A truck and trailer drove in as Sam walked out of the house. SHe didn't talk to teh driver, just went to teh back and opened the doors. A small filly laid shivering on teh floor and Sam picked her up, cooing to her softly. The filly was skinny and easy to lift so Sam took her in while the driver brought the others out, avoiding being bit by the paint stallion and just being plain careful with the rig boyy. Both were placed in paddocks, awaiting Sam's trained eye.

I exitted the bunkhouse, pulling the door closed behind me. I didn't worry about locking it, I doubted anyone around here would try to steal anything. I turned towards the barn, tan jodhpurs hugged my slender legs snuggly. I wore my knee high boots of course and a simple hunter green polo. Around my neck hung a silver chain necklace, a hollow, silver heart was threaded on the chain. I wore this necklace nearly everyday, no matter where I was. As I passed the paddocks I noticed two new stallions, stopping to watch them. I leaned on the rail, studying each of the fine horses. I glanced over my shoulder, wondering where everyone else was. But I didn't mind being alone sometimes. My gaze shifted back to the new arrivals, wondering why they were here.

The paint stallion squeled angerily, his hooves cutting the air. His mane snapped at teh still air as his hooves tore into teh soft dirt. Unhappy he was. He wanted to be free of this cage, this pen. His sides were flecked with scars and a scar ran down his cheek where a man whipped him hard enough to cut to teh bone.  The dapple warily watched the other horses and the new human, his eyes narrowed adn untrusting. When the other horse came near him, he whinnied and kicked at him, his hooves clsoe to hitting him. The hide on his body was clean or scars but he was scarred on teh inside. A hoove struck out at the air and hit the fence, cracking it slightly. The sound made him bolt and he began to run and snort.  |

I stepped back from the rail, knowing the horses didn't like my company. I still had my hands resting on the rails, my gaze still focusing on the horses.
ooc|| Ack! Brain Dead!

The dapple skidded to a halt, staring at a building. THe paint snorted nervously and pawwed teh ground, tossing his head. Sam walked over, carrying a rope. She didn't see Rae, only the two horses that need her help. Slowly, she began to spin it above her head, making the paint flee in fear. But he was trapped by the wooden chamber.

I jumped when I seen Sam, I hadn't been able to hear her approach. I watched the paint flee, but he was trapped. I watched Sam, then the horses. Wondering what Sam was going to do with them.

Sam tossed the rope over the dapple's head, holding it taunt so he could bolt. The rope was tied to a post and she went over the fence adn walked over to teh rig, talking to him softly. When she reached him, she touched his body, making him up and try to snap at her. But he was tied to the post and he was trying to back away.

I watched Sam, switching my gaze from the stallion to Sam. I leaned on the rail, watcing them with sparked interest. What did Sam plan on doing with the stallion?

The stallion snorted and kicked out a hind hoove, the kick worthless. Rubbin ghis neck softly, Sam touched his ears, nose chin, and his neck again. He snorted and tried to paw the ground. But she just stroked him and talked to him gently, the stallion calming down.

A small smile curved my rosy lips, Sam seemed to know just how to earn a horse's trust. I hoped one day I would be able to work with horses like Sam did. I shifted my weight, still watching the two. I glanced over my shoulder quickly, I soon would need to get to work. I didn't know what Sam had planned for me today.

Sam looked up, having a feeling someone was watching her. Looking over her shoulder, her eyes found Rae and a smile came to her face. Patting the stallion, she coaxed his forward and took the rope from around his neck, patting his side. The stallion didn't trust her still but let her touch him. Walking over, Sam smiled.Hey Rae. Wanna help me with something today? she asked, leaning on the fence.

Icouldn't help but smile after Sam had asked me. I nodded and responded,
Sure.
I kept my voice quiet and calm, so I wouldn't scare teh stallion.

The dapple snorted softly, eyeing the girl.I got some horses that need to be exercised. Wanna do that? Sam asked, touching the boy's cheek. He shied slightly but came back, nosign her pocket. A smile came on ehr lips and she gave him a carrot, rubbing his face as he ate it.

I read her lips, watching the stallion as he shied away.
Sure, which ones? And just run them through the basics in the arena? Western or english?
I was eager to get in the saddle, I wondered if I would be the only one exercising the horses.

Sam smiled softly.I need you to exercise Monk in Stall 3, Belle in Stall 5, and Echo in Stall 16. And just give them a work out. On their stall doors is what their disapline is and what they do. Just give them a small work out on that if you can, she explained. Josh was in townand Jay was working on homework. Sam had to try and get this boy under a saddle and listening and that would take awhile.
