You could hurt with the words,
You could change my life,
You could tell me the truth,
It would cut like a knife but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go
You could fall, hit the wall
You could lose your way
You could lose, you could bruise,
Spend it all in day but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go
Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)
They could take, they could hate
They could break our hearts
They could try all they want,
Never tear us apart, we will not let go,
We will not let go, we will not let go
Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through
Cause you know we are made, made, made, made
All of them are fake, fake, fake, fake
We just gotta break, break, break, break
You know we are made, made, made, made
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)
Cause you know we are made...

Made by The Wanted

Isabelle Scott
Female|No Crush...for now.|20| Knight In Shinging Armor

Isabelle thought about her history. Growing up in an orphanage probably wasn't the worst thing that could have happened to her. Even being abandoned by her parents didn't make her sad since she never knew them. The best day her life, besides the first time she rode a horse, was when she found out her mother had given her money for when she was fifteen. Immediately, she went to a horse farm and bought Knight. Friesian's had always been her favorite breed of horse.
She jumped as someone spoke to her. "Um, sure." She mumbled and scooted over to give him room. First thing she noticed, was his 'tough-guy' look. Then she looked at his eyes. They were strangely soft and welcoming. Izzy quickly flicked her eyes away and looked at the horses. Knight In Shining Armor walked over and sniffed the new mare. She was well built and clearly a jumper, though she looked like she had racing in her blood. He shook his mane and pawed at the ground to catch her attention.

Marcus Flinn
Male|No Crush...for now.|19|Mysterious Lady

Marcus smiled a little. He never thought of having a girlfriend, never wanted one really. Don't get him wrong, November was very cute, but there is more to a person than their looks. He watched Sylus and Mystery. The Arabian mare snorted at him. Then she hesitantly walked over to him. Mystery snorted after she sniffed him. She lowered her head and grazed, watching his reaction.
Marcus shook his head at the horses. If only human love was easier. Being 'cute', as November had called him, had always gotten him attention, even when he didn't want it. Prom had been miserable for him. If it was up to him, he wouldn't have went, but his mother made him. "What breed is Sylus?" He asked, changing the subject.

She went and grabbed the bridle. "I imagine this goes on just like an english just without a noseband." She said, putting her arm in between his ears and pulling the bridle up, holding his bit. She was surprised at how easy he took it. She held the reins and stood back and looked at him. "He is truly beautiful and a lot more behaved than Bentley." She said, glancing at Bentley who was walking in circles in his stall. She laughed watching him stop and snort at her. "Bentley sure is happy to have a friend." She said, looking at Grey, smiling.

{G.r.e.y.s.o.n // Ignus ~ Western}

Ignus strained against the reins took take a few more steps closer to Bentley. His head bobbed up and down, his ears pricked forwards, and his eyes bright. He hadn't had a friend in a while since Grey and him had left their ranch. Greyson laughed softly, finishing with the saddle and touching the Strawberry roan's neck gently. "Thanks...but believe me, when he's in a bad mood, or wanting to get me angry, he's pretty stubborn and annoying." He said, chuckling softly as Ig turned his head and snorted at him.

{Bentley - 19 - English}

She laughed. "Sounds like Bentley all the time." She said, rubbing Bentleys long black neck. "So we going?" She asked, ready to get up and ride. Now she couldnt wait just to get out there and start riding. Riding is one of her favorite things and it always will be. She knew first that Western rode with one hand with both reins in one hand and you didn't pull to your hip. You pulled your hand out to the side and neck reined.

[Miss Understood]

Jason smiled and chuckled lightly as he watched her jump when she noticed him. He sat down beside her and studdied her, she was average for a gilr but compared to himself she looked small. But her dark hair and light eyes matched with her carmel skin made her stand out from other girls he had met before. After looking her over he turned his glance to Gun, he watched her as she studied the stallion before nickering softly and saying hi. "Thats a suprise" he mumbled "She usually is quite shy around new horses... By the way, my name is Jason."

November laughed as she watched Sylus stretch his neck out to nudge the mare on her withers trying to get her attention. Sylus nickered and liped lightly at the mares mane as he pawed trying to look like such a tough guy. "Hes such a flirt" November laughed as she watched him trying despratly to get the poor mares attention. "Sylus is a Trakehner, hes a horrible flirt but he knows his stuff in the ring." She replied turning back to Marcus.

"Of Course, get on up there!" Greyson said, a broad smile on his face as he took a step back and motioned for Natalie to mount. "Before we get going, impress me with your knowledge of Western riding." He said, a teasing tone in his voice. As he looked at the girl he had just met, he felt like he had known her for much longer than a few minutes.

[gotsalt?]

Wish I had concentrated.
They said love was complicated, but it's something I just fell into.
And it was overrated, but just look what I created.
I came out alive, but I'm black and blue.
Before you ask me if I'm alright think about what I have to do...
Wake-up and smell the break up.
Fix my heart, put on my make-up.
Another mess I didn't plan.
And I'll bet you thought you beat me.
Wish you could only see I got an "I Heart ?" written on the back of my hand.
I'd be fine if you just walked by,
but you had to talk about why you were wrong and I was right.
But I can't believe you made me sit at home, cry like a baby, wait right by the phone every night.
And now you ask about you and I, there's no you and I,
remember what you put me through I had to...
Wake-up and smell the break up.
Fix my heart, put on my make-up.
Another mess I didn't plan.
And I'll bet you thought you beat me.
Wish you could only see I got an "I Heart ?" written on the back of my hand.
And when you're home all alone at night,
you'll still wonder why you took everything I had, oh baby.
I haven't thought about you and I, there's no you and I, and I know someday you will...
Wake-up and smell the break up.
Realize that we won't make up.
It didn't go the way you planned.
And you'll know you didn't beat me
when you look down and see I got an "I Heart ?" written on the back of my hand.
Written on the back of my hand.
An "I heart ?".
Written on the back of my hand...

I Heart ? by Taylor Swift

Isabelle Scott
Female|No Crush...for now.|20| Knight In Shinging Armor

Knight whinnied his reply and gazed beside the mare. Isabelle smiled as she watched him. He never got much attention from other horses. "Isabelle and that's Knight In Shining Armor, better known as Knight." She tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear, trying to ignore the self-consciousnesses that crept up on her. If she had to change for someone, then they weren't for her. "You ride English?" She asked, noticing the saddle on the mare. English seemed like a fun style to ride but she never learned it. Knight wasn't really built for leaping over tall jumps, although he could probably do it. Western was more for the pair.

Marcus Flinn
Male|No Crush...for now.|19|Mysterious Lady

"Ah, that explains it." Marcus chuckled lightly, he hadn't laughed fully in a long time, at the horses. Mystery nipped at Sylus playfully, then she bucked. She trotted in a circle, her tail high and fanned out behind her, showing off. Then she shook her mane and nuzzled Sylus's muzzle. Marcus smiled. "I think she likes him." He looked at November and narrowed his eyes, trying to read her. What did she really want from him?

(WB with Marcus.)

{Bentley - 19 - English}

She put her foot in the stirrup and grabbed the horn. She easily swung herself up and gathered the reins in her right hand. "Hmm my knowledge of western riding. Uhm.." She thought hard for a second. "One hand, no posting, neck rein." She blushed lightly. "Thats about it." She said, looking down at him. She reached down and rubbed Iggys neck gently then straightened back up to look at him.

{G.r.e.y.s.o.n // Ignus ~ Western}

Ignus turned his head to look up at Natalie, then at Greyson. The look he gave his owner was almost like, 'Really? She's going to ride me?' Grey smiled and patted Ig's neck before turning back to Natalie. "Perfect. Sounds like you know the basics pretty well. Let's go out to the Arena then." He told Natalie.

[SouthernComfort]

~Natalie~

{Bentley - 19 - English}

It felt weird for her legs to be so extended but she nudged Ig into a walk and followed Grey, making sure to keep the reins loose. It was kind of embarrasing riding western in english clothing but oh well. She smiled at the slow pace of Ig. It was much different from her fast paced and hyper thoroughbred. She also felt a little bit safer being closer to the ground and having a horn to hold onto, but she probably wouldn't use the horn.

{G.r.e.y.s.o.n // Ignus ~ Western}

"Take a few laps walking around the arena to get Ig used to your commands. I use a lot of leg and body cues, so that's what he's used to. But he responds just as well with reins." Greyson called, jumping onto a nearby fence post so he would be out of their ways, be able to teach Natalie, and see them. He took off his cowboy hat and ran a hand through his disheveled hair. It always seemed to be messed up, whether it was under a hat, or not. He smiled as he watched Natalie and Ignus. She was definitely a natural with horses. Dispite her English outfit, she looked comfortable in the Western style saddle.
