4th place!

"What the hell have you done with your hair this time?" John asked incredulously as Seth shook his hair out from underneath his hat. "It was purple last week, and now it's... whatever that is...."


"I tried to go green...." Seth sighed, picking at a loose strand in front of his face before putting it all up in a loose ponytail. "But most of it just ended up blue." He shrugged, turning to haul out the grooming kit from the van. "Eh, I have mermaid hair now."

John sighed tiredly, but picked up Incy's tack and followed after the younger rider, yet another question playing on his mind. "Why do you insist on dying your hair such ridiculous colours, anyway?" He asked as they dropped their kit outside the stable Incy was peering out of curiously. 

"I did it as a dare once," Seth said with a smile. "I was like 17 and some girls dared me to dye my hair bright pink. So, naturally, I did," he flashed John a grin. "When it washed out my normal hair just seemed boring, so I've been dying it ever since."

John frowned at the his nonchalant attitude to hair, smoothing his own back absent-mindedly. "As long as you don't dye the horses, whatever."

He strode back out of the barn to collect the last of the kit, leaving Seth with his horse. The two looked at one another for a long moment, before Incy blew air into Seth's face, making him smirk before he reached up and scratched affectionately behind his mount's ear. "Whaddya think, boy?" The man asked with a grin. "How about we dye your hair?"

After John wrestled any hair dye Seth tried to put on Incy's mane from him, the next day dawned bright and clear, perfect conditions. Seth had taken the 'rider can be wearing whatever they'd like' rule to the extreme, and turned up to the mounting ring in a huge sweater and his mucking-out breeches. John said nothing, but frowned as he handed the younger man the reins, tutting slightly under his breath.

Swinging up into the saddle, Seth sighed happily, leaning forwards to scratch Incy behind the ears again, earning a soft nicker from the stallion. This was only their second show together, though the first had been little more than a small gathering, making this their first big event. Neither of them was particularly nervous, both more interested in the pretty mare/woman combinations that were moving around them as they waited to go into the ring.

Suddenly, the bell rang, and Incy skittered sideways a few steps, though a reassuring pat from Seth had him calm and collected once again. Nudging the stallion's sides with his boots, Seth smiled, looking forwards to their performance.

Crappy story alert! Quite proud of the image though, took a lot of work to get the motivation though.... :/
