Jen tilted her head slightly and gave a confused look.Really, why? she flinched at the sound of the rabbit, as did Theft. The gelding snorted and flicked his ears back, looking over to Captain.

Captian snortd again and tossed his head as if to say, His problem for being eaten. Miranda smiled slightly, looking over at Jen.I used to play in a band and we were asked to travel with this country band and do the opening acts for them. I wanted to go but I had to think of my kids and what I wanted to do for a furture, not to metion how to deal with my ex. So, I talked to ALyssa and she told me about the stable and I knew I wanted to come here instead. Now, I am happy I made that desicion. My kids are happy too, she said, patting Captian on the neck.If I never came here, I would have never met Captian or you and Sasha or become a teacher and a foster ma. This is my choice for a life instead of a smelly old bus.

Jen had to laugh at this.Yeah, I'd probably prefer a ranch to a bus and life on the road any day of the week. It doesn't sound like fun having to be cooped up inside everyday. I'd go crazy! Theft bobbed his head as if agreeing. Though he was having a hard time trying not to think of the pain that rabbit was probably going through right now.

Miranda laughed and suddenly gasped.Look at that, she breathed. Pointing to the clearing the in trees, they could see a huge Golden Eagle sit in the grass, his beak red, and suddenly take off, carrying the rabbit in his claws. Somewhere nearby, the sound of squalling young reached their ears as the eagle took his meal to his mate and hatchlings.I will have to tell the game warden about them, Miranda murmered softly.She will want to know where they are and keep an eye on them. Golden Eagles are rare around here.

Jen turned her head in the direction that Miranda pointed to, soon emitting a gasp of her own. She'd never seen a bird like that before, but assumed it was an eagle. She traced the bird's flight over to his mate and hatchlings and smiled.I've never seen one of those before. she said, still keeping her eye on the Golden Eagle.

Miranda sighed happily.What a world we live in. Those poor guys were shot by shepherds back in the day because they are strong and big enough to carry off lambs. They were almost killed out around here but they are coming back, she said, watching the parents feed the young, who were a soft gold color.

Jen shook her head, disgusted. Even though the eagles were taking food, it wasn't right to shoot them. She controlled her anger and calmed herself down.I don't know how any human being could kill something as amazing as that. It's disgusting. she said, watching the eaglets.

Well, it was during the time where New Hope wasn't around and the only way they could eat and live was by their sheep. But still, it is wrong,[/b] Miranda agreed, shooing some flies away from Captian's head.So, have you got any questions about Flawless? I get uncomfortable if I keep talking randomly. She gave a soft smile and looked back at the stable. While riding through the woods, they had riden up a hill and came to the crest, where many of the trees had been cut down and cleared out. It was a wonderful view of the surrounding area.

Jen went through her head, searching for any questions she could possibly have. She wasn't a nosy person, and didn't like to get into people's business. That was just her nature, always had been.None that come to mind. You have any about Crystal? she said, reaching the hill's crest and looking down on the lay of the land before them.Wow, what an awesome view.

Miranda shook her head to Jen's question.Not yet. But I do got one. Anyone there need a riding teacher? she asked, looking down and around the area.Yeah, I love this spot. Me and Alyssa found some cool places from here.

Jen thought to all the people that lived at Crystal.Nope. All the workers know how to ride, and we don't have any kids around. Her mind wandered away, to that dream she had of one day actually having a family-not that she didn't have one now. But she wanted one of her own-a loving husband, kids...Jen snapped back to attention, looking to Miranda.

Miranda watched her for abit and chuckled.Thats fine. I have been looking for more students but I also have to concentrate on working with the horses too, she said, patting Captian as he graze. The stallion lifted his head about and snorted, dropping it down to get at some good grass.

Yeah, we're doing that a lot at our place. she said, her mind running through all the horses that were being worked on.There's always a horse that needs to be trained or rehabilitated or taught to trust again. Hardly have time to sit down any more! she joked.

Miranda smiled softly again.Same with us. But we need to find more workers because we can only keep the kids with the horses so long before they got homework, school, and their social lives, she said, gazing back out at the land around them.

Jen nodded, understanding.But it helps that we have so many workers. Me, Sasha, Angel, Lilly, Billie Joe, and Gerard all train and excercise. Then Amy and the new , Jazz, help with feeding, grooming, turning out, and sometimes help me and the rest tack up. It really helps get things done.
