..And now entering the ring, Exotic Life handled by Jersey Evans..


This was his time to shine. Although the yearling was an amateur in the show ring, it was apparent that he fit in perfectly. His sparkling black coat had been thoroughly groomed the night before, then again before the show itself.
One glance at him, and someone would think that they were looking directly at Accelerate Your Life reincarnated. Exotic Life resembled every bit of his sire, from his adorably dished face, to his flawless black coat. His conformation was just as perfect as well.
The youthful Arabian practically floated alongside his handler, who controlled the yearling with a red and yellow braided lead, which was clipped to a shockingly festive, yet matching halter. Dark red and light yellow material were braided together to make up the general halter, and warm yellow tassles dangled from the headpiece and cheekpieces of said halter.
When the command was given, the yearling came to a halt alongside his handler. With more aids from his instructor, he positioned both front hooves squarely beneath his chest, and both hind legs stretched out behind him so that he could extend his flat back. The colt's thin neck was craned forward, his teacup-like head pointing out towards the audience seated before him. Despite this colt's lack of show experience, there was no doubt that he was stunning in every aspect.

The man over a loud speaker would announce, Caleyndar.

Like a stately gentleman of the desert, he put his entrance in the view of the judge. Nearly white coat groomed to perfection, dazzling the eyes with such wonder. A lengthy tail trailed behind nearly floating, yet so untangled even at it's span. Once placed in position of a halt, he remained eyes on handler at all times. Not once did someone ever need to ask him a favor, he knew by old habit where his hooves belonged; slightly squared and stretched out.

Upon ones closer examination, his halter would make for immediate eye capture. A bright pink with lavender mixture, tassles and all. A well oiled muzzle pronounced the coloration of his mug, even along the eyes and ears as well. When the canine handler asked for his movement, he would do so in the most fluid of motions. Caleyndar remained poised, allowing the judge to take a good look at his structure in movement. Once completed the grey Stallion returned to his spot, awaiting the final judgemental call.
