"Well....it really depends on what you're also countering with, for example, Tyranny. If the mare has terrible attitude, more than normal for a mare, or is aggresive, then maybe charge a bit more because your hoping for a calm foal from the sire. And for broodmares, typically around 20K. Depends on how old they are and how much training it took to get to where they are now." She explained

"Tyranny is a five year old Quarter horse stallion. His sire is King's Cacaphony, a blue roan stallion with more that six mil under him. His dam is Enchanted Hera, a steel gray mare with about ten mil under her." Alexios stated. "Twisted Tyranny won about 900k."

"Then around 25K per breeding. If they want extra tries, add 25K to the bill." She said simply. "Assuming your other horses are as good as him, price the same. For mares price double." She said simply, taking a drink of her redbull. "How's the family and siblings?" She asked, making small talk

"Uh, not good. Jade and Jazzmin want me to sell the horses, to 'be a good son' and contribute. Yet, I work two jobs, pay 95 percent of the bills, plus whatever money I earn from competitions, I use that for paying off family debts." He sighed. "I'm still the unacknowledged child, unless they want money. Any other time... I'm invisible."

"You're not invisible to me" She said with a smile. "This competition should be a nice paycheck if you win" She added, turning into the fairground's driveway and parking next to the other trailers before hopping out. "We have 45 minutes until the rodeo, so we gotta hustle." She said, pulling the horses out and tying them to the trailer's side-rings and grabbing $15 out of her truck's door

Alexios got out, and loaded both horses. He brushed them down, and began to tack them up. "Easy, Tyranny." He stated, as his stallion reared slightly.

Dakota quickly tacked up Secret and mounted up, jogging her horse to the warm-up arena. It was nicely lit, and almost nobody was there yet, a mere 2 pairs of horses and riders. She sighed in relief, jogging and loping Secret around the edge before practicing a few tight turns around a barrel in a corner

Alexios mounted Twisted Tyranny, and moved the stallion into a small, warmup trot. "Good boy." He stated.

|

|
A half-hour later, Dakota's name was called as the crowd cheered, announcing her turn. She walked Secret calmy through the gate before letting Secret have her head and won the barrel racing competition easily. Next, Alexios's name was called for roping

Alexios, on Twisted Tyranny, was waiting for the signal to go, holding his lasso. Once the bell rang out, Alexios and Twisted Tyranny bolted into a gallop, and Alexios roped, and hogtied the calf, in 10.4 seconds, breaking the standing record.
