Despite raising her voice deliberately so that Domenic could hear, he turned a deaf ear to her taunts and focused his attention solely on Lindsey.
On the racecourse, Lindsey was pulling the reins as hard as she could, but the black horse completely ignored her. It turned around in circles and kept kicking its hind legs up like crazy, as though it was trying its best to throw Lindsey off its back!
It was clear that Lindsey wouldnt be able to hold on for much longer. She was tossed around like a ragdoll, and there was nothing she could do but hold onto the reins and clamp her legs around the horses belly as tightly as she could.
But the black horse was too powerful. Seeing that it couldnt throw her down, it changed tactics and started galloping towards the highest iron hurdle on the field.
In an attempt to get rid of Lindsey, the black horse planned to head straight into the hurdle!
Oh, my God! Thats the highest hurdle on the whole course! Not even the experts are able to jump it! If the black horse rams into it head-on, the contestant will be flung from its back and will be seriously injured!
But the rules state that the competition cant stop until the contestant gives up!
Why hasnt she called off the competition yet?! Does she really think shell make it over that hurdle?! Some exclaimed excitedly.
Shes crazy! Even the clubs senior coach cant control Lightning, let alone a rookie equestrian!
Restraining the urge to run straight to the racecourse, Domenic gripped the seat handles so tightly that blue veins popped out on the backs of his hands.
Domenic Walsh, a man known for keeping calm in even the most intense of situations, was now sweating buckets.
Lindsey mustve had her own reasons for not calling off the competition.
He trusted her. He had to.
Surely, her tough, unyielding spirit would put the crazy horse in its place!
Seeing that Domenic had broken into a sweat, Shelia smiled gloatingly.

Maybe Lindsey will fall, and maybe shell break a few bones. I really dont know why shes even here. Shes no equestrian; shes just an opportunist! She just wanted to attract the attention of the rich, and now, shes going to reap the consequences of her reckless actions. Im sure shes going to make a fool of herself!
Seeing that the black horse was about to ram into the hurdle, Lindsey forced herself to calm down. Time around seemed to have slowed down all around her.
Domenics words echoed in her ears. If you want to tame a wild horse, you have to show it that youre not afraid. You have to let it know that youre even more difficult to deal with than it.

Make it surrender to you in fear!
In a moment of sudden clarity, Lindsey braced herself and stood up from the back of the horse!
Instead of using brute force, she listened to Domenics advice and pulled the reins skillfully. Just as the black horse was about to hit the hurdle, she planted her feet firmly on the stirrups and pulled even harder, forcing the horses head back!
Everyone in the stands watched with bated breath.
Just when everyone thought that Lindsey would fall off the horse and break her neck, a miracle happened.
The black horse neighed and raised its front hooves high. Then it leapt into the sky like a majestic beast, soaring over the tallest hurdle effortlessly!
ALL of a sudden, a hush fell over the stands. Two seconds of stunned silence later, thunderous applause broke out.
