Story: Annabella was already dreading work today. As much as she adored working on a ranch, there was just this one horse who always seemed to have it out for her. Today, it would be Annabella's job to monitor the mare and exercise her. Any other horse, she would've gladly taken, even the fiesty little colt they had. With a heavy sigh, she hopped in her Toyota, drove the six miles to the ranch, and went as slow as she could up the long, winding driveway.

As soon as Annabella checked in, was given a gentle warning for being late and a "good luck", she jogged into the pasture that the mare, Dee Dee, was in. She pulled her jacket tighter in the wind and pushed down her straw hat further, so it was almost over her eyes. "Here comes trouble..." Annabella muttered as Dee Dee appeared running towards her on the ridge. To her surprise, the mare ran right up to Annabella, despite typically making the ranch hand chase her. However, Annabella quickly found out her true intentions - which, no, were not good ones.

With a gentle swoosh of air that tickled Annabella's head, her hat was gone, and Dee Dee was running away like a mad man, clutching the hat in her teeth. "DEE DEE!" The ranch hand screamed, and took off, sprinting across the open fields. To her frustration and surprise, the mare flew right over the white picket fence, still holding the hat. Annabella struggled over the fence, catching her jacket on the line and ripped it right off. She cursed under her breath, and left the worthless jacket when she spotted Dee Dee way ahead of her, in the pasture near the barn.

Annabella was running across the field, looking crazy, towards Dee Dee in a rage, when she froze. Lined up against the face, with wide eyes, were her fellow ranch hands, and the owner of the barn. While many were trying so hard not to laugh at the sight - a triumphant and prancing Dee Dee, holding the hat tauntingly before Annabella, and a crazy-faced, frowning, wild-haired, winded Annabella - a couple looked surprised, and a tad frightened even. One of her friends cautiously said, "Annabella...?" Annabella red with embarrassment. "I..." She didn't know how to explain this at all. The ranch hand gave Dee Dee a glare that could burn holes.

Story:
River is an extremely intelligent mare and Tanya knew she would be trouble from the day she arrived. Tanya had grown quite close to River over the years, she road her in many shows and took care of her nearly everyday. The ranch owner had sent Tanya off with River earlier this morning for a big jumping show. The pair were on their way home now, a blue ribbon hung in the window. Tanya had issues with the mare in the past, River had learned how to open her stall. Tanya had changed the bolts to one River couldn't open on her stall. Little did she know the stall was not the only thing River could get out of.

Tanya sighed and glanced back, "River! Settle down back there would ya?" she called with her thick southern drawl. River was making so much noise back there for some reason, she had no clue why. Getting slightly worried Tanya was about to stop when she heard a loud clang. Tanya quickly pulled over on the side of the road and jumped out. She ran back and let out a gasp, the trailer door was open...and River wasn't in there! Tanya looked about and caught a glimpse of a buckskin and appy behind disappearing into a stand of trees. Tanya couldn't understand how the mare got out but there was no time to check. She grabbed her lasso that she always had in her truck and ran into the forest.

Tanya whistled,called and searched for hours, determined to find her beloved pain in the butt mare. She saw hoof prints leading off in one direction then the other, then another. She had no idea where the mare was headed, so she kept looking in hopes of finding more clues. Darkness began to settle and Tanya knew she had to go. What would she tell the ranch owner? How could she forgive herself? She thought miserably as she walked toward the truck. She walked over to close the trailer, low and behold munching away on some hay was River. "How, what....you crazy mare!" Tanya cried,running in and wrapping her arms about the horses neck. River's mane was full of sticks an burs, her coat muddy and ruffled, otherwise she was unharmed. Tanya closed the trailer after tying River back up and set off.

After she got back to the barn and had River groomed and put in the paddock, Tanya searched the trailer. In amazement she quickly figured it out. River had been banging around because she had pulled her halter off by rubbing it against the one bar for tying. Once it popped over her ears she shook it free and went to the window. From there she had stuck her head out the window and worked the special bolt free. "Smart, smart gal" Tanya murmured, she started over to River's fence and ran into the stable manger, Bess. "Woah, you all right there? You got back awful late an.....your a mess!" Bess exclaimed. Tanya hadn't looked at herself, turns out her an river were equally riffled looking. Tanya was all sweaty, her hair full of twigs and leaves, jeans covered in dust. Tanya chuckled, "I...its a long story but I need to go home an sleep! I will tell you tomorrow" she said leaving a confused Bess behind her. She walked over and leaned on the fence, closing her eyes as she was exhausted. She felt warm breath an smiled, "Hey smart gal, you are so troublesome you know..." she trailed off as she fell asleep, River resting her head on her shoulder with a gentle and mischievous gleam in her eye.

Story:

Eric walked through the barn, the sweet smell of hay greeting him warmly. Eric's long strides carried him over to a particular stall, Heaven's. Eric knew this would be an interesting day, considering Heaven's unnatural intelligence and longing to embarrass him. Eric peered over at the dry erase board mounted on the oaken walls next to him. Oh lordy... Eric thought as soon as he saw what his tasks were for today. Eric: Lead a trail ride today. Use Heaven. Eric sighed and rubbed his temples, trying to prepare himself for this torturous day. Heaven was a good mare, but she did like to embarrass Eric in any way possible.

Eric grabbed Heaven's turquoise lead rope and clipped it onto her matching halter. Eric looked deeply into Heaven's eyes, and he saw mischief dancing around them. That. Is. Great. Eric saddled Heaven up quickly, his hands flying expertly across her tack. With a brace expression on his face, Eric led Heaven out onto the mounting block and mounted since the clients were already on their horses. Surprisingly, Eric's saddle, and Eric, went flying over the side, and he hung limply underneath Heaven. Eric pulled his feet out of his stirrups and scrambled to his feet. "Are you okay??" One of the riders asked, a questioning look on their face. Eric nodded, blushing severely. Heaven had held her breath when he was tacking her up, of course. In no time Eric had fixed Heaven's tack and the group were off into the forest on a gorgeous trail.

Everything was going perfectly, too perfect. He thought dangerously. As if his "prayers" had been answered, Heaven took off at a gallop and straight into the nearby creek. She folded her legs neatly underneath and tried to roll. Eric jumped off in time to escape being drowned by the naughty mare. "Heaven!!!!!!!!" He yelled, face flushed like a cherry. In response, Heaven stood up and nosed Eric harshly into the creek. Eric then stood up and grabbed onto Heaven's reins, mounting her. For the rest of the trail the group was silent afraid to provoke Eric into another fit. And for the rest of the trail Eric was soaking wet.

When the trail group returned Eric started untacking Heaven, still furious with her. All the way back she had pranced along, a victorious swagger in her walk. He was done with this mare. After brushing Heaven and untacking her, Eric led her into her stall. As he walked out, he felt something brush against his skin. Eric turned to see Heaven standing next to him, head lowered in guilt. Eric couldn't help but smile. "You know what Heaven? You are not too bad." He laughed heartily, giving the mare a rub on her nose. Heaven nickered softly, resting her head on top of Eric's. "Alright, you are forgiven." Eric smiled, giving the mare a carrot.
