Tristan managed to get everything he needed done before Ludvig came down, and when the instructor did come Tristan led Hugo out of his stall to see two newcomers. He walked over to them both, a boy and a girl. "Hello there ah'm Tristan." he told both with a slight smile, his very obvious southern accent showing in his way of talking. "An this mah horse Hugo."

Erica shouldered her pack and walked back out to get Nikolas ready, she did so easily and was ready far before Ludvig came into the barn. She had had no distractions like everyone else.... She snorted to herself and led her dark bay stallion out of the stall. She saw a group of people standing around introducing themselves. She made her way over, Nikolas's hooves clicking on the floor behind her. As she drew closer she could hear that the boy was from England like herself, which made her smile. It was always nice to have someone who could understand where you had come from. Erica hung back a bit though, feeling shy as usual.

Tommy added the finishing touches to his camping gear, slipping on Spindleberry's bridle. As he fastened the straps quietly, he noticed a girl smiling at him. Politely returning the smile, he nodded to her, feeling shy as well. When Ludvig's voice came booming into the barn, he was spurred into action, tightening everything and moving out quickly after putting on his helmet.

Eve turned Dmitri so he was walking next to Spindleberry, and she smiled again at Tommy. "So, we never quite finished our conversation," she said, wanting to make friends, "You're new here too?" With one hand she clasped the clip of her helmet, her crop she hardly ever used in the crook of her arm, the other hand on the reins. She knew Dmitri like the back of her hand, though, and didn't figure he would run off or anything.

[~Erica~]

Tristan paused totally confused as she said Hugo the man horse?? When had he said that? He rubbed the back of his neck trying to figure out what the heck she had meant, and then it hit him. Tristan let out a laugh, it was his accent that had confused her. He had been say Hugo my horse, and she must have heard man instead of my. That made him chuckle, however as soon as he had figured out what she had meant Ludvig called to say it was time to go. He untied Hugo and mounted up on his new Australia saddle, settling into it with a happy sigh. It was comfortable, he walked Hugo out into the yard and waited wondering what to do next. He was shivering too, it was cold!

Erica saw his returned smile and felt a little encouraged, feeling that maybe she would go introduce herself to him. Then of course Ludvig called for them to head out and she tugged Nikolas back out into the open. The stallion didn't want to go back out into the cold and wander the forest, and she didn't blame him. Erica herself didn't mind the cold, she liked it even, but she did not want to go back into the forest after what had happened before. She mounted up swiftly and sat easily atop her horse. She gave his neck a pat and glanced around. Darn the other girl, Eve, was talking to him now. Erica sighed and messed with her hair, well the part that fell out from under her helmet anyways.

Russell was patting Lena on the neck when he heard Ludvig's call from outside. He almost felt better about what happened between him and Allie, but it would still be awkward between the both of them. "Allie, its time to go incase you didn't hear Ludvig," he called down the stables before leading Lena down the isle to meet Allie. He wanted to make a joke about Ludvig, something about him being bossy and strict, but he couldn't think of anything. His mood rising a bit, he smiled at Allie. "I'm sorry for walking off like that. There really wasn't any point in it..." he added wanting to let her know that he felt better about it and wanted her to.

"It's fine really. It was just an ackward moment is all. Come on Titan time to hit the trails." Allison said to him begining to walk to the door. She looked over her shoulder and saw Titan following like a loyal dog without her having to lead him. She knew some horses did this and wa happy Titan was one of those. She had commenly taught the stallions at her old ranch to go off leash like this. It made it easier to get them out of he field and made the price they could sell them go up. The trick to this was the first few times you kept a suger cube in your pocket which they would try to get at. They would only get the cube though once they reached their destination.

-Annalise-

A chilling wind ruffled Annalise's hair. She had a feeling that this numb, cold feeling was going to last throughout the entire camping tramp. With a sigh, she mounted Anastasia. The australian saddle was surprising confortable, much like a western saddle but no horn. She gathered up her reins and stroked her mare's sleak, snow-white neck. She chuckled at the thought of losing her mare in the snow.

"You ready for this?"she asked her lovely horse. The horse merely sighed. Annalise laughed at this. Her horses wasn't excited about the camping trip either!


-Ludvig-

Sitting atride his stallion, Ludvig watched as his students filed out. They were all ready and on time, and they all seemed to be prepared, but he knew that at least one of them forgot something. He would deal with that later, though.

"The buddy system shall be used on this trip so no one will be lost. More rules will be laid down once we reach the camping site,"Ludvig stated,"Now, mount up and let's move out!" He urged his horse forward and made his way towards the wooded trail.

Russell followed Allie and Titan outside to where Ludvig and the other students where, Lena in hand. He didn't trust the young mare enough to see if she would follow him, instead he just held the reins loosly while he walked. "Glad you think so," he said, a smile appearing on his face. Once outside, he listened to Ludvig's orders, Wonder how the buddy system will work and if Ludvig would allow me and Allie to be "buddies" he thought, almost convinced Ludvig wouldn't allow it. He now remembered how cold it was outside and the whole camping idea kind of got shot down for him. He didn't like the fact that he would probably be freezing the entire time. Mounting Lena just as Ludvig had said, he waited for Allie to mount Titan. He noticed that Ludvig had riden over to the same trail that they were riding in before, the one where the horses spooked. This time though, he would pay more attention and look out for Allie so she didn't get scared of Titan throwing her, and the others of course.

Eve sighed as a cold wind pressed itself against her, chilling her pale skin and ruffling her hair. "Might not have been the best day for a camping trip," she sighed to her horse, and anyone close enough to hear her, though she didn't expect anyone to respond. Patting the handsome bay on his muscled neck, his black mane hanging loose and a little damp, she gently kicked him into a slow trot. One of the things she loved about Dmitri was that he had such a slow trot; it was challenging, and his canter was so fast that it was a fun transition. From practically walking, going slower than a fly, to her hair spinning back, the wind caught in her face, and them zipping by fences and tree's with ease.

Tommy could see Spindleberry out of the corner of his eye turn her head to look at Dmitri. He looked around her shoulder and saw Eve giving him a smile, and he returned it. "Yeah, I got here yesterday," he said, combing through Spindleberry's mane and straightening it out a bit, slipping into his obsessive mode. "Where are you from?" he asked her,shy, but curious.
As soon as he could, he mounted up, situating himself in the saddle, getting a feel for the horse. She was thin, abut had a dip between her stomach and shoulders, which as a perfect spot for Tommy to put his legs. As he asked her for a gentle trot, he could feel the cold air stinging his face, even going slow.
The Russian landscape took his breath away. Used to the busy streets of London, the countryside was new to him. He could feel everything Spindleberry could--the whip of a chilling breeze, the soft pine needle-bedded ground as they walked through the conifers, the uneven terrain...everything.
Tommy drew Spindleberry back up next to Dmitri, since he was talking to Eve obviously. However he kept the two horses apart by a few feet, considering Dmitri was a stallion. He glanced around for a few seconds, memorizing a few of the horses and their riders as well. Seeing a girl astride a dark bay stallion, he recognized her as the one that had given him a smile earlier. He half-waved at her, a silent hello, and also a silent 'Just one minute.'

Allison mounted Titan with less grace then normal. Great I have to try to get on my giant horse in this snow the whole time. Allison thought to herself. Then she looked at Russel and urged Titan into a walk to come up beside him. "You ready? I wonder if Ludvig will let us be 'buddies'. I hope so and I don't have to be buddies with some random person I don't know. " Allison said. She was happy to see Russel smile again. She didn't like his frown it made her feel sad inside. The only downside to this trip was the fact that it would be freezing outside. Well hopefully she would have something to distract herself from the cold.
