"It sounds wonderful" he said dreamily while helping her with everything he could "We actually have a water fall back on the island, it's nothing much but it's a good bathing spot" he said "I was in the rain forest once, it's beautiful there" He said distantly his thoughts drifting away before he snapped himself back to reality

Rhys stood in awe of the stables for a moment. "Its worlds away from back, isn't it, girl" He spoke in a soft tone to his moody mare who was clattering her hooves of the concrete that say before the thick, soft bed.
He turned around, anxious of all the people he'd have to meet, but he pushed the thought back, put on a tough face, and started towards his trailer where he could hear Atticus. The flea bitten grey's only friend was Estrella,and ever she only tolerated him. He had a suspicious that he was hand reared, or somehow kept away from other horses, as he never quite fit into the herd, no matter how hard he tried. He loved company. He saw people chatting in the driveway and thought about how he'd handle the friendly chit chat. As he walked into the trailer to lead Atticus out he began to relax a bit more, partially due to all the decrease of adrenaline after dealing with Estrella, plus the slow down of the caffeine rush. He walked along, more casually this time as he lead Atticus to his Stall, He'd turn him out soon with Estrella, but he wasn't too sure of the pastures system so held back. He'd probably have to ask someone....or he could handle it himself. He weighted out the pros and cons and found no definitive conclusion. He led the gelding to his stall, taking off the padded teal halter and letting the gelding find his way in, taking off his travel ware (completely forgot about taking of Estrella's, oh well, lets imagine he did) before leaving the stall. he leaned on the door for a bit before turning around to scout out where the tack room was. It was moments like these where he was glad to have synthetic tack because hauling his saddles all the way to the tack room was not something he was looking forward too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[ male ] [ cowboy ] [xx]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxAxel took a step back from Cowboy, rubbing the paint’s nose softly with the palm of his hand before debating on his next steps, he did want to meet some other people and familiarise himself with some of the faces here so he figured that his next step would be meeting some of the other riders here. A quick glance around the barn told him that most of the people here seemed to already be occupied with something so he decided to try somewhere else. After giving a tip of his hat to chase; who had occupied herself with sorting out some food for her two horses, he left the stallion’s barn.

With his hands dug into his pocket he poked his head into the mare’s barn, his gaze quickly landed on another male who had just gotten up from leaning on a stall and seemed to be simply looking around. Axel wandered in, “oh heya, you new around here too?”He asked as he caught up with the rider, his tone soft as he wanted to advoid spooking any of the horses in their stalls.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[ female ] [ shiro, axel, riot, prince ] [xx]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxChase huffed as she looked at Riot. The stallion had been playing up for a good few minutes upon arriving. This behaviour for Riot was pretty much everyday behaviour but if Chase wanted to be able to get anywhere with him he'd have to swallow his dignity. Her obident canine companion stayed near her, though at a far enough distance to be out of Riot’s way if the large stallion decided to play up. Chase offered a small smile to her loyal dog, shiro, who had seemed to settled in so far - though they had only just arrived to be fair.

Taking a deep breath she sighed, looking back up at the large equine. The funny thing was that she hadn’t even been planning on getting him, let alone bringing him to palmleaf. Chase had to admit, prince was a much easier horse to get on with, but Riot did have some good qualities beneath the rarther harsh exterior - she just had to figure out a way to get through to the stubborn horse.

A rare grin broke out on Chase’s face for a few seconds as Riot complied to the her request and started walking. "stubborn animal." She chuckled. Chase grinned in triumph as Riot started walking behind her, only needing a couple of tugs on the rope to encourage him. Riot was a bit intimidating as he did stand tall at 18.2 hh, and he wasn't exactly a gentle giant but she did trust him, well, for the most part anyway. They did have a few mishaps when she first got him, and he wasn't too good around other people but she was overall proud of how much he had improved.

The sound of his hooves tapping against the concrete alerted her to the fact she was by the barn already. Clicking her tounge softly she led him into his stall, turning him around before taking the headcollar off, earning an appreciative snort from the stallion. Shaking her head she turned and closed the stall door, double checking that it was bolted before heading over to her gelding, Prince. The horse hung his head over the stall door and nudged her face with his nose, causing Chase to smile slightly. "hey kiddo, miss me?" She asked rhetorically. Peering over the stall door she noticed his feed bucket was completely empty "you were hungry eh?".

As Rhys stood, observing the grand place he was in, still believing i to be a dream of sorts. He heard footsteps, mostly assuming that is was somebody coming in to see their horse, but then he heard a soft voice pipe up. Rhys turned to the man who had spoken. He turn to the stall stranger, but quickly glancing around the barn to see if there was anyone else he could be speaking to, he probably looked like a fool doing so. He blushed slightly as he was caught off guard, he shook his sleeves slightly to cover his hands and looked up to him, drifting in and out of eye contact. "em... yeah" he half smiled, awkwardly as always. He searched for something to say, but before he could get any words out, Atticus head butted his back, moving him aside to greet the new person. "Oh, this is Atticus... em... sorry about him... he just loves attention" a real smile curled his lips for a heartbeat, he could always count on Atti to make a good first impression!

Leo smiled slightly when the colt didn't immediately reject him, reaching his hand out slowly to stroke the horses nose. "Well if she can produce colts like this she must be quite the mare," with his other hand he pushed floppy black hair from his face, the smile still ever present on his face. Around horses he just couldn't help but be in a state of eternal happiness, whether it was a hard gallop around a cross country course, mucking out a stall or being throw by his chestnut devil, horses were easily his happy place. The other males cold tone didn't scare or surprise the tall Italian, he knew he often came off quite abrasive and bold and that had a tendency to annoy or scare people, or it could just be his personality. Either way judging by his choice of horse breed it wasn't hard to guess this man was most likely a dressage rider, if the discipline was anything to go by the man next to him was likely to be level-headed and thoughtful, but that was just a stereotype. It was also the opposite of himself. "Logan huh? Nice name," the shorter male was undeniably good looking and Leo was known for having a flirtatious personality"I look forward to seeing you ride," he winked at the man and patted the young colt once more before making his way back to his own horses stall.

Had it not been for the fact that Theron was clearly curious and friendly towards Leo, then Logan might have warned the other male to stay away. But since the Friesian hadn't backed away - not that he likely would have anyway - Logan decided to stay quiet on that front. He'd stopped stroking Theron's face and neck, while Leo was stroking his nose, since he didn't want the colt to feel overwhelmed.
Still bristled, Logan replied, "Yes. She is. Though I'm not looking to breed her any time soon. Even if I was, it'd be with another Friesian anyway." Perhaps the warning, of sorts, was not necessary, but he didn't want there to be any ideas. He would definitely be waiting until Theron was broken in before even considering putting Jetstar into foal again.
Somehow, it seemed that Leo was still looking quite cheerful, and not at all put off by his cold responses. Usually, most people tended to get the cue to leave without more than a few other words. Logan attempted, and failed, to suppress a tint of pink rising up his neck and cheeks. "Yeah, yeah..." he muttered, watching as Leo walked away, his attention only going back towards Theron when the colt pushed his head against Logan, for more attention.

Leo had just reached the stall of his grey gelding Eddy, he nickered a greeting and the rider immediately reached to scratch the sweet spot under his jaw, the horse whinnied and pushed his head further into his hands. The young man laughed, casually nudging his horse to one side before rubbing his ears affectionately, Eddy was his first horse and whilst the gelding didn't have the fire that Leo usually looked for in his horses it would be hard for anyone to deny the bond shared between them. The two always clicked and the calm, patient horse inspired the young man to be as relaxed and trusting whenever he was riding him. He shot a glance at the other male in the stables, Logan, before looking back at his horse. With a small smirk he called out to him "Logan," he'd met the others young colt, it was only polite to introduce him to his own horses, team work was important to him and knowing your teammates fell under that. Especially when he remembered the small blush that had come to his cheeks before he left, "do you want to meet Eddy and Sol?" He gestured to the grey infront of him, who casually nuzzled his pockets for treats, on the opposite side of the stall Sol was neighing angrily and stamping his back legs on the concrete floor.

It seemed to him that Theron had settled in better now, though he could still tell that the colt was a little nervous still. Or maybe he was only pretending so that Logan would keep giving him attention - that much was likely as well, even if only to a small extent. Yes, a walk around would definitely be beneficial, he was sure. And maybe he'd take Jetstar as well, to give her some exercise as well. The two were excellent on lead ropes together, of course. And maybe he'd be able to avoid anyone else. Especially anyone that seemed to be too positive or warm.
As if on cue, Logan heard Leo call over to him, and offer him the chance to meet his horses. Admittedly, Logan was curious to see the other horses. Perhaps not the chestnut that was stamping, though. "Fine..." he responded after a moment, somewhat reluctantly, and he walked over - Theron letting out a snort of protest, and watched as Logan walked off, resting his head on the stable door, making sure that his owner was still in sight.

Leo grinned when the other male agreed to his request despite being able to hear the reluctance in his voice, he'd always been an effervescent, sticky kind of person and it was usually his determination and charming personality that won people over; mainly the determination part. "This is Eddy, he's a pretty easy going guy aren't you boy?" the young man smiled at his horse, rubbing his cheek happily, "he loves everything and everyone. He's always had a weird thing about gates though, unless you're next to him he wont go through them," even when talking about the horses weak points the boy never lost the happiness on his face. He turned and leaned against the geldings stall, ignoring the few nudges the horse gave him, he nodded at the temperamental horse across from them. "That ones Sol, I wouldn't recommend getting to close to him, he admired the horses muscular form as he stomped and whinnied "he's one of those horses where only I can ride him, and I can't even do that so that should explain why not to touch him," he laughed happily, to him the fire in his horse showed passion and energy but most of all it showed a challenge. When working together they brought out the best in one another, yet this was incredibly rare and most riding sessions ended with a frustrated Leo and numerous butchered dressage moves.

Once he was close enough, Logan stood with his arms folded, and a deadpan expression, in an attempt to appear as uninterested as possible. He glanced towards the grey, Eddy, his hand twitching for a moment, for he was tempted to reach a hand out towards the gelding to let him sniff, though he decided otherwise. Then, he turned towards the other horse that was pointed out, Sol.
Logan silently scoffed at the words. He figured that anyone could ride a temperamental, wild horse - it would just take patience and understanding and care. Not that he would want to give it a go anyway. He much preferred Friesians, but he did have to admit that both Eddy and Sol were beautiful horses.
"Well, I can tell Sol will be a joy for Theron to share a barn with..." Logan commented, somewhat sarcastically. He could imagine the chestnut making noise and disturbing the other horses nearly all day.
Then, he took a step back, and hesitated, before deciding to say - though he was not sure why, "I'm going to take Theron out. Give him a walk. Jetstar as well. To help them settle, or whatever."
