olympia went to the barn to see how wildfire and thrillride were settling in. thrillride nuzzled olympia when she reached her stall. the barn smelt good, of hay and leather. she ran her fingers along thrillride's black and white forelock. she gave her a sugarcane before walking down the asle to wildfire's stall, who was pacing. she rubbed his neck, giving him a sugarcube. "bye, wildfire, thrillride!" she called as she walked into the meeting room.

Daniela had awoken at five a.m. in the morning to get ready for the day. She had unloaded her horses late the night before and it had been hard to leave them. Her heart clenched at the thought of them being alone in a strange place at night where they had no idea what surrounded them outside. But, she had left them to get some sleep before this morning.
The young woman rushed out of her truck to go and check on her beloved horses. She hurried down the isle of the barn until a familiar nicker hit her ears. she smiled as she saw her giant Shire stallion hang his head out of his stall. "Good morning, Cloud," she called to him, stopping in front of his stall to give him a peppermint. She had kept track of each of her horses' favorite treats and his was peppermints. She slowly moved on to the next stall, calling softly to the pretty mare inside. In her hand, Danny held half of a plum without the pit. Her slender Thoroughbred mare nickered a greeting and gently took the fruit from her owner's hand. Danny wiped the juices off her hand onto her breeches and then stroked Faith's nose softly. Finally, she greeted her lovely gelding. The big Percheron greeted her by sticking his head out of his stall and nudging Danny gently. "Hello to you too, big guy," she smiled as she held out a slice of carrot for the flea bitten grey. The gelding was very gentle in taking it, barely even touching his mouth to Danny's palm.
After saying good morning to her horses, Danny headed into the meeting room. Her eyes searched for her old friend who was supposed to be here, but Felipe was not there yet it seemed.

Felipe Arquilla // Dressage & eventing // Luz // Barn meeting

Felipe leads Luz into the stall and slips off the bridle before untacking his horse the rest of the way, putting all of his tack away as efficiently as he can. His stallion will get turned out later, but for now he's munching on his grain as Felipe heads to the office and walks in, surprised at the number of people here. He hadn't realized that the meeting would be large-scale, figuring it was about something small like a horse was switching fields or a change in how much feed someone was getting. As he sits down he realizes this is probably about the big summer shows... things are going to start getting hectic.

As soon as Danny saw Felipe, she smiled and waved slightly. He was the only one she knew here and she felt less nervous now that he was there. She got up form her spot and moved to sit beside him. "Long time no see," she smiled brightly, her Brazilian accent obvious. She suspected Felipe's gorgeous stallion was somewhere in the barn as well. She had loved watching the horse move in Spain and was excited to watch her friend and his horse here in America.

Felipe's eyes light up when he sees Danny and he leans over and hugs her, kissing her on her cheeks, before leaning back and exclaiming, "Danny! Olá! It's amazing to see you again." He says with a smile, throwing in the portugese word for hello, one of many that she taught him. "How are your horses? They all come with you?" He asks as he lean back in his chair. Danny had said she would be coming, but it didn't really sink in until now when he saw her.

Sara turned to the gathered rider’s she know in the fancy club room at Red dawn the same meeting was taking place. “Good morning, I see everyone is here. Now as you know we have made it to the summer show season. That year we have something a little different planned.”
The twin’s sat next to their sister. They where quit and clam for them. Todd had entered the room after the last student and had joined his bosses at the desk. Lynn had been near to the middle.

Danny laughed softly, hugging him back and smiling brighter as she nodded. "Sim, all three. You haven't met Cloud yet. Papai got him for me on my birthday last year. Faith and Soul are wonderful, como sempre. I think Faith missed Luz, though. She really fancied him when we were in Spain," she replied to his question, speaking partly in Portuguese out of habit. Danny laughed softly, thinking back at how her Thoroughbred mare had acted around Felipe's gorgeous stallion. "How is Luz these days?" she asked in return, smiling brightly.

[italic words are just words in Portuguese, as Danny if from Brazil is speaks partially in her language and partially in English]

Felipe smiles as she talks about her horses and he goes to answer, enthusiastic as he always is when talking about Luz, but cuts himself off because the meeting is starting. "Depois, Danny, bom te ver." Felipe says, not minding the Portuguese. He throws in some Spanish day to day and knows how nice it is when someone else understands. With one last smile at his old friend he turns to the front of the room to hear the meeting. "Verano será buena." He thinks to himself.

Dawn, Tom, Sara H. and Blake opened the door form the office to the club room and stepped inside.
Dawn stayed stranding while the other sat, “As you know it’s time for the summer show season, River Leaper and us have come up with a special plan. A tournament between the two stables with events being held at the show grounds every week or every other week. All of you are going to need to compete because of our low number of riders.”

Andrew stands up to speak now, “A tournament between Red Dawn and Us. With events being held at the show grounds every week or every other week. We hope you all will ride at each event. Since Red Dawn has few riders at this time only 5 scores will count.”

Chrissy Hawthorn/17/River Leaper/Location: Barn - meeting/Tags; Everyone at the Meeting

Chrissy listened to what Sara and Adrew had to say. 'We're competing against Red Dawn this year? This should be interesting,' she thought, smiling. Chrissy continued to fix her boot that was bothering her as she heard Pearl let out a loud whinny. Chrissy quickly turned her head to the stalls and shot her hand up. Sorry Andrew, but can I go check on my horse real quick?" she asked, impatiently.
