His eyes glowed with her praise, and one could tell he hadn't recieved much of it over his life span, basically hardly any. He patted Shady's neck and moved her back out on the rail to cool her out. She wasn't very hot, but he wanted to make sure. |

Shady snorted softly and nudged his leg again, lipping at his pant leg softly. As Sam watched them, another smile crept onto her face.

He looked down at her as she lipped his pant leg, and he patted her neck. Once he felt that she was cool enough, he brought her to the middle and hopped down, landing softly on the ground. He took the reins over her head and then went to her front, smiling and stroking her nose. He turned and led her forward, to the gate where Sam was standing. |

He thanked Sam softly and watched as the chickens scurried by. He was glad that Shady hadn't spooked or anything like that. He brought her back to the barn and exchanged her bridle for her halter. He clipped her into the crossties and hung the bridle back up. He lifted up the flap of the saddle and his eyes were met with a difficult looking cinch. He had no idea how to get it off. He looked over to Sam for help.What do I do? |

Sam smiled and walked over."I will show you, then you can try," she said. Taking the loose strap, she puched it up so there was a bumb. Taking that, she pulled up, taking the rest of the loose strap out. She pulled that strap from the bottom and then just tugged on the rst of the strap, pulling it out. She did it back up and smiled."Your turn," she siad. Shady waited patiently, gazing at the other horses. SHe was one of the few that didn't need to be tied but it was ok.

He nodded and looked back, watching her intenetly. He was a fast learner, and could usually do things after watching someone complete the job. Once she did it back up, he took his place in front of it. He created the bump that she had, and pulled at it, watching as it came up. He then pulled on the rest of the strap and watched as it came undone, gently sliding out and hanging on the other side. He looked back at her with a smile.Thanks... |

Sam grinned and patted his back."You did a good job Aidan," she complimented. Shady looked back and snorted, her ears flicking."She says good job too," Sam said with a smile.

He caught her smile and then felt her hand patting her back, followed by the compliment.Thanks Sam. He told her greatfully and allowed himself to laugh slightly at Shady's snort. He looked back up at Sam.She did a good job too... |

Sam smiled."She does what she needs to," she said, getting the brushes. She took a body brush and began to groom one side, patting the mare's side lightly.

He nodded and went to the other side, brushing her gently. He stroked her neck softly, silently thanking her for helping him with his troubles for the time being. He continued brushing her, then thought of his question. He looked over at Sam, barely able to see over Shady's back.Do you think you could teach me how to barrel race? |

Sam looked over, smiling slightly."Sure. We'd have to use a different horse though," she siad with a smile."Shady is just a riding horse or a trick girl."

Hearing her answer, he was a bit disappointed that he couldn't learn with Shady, but he was extremely happy he coud learn. He nodded excitedly.Alright...is it hard? |

Sam shook her head."If you have a good feel that you can do it, its kinda easy," she said, finished with her side.
