Raxa snorted as the mare managed to move away a bit, angry that her attack hadn't hit the key mark. Instead, the weight had been shifted, so that the mare was on her front legs, balancing the mass of her body.
Oh damn, she knew what was coming next. While Raxa herself was a fast horse, it did nothing to help her escape from the kicking power of a horse's hind legs. The challenger aimed carefully, lashing out with her hind hooves with the most possible force she could offer. Raxa probably outweighed the mare by a number of pounds, considering that she was taller and more muscled due to her training, but that didn't mean this wouldn't hurt.
Pain exploded in Raxa's right side as the challenger's hooves struck her flank. The mare limped a bit as the challenger paced away, unfolding the wings on her back and gaining some height. From her distance a good ways away, the mare eyed Raxa, something the brindle did in return. Now she was beyond angry.
From Raxa's place, the mare limped a couple more steps, assessing the damage. No doubt she would have some internal bruising, but she'd recover in time. Now, the problem was this: how was she going to get near the other mare while suffering a limp like that?
She'd dealt with worse before. No matter, she'd make of the situation what she could. Picking up a walking pace, rasa worked through the trot and the canter, charging the mare as fast as she could go. Once she was within reach, she performed the same maneuver the challenger did. Knowing her hind leg couldn't take the weight of her body, she resorted to using a buck to hit the mare, figuring she'd have a better chance that way rather than trying to balance her weight on one good hind leg.
