Seahorse Races - Giddy Up!

Last Sunday, I raced at the new Sea Horse Race Track in Tokara, at Trilla’s and wow, I had a blast! I even won one of the heats, but these were race trials to prepare for the Oceania Derby coming up in two weeks. Woot!




I’m the pink haired mermaid in the middle of the picture, linging up at the starting gate waiting for the buzzer. :) My little white seahorse Nibbler was ready and rarin’ to go. :grins:


The picture above is of the stands where spectators can view the race. I had just run in a heat and was visiting with some of the mers who watched the race. I am in the foreground, (the mermaid pretty in pink–lol).

They also held small riding snail races, and two of my friends posed for this picture. Those were some fast snails, I tells ya. :)

Racing Under the Sea

Almost anything is possible in Second Life, including fulfilling a long-time fantasy. Friday, I competed in my first Seahorse race!

My mount, a white mohawk punk seahorse I named Johnny Rotten Kibbler, finished a close second to the two time winner and reigning champ, Zohee G., whose bay seahorse held out for the victory win.

For a horse-crazy girl from the bluegrass, the race was a perfect blend of my two favorite passions—horse racing and the sea. I hope to compete again throughout the SL racing meet this winter, in between writing and editing my books. If you go into SL, check out the underwater sports and look up seahorse racing for time and location, then you can be my cheerleading team, lol. Hope to see ya there. ((hugs))
