[taking a look]

[mustang5jk2]

Alright, Jen watched as Darren went back to his trailer and led the paint horse to the barn. From what she could tell from his conformation, the stallion was a Warmblood.He's a beauty, she said, approaching the stallion slowly and offering a hand.Where'd you get him?

[BECKiEE :)]

''Yeah, he looks better now than I thought he would'' he said and smiled fondly at
the stallion as he walked towards Jen, and stopped as she approached him and Wolf. The
stallion arched his neck at first, looking away indignantly as the girl offered him her
hand. But after a minute he curiously turned back and lipped at her finger tips, ears
pricked intently as he widened his nostrils taking in the woman’s scent. Darren pleased
with whatever supernatural forces there might be that the stud didn’t see her hand as
'edible', and it seemed to do the trick. Wolf just continued to lip at her, no teeth involved.
''I bought him quite cheap at a youngster sale up in LA. He was a mess when I first got
him, but he’s doing better now even if he has the odd few problems I need to see too''
he said. Indicating with a nod of his head up the isle of the barn he asked softly ''This
way?''

[mustang5jk2]

A small smile made an appearance as the stallion lipped at her hand gently.He's still a good boy though, she said, rubbing the stallion between the eyes.Yes, follow me. She moved away from the stallion and walked down the aisle, coming out of the barn on the other side and moving to a barn straight across from it. Jen pushed the doors open wider so the stallion could fit through and opened the door to an open stall.This one look alright to you?

[BECKiEE :)]

Darren followed after Jen, leading Wolf with him.
The stallion tugged slightly at the lead rope and gazed wide eyed around him as the
smells of other horses drifted to him. He let out an excited snort and began prancing after
Darren, his long chestnut tail held high, swatting it about as though hitting flys.''Calm
down, you have been in a barn before'' the young man said, taking hold of the
throat strap on Wolf's halter and holding it steady for a moment the stallion's excitement
subsided to mere tail swishing and enflamed nostrils. As they came into the other barn, he
nodded in approval.Yeah, this looks fine'' he said and lead the stallion in through
the open door. He turned him in the stall and stood beside him, rubbing his neck. Before
he gently slipped off the black halter and brought it with him outside the stall again. He
reached inside his hoodie pocket and pulled out a fragment of carrot and allowed the
stallion to take it out of his palm.''He is a good boy--'' he said smiling
absentmindedly at Wolf and then back at Jen. He closed the door slowly and locked it,
careful to also put down the kick bolt.''Right... he’s settled. I'll come down later and
give him his feed. Where to now?''

[mustang5jk2]

Jen had moved to the door of the barn while Darren let Wolf in. At the sound of his voice, she looked up.Next, we go to the house. She walked out of the barn and past the one they'd walked through, up a slight incline to the seemingly regular sized house.Tada, welcome to the house. she said, opening the door.

[BECKiEE :)]

He followed her again, taking a last look at Wolf before continuing after the young
woman. Darren looked about him at the scenery, quite taken aback. It was much more
'picture perfect' than he had expected it to be. He followed Jen up a path and then she
stopped. Announcing they had arrived,''Wow, that’s pretty big--'' he said, both
brows raised as he looked at the house from where he stood.

[mustang5jk2]

Jen tilted her head to one side, as though looking at it again and reassessing it.I suppose it is. She walked through the door and held it open for him.All the bedrooms are upstairs. On the left is the guys side, on the right is the g.irls. Kitchen's right through there, so's the living room. I'll show you to your room. she climbed up the stairs, waiting for him at the top.

[BECKiEE :)]

''Its much bigger than the houses I used to live in either way'' he said with a small
grin. And stepped into the house after her, he nodded taking in the information. He
climbed the stairs after Jen ''Okay, lead the way''.

[mustang5jk2]

Jen moved down the left hallway and opened a door on the left.This is your room. The room was medium sized, with a bed, dresser, night stand, and light.It's basic, but you can do whatever you want to it. She turned to the night stand and opened the top drawer, taking out a key.Here's your house key. The bathroom is a door down on the right. If you want to know something, you can either ask me or one of the guys.

[BECKiEE :)]

He followed Jen down the hallway and stopped when she opened the door, then looked in
at his room, impressed. He walked in after her.''Anything you say, well I've got quite
a bit of stuff back at my hotel room--'' he trailed off. It would all fit in the room, for
sure so three was no worries. He took the key from her,''Thanks'' he said lightly
with a smile.

[mustang5jk2]

She stepped out of the room, standing in the door frame.You're welcome. We usually start at eight in the morning. You can come down and see what you're going to be doing then. Jen went back down the stairs and headed out for the barn,

[BECKiEE :)]

''Okay thanks, see you later'' he finished and ruffled his dark brown hair. He
reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out his cell phone, dialing the number of
the hotel he said he’d drop by later and hand over the bill for the night he had stayed here,
and would be round later to pick up his stuff. Ending the call, he looked around the room,
before tucking the key for the house in his pocket along with the phone. he walked out of
the bedroom, closing the door and retraced his earlier steps back to the pickup. Darren
unlatched the horse trailer and left it were it was, before driving off to pick up his stuff.

[mustang5jk2]

Jen went to the stall of her own horse, Grand Theft, and led him out. After she ran a hard brush over him, she tacked him up and led him up to the arena, putting him through his gaits and jumping him.

-are we finished?-

[LazyBeckiee]

ooc - yep, oh and btw... is there any particular horse that Darren should start working with?

[mustang5jk2]

-nope, not yet. right now I'm figuring out which horses he'll be training. They'll be posted under the riding schedule.-
