Location: outdoor dressage arena with Flynn

Saoirse arrived in the dressage arena Flynn look curiously around the large vast arena tense with excitement as they waited for Casey and Beau Flynn sniffed the air she liked other horses but had not ridden much with them as most of Saoirse's training had been alone out at Ms. O' Malley's remote farm just outside county cavin she looked up as she heard approaching hoof steps

|| Casey | 19 F | Heading to Dressage Ring ||

Casey lead Beau to the dressage ring, and through the gate, closing it behind them. Beau looked curiously at the mare, pulling on his reins a little bit as he tossed his head. Casey ignored his single protest and lead him to the quarterline of the ring, checked the girth again and then mounted from the ground in one swift motion, settling herself gently in the saddle, "He seems curious," she laughed, "I don't think he's gotten to work with many mares. Mostly stallions and geldings back on the farm." Beau kept his eyes on the mare as Casey gave him a gentle squeeze with her calves, asking him to walk on. She would walk him around a couple of laps before anything else, he could probably use a good long warm up.

Saoirse smiled as Flynn clearly interested in the stallion's appearance watched intently she gave a squeeze with her inside leg starting a steady walk and pushing her to the fence Flynn listened only a little distracted by the appearance of the stallion she began to lengthen her strides working her muscles that were still probably tight from the trailer ride and busy morning honestly Flynn hasn't worked with many stallions either she was raised around mostly mares and geldings but she also hasn't ridden with many other horses before she said as Flynn tilted her head back to look at the other horse

Spencer, a little surprised by the horse’s sudden burst, called out to her again in a calmer voice. “Hey no worries. You alright?” He layed the reins over Cobalt’s neck and walked toward them, but made sure to give the horse a little extra room. The palomino perked his ears at the new horse and wanted to reach out to sniff him, but Spencer corrected him with a light tug on the reins. “Spencer Ellington.” He said “I’d shake your hand but I can’t reach you.” He joked with a smile.

|| Alex | 21 M | Trail ride with Ly ||

Alex's jaw dropped in surprise. It took him a moment to decide what to do but then he gave Oppie a quick nudge with his heels and gave him his head. Oppie shot after the larger horse with quick short strides, as if chasing down a separated cow back on the farm. Oppie knew what he was doing, what Alex had asked him to do, and he did it. It took him a few moments to gain on the larger horse, but Oppie was trained for speed and his burst-y short strides soon brought them in line with Storm and Ly. He wished Ly would stop using the crop, it only seemed to make the situation worse, and sent mixed signals. "Hold on!" he shouted. He gave Oppie another nudge forward, putting all his rein in one hand and leaning them his neck, he kept the other free, ready to grab Ly in case she tumbled, or Storm in case he swerved into the bush. He wasn't sure how this would go over, but he urged Oppie to cut Storm off, forcing him to either stop or turn, he just hoped the horse chose stop as opposed to turn.

➸ Storm slid to a stop, plunging up and down, tossing his head. He turned and was about to bolt off - not yet ready to end his free for all - but Ly drew her hands back sharply, the bit pulling on his mouth. He backed up quickly, tail flicking, ears back. He pranced in small circles and in place, angry. She seemed to somewhat calm him down, an turned away to wipe the tears from her eyes. You stupid rat, She thought, frustrated. "That's it. We're going back. Time for a lesson. Ly said, holding the crop in her white knuckled hands. "I thought you learned this when I got you, Smoke." She breathed. "Okay, let's go Alex. I think i'm ready to leave." No matter how hard she tried, the shakiness in her voice remained. She hated herself. How could she have let this happen? She breathed out, furious and embarrassed, a storm of emotions that shone in her eyes. Ly turned Smoke away with a sharp tug, throwing his head up, but complying. "I guess I should thank you, Alex..." She paused. "So thanks." She didn't even turn around.

Nolan, a little embarrassed, chuckled and replied"I am good, this guy just need to get some energy out. But it is nice to meet you Spencer, I am Nolan. Nolan Grace."She smiled softly and watched Abendago toss his head up and down playing with the reigns.

Spencer felt slightly giddy as he talked to her, thinking she was pretty. He looked down with a smile and back up again. “Well you don’t look like much of a western gal to me, but you’re welcome to join us. I don’t think Kody would mind.” He said, looking back at his new friend. Cobalt reached out again toward Nolan’s horse, more careful this time. Spencer let him, but still kept a close eye on him.

|| Casey | 19 F | Wandering with Saoirse ||

Casey laughed, “Oh great, no one knows what they’re doing.” She joked. After walking 3 laps she tapped Beau with her heals asking for a slow trot. She proceeded to ask him for a long stride. She posted to match his gait, finding it more difficult than usual since she’d barely ridden the last couple weeks. She did a lap, finally finding her rhythm and then asked him for a short stride, again matching his rhythm. She let him ease back into a walk after another lap and glanced at Saoirse, “What should we do?” She asked, sort of oblivious. Did they just take turns? Or play follow the leader? She only ever worked in a ring alone, usually just asking Beau to move how she wished, making it up as she went. She never even really practiced routines unless they were preparing for something specific. Likely one of her flaws.

|| Alex | 21 M | Heading out for a trail ride with Tyler ||

Alex sighed in relief as Ly’s horse came to a halt and she got him under control. Crisis Averted. Alex frowned when she threatened the horse with a lesson. He wasn’t sure what that was supposed to mean. He turned Oppie to follow Ly as she walked Storm away, nudging him into a trot to catch up. He eased him back to a walk once he was Side by Side again, “I don’t think he meant to startle you...” Alex tried to soften the situation. He looked across at her as they walked, “He is still young yea? I think he just needs to learn mutual respect. You can not expect him to be perfect, he did not come from a cookie cutter after all.” He teased, speaking gently, his hint of cowboy accent peaking through. He was hoping to lighten the mood. He remembered the years he spent training Oppie, boy what a hassle. He’s still a hassle for any other handler, but you can’t even tell it’s the same horse when it’s Alex handling him.

Kody chuckled. "Yeah, me too," he said, turning his attention to a young woman standing by the arena with her horse. He gave her a small friendly wave, and watched as her horse began to act up and reared up, trying to throw off his rider. When Spencer introduced himself, he did the same. "I'm Kody Harrison, and this here is Kerosene,"
he introduced himself, patting the sweaty gray mare. He watched as Spencer talked to the girl and then looked down. It was obvious to anyone with an eye and half a brain he was liking this girl, and Kody had to stifle down a laugh, before turning over to her. "Yeah sure, you can join us. We've got plenty of calves to cut," he said.

Nolan smiled and looked down at the ground.”I don’t know the least bit about cutting calves... I think I’m better off just watching for now.”She began to stroke Abendago and look around the arena.”This place is beautiful.”She commented looking at the tall ceilings.
