It was morning, and a dark red Land Rover was traveling at a normal speed along a busy
road.''I thought you knew where you were going anyway, Kameron!'' moaned a
female voice, and a moment later a girl appeared from the back seat of the land rover to
glare at her older brother.''Yeah, well girls obviously cant read maps. Your the one
that’s directing us!'' Kameron retorted.''You two shut up! Look, there's the sign for
the place! THERE! DONT MISS IT YOU MORNON!'' Yelled the younger brother,
Chase. Kameron swerved down the road, and there were angry beeps from the other cars
behind him at his sudden change in direction. The driver ran his hand through his brown
hair and settled to a slower gear as they trundled along the deserted lane. Soon a sign
came into view 'Chance Stables'. They continued through and parked in an empty
space, Kameron got out.''I'll be back in a moment, try not to break anything'' he
said, and opened the back door and a dog jumped out and stood beside the young man.
''C'mon then Talon'' he said as he closed the back door again and walked towards
the barn, the male dog following obediently at his heels. He took a step into the barn and
looked around.''Hello? Anyone here?'' he asked into the relative silence, apart
from the noise of horses shuffling around in their stalls. They had come here, all of them,
to see if there was any room for them to keep Aniya's horse, and see if they could also
work here. Chance Stables had sounded like a good place to try first, ever since they had
seen the flyer on the Ad board for it. All of them in the family could ride, but his sister
was the only one with a horse. They had all also worked with young and problem horses
before, and so this place seemed just right. Now just to find the owner of the place.

Abby's bed felt fantastic. She was an extemly early person, normally up before anyone, and left with the dogs to the horses. But this morning, she was savoring a few extra moments, before emtting a small groan and getting up.
She pulled on her trackie pants, which were warm, and boots and half chaps, and a navy top and warm jacket. SDtepping out silently she made her way to the stables, Chicko the Kelpie in tow.
As she felt a smile emerge on her feature, she saw a deep red car, a Land Rover, driving down the driveway. Abby continued to quietly walk, and entered the stables just after the boy did.
Umm... Hey there! Are you right?

Kameron spun round, and spotted where the voice had come from. A girl. He stood still,
then spoke up again ''Hey, I'm Kameron Redwood. Um, are you the owner of this
stable? We saw a flyer and the ad board for this stable--'' Kameron was rushing what
he was saying a bit, maybe he should have let Aniya do the talking. He shrugged
inwardly and waited for the girl to speak.

Abby smiled at him softly, reaching over to a nearby ponty, giving him a good scratch.
Nah, thats Mum. But she'll be out for a while and at the moment, I'm running the horse side.
Her mum was really busy and stressed out so Abbyhappily found her self doing all chorse and training and caring.
The flyer about the positions avalible?
She questioned? They definatly could use some more help.

Kameron nodded ''Yeah, that’s the flyer'' he said, smiling friendly. He heard the
door or his land rover open and saw his brother and sister jump out. He gave a sigh, as his
sister ran over and stood beside him. Chase followed a little slower after Aniya, and
nodded a greeting to the girl. He stood a little back from his brother and sister, looking
absentmindedly around at the barn. Talon gave a whine beside him, and the young man
lowered his hand to stroke the dog.''So, do you have any jobs left?'' Kameron
asked the girl.

Abby almost sighed with delight.
Yeah! I definatly need some more help we are gettimg in another six horses, possibly more if the try and dump them onto us...
She trailed off.
Ok, well, We can provide livery, and accomadation, If you want. What jobs are you looking at? Excersise, training, strappers, stable hand...
Of course some jobs intercrossed... She had so much to do. She guessed they could help her turn out, most were half way through the feeds she had tossed into each stall. Then assign jobs.

''Well, my sister here--'' his sister interrupted him with a smile ''I have a horse,
Faith. I was wondering. Is it possible to board her here?'' Kameron pushed in front of
Aniya and gave a sigh.''Like she said. But all of us know how to ride and do the
everyday work at a barn. I have done work with training horses, and my brother--'' he
indicated Chase ''is good with just exercising. And I suppose Aniya will be suited with
anything.'' he finished and, looked at the girl, hopeful she taken in all he had said.

Abby smiled up at the elder guys and girl. She was a tad taken aback, but soon re established herself. She suddendly realised she hadn't introduced hherself.
Ok, Well, I'm Abby, Abby Dalton. And Kameron, your rescue, and you two stable hand and excersising?
She asked.

''Sounds perfect'' Kameron smiled, glaring at his sister as she made to interrupt.
She seemed a little desperate to find a home for the mare she owned.''Do you have
any stables empty?'' He asked, seeing the settled look on his sisters face as he asked
what she had been thinking.

Abby nodded.
Yeah, we do. We have three barns, one for Staff and Personal, where Faith can go, A training barn and a rehab barn. Any horses finished go where there's room. They are all Walk-in-walk-out. Stallions are seperated, but we normally geld them here. And lastly there are the breeding stalls. Often finished mares end up in her, as the stalls are huge and if their not being used are better.
She said, knowing the info but heart.
Okay so, shall I show you around?

Kameron nodded ''lead the way'' he prompted, glad they had found somewhere to
work. Aniya had a happy look on her face, true Faith was currently at a holding stall, but
as soon as she could transport her over to Chance Stabled she knew the mare would be
happy here. Chase looked pleased, he stepped up beside his brother, intent on seeing
more of the stables.

Abby smiled softly, and walked porpusly into the stables. Well, she just stood out side. THe four lined up next to each other and were the same size, each with indervidual tack and feed rooms, and hay lofts. The last was smaller, with no tack or feed room or a hayloft. All escept the last had small yards in which the horses could access through a two flap wooden door. On cold nights they were shut in, though.
These are the barns, the personal, training and rehab and the breeding. The office is there.
She pointed to each, then to a small building near the carpark. She then moved around the barns to the other side.
This is our house, where you can stay if you want. There is the upper story for any staff.
She pointed to the huge house.
Now the parstures.
She waited for them before heading to the parstues that boarders the property on each side of the driveway, and one more next to the stables.

Kameron followed after Abby, his brother and sister both continuing after him. Chase
was taking in the place as the girl escorted them around the property.''Its a nice place
you've got here'' he said approvingly. Aniya was nodding at the comment he had just
made. Meanwhile Kameron was taking in all that Abby was saying, and followed her to
the pastures.

Abby felt herself grin.
Thanks! Um, well, would you guys mind helping me bring these guys in?
She gestured at the horses, some starting to race to the gate at the sight of them, others lingerin in the best grazing spots.

''No problem'' Chase said, his expression lightening at the subject of the horses, he
walked up alongside his brother, his shy and reserved attitude from before was beginning
to waver, and he now looked more like his older brother, Kameron. Aniya nodded, and
agreed to help with a friendly and soft smile, he over eager and pushy attitude was
changing slightly now that she had settled more, and become accustomed to the property.
