Story:
Chelsea took a deep breath of the clear mountain air. She was filled with nostalgia for the last time she had been here in the Apuseni mountains, at this very show. She reached down to stroke Delilah's neck, ruffling her thick mane. In the past two years, their bond had only grown stronger, and she felt more prepared than ever to take to the field with her pony. 

Soon enough, their call came and she pushed Delilah into her smooth canter. As Chelsea let go of the reins, Delilah lowered her head slightly, eating up the ground. Nocking her arrow, Chelsea focused in on the first target. She took a deep breath to steady herself, and drew her arrow back until the string touched the tip of her nose. She took her aim and released. There was no chance to check where her arrow had gone, with the next target approaching. As she was drawing her arrow, she was startled by a screech from behind her. A moment later, a large bird flashed past her. Delilah let out a startled snort as the eagle swooped in front of her. Chelsea quickly refocused her attention to the target, drawing back her arrow once more, hoping for no more surprises.
