Zorro snorted annoyed, as the mare flicked his nose with her tail. The fiery stallion valued dignity as much as his master. Diego was about to say something when he heard a set of hooves dancing on the ground, the next thing he knew, the mare was galloping off down the trail, paying no attention to Carolina's restraints.
"Finally." He muttered to himself and to Zorro. "Andela!" He added as he put Zorro into a gallop and charged after her.
((gracias! this character has already learned a lesson, to not think of women as weak. hehehe, I was planning on having Diamond giving him a lecture about it, but this is even better.))

((hehe... glad to be of service))
"Requim. ....... para este instante", Carolina shouted pulling on the reins sharply. That was before the mare lost her footing and Carolina was thrown from a saddle. Luckily.... or lack of it.... Carolina was thrown straight down a hole between to rocks. She landed with a dull thud, receiving a scrape on the side of her head.
"Esa yegua es más problema que ella tiene el mérito..." she muttered in annoyance before looking at her situation. "Oh... that's just great".
["Requim.... stop this instant"----"That mare is more trouble than she had merit"]

Coming to an abrut but but dramatic halt, Zorro stopped at the base of the rocks where Carolina had fallen. In a fluid, swift motion, Deigo dismounted and cambered over to the rocks, where he bent and offered Carolina his hand.
"Désolé, cela peut se sentir un peu rugueux." He warned her, then he tugged, hard. His many long years of strengthining his muscles for fencing had paid off. He was quite strong, but he didn't want to hurt her. The rocks had a tendecny to rub a person's skin the wrong way...literarly.
["Sorry, this may feel a little rough."]

Caroline smiled and took his hand firmly.... she was stronger than most would expect her to be. Then she was pulled up clear out of the whole. Carolina landed on her feet and offered her hand to Deigo to help him up in turn. "Gracias", she said once he was back up on his feet. Then she walked off towards Requim, muttering several scoldings in spanish.
Requim just gave her a look that clearly said 'What did I do?' Carolina just starred at her, clearly displeased. "About time I invest in a 'better' horse", she commented, putting emphasis on 'better'. Requim heard her and seemed to squeak.... either in fear or annoyance.

Deigo laughed uncomortably when she said this.
"Senorita, if it pleases you, there is a horse fair currently going on below, perhaps you would tour around, take a look at the other mounts for sale."

Carolina shook her head. "No", she answered. "I will survive for now". She walked up to the mare and reached for the saddle and reins. Requim danced out of her reach. Carolina frowned and tried again but the mare bolted off.
"Requim", she shouted after the mare. But the horse just kept running until she was out of sight. "Thankyou tanto".
["Thankyou so much"]

"De Nada." Deigo called, then he pushed Zorro into a canter until he was along side Carolina, who was struggling to keep uo with the spooked Requim.
"Need a ride?" Deigo offered, meaning that she should jump up behind him on Zorro until they could catch up to her mare.

((ok, no problem.))
Suddenly a loud boom of thunder shook the land, the skies began to darken and rain began to fall. Deigo looked up to the heavens and straightened the brim of his hat.
"It looks as if the rain is coming on." He said casually. Then another roll of thunder rent the sky and Zorro reared up in alarm, pawing the air and screaming in terror.

Carolina stopped running and looked up at the black rain clouds. Then she remembered that Requim was trained to come when called by whistle. She let out a sharp whistle and the mare halted suddenly.
Carolina ran up to the mare and mounted up on the mare. But she sat astride. She looked around looking for a sign of shelter and spotted a barn down in the valley. "Follow me", she shouted spurring the mare to the gallop. She knew the dangers of riding down a mountain in the rain.... but she didn't care.
Requim went on the with her neck bent and carefully picked her way down at her racing pace. Carolina's hair had fallen out and hung freely, flying out behind her.

Deigo half halted hard, on Zorro’s reins in order to get his horse back in control again. Nickering in fear, the great stallion spun around on his haunches and slipped with his back legs on the slippery mountainside. Deigo kept his balanced as saw with dismay that Carolina was already heading down the mountain side at a gallop. If she can do it, so can I. He thought resignedly. Then he pushed his mount into a gallop and started down the treacherous mountain after her, though Zorro was not the most sure-footed horse in the world.
