It had been one week since Nancy and Stefanie arrived at the stable. One week since they started their new training regimen. Each day was the same as the last.

The new boots where a pain to get used to. Soon after arriving, they gave her a taller pair of hooves. This was to better help her match Stefanie's height.

However, something new happened today. Nancy was walked up to a cart. It was pretty simple: two wheels, a wide seat, and three wooden poles in front.

Stefanie was already standing in front of it. The right and middle poles where hooked to either side of her harness by her hips.

The trainer stood Nancy next to her in the gap between the middle and left pole. She felt him hook the chains to her harness as well. Between the collar and the leather flaps to the side of her eyes, Nancy could only see what was right in front of her. Still, she knew she had to be attached to the cart as well.

Reins were hooked to her bit gag and soon, the man cracked them. Nancy started moving, but fumbled a bit when Stefanie didn't start at the same time. It took a few tries for them to move in sync.

They walked to a race track and made a right onto it. With a strike to their butts, they picked up speed. Again, it took a moment for them to move as one.

"Please give me more candy after this," Nancy groaned under her gag. She really loved those candies. She always looked forward to them during training.

It was a challenge to move at the same time as Stefanie. The trainer had to start and stop them a number of times.

It took hours, but they finally got the hang of it and were rewarded. The trainer stopped them for a break and took out two of the candles. Both girls happily took the sweets under their bits and let them rest in their mouths. They moaned as the candies dissolved on their tongues. All their troubles and worries seemed to melt away along with them.

"This makes it all worth it," they silently thought to themselves.
