My name was Gold Ship.
I was the overlord of this place. None of the racehorses here could match me.
I had a little underling called One-Way Passage.
That underling lived right next door, and the two of us got along wonderfully.
We trained together, walked together, grazed together, and ate together.
I even had dedicated staff taking care of my daily needs.
That little attendant of mine treated me quite well. She usually brought me something tasty.
Though she had known nothing at first, she learned pretty quickly.
Of course.
There were also some troublemakers here: two bay horses.
One was called Epiphaneia, and the other was Japan Jordan.
Those two showed me absolutely no respect. I was sure that one day, I would find a chance to teach them a lesson.
Another rather annoying fellow was called Carrot Dispenser.
But we were also partners who worked hard together.
When the two of us teamed up, the other racehorses were no match for us.
Carrot Dispenser coming back this time was pretty nice for me, too.
He fed me carrots and took me out for walks and some fun.
Neigh-
Gold Ship, waiting for breakfast, let out a whinny.
Koichi came over carrying Gold Ship's breakfast.
The staff at Aoe Ranch had begun returning, mainly the stablehands, of course.
The exercise riders could rest a little longer.
"Do you really need to be so impatient? You ate plenty of carrots last night."
Carrying a small bucket, Koichi stopped outside Gold Ship's stall.
Neigh-
Gold Ship whinnied again, then swung that head through the air.
Hurry up and bring it over!
Breakfast was quite a lavish meal.
Besides.
Gold Ship had long since gotten used to eating breakfast at a set time.
"Stop fussing. Here you go."
Koichi handed it
