☞Aspen watched the girl, noting immediately the shift in tone. Confused, the blonde turned away from the stall to face Elizabeth, her brow furrowed in curiosity. Had she done something to offend her? The young woman was put off by the sudden harshness that the girl portrayed and she flinched back slightly, pulling in on herself. "No I-I didn't mean... Of course you know as much as I do about warmbloods, maybe even more..." the girl back tracked, not wanting to make things worse than she already had. Aspen frowned, afraid to make eye contact with this other woman, fearful of what sort of disgust or malice might be lurking in the depths. The pretty blonde frowned, watching the woman walk off. She glanced back at the stallion, her eyes murky and dark. "I'm sorry boy. I didn't mean to upset her." she murmured to the gray warmblood, throughly lost. Aspen had never been good at interacting with other people. In fact, she found it quite taxing as she constantly worried about her appearance and what others thought of her. Speaking to horses was just far more easier for the young woman as they couldn't judged and only met your gaze with deep, gentle, soulful eyes. You could tell a horse all of your problems and they would take the secret to their grave, never judging you. The blonde turned away from the stall, making sure the take a few steps closer to Chevy who still appeared to be talking to the new young man. Hopefully she hadn't witnessed that awkwardly painful exchange as Aspen couldn't risk losing two potential friends in the span of five minutes.

Amos winced apologetically when he saw how Cersei reacted to him calling for Moon. "Sorry man, didn't mean to throw you off back there. It's how I work with Moon whenever I get somewhere new. Need to make sure he will follow commands even in a new location." he stated as he patted Moon's neck. The stallion snorted and moved his head away when Cersei tried to bump him. He wasn't really interested in the finicky mare; aside from that, he was very obedient under the saddle and would stand easy until Amos told him otherwise.

Amos listened to Tyler answer his question about how long he had his horses. He chuckled at his explanation for her behavior then looked down at Moon. "Well, I've had him for.....nearly 5 years now. He was born as a twin but his mother couldn't produce enough milk for both of the foals. So, when my aunt and uncle found out about him, they bought him and gave him to me to raise. So, I guess I've had this guy since he was bottle fed really," he answered, stroking Moon's neck as he bobbed his head, knowing they were talking about him. Then when Tyler asked where they were going to ride, Amos thought for a moment then answered, "Let's go on the trails. I'll run Moon through some paces later today. The stable manager said they would be bringing in some cattle in a few days for us to practice cutting. But I can run through barrels later. You just do reining, right?"

♔Raising her head with a pin of her ears as the sounds of clipping met Rosaline's ears, the mare soon relaxed her head down, lip drooping again, allowing Juliette to once again turn her attention to the mare's hooves. She was planning on washing off the mare, but there had been an abnormal sound as the pair travelled over the concrete, and so Juliette had wanted to investigate it as soon as she could, and so here she was, hoofpick in hand in case she needed to dislodge a stray stone.
The hind leg she was working on seemed to be clear, but before she could allow the leg to drop and move to the other side of the dozing mare, a splitting whinny caused both mare and girl to jump. Rosaline raised her head with a frightened squeal, snapping her hoof down and unbalancing her human, who landed on the hard stone, knees smarting as she stood quickly to get out of the way of the mare, who was now swinging her hind end to get a better look at the horse who had whinnied.
Dusting off her knees, the initial adrenaline rush from the fright fading, Juliette turned, half-imagining the girl from the showjumping arena to be standing in front of her. To her surprise, it was someone else - another redhead, but this time with a well-built, beautifully coloured KWPN in-hand. "Gosh, sorry, I didn't hear you approaching!" Jules half-laughed, retrieving the hoof pick from where it had skittered across the floor. Looking to both girl and gelding, tugging gently at the lead-rope to prevent Rosaline from reaching too close to the gelding, she noticed that both of them were in far more need of the washrack than she and Rosa. "I hope you weren't waiting too long, we'll be out of here soon! Did you have a good session this morning?" Offering the girl a smile, she reached for the hose, running the water for a second before turning it onto the bay mare, turning her pelt a darker brown. "I'm Juliette, by the way. And this is Rosaline. She's really nosy, sorry," Once again pulling Rosa's muzzle away from the gelding, knowing full well that the mare would squeal and wiggle if she allowed them to be too close for too long, she looked to the pair. Their equipment didn't seem like either showjumping or dressage equipment, so, adding that deduction to the fact that the pair had a good workout, by the looks of things, they didn't seem to be competition of hers, not just yet, anyway, so Juliette smiled. "Were you on the cross country course?" She inquired, hoping that their conversation would mean that the girl wasn't annoyed at her for taking up a wash rack.

♗Waving his hand at the man's apology, letting him know that it was alright, Ty chuckled. He used the same signal to call his horses, and that's why Cersei reacted so suddenly - she thought that Amos was calling her, not his own horse. Squeezing with his inside leg in a silent attempt to move Cersei from the stallion at least a little bit so the frisky mare didn't try any dumb stunts to get them both killed, Ty listened to the man's words, nodding occasionally. Sweet. Ty had always wanted to a foal, to train them through their life, and was hit with an immediate pang of jealousy of the other man's relationship with his horse.
As though hearing his thoughts, Cersei tossed her head, demanding attention. He chuckled, leaning down to scratch her favourite spot. Dipping his head as the man spoke about the trails, he urged the mare forward into a slow, downward, lazy trot. Approaching the gate, the mare obediently posted up, well used to the practice of opening gates. Taking two quick steps backwards, Ty asked her to halt, gesturing for Amos and Moon to go through first before shutting the gate behind them.
The man's question then reached his ears, and he answered as he shut the gate behind them, an old habit from going on hacks from his old stables. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, we're just reining at the minute. I'd love to try all the other western practices, though. My old stables didn't have the equipment, it being a majority English barn, so I'm definitely going to steal the barrels from you someday to try." Shooting Amos a cheeky grin, he looked then to the front, taking in the view of the area that lay out in front of them. The academy was surely impressive, with large, white buildings and pristine, endless acres of arenas.
"Alri' Captain," He said as they passed the buildings in the direction of the trails, "Your choice. Shall we explore the mountain, the forest, the river or the lake?" Pointing in the approximate direction of each to punctuate his question, he looked to Amos with a small smile, as though to tell him that whatever he chose, Ty was ay-okay with it.

♖Finally settling the rest of his tack in the tackroom, Lee sighed, etching his name onto the final few cards, then looked into the locker. All of his things, shining and gleaming proudly, the dark leather blackened with his last cleaning.
Resting his hands on his hips, eyes scanning his own items, he was suddenly overcome with a sudden curiosity, and took the privacy of the quiet tackroom to peek through the open lockers, viewing the other tack that was in the small room, but not touching anything, because he knew that he'd hate for someone to touch his things while he was out. The tack in the room altered from beautifully ornamented Western Tack to simple but stunning English items of all sizes, shapes and colours. Simply judging from their tack, Lee knew that there would be lots of different personalities and horses here.
Chuckling softly, he returned to his own locker, grabbing one of his halters and his grooming kit and returning out into the aisle. There were many people milling around, but a feeling of overwhelming overcame the man, and so he ducked into Nagini's stall without a word. There were so many new faces, so much new to take it, it crashed over him like a wave and, rather than approach them, he longed for the familiar.
The Hackney mare watched him approach with bright eyes, ready for some attention after their long commute. Slipping a mint into his palm and offering it to her in a way that neither of his other two would notice, the man haltered up his mare, her bright magenta nylon halter a striking contrast to both her dark coat and white facial markings. He glanced out to the crossties, but decided that being within her stall would be more calming. Pulling out a mane comb, the man reached his long fingers up to the mare's dark mane, beginning to gently tease out any tangles. The mare relaxed into his touch, her lip soon drooping and eyelids growing heavy. The man chuckled softly, feeling a sense of relaxation wash over himself too.

Lucy finshed brushing down the massive dappled gray gelding. She then set the brush back in the grooming kit. She grabbed her purple schooling helmet and buckled it on. Then she took the saddle she used for schooling for the big gelding off the rack. She put it on his back. She tightened it down carefully,she didn't feel like falling off. She got up into the trailer and pulled out his bridle. She slipped the bit into his mouth. She lead him across to the jumping ring. she mounted and started to warm him up on the rail.

""Thank you for driving out here with me, It was a lot of help since I can't drive." He was accompanied by his brothers this trip. His parents had need to stay on the ranch because it was calving season. Eagle and Roxie peered over the seat form between Caleb and Joey. The border collie cattle dog went every where her boys went. She loved both of the two younger boys as much as a dog normally loved there sole handler. She had also become Eagles buddy. Jacob knew the two dogs would miss each other. He was worried that Eagle would hate being the only dog around for the most part. When he wasn't working he loved to play chase or tug with another dog.

"Its not problem." Dakota said."next time I'll drive myself I know it.. My legs are getting stronger every day. Hopefully I'll get to ride too.""I hope so." Joey said as he rubbed Eagle's back. Dakota brought the truck to a stop in front of the barn."I don't thing I need the chair right away. He said. He could walk just not for long but he knew now was a good time to try it."Ok, That means Eagle gets to go right to work." Caleb said as he fixed the dogs vest and clipped on leashes.

Dakota was the first one out of the truck. He went around and opened the door for Jacob. Then the dog leapt out of the track and go into place near his boy ready to help him out. Jacob nodded and caught the handle on the harness."Steady." He said as he blanced with the handle and the track. He used the dog to held him stand and the cane.

Head snapping up in surprise, Elizabeth jumped at the girl's voice. She looked up, seeing a blonde-haired girl about her age. "M-me? Oh. Uh, yeah. Yeah." She said, slowly comprehending the girl's words, stuttering awkwardly. She was having quite a rough first day. "Your, um, lead rope is quite p-pretty." Eliza said shyly, quietly admiring the girl's lead rope. The purple was gorgeous as it faded to a lighter shade. Tucking away the supplies, she turned, looking up to face the girl. Nervous butterflies fluttered around her stomach. Conversations had been hard today, like any day, and especially with strangers she didn't know. Elizabeth thought it was a bit too awkward to just stand there. Say something! Her mind told her sternly. The first thing that came to mind was introductions. Introducing herself was easy, right? Nope. But the redhead forced herself to say something, not just stand stock-still like a deer in headlights. "I'm E-Elizabeth." She told the girl, voice soft and quiet. What if this girl thought her name was stupid? Or common? That she was just another Elizabeth..

As they pulled up the driveway to their new home for both them and their horses, Graysen looked out over the pastures and arenas and then let her eyes fall on the beautiful barn. Much more classy and pretty than anything that they'd ever been in before.
"Hey," she began and turned to speak to her brother, "do you think we'll be the only rodeo brats here? I mean, this looks like a pretty uppity place, not really a place you'd find many of us." She said quietly and looked at her brother. Elijah, who was more concerned with keeping attention on slowly pulling their truck and trailer safely up the driveway, grunted at her and shrugged his shoulders. When Elijah slowed to a stop near the barn and put the truck in park, Graysen jumped out of the truck and walked quickly back to the man door of the trailer. When she swung the door open she was greeted by the friendly, excited nickering of their four horses. "Hey babies,"
She said in a happy high pitched tone. She stepped back to look around for her brother, then when she spotted him she called over, "We should find somebody who knows where to go and what to do."

At Graysen's idea to look for help, Elijah gave a quick nod, "Yeah probably," he agreed. He turned to look at the big barn and then gave a nod toward it, "I'd assume that's probably a good place to start looking." Before waiting for a reply from his sister he began walking toward the barn. Hurried footsteps could be heard behind him as his sister jogged to catch up, then her voice right beside him, "Eli," she said more quietly this time, "what if we're the only rodeo people, what if nobody likes us becau-"
He waved his hand at her to silence her. "Would you relax? You're acting like a 4 year old on their first day of kindergarten."
Elijah said in a sort of disgusted voice. He expected more of his sister. They were raised tough, and now suddenly as soon as they're away from a rodeo dominated barn she was acting like a pansy. Once he stepped in the barn, he called down the isle,
"Hello?" Elijah stood and looked around while his sister slowly wandered down the isle, peering into the first stall on the right.

Amos chuckled as he listened to Tyler talk about how he wanted to try the different disciplines. He had no problem with the other male giving barrel racing a shot; he just hoped that Tyler knew he needed training for cutting. You couldn't just ride in and expect to know what to do. That was asking to get hurt. His attention was brought back to reality when they neared the gate. He dipped his head to Tyler when they opened it and he nudged Moon through the entrance. He had taught Moon long ago how to react and help open a gate without Amos having to dismount; he was fine letting someone else do it but he would do it when they returned to the stables.

Once Tyler asked where he wanted to go, Amos took a moment to look over everything. He looked up towards the mountains then down at the forest. "Let's do the forest and head towards the river. I think that'll keep us occupied for a while. Maybe we can do the mountain another time. What do you think, Moon?" Amos asked, looking down at the stallion. Moon tossed his head, nodding in agreement and pawing the ground eagerly. "Alright, forest it is then. You good with that Tyler?" Amos asked, holding Moon back as the stallion danced a little in place, eager to get going.

Dipping her head briefly to acknowledge, Elizabeth felt a little less nervous talking to this girl. Talk sure seemed to come faster when she was around Farah. "Ah. Yes, this barn is bigger than what I'm used to." The next question caught Elizabeth a little off guard. It seemed that no one really asked much about where people were from. Or not yet, anyways. Mostly people asked about horses and riding gear. "Oh. Me? I'm from England. My accent I've kind of been hiding. But really I sound like this." Elizabeth had been trying to talk like the Americans around her - she didn't want to seem out of place with her English accent. But meeting this girl made Elizabeth open up a little bit. "Are you from around here? Or a different country?" The redhead tilted her head at the blonde girl. Maybe Farah was from another country? Hm...
