DrowsyFeather

"You have done very well. I am thinking for now you need to take break, you must not over work self." Drowsy motioned to the rest area. "If after your rest you are still up for more? I will seeing what I can do. But you -are- looking tired." The Pegasus led the way to the rest area, looking a bit worn out herself. ((Sorry about the late/short post ))

Drowsy touched her hoof against Madam Bistro's with a wide grin. "On your first try! I am working with quick learner it is seeming." The Pegasus jumped off the frame with a mighty flap of her wings, then she flew down and hugged Bistro. She then pulled her off the rope gently and placed her onto solid ground. "Is easier when someone is helping." Drowsy landed gracefully in front of Bistro and turned to her, maintaining her proud smile. "How are legs feeling?"

Looking down, Bistro would saw Drowsy standing at the bottom with an inspiring smile on her face and a look in her eyes that said "You can do it!". "Very good progress so far, for first time! Keep going, I will catch if you are slipping." Drowsy Feather raised her wings as if to remind the mocha mare that she could fly. After a while of watching Bistro attempt the rope, the Pegasus decided that it was time to up the ante a bit. With a loud blow of her whistle she announced her next challenge. "Double time, Madam!" She glided up to the top of the rope, she sat on top of the wooden frame and held out a hoof. "Be touching my hoof as fast as you can!"

"Yes, do not...er...be getting much sleep. Busy myself with things, you know?" Drowsy laughed. "It is easy for me, yes. I am having wings. For you, not so much...come." Drowsy stood and brushed herself off quickly before offering Madam Bistro a hoof. She led the mocha mare over to a couple of ropes tied to a sturdy wooden frame. The frame was quite tall, easily 6 meters high with ropes reaching the ground, tied to stone weights. "Now, try to be climbing this on your own. Keep tight grip and be using upper body strength. if you fall, do not worrying, I will catch. Trust me, I will not be letting you get hurt."

"Princess Luna would not be having to worry about me sleeping...ever." She giggled a little. "Sounds like interesting place, and not much unlike Stalliongrad is true." Drowsy looked out over her yard and turned her head to Bistro. "Is there anything else you would want to do? Climb rope, maybe?"

Drowsy nodded along with Bistro's story. "Oh, maybe. Morning jog and coffee is good combination. But I would not call this business, I offer my services for free, and offer to personally train anyone who I think would be worth time. Of course, anyone is welcome to ask, but if you have injury you need to work through, or you need to look best for...wedding? Maybe? Then is more likely for me to be choosing you." The Pegasus smiled at the mocha mare. "But would not turn down donations for keeping yard together, is not cheap to fix broken equipment and I am not earning much on side right now. But I would not be offend if anyone did not donate, it is free service." Drowsy took a hearty drink of her water and just sat her towel on her head. "What is like in Manehattan?"

Drowsy Feather took a drink from her water bottle and looked at Bistro, keeping up her grin. "Ah, yes. Is good thing, flying. I understand this filly wanting to fly. Poor thing." The Pegasus sat next to Madam Bistro and listened to her question, giving her a slightly confused look. "Miss Snowfall? That is one I do not know. Tale is not...er...epic. It is simply wanderlust and need for getting away from old home. Move for Canterlot when young after incident with dragons, it is long story. You can take mare out from rough living, but can not take rough living out from mare, though...Canterlot was too...er...posh for my taste. When I hear of Appleloosa I know that this is where I am belonging." she smiled after finishing her story. "But I talk of self too much, have not even introduced self properly. As sign says, I am Drowsy Feather." Drowsy looked over to Madam Bistro expectantly with an awkward smile, her cheeks slightly flushed from embarrassment of forgetting to introduce herself.

Standing about three feet away from the finish line, the look on Drowsy Feather's face was priceless, a mixture of both suprise and embarasment as Bistro had just overtaken and beaten her in a race she was planning to win. "Uh. Did very good, actually." She shook her head and closed her eyes to make sure that actually just happend "Pozdravlyayu, you have beaten me at my own game." Drowsy made her way toward the mocha mare and her smile returned. "You are good runner, you know. But never will beat me in sky." She grinned "Rest now, you earned it!" The Pegasus gave a happy nod as she led the way to the rest area. She had worn herself out, too.

Drowsy was neck and neck with Madam Bistro. She met the mocha mares eyes and a devious smile formed. Suddenly looking forward, the Pegasus' legs started pumping faster than they ever had during the race, a look of determination in her eyes and a toothy grin spread on her muzzle as she pushed ahead of her trainee, approaching the final hurdle. "Catching me if you can! Haha!" If Bistro wanted to beat her, there was still a very good chance of doing so! She had to put everything she had into making this last jump and getting past the finish line. Drowsy Feather was not going easy anymore.

There were only 4 more hurdles left on the track, each were quite low and spread far enough apart for a full recovery after each jump. Keeping always one step ahead of Bistro, Drowsy blew her whistle after the hurdle. The plan was to keep Madam Bistro motivated, staying ahead just enough to be in front without making it seem like she couldn't take the lead if she pushed herself. Approaching the second hurdle, the Pegasus slowed down to give the illusion that she was being overtaken, hopefully motivating Bistro to make the jump perfectly to keep her lead.

Drowsy Feather motioned to the track that was now adorned with a few low hurdles along the way. "On whistle, we both do track, I run on inside of track and you run on outside and jump hurdles. If you can keeping up with me there will be prize! If not, doesn't matter." The Pegasus directed Madam Bistro to the starting line and readied her whistle, talking out of the side of her mouth she started the count down. "Three, two, one..." She blows on her whistle loudly and gave Bistro a little bit of a head start before running after her.

Drowsy laughed as the mare came to a stop. "Good, good. Warm now, da?" she said with a grin. "Do some jumps, twenty jumps on spot. The shake off, go get drink and come back to me. Hurdles next, I come with you." The green Pegasus blew her whistle again, before flying over to a pile of hurdles stacked beside the far end of the track. She went to work setting up each hurdle a good distance apart from one another, wings were beating furiously to get it done before Madam Bistro was finished with her jumps and drink.

Drowsy jumped a little as she saw Madam Bistro approach her yard. The Pegasus zoomed down to meet her, kicking her cloud aside as she does and landing softly in front of the visitor, a pleased expression on her face. "Da! Welcome, welcome. Stamina and agility. This is good. Can do this. Moment, please." she said in a thick Stallian accent. Drowsy moved around the mare and studied her body, mostly looking at her legs. She jumped up and with a single flap of her wings to suspend her in the air she pulled her saddle bag off and tossed it over by the nearby resting area. "First you stretch!" She stood in front of Bistro again demonstrate stretching her legs, one at a time. "Get stretch and then do lap. One lap. Ignore hurdles for now. Warm up, da? On whistle! Stretch and go!" She sounded her whistle, loudly, starting herself again.

Drowsy Feather Drowsy Feather// Pegasus // Female // Young Mare // Profile -Active- Drowsy's Training Yard *current*

Just on the outskirts of town, a tired looking Pegasus could be seen setting up for the day, putting large pails into place, placing various obstacles such as hurdles, ropes, balance beams and cans sitting on a plank of wood along with a few balls to throw at them. Once she was finished preparing the ground course, she collected surrounding clouds and arranged them so they would float just above her training yard for Pegasi to practice with. She flew on over to the gate that serves as an entrance to the ground part of her yard and put down a sign. "Drowsy Feather's Training Yard. Open to everyone. Please inquire about personal training." Drowsy blew on her whistle loudly, startling herself, signalling that her yard is now open and ready for use. She sighed and soared up to a cloud above her yard, laying back and watching the town below her. Her eyes fluttered as she struggled to stay awake through another day.
