Ɖαʏвяɛακ Riding Retreat - Horse/Rider - Open

[Plaza Cafe]

Eliza braided the mare’s mane and tail with quick, nimble fingers. With a soft sigh she rubbed the mare’s shoulder before walking to her head. “Oh pretty girl.” She murmured, cupping the mare’s chin. Diva’s ears were both forward, a nice change to the mare’s moody disposition. Eliza knew Diva loved her, even though she didn’t always show it. Hearing Rusheon’s voice she snapped her head in his direction and gave a soft smile. “Sure, just give me a quick second.” Eliza darted into the tack room and gathered her tack. The incident this morning made her decided to grab her saddle, she didn’t want to fall off again. Eliza placed the grey saddle pad gently on the mare’s back and followed it with her half pad and saddle. Eliza quickly cinched up the girth and was greeted by a pin of the ears and a stamp of a hoof. “Knock it off, please.” Eliza hissed to her mare as she moved to her head and slipped the bridle over her mouth. Eliza quick fingers she made work of the buckles and slipped the reins over Diva’s head. Eliza grabbed the black helmet from the straw of the stall and led the Haflinger mare from the stall. “Ready.” She said with a smile.



“Hey don’t laugh at me.” Noah muttered when he caught Reinette’s smirk and bitten lip. Noah flashed her a quick smile and gathered his reins and bearings again. “Well that’s good. I don’t think I could handle a lot of fallen logs. Give me a saddle and sure, but not bareback.” He laughed ruefully. Lumos bobbed his head continuously and bumped into Abe’s sturdy body. “Hey!” Noah scolded Lumos as he brushed up against Reinette. Noah caught her blush and his own cheeks burned pink. “Silly horse.” He mocked and jiggled his reins as a punishment. Noah gave Reinette’s profile a small grin. “Ready?” He asked, a soft smile on his face.

"Why don't you back off?!" Laika suddenly snapped.When it came to Scar...That was her baby.She scowled at the boy,obviously not in his favor now."Don't you say a word about Scar unless you actually get to know him.And by the looks of what You're mare looks like....You should get your own reality check." She angrily stated,Then turned away from him to focus on Scar.

xX:SCAR:Xx

He looked to the mare across the stall from him,Perking his ears up.He let out a soft neigh,as if saying hello.He then turned his head to look at Laika,bending his neck to gently nuzzle her red hair with his soft upper lip.

Ash smiled softly. "I read a lot. I'm normally in Keeva's stall reading when I'm not out riding or playing with her and Nessa. But mostly I ride or just spend time with Keeva and Nessa. I never had very many friends. Well, I did when I was little, but in my teen years I didn't really have any. All I had was Keeva and Nessa. Maybe one or two people I talked to at school. So yeah, I'm used to being alone most of the time," she sat up and guided Keeva with her legs so they were by the pasture. Swinging her leg over, she dismounted and took her mares halter. The mare shook out her mane and nudged her girl before stepping out into the pasture. Keeva stood patiently waiting to see if Roulette was going to join her. Ashton looked up at the sound of an excited bark. Bounding toward them was her big dog. "Nessa! There you are," she ruffled the dogs ears and examined her for any injuries. Nothing. Ash looked back at Marcus with a smile. "Well, I guess she came back here," she said, her hand still on the dog's head.

Metin looked around his room then closed his eyes. He continued singing and thinking about what all had happened. Had he rushed things a little? He wasn't sure. Finally, he fell asleep, not even bothering to turn out the light.

Marcus listened quietly as Ash told him about her hobbies. "I know what you mean. I had a lot of friends in a previous life, now it's just Roulette. But I'm okay with that. A horse is better than a person a lot of times." He ran his hand along her neck and dismounted. She nuzzled him as he took off her halter and stepped out of the way. Roulette nickered and trotted into the pasture and to Keeva. Marcus watched the two mares for a moment, then turned around when Ash exclaimed. He smiled at the large dog and patted her back. "She's a smart dog." He praised her.

Reinette smiled to herself as Abe and Lumos walked together. She looked back over at Noah and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." She taped Abe's sides and he went into a lope. They went a few feet and she saw the end of the trail, along with glimpses of the white fences of the farm. "There's a small tree down just before the end of the trail, nothing major." She called back to Noah to warn him. Then she tightened her grip on the reins and lined Abe up with the jump. He hopped over it easily and slowed to a halt as he left the treeline. The wind was blowing harder out here and Reinette closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze on her face, a hint of a smile on her lips.

Harold released Knight into the pasture with Spartan and the other stable horses. He ran his fingers through his hair then walked back to the stable to finish up his chores.

Ashton smiled. "Yeah, she is," she leans against the fence and watches her mare carefully. Keeva was normally so aggressive. "She usually so aggressive toward other horses," Ash tells Marcus slowly, wondering if Keeva had finally made a friend. The mare snorted and flicked her ears toward Roulette and stepped forward to meet the other mare near the fence. The Mustang lowered her head slowly and sniffed at the scratches on Roulette's leg. The mare nickered softly, wondering if her companion was hurt. It was the first time she felt safe with another horse since her wild herd. Yes, the mare still remembered it. She missed the wild sometimes, but would never leave her human now. She snorted softly and lifted her head to groom Roulette softly.

Ashton smiled as she watched her mare. She glanced at Marcus and her mind fluttered.

Armada

She finally leaned back a little,no longer pushing the mare for speed but allowing her to continue at her own pace.Estrada slowed into a brisk trot,her movements only a little jolting to her rider.Army let her hands fall from the horse's mane and rested them at the base of her neck,Essie's prickly coat a familiar feeling on her palms.The feeling on cool wind on her face lingered long after the duo had slowed down,and Army's blonde hair was wind-blown.She was thankful she did not have to work today as they had unknowingly ridden through the night and into a new day.No longer was there a clearly distinguishable trail ahead,only the brief snippets of a path taken by deer and other creatures.

Rusheon

Rush was unsure if he should feel pleased or not about her response,considering the awkward conversation the two had been through.Without talking he walked over to the tack room and quickly collected the necessary items.Creek's impatient snorts could be heard down the aisle and hastened him so much that he tripped over the oblivious Colt."Dang dog" he muttered,regaining his precarious balance while the dog laid back down.Upon returning to his stallion's side,Rush began the task of tacking the irritable Arabian up.Carefully he settled a black saddle pad on his back,and then a worn and weathered Western style saddle on top of that.Creek Water protested with a slight pin of the right ear,but was otherwise placid to the objects now weighing down on him.Rush went into the process of tightening the straps and girth,and was done in a more timely manner than usual.Now,he was left with the task of getting the bridle on.The bridle itself was not a problem,it was just getting the stallion to open his mouth and accept the bit.Gently he pushed the bit against the horse's lips,forcing him to open his mouth.Easily now he slipped the rest of the bridle over the horses head and secured it on,untying the lead rope from around the Arab's neck and now holding him still with the reins."Me too."
