her normality was to be treated like shit by her parents, teachers, and clients, but on top of that, nobody ever said that she was good at anything. She grew up thinking that she was the only decent person in this town. But now, this gorgeous Asian lady who had taught her instant respect offered her an opportunity to experience something she had never considered before.

"What's in it for me if I say yes?"

"What's in it for you if you say no?"

"..."

"Xiuying and I would be happy to take care of you if you would let us."

"... One week?"

"One week. That's all I'm asking. After that, it will be up to you."

***

"Alright, she says she will try sprinting again."

"Good."

Moonlight trotted back to the tree; she seemed in a better mood all of a sudden. Xiu wrapped an arm around Tiang's waist and nuzzled her neck.

"Check that out... She is going to do it."

"What did you tell her this time?"

"Just that we love her and that she is doing this for us. She has a big heart."

Morning Star could sense something different this time around. There was that noticeable energy emanating from ponygirls when they desired to show off their skills. That expression on the young girl's face was unmistakable; she was ready to give all she got.

Positioning herself for a sprint, Moonlight waited for the signal from Tiang, who didn't make her wait too long. A small wave from the hand and she took off like a bullet.

This time it was no joke. The girl displayed some serious power, which left Sophie speechless. When Moonlight passed by the group, Morning Star voiced her amazement.

"WOAH! She is so powerful..."

"Yeah, and she has no technique either. With proper training, she could do very well."

While Xiuying was clapping her hands and cheering for Moonlight proudly, Tiang explained the deal to Sophie and Morning Star.

"The Triple Crown. Help Moonlight win the Triple Crown. That's what I'm asking. Her life so far brought her nothing but failures. Win the Triple Crown, and her life will become amazing. Then she will come back to my stable."

"But, Tiang... this is a long shot... There is no guarantee that we can..."

"Teach her what it is to be a ponygirl. Teach her what racing is all about. Then you go beat Paul Clover, his two pink ponies, and that racist Brittany! Teach them that they cannot bully us."

"... But, Tiang..."

"Let's do it."

Sophie still had strong reservations about using an inexperienced girl to attempt to win an event this huge, but Morning Star was sold to the idea. She trusted Sophie as a trainer and was convinced that Moonlight could become an excellent racing partner for the Triple Crown, granted that some intense work would be required.

***

"That was pathetic! You two make me sick! You are wasting my time."

Brittany was furious. In her opinion, today's training with Hemlock and Nightshade was an absolute failure. A critical thing when two ponygirls were pulling a cart together was the synchronization of their steps, and they just couldn't achieve it.

Both ponygirls had an almost perfect running technique, but adjusting to each other was not easy. It was unfair to expect perfection from them after only a few days of learning. But Brittany didn't care about that and unleashed her vitriol as she brought them back to the stable.

"Get in there, you two. If you can't behave like proper ponies, well, we will go back to the root. You are sleeping in your stall tonight! I'll let you sleep in the house again only if you show me that it is not affecting your ability to turn back into ponies."

Brittany was a bitch, but she was right this time. A ponygirl not fully believing she was a pony was not a good thing. She needed her two girls to fully accept their roles, and accept to be trained and conditioned for double cart racing while leaving their personal thoughts aside. A good way to remind them of that was to take away any human privilege they had, so they could start feeling like ponies again.

After pulling them inside the stall, Brittany removed their head harness and bit.

"Be happy I'm taking those off. But the body harness and cuffs stay on. That will teach you."

She hung their bridles on the wall and walked out before slamming the jail-like metal door.

"I'll be back later with food and water even if you don't deserve it. Try acting like real ponygirls once in a while. That is the least you can do in exchange for what we do for you."

What Brittany was referring to was nothing less than a roof, food, and ponygirl gear. Generally, the contract of ownership was not much more than that; a simple statement that made them the property of an owner and that the owner had to take care of them. There was no money or rewards involved outside the opportunity to live a ponygirl life.

Since the contract could be voided at any time by the ponygirls, it was in the owner's interest to take good care of them and only accept the ones that fitted well within the stable style. Occasionally, some extras were added to the contract when the owner was slightly pickier. Hemlock and Nightshade joined Paul's stable because they were required to be blonde, large breasted, and to wear pink girly clothes and pony gear. It was not something someone like Morning Star would have chosen, but for the two girls, it was oddly appealing.

"Brittany is mad at us again, Hemlock."

"Yes, don't worry. She is not wrong, though. We spent too much time as normal people recently."

"I know... I want to be a pony more often. I'm glad she locked us here tonight. I love it in the barn."

"Mmmm!"

Immediately after Nightshade confessed her love for sleeping in a stall, she pressed Hemlock against the wall and started kissing her. Having their hands cuffed to their waist wasn't allowing them to hug each other, so they could only enjoy their rubber covered breasts pressing against one another.

"Mmmm, Nightshade? Are you turned on by the barn?"

"By you and by being locked in our stall, yes."

Pony or not, they would never stop kissing. Nightshade pushed her tongue deep inside Hemlock's mouth to get as much good sensation as possible out of it. Of course, Hemlock responded positively with a similar action.

They hadn't had a chance to kiss since this morning, and the wait was getting too long to endure. The Sexual waves that they craved so much assaulted them. Unfortunately, they would be limited tonight as to how they could pleasure each other if Brittany decided to keep them cuffed for the night. But it was okay; spending a whole night kissing and licking each other's face wasn't a too terrible restriction.

"Aaanh! Is it the deepest you can go?"

"Hey, I practiced hard. I can go much deeper than before. Not as deep as you, though."

"I have a long tongue, but if you keep trying, you'll improve."

For those two, deeper was always better. Hemlock and Nightshade would let each other attempt to go farther inside their mouth and returned feedback when they thought they had improved. Knowing that they could reach new places inside their mouth was such a turn on, and it always has been.

Hemlock would always remember when Nightshade joined Paul's stable. Not only was she the most pretty and gorgeous blonde girl she had ever seen, but she got a legit emotional crush on her. It was love at first sight.

Before meeting Nightshade, Hemlock was having occasional sex with Paul and Brittany, but it never been great. She was way too strong for both of them, her stamina was off the chart, and they couldn't keep up with her. Hurting their feelings was not her intention, so she always kept quiet about her dissatisfaction and endured those long orgasmless nights.

When Nightshade showed up, she was timid, but despite that, they had their first kiss only thirty minutes after she arrived. They were in the living room, Brittany went to get some drinks, and when she came back two minutes later, the two ponygirls were making out on the couch, not caring about a thing in the world.

Since then, it has been the same thing hour after hour, week after week, month after month. Paul and Brittany quickly understood that they were no match for such an amount of sexual power, so they could only let them do their thing even if this was unexpected. More than likely, Paul's original plan was to end up sleeping with his two bimbofied ponies, but that fantasy evaporated pretty quickly.

"Aaaanh! You went so deep this time. Mmmm do it again."

"Mmm okay!"

The next hour was more of the same in the stall. The two girls exchanged mouth fluids as much as they could until Brittany came back with some food and water. She slid the stall door open and shook her head.

"Ah, come on! You are still at it?"

"Mmmm!"

"Aannh!"

"Alright! Alright! You can eat later. Come here, Nightshade. Show me your wrists."

Nightshade understood what it was about, so she pulled away from Hemlock with some difficulty and went to the gate where Brittany unlocked her cuffs. Next in line was Hemlock, but the small trainer denied her.

"No, Hemlock! You were the worst today. So you stay cuffed until tomorrow. Nightshade can feed you and make you drink."

"Aaah! Really?"

"Yes, and as a warning to both of you, if you don't get enough sleep tonight and you can't perform well tomorrow, you'll get a hell of a punishment. Trust me on that."

Brittany slammed the door closed and lowered the latch, making it resonate through the barn. The ponygirls weren't going anywhere tonight.

***

"So, are you sure I can come back after the Triple Crown?"

Moonlight was sitting at the table with the four other girls. A piece of paper and a pen sat in front of her, which made her quite nervous. She had no idea how those contracts worked, and she didn't want to take the risk to be abandoned by the only people she liked, the ones who had managed to take her out of her misery.

"I promise. If you want to come back, we will be more than happy to take you back."

"Good. Because I don't want to stay here with them."

"Stop it, Moonlight. Penny, Sophie, and Morning Star are the best. You'll learn so much here. And don't forget, you are doing this for us."

"Is this that important to you, Tiang? That I win the Triple Crown?"

"Yes, I can't let Paul win this. Not after being banned from the NRPA and almost killing Morning Star."

"Okay, but I've never been owned before. I don't want them to do bad things to me."

"I'm not going to lie. You won't like everything Sophie will do to you, but you'll learn to trust her. Always keep in mind that what they will ask you to do will make you better at racing, even if you think it is strange. We would have done the same. Becoming a ponygirl is a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun."
