Nate ran the soft brush across Destiny's withers, smiling as she let out a content nicker. She was perfect for their earlier ride, listening to every cue he gave her. He fed her one last mint before unclipping the cross-ties and leading her to her large stall. He slipped off her dark leather halter and hung it on her stall front. He patted her soft neck, bid her goodbye, and closed the stall door. As much as he would've liked to stay, he also had to ride his other horse, Winter. Winter was a young, green project horse he bought almost a year ago. He can be young and unpredictable, but he has great potential. Nate walked to the stall across from Destiny's, clicking his tongue to get the horses attention. He smiled when the familiar grey muzzle poked up, letting out a soft whinny. He opened the stall front and slipped on Winter's halter, talking softly to him. "I was thinking that we could check out the cross country course today? How does that sound? Maybe we could hit the trails as well." Trail riding was one of his favourite things to do, but he rarely had time to do so. He liked to take Winter off property to get him used to different things. Nate snapped out from his thoughts and pulled out a brush from his box and began to brush the young gelding.

Brooke sat atop her large gelding, King, rocking slowly in the saddle as they approached a jump. It was a comfortable height,
being around 3'0". Brooke counted the strides until the jump in her head. 3. 2. 1. Now! At the right moment, Brooklyn gently squeezed King's sides with her calves, rising out of the saddle and folding into a neat two-point. They landed on the other side, King letting out a snort and Brooklyn with a smile on her face. They slowed to a walk and Brooklyn patted his neck. "Good boy!" she cooed. For the last couple of days, they've been training rigorously, preparing for the up and coming show season. They were training to compete in the 3'0" division, a height class up from the previous year. She wanted to do well, and she knew she had to be prepared. After walking for a few more moments, Brooke gathered up her leather reins once again.

♔Raising her head with a pin of her ears as the sounds of clipping met Rosaline's ears, the mare soon relaxed her head down, lip drooping again, allowing Juliette to once again turn her attention to the mare's hooves. She was planning on washing off the mare, but there had been an abnormal sound as the pair travelled over the concrete, and so Juliette had wanted to investigate it as soon as she could, and so here she was, hoofpick in hand in case she needed to dislodge a stray stone.
The hind leg she was working on seemed to be clear, but before she could allow the leg to drop and move to the other side of the dozing mare, a splitting whinny caused both mare and girl to jump. Rosaline raised her head with a frightened squeal, snapping her hoof down and unbalancing her human, who landed on the hard stone, knees smarting as she stood quickly to get out of the way of the mare, who was now swinging her hind end to get a better look at the horse who had whinnied.
Dusting off her knees, the initial adrenaline rush from the fright fading, Juliette turned, half-imagining the girl from the showjumping arena to be standing in front of her. To her surprise, it was someone else - another redhead, but this time with a well-built, beautifully coloured KWPN in-hand. "Gosh, sorry, I didn't hear you approaching!" Jules half-laughed, retrieving the hoof pick from where it had skittered across the floor. Looking to both girl and gelding, tugging gently at the lead-rope to prevent Rosaline from reaching too close to the gelding, she noticed that both of them were in far more need of the washrack than she and Rosa. "I hope you weren't waiting too long, we'll be out of here soon! Did you have a good session this morning?" Offering the girl a smile, she reached for the hose, running the water for a second before turning it onto the bay mare, turning her pelt a darker brown. "I'm Juliette, by the way. And this is Rosaline. She's really nosy, sorry," Once again pulling Rosa's muzzle away from the gelding, knowing full well that the mare would squeal and wiggle if she allowed them to be too close for too long, she looked to the pair. Their equipment didn't seem like either showjumping or dressage equipment, so, adding that deduction to the fact that the pair had a good workout, by the looks of things, they didn't seem to be competition of hers, not just yet, anyway, so Juliette smiled. "Were you on the cross country course?" She inquired, hoping that their conversation would mean that the girl wasn't annoyed at her for taking up a wash rack.

♗Breathing deliberately, concentrating hard, Ty sat deeper in the saddle, asking her for a stop in her trot. Obliging calmly, Cersei flicked one ear back to him, listening for her next signal. Squeezing with his right leg and loosening the left rein, Ty asked the mare to spin, ready to count. Show rules require four and a quarter spins, and Ty couldn't watch Cerse from off-saddle, and so had developed a slightly awkward way of counting by looking at the ground for something noticeable. The palomino mare took the signal, and began to spin... One.. Two.. Three.. Half... Leaping forward all-too-prematurely, Cersei pushed herself into a lope, ears pricked and pace bouncy as though she knew she did well and deserved a treat. Chuckling, Ty patted her neck, but didn't give a treat, then asked her for a sliding stop, preparing to spin once again. The mare obediently slid, but a whistle ran out through the arena, and the mare, recognizing the same call that Ty would have used, bounded towards the other man, sending Ty shooting backwards in the saddle with a "Whoah!".
Laughing as he turned the mare away from Amos before she got too close, Ty slowed her to a walk, watching the man mount his stallion. As Moon moved beside Cersei, the mare moved her muzzle cheekily, trying to bump the stallion's, but Ty quickly engaged the reins, stopping her flirting in its tracks. At the other man's question, Ty thought for a minute. "Uhm... Let's see... Cerse here," Petting the mare's neck as he counted in his mind, he continued "Five, so I've had her for four years. I trained her myself, that's why she's so bold." Chuckling lightly, he then continued. "And I've only had Jorah for about a year, I think." Gesturing to the man, he turned the question on him. "What about you and Moon? How long have you two been a team?" Grinning goofily, he allowed the man to tell his story before asking, "Will we go out on the trails, or do you want to do more work?"

♖Smiling gratefully as the girl offered to show him the tack room, instead of following her directly under his horse's crossties - something he thought to be dangerous, especially when he didn't know the horse - Lee thanked the girl as she told him where things were. Turning on his heel and quickly darting out to his trailer, eager to get his tack moved in, he paused at Hedwig's stall, slipping a polo into his palm and offering it to the mare. Turning away, Lee's entire face lit up as he spotted a pale, placid Percheron approaching him, tacked up and ready to train. Another driver! His eyes moved to the girl leading him, his relief and excitement at having another person with the same passion as his clear on his features, and, as the girl greeted him, he raised a hand. "Thanks!" Leaning back against Hedwig's door, relief flooding over him and rinsing away his anxieties, he laughed lightly as Hedwig brushed his hair with her rubbery lips, looking for another treat. Moving away from the stall, now eager to get officially moved in, Ty darted back out the way he had come in, but soon paused as he spotted the Percheron, two girls and another man standing in the door. Not wanting to spook the horse, he slowed, but turned once he was out the door. "He's a handsome lad! It's nice to meet you all!" He called, striding backwards for a couple of steps and offering them all a little wave. He wasn't quite sure who owned the horse, so it was better to greet them all. Fishing the keys out of his pocket, he unlocked the back of the trailer, and, moments later, re-emerged with armfuls of leather, metal and wood. He wasn't going to try to bring it all in one trip, but he still made sure to lock the trailer back up, despite the struggles, because he had had too many rough experiences with unlocked trailers. Carrying his load back inside, he soon noted that the pinto horse that the girl seemed to have owned was missing. Huh, she must move quick. Frowning lightly at the mess the girl had left, Lee shook his head, dipping into the tackroom to leave his things. Scrawling his name on one of the place-cards that would state that the things were his, he turned, eager to get the rest. Striding out into the sunlight, an excitement bubbled within him. This academy would provide him with so many opportunities!

Alaska sighed softly as she led her yearling past a boy who was taking his things out of his horse trailer. She saw people in the barn doorway, and she huffed, she then started walking towards the back barn door to bring her horse in though there, she was trying to be unseen,
but she knew Hedi needed a bath and so did she. So she walked to the stall that had a 'for sale' sign on it, the sign said 'proudly offwring White Mountain Cash aka Hedi up for sale, she is a mare, she is registered AQHA and is a yearling, her birthday is July 2nd, 2016, her sire won many world awards including gran champions and reserved champions in all around western and halter, she has been tested and all tests came back negative, she is priced at $4,500 for an uncomplicated sale, owners name is Alaska Falcon' she then grabbed 2 of her towels as she led Hedi to the hose near the side of the barn as she tied her to a ring on the barn side, she then turned the water on and started washing Hedi off first, making sure to use a little soap on her white spots.

Lucy watched the riders moving around as she opened the tack room door on her trailer. She pulled off the ponies blanket then laid it in the trailer floor. She'd work on moving then over later. she through about it for a minute longer than lead the white pony across the way to the pastures. She let him out in an open one. He danced off eagerly then spotted and looked for his buddies."I'll get Theo." She crooned to the pony.

Lucy kneeled down next to the dun ponies legs. The boots where easy to remove. She had done it a million times.. She tossed then into the trailer floor. Theo nuzzled her as she bent down to unclip the blanket."I don't have any food Theo," Dan stood calmly for now. Lucy tossed the blanket into the floor too. Theo stifftened up but then relaxed as she took the rope. Theo pranced at her side over to the field. She pulled off the halter and he floated out to join Whiskey. They took off running around the field playing chase. As much as she would have loved to watch them Dan was waiting.Lucy pulled off Dan's travel tack and let it fall on the stack. She started to groom with.

Amos winced apologetically when he saw how Cersei reacted to him calling for Moon. "Sorry man, didn't mean to throw you off back there. It's how I work with Moon whenever I get somewhere new. Need to make sure he will follow commands even in a new location." he stated as he patted Moon's neck. The stallion snorted and moved his head away when Cersei tried to bump him. He wasn't really interested in the finicky mare; aside from that, he was very obedient under the saddle and would stand easy until Amos told him otherwise.

Amos listened to Tyler answer his question about how long he had his horses. He chuckled at his explanation for her behavior then looked down at Moon. "Well, I've had him for.....nearly 5 years now. He was born as a twin but his mother couldn't produce enough milk for both of the foals. So, when my aunt and uncle found out about him, they bought him and gave him to me to raise. So, I guess I've had this guy since he was bottle fed really," he answered, stroking Moon's neck as he bobbed his head, knowing they were talking about him. Then when Tyler asked where they were going to ride, Amos thought for a moment then answered, "Let's go on the trails. I'll run Moon through some paces later today. The stable manager said they would be bringing in some cattle in a few days for us to practice cutting. But I can run through barrels later. You just do reining, right?"

Brooklyn pulled off King's leather saddle and place it on a saddle rack. She ran her hand over the soft leather and smiled. She had saved up all summer from mucking stalls and walking dogs, and she was glad she could proudly say that she payed for her Butet all by herself. She glanced at the large patches of sweat on King's back and girth area and grimaced. It was pretty warm outside,
so she decided to give him a bubble bath. A wash was long overdue, as proven by thin layer of dust residing on his coat. Brooklyn clipped a navy blue cotton lead on his leather halter and unclipped the cross-ties. She turned him around and led him out of the barn, his hooves clicking satisfyingly against the ground. They made their way to the washing area before seeing a girl who seemed to be a few years older than herself. She was washing a young horse, most likely a yearling. It was a beautiful chestnut paint with stark white patches. Brooke led King up beside the yearling, tying the lead around a ring attached to the barn wall before grabbing another hose. "Your yearling is beautiful," Brooklyn exclaimed as she turned on the water.

☞Seamus nodded, committing her name to memory as he studied her face, taking a mental image of it to store for later encounters. The tall, young Irishman shook his head, not bothered by her choice of position one bit. "You're more than welcome to stay here as long as you'd like. I'm just clipping the beast to prevent too much sweating during winter workouts." As if one cue, Beau let out an unenthusiastic snort, front hoof pawing impatiently for treats. The handsome lad couldn't stop the slight cringe that coated his face at his gelding's unruly behavior. Seamus glanced over his shoulder at the large, stocky demon, shooting him a warning glare through narrowed blue eyes. Clearing his throat, he turned his attention back to Zoey as she spoke, not wanting to seem rude or uninterested. "Yup! He was born and raised there. I flew over from Ireland when he was about a year or so old to scope him out. The moment I saw him I fell in love and that was that. Beau stayed in a training program over there until he was about four and a half I'd say. I actually just got him all to myself on the move here. He did a lot of basic level dressage to help him with movement and muscle, but we compete as a pair in the jumpers. Unfortunately, I held off on gelding him for a bit longer than I should've and I think that's why he's such an entitled brat." Seamus chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck with a large, coarse hand, nodding along in interest as Zoey declared herself a hunter.

With a sigh, she lead York back to his cross ties. Bending down, Elizabeth gathered up all the grooming supplies, placing them back in the basket. Elizabeth placed the basket a good few feet away from York, on the ground where he couldn't spook himself. Voices made her look up. Lee had walked back towards his trailer. Elizabeth felt a pang in her heart. Had he been that ignoring that he had even not turned back when he heard a crash and a neigh? Her like of him ceased a little. Was everyone at that academy a stuck-up like Juliette or a cute but ignorant boy like Lee? The red head sighed. She groomed Sailor quickly. The sound of the curry comb calmed her down. By the time she was picking out the rocks in his hooves, she was in a rhythm. Before she knew it, the teen was done. Elizabeth turned and stepped into the tack room, grabbing two of her dapple horse's favorite treats. The Dutch Warmblood quickly crunched the treats, happily flicking his tail. Elizabeth unclipped him, clipped on his light green lead rope, and lead him down the barn aisle and into his stall. His stall was farther down, close to where Lee's trailer and two girls and a boy were gathered. Elizabeth lowered her a head. What if they had seen her stupid mistake? "Excuse me, sorry." Her voice was only slightly audible as she unlatched the lock with a metal thud. The door opened cleanly, and York stepped inside with a raised head and high feet. York peered through the stall bars, inquisitive about these strange people outside his stall. The dapple grey lapped some water, a bit tired after their hard jumping session. Elizabeth hung up his halter and lead rope on the hook.

☞Aspen giggled softly as she watched the young man's reaction to Ty's sudden entrance from her spot on the ground. As the newcomer relaxed, the pretty blonde made eye contact with him and offered him a warm, comforting smile. For what seemed like forever, the pair just stared at each other, her blue eyes soft yet unblinking. Finally, she noticed a hand extending towards her and quickly accepted it, using his weight to hoist herself back up onto two clumsy feet. The older teen quickly brushed off her breeches before glancing up at the slightly awkward man before her. "Hello Jin. It's very nice to meet you! I'm Aspen and it's not a big deal at all, I'm very clumsy as it is so that was bound to happen at some point today. You were just lucky enough to witness it." Aspen grinned cheekily, a faint blush coating her cheeks at her own inability to stay on her own two feet for very long. Just as she prepared to open her mouth again and follow her own rule of being open to new friends, the girl heard a quiet voice just behind them. Head snapping to glance over her shoulder, she caught sight of a young woman around her own age leading a handsome gray stallion back towards his stall. Aspen briskly stepped out of the way, not wanting to block the stall door or cause any trouble between the stallion and Ty. Curious, the slender blonde peered into the stall, smiling at the beautiful animal inside. "He's gorgeous. What breed is he?" she questioned politely, turning to meet the other woman's eyes.
