Route Two of the Hawthorn Hooves Stable Event
You were up before the dawn, but you weren’t the only one, and, as the sun rose its sleepy head into the sky, the Search and Rescue group were ready to head out again. The group stumbled across - or, more accurately, into - a small creek, and, even more exciting, the tell-tale hoofprints in the thick mud.

Following the creek led you all to a small oasis, and, relaxing in the cool midday sun, some dozing, some sipping from the water, others just sitting, the second group of horses.


This is Route Two's Special Horse! Remember you must first enter in the Route Two prompt before you enter for any horses listed as route one. You may only win two horses per route, excluding the horses listed as "Special," of which you may only win one total.

Competition: This mare seems more skiddish than most on this route. It seems like shes having some trouble trusting people. How do you go about catching her? 300 word maximum.

Competition:
Reine sat on a tree stump, watching the mare carefully. She lightly patted Bentley's nose, brushing his cheek. The flighty mare bolted around, bucking at nothing. she snorted, making eye contact with Reine and Bentley for a second before going into another bucking fit. "How skittish can a horse be?" Reine asked Bentley, who gave her a huff in response. Reine took a peppermint out of her pocket which Bently tried to snatch away from her. "No bud, this is for her."

Reine stood up, going to try and lure the mare away. Before she could even do a thing Bently trotted over to the mare, bickering happily. The mare, who Reine nicknamed "Flight" pranced around him, showing off her moves. Bently seemed to roll his eyes, attempting to mimic her. This ended up in the two prancing around the clearing, both challenging each other to some sort of dance battle. Reine just shook her head and chuckled. Bently walked up to Reine again, managing to grab the peppermint this time. "Flight" stuck next to Bently, giving Reine a look before slowly taking the extra peppermint Reine had in her pocket. Reine smiled a brushed her snout gently, slipping the halter on. "There ya go girl... you'll be safe with me"

    Username;; Exotica.
    Show Name: The Lady of the Nile
    Barn Name: Nefertiti
    Gender: Mare
    Age: 4 Years
    Height: 17.1 hh
    Halter: Brown Leather
    Discipline: Eventing
    Competition:
    The first time I saw Nefertiti, I knew she would be hard to catch.

    Nefertiti ran away from everyone in the search and rescue group. If you got within 20 feet of her, she ran. After 30 minutes of running around with the rest of the volunteers trying to get a lead around her neck, we gave up and reconvened at the edge of the path. While I talked to the other volunteers, my mare Mystique was left to meander about the little clearing.

    I looked up from my conversation with the other volunteers to see Mystique 5 feet away from Nefertiti. She calmly walked right up to Nefertiti and began grazing along side her. Nefertiti tensed up, but quickly noticed that the mare was alone. We watched as the two mares grazed together for a few minutes.

    Once Nefertiti appeared to be as calm as possible, I grabbed the longest lead I could find and slowly walked toward her. I made sure to be as quiet as possible, keeping Mystique between Nefertiti and I. I could almost swear Mystique understood what I was doing. She kept shifting her hooves, making just enough noise to cover my footsteps.

    After the longest minute of walking in my life I was standing at Mystique's shoulder. In one swift movement, I came around Mystique and got my lead around Nefertiti's neck. I knew she would panic so I let go of the lead and let her do as she pleased. Once she settled down a bit, I grabbed the end of the lead and tied it to Mystique's saddle. When the lead was secure, I hopped on Mystique's back and we all started heading back to the trailer.

    Competition:
    Most of the Oasis horses had been rounded up by now as Alex watched a small group of people trying to round up the mismarked mare. She dismounted from Orla and wandered over to help. She could see now that the mare was dripping with sweat, she was visibly stressed. Every time someone approached and attempted to put on a halter she jolted back, running across the oasis again. Everyone was distraught at what to do. Alex watched her do this a few times, jolt her head back harshly as a halter got pulled on her, it was clear to Alex now... she was extremely head shy.

    Alex called the others trying back as she reached into her saddle back and brought out a lead rope. "I have an idea." She announced. She quietly called and cooed to the mare, approaching slowly. The mare was weary, but curious and let Alex approach. She didn't try instantly to rope her, just talked to her quietly, patting and scratching her, letting her know she didn't mean her harm. Then she place the rope around her neck. The mare jumped slightly but settled. Then Alex moved the rope up, slowly, to her head, making a makeshift head collar from the rope. "Gotcha," she smiled, leading the mare back over to the group. They were able to attach a proper halter now and get her sorted. It could have gone a lot worse.

Show Name: Polar North's Sweet Autumn Hymn
Barn Name: Lyra
Gender: Mare
Age: 1 Year
Height: 16hh
Halter: Dark teal with gold hardware
Discipline: Western Barrel Racing
Competition: Lyra's stomach rumbled as she backed up from the approaching mare and rider, the bright blue figure atop of the other horse frightened her- Their smell was so foreign, they could sense the smell of a wolf on them, how did she know it wasn't a trick?

Others had come at her with rope, smelling like strange chickens, cattle and dogs, some smelled of things that she had never experienced before, it was overwhelming to her.

As if being lost wasn't bad enough! And on top of that, she hadn't eaten since the previous evening and her stomach was beginning to rampage if it didn't get something to eat soon.

She'd have started grazing if the grass wasn't brittle and dead around her, and while those berries from the trees looked tempting they reeked of something sour that would surely upset her stomach.

The blue furred being stepped down from the horse's saddle, something orange in their hand, it smelled delicious and sweet and crisp and-- Like carrots!

As Lyra approached she could see the person better now, they didn't have a wolf with them but still smelled of one... How strange.

They seemed gentle enough... And Lyra was desperately hungry.

Just a nibble wouldn't hurt, right? Just one teensy bite?

She heard a crunch from the other side of the person and turned to look, their mount was eating their food, so surely it couldn't have been dangerous!

Maybe... She could take the whole thing? Maybe?

She extended herself to lean forward and take the carrot, aware of everything around her in that moment, but to her surprise, no nets were thrown, no ropes were lassoed, no 'gotcha!' moment.

Just her, the other horse, the rider and a few carrots.

The rider proceeded to gain her trust, proving that they didn't really have anything up their sleeve except carrots.

They said that Lyra would have to walk just a little bit if she wanted those carrots, she was so tired and so hungry, she had already walked circles around what felt like the entire globe, what was a few more steps?

She didn't notice that she was being led out of the area until it was already over and she was rewarded with not only another delicious, juicy carrot, but a bucket of feed as well.

The rider had led her to safety without scaring her one bit!

Lyra felt safe with this person and their horse, felt like she could follow them anywhere, for that she was thankful, but she was mostly thankful for the food.

(428 words)

*Clarification- The wolf that Lyra smelled is a low content wolf hybrid dog that lives at the ranch that Sam owns, his name is Pierce, and while he may have spooked Lyra with his smell, he's actually a very friendly boyo.

Age: 9 years
Height: 15.2 hh
Halter: soft pink
Discipline: barrel racing
Competition:
Terry decided to ignore the mare, everyone else had tried chasing her, bribing with treats, but no one had let her just breath.
Terry pulled of Teddys saddle and put a little grain on the ground for him. She then pulled out a brush and started to groom him.

Genie let herself relax a smidge the scary humans had goon to the other side of the clearing. She peeked at the stallion and the women. And on seeing the stallion stretch out his neck and wiggle his bottom lip like the human had hit a good spot. Sent a lance of jealousy through Genie. The last bit of fear seeped out of Genie, she walked up behind women. Soon she finished brushing the stallion, but the women did not turn around. So Genie gave her an imperious shove on her shoulder. The humans spun around and both of them froze.

Finally Genie got fed up with the women and she reached out her nose and shoved the hand holding the brush. Slowly the woman stepped up to her neck and started to brush. And then the women hit THE SPOT, that one at the top of her hip and Genie closed her eyes stretched out her neck, bobbing her head a little and wiggling her lips.

Genie followed the woman around the stallion after she was done being brushed. She stood just a little back from the stallion's hip as he was saddled up. Terry reached for a halter and lead rope. Genie lifted her head in weariness, waiting to see what the women would do. The women turned around and held the halter out. Genie eyed it up and then put her muzzle through the nose band.

Competition:

Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester

Fire danced within her eyes. Refusing to be captured and dodging every chance she saw. There were rumors about an untamable mare within the group. Cassie had dealt with “untamable” horses before, but she had something none of the others had. Something wild about her.

As the rest of the group rounded up the last of the heard, A few of them began to circle. As the circle closed in on the mare, the whites of her eyes became more noticeable. Cassie almost lost all sense of urgency with the mission, she became so entranced with the young mare. Noticing this the mare took her shot and barreled past Cassie and blue. Blue reared back with shock and Cassie almost lost her balance but was able to regain once back on all fours.

“Leave her be, the blizzards just about in. We can’t risk the rest for one silly mare! Move out!!” One of the leaders called. Cassie started to panic, there was no way she was leaving the mare. “Come on blue!” She exclaimed, and with that they were on hot pursuit of the filly. Following the hoof prints they were finally able to where she had slowed. Cassie quickly jumped off of blue and moved with haste towards the mare.

The mare reared back, sending out a shriek and pawing the sky. “Easy girl, your okay..” Cassie walked closer, palm out flat. “Easy girl..” taking a deep breath she moved closer. Pawing the ground she snorting loudly. Cassie clicked to her a few times. Becoming more calm she walked forward and placed her nose in cassie’s hand. Cassie smiled “see girl not so bad huh?” Able to slip a lead over her head she shook her mane and gave a snort. “Let’s go home” Cassie said relieved.
