DEIMOS
Once everyone was aligned on the track, Deimos nodded, and the competition was on again. Melita appeared to send the horse racing immediately, glancing back at Iskra in a wide grin for the breaking pace. Unfortunately, this meant her attention wasn’t fully on the actual task at hand, and no sooner did they reach the first ring, did she promptly realize she was going far too swift. Striving to slow down ended up with her leaning entirely too far to the right, and soon she was nearly dangling from the horse’s side and tack, eyes scanning the ground and looking like she’d be hitting it soon enough.
Unsurprisingly, Iskra would end up missing the first jump due to the mishap, and it was lucky she even managed to hang onto the rope at all. For a few seconds more the Honeybee looked as though she’d fall, but by mere fortune or strength and a horse who had yet to veer off course, she managed to swing back into the saddle. No doubt the attempts to stay on would cause some soreness later, but perhaps the antics had wowed the crowd (or dissuaded them from pursuing the actions altogether).
However, with the slower pace, they’d both recover nicely – a quick and swift lesson learned – snagging at the second ring and jump with grander style and decent air, but with massive time penalties incurred.

Melita misses the first ring, Iskra misses the first jump, but they both get the second rings/jumps and their time is laughable but on the whole very entertaining.
