Kayla walked into the boarder barn and stopped at stall 13. "Hey girl," she said softly. She unlatched the stall door and stepped into Angel's stall. Angel watched her with curiosity. Kayla held out a hand for Angel to smell. Angel nibbled a little at her hand. "You just want a treat," Kayla said witha giggle. She reached into her pocket and took out a mint. She layed flat on top of her hand and reached out towards Angel. Angel took it happily and sniffed more at Kayla's pocket. "Maybe later, girl." Kayla put Angel's halter on Angel and attached the lead rope. She lead Angel out and attached her to the crossties closest to her stall. She took out the grooming box and grabbed the curry comb. She started to curry Angel's palomino coat in small circles. Angel sighed and relaxed.

Bree walked past the stalls after she'd finished looking after Cookie. She saw a girl she'd never seen before grooming a palomino in the cross-ties. Normally Bree wouldn't talk to anyone she didn't know, but she had to walk past the girl to get out of the barn, and she didn't want to seem rude. Besides, now that she had Cookie, Bree felt a little more comfortable with everything and everyone around her. "Hi," she said quietly, with a small smile at the stranger and her horse.

(sorry, vacation. ) Kayla looked up and saw another girl. She tensed up a little at first, but then relaxed and stroked Angel for comfort. Why was she so nervous? She was never nervous. Not really. She smiled at the other. "Hey," she said, with almost a shrug. She patted Angel again. Angel was getting a little impatient and ancy. She wanted to move. Kayla sighed and took a mint out of her pocket, giving it to Angel who happily ate it greedily.

(hahaha sorry, vacation too ) Bree walked a few steps closer to them and then stopped, noticing the girl tense when she spoke. Bree nearly sighed, but held it in. She used to be exactly like that. Almost unconsciously, she tipped her head forward so her hair fell around the birthmark that stretched down Bree's face. She gave another small smile as she watched the mare chew on the mint. "I'm Bree," she said softly, watching the horse rather than the girl. "She's cute," she said after a moment, nodding towards the horse.

(Haha okay. d:)
Kayla but her lip but then smiled. She threw the curry comb into her grooming bucket and grabbed a mane and tail comb, tackling the tangles in Angel's mane. "I'm Kayla, and this is Angel. She's not always an Angel though," Kayla said to Bree, only half-joking. Kayla took a step back looking at Angel's mane, and then combed out her forlock a little. Angel nudged her, wanting another mint. "Thanks," Kayla said smiling. "You can give her a mint if you want." Kayla said extending her hand with the mint in it. Angel threw her head towards Breem as if encouraging her.

Bree smiled and giggled at what Kayla said. She watched the girl brush out her horse's mane, and then smiled. "Okay," she said, taking the mint from Kayla's hand and then offering it to the mare in her palm. She laughed as Angel tossed her head towards her, and smiled at the familiar feeling of a horse's soft muzzle lipping up a treat. "There you go," Bree said, smiling. She gave Angel a tiny rub on her nose and then stepped back a little. She always felt a little awkward petting other people's horses.

Kayla smiled, watching Angel lip up the mint. Kayla was just a little confused when bree stepped back, but she understood. Kayla almost rarely ever pet other people's horses. It made her feel really wierd, especially when she didn't know the owner. Kayla just shrugged. "She won't bite ya know, and neither will I," She said with a smile. "Well, she won't bite or kick as long as you dont go in her stall or try to ride her without me there anyways." Kayla shrugged and started rubbing angel right below her mane. And immiediately extended her neck and leaning towards Kayla. "It's her favorite spot," Kayla said with a smile.

Bree smiled, nearly giggling. She gave Angel a little scratch on the forehead and nodded to Kayla. "I know...I just," she stopped, not knowing what to say. She wasn't afraid of the horse at all. Bree gave a tiny shrug, not knowing how to finish her sentence. "I wouldn't do that, ever," she said to Kayla, her eyes widening. She couldn't ever imagine going to ride someone else's horse. She giggled a little at Angel's reaction to being rubbed. "My mare likes being scratched on her wither," she said, a little shyly.

Kayla smiled. "I understand it's okay," Kayla giggled a little. Kayla remembered that she still had the mane and tail comg in her hand and she placed it back in the grooming box and took out a hoof pick. "Good, someone tried to do that at my other barn. Angel started going into a fut and rearing, but luckily I got her to calm down and the girl stayed on before she really started to rear." Kayla was a little surprised that the other girl had a horse, but she wouldnt be in the boarder barn if she didnt. "Whats your mare's name?" she asked curiously.

Bree grimaced. "Why would someone do that?" she said, half to herself. She knew there was no way she'd ever just get on someone's horse. "At least nobody got hurt," she said. She smiled a little at Kayla's question. "Her name's Cookie," she said. "She was my lesson horse here, but Angela let me keep her!" Bree grinned. That was her favourite memory of anything. The best day of her life.

Kayla just shrugged and sighed. "Because they have watched Flicka or The Black Stallion too many times," she said with a small laugh. "Yea, and if she did who knew what wouldve happened." Kayla thought for a moment. "That's awesome! Angel's too.... Angel to be a lesson horse," she laughed.

Bree smiled shyly, and then laughed. "She's a sweetie," she smiled to Kayla. Plucking up her courage and taking a mental deep breath, Bree quietly asked Kayla "Do you wanna go for a ride together?" She focused her gaze on Angel to avoid looking the other girl in the eye. She wanted to make friends, but she still wasn't too sure how to.

Kayla smiled happily. "Sure! Angel would love that. When do you wanna go? Now?" Kayla asked. She wasn't shy or nervous at all anymore. She couldn't wait to ride Angel now. She wasn't even doing anything, and neither was Bree. So hopefully now. Angel was already groomed, and her hooves were picked. Angel seemed to know what they were talking about and nudged Kayla. Kayla laughed and scratched Angel under her mane to get her to calm down.

Bree smiled. "Sure, we can go now if you want," she said, grinning shyly to Kayla. "Cookie hasn't been on a trail for a while," she smiled. "I just need to get her tacked up!" Bree was happy that Kayla had agreed; she always felt more comfortable around people when she was on a horse.

Kayla smiled and cheered in her head. She wanted to ride soon but she had been nervous of going alone. "Awesome! I need to get tacked up too," Kayla said and immiediately turned around to get a soft green saddle pad and her saddle. She layed the saddle pad over Angel's withers and placed the saddle right on top. She tightened the girth and turned to look around. "Where did I put my helmet?" Kayla looked around and opened her tack trunk and took out her black riding helmet, placed it over her head and tightened it. Kayla quickly put on Angel's bridle. She hadn't looked to see where Bree went but she knew she had to be close, so she waited with Angel.

Bree turned and walked back down to Cookie's stall. She greeted the tri-colour mare with a stroke on the cheek, and continued walking to grab Cookie's tack. Walking back out with her bright red bridle and saddle blanket, as well as the saddle slung over her arm, Bree tacked her mare up quickly. She'd just finished grooming Cookie when she'd met Kayla, so she didn't need to groom the mare again. She tightened Cookie's girth and slipped the bit into her mouth, buckling up the throatlash. Cookie hated having a noseband on, so Bree had taken it off a few days before. She grabbed her helmet from its hook as she led her mare from the stall, and made her way back to Kayla and Angel. "This is Cookie," she smiled, buckling up her helmet as she introduced the mare to Kayla. Cookie nickered softly to Angel, flicking her ears.

Kayla waited with Angel, stroking her and wiping stray horsehairs and hay of her shirt. She saw Angel pin her ears back and looked ahead to see Bree and a beautiful mare. "She's adorable!" Kayla said, and she couldn't help but smile and laugh at herself. Angel put her ears forward again when Cookie whinnied and snorted, bobbing her head. Angel tried to get closer to Cookie but Kayla kept her back. "Well I guess we better go now, Angel's ready to go," Kayla said with a smile. Kayla put a foot in her left stirrup and easily swung herself forward, thanks to Angel's small size.

Bree smiled, stroking Cookie's nose. She nodded as Kayla mounted Angel, and pulled her stirrups down, jumping up quickly onto Cookie. "Alright," she smiled. She flipped a piece of Cookie's mane onto the other side of her neck and gently pushed the mare forwards. "Where do you wanna go?" she asked Kayla quietly.

Kayla waited and watched Bree mount Cookie. Kayla took the lead, because there was a place on the trails she really wanted to go to. "I may be new, but I love trail riding. I checked out the trails before I was accepted here. There is one trail that goes stright to a lake, some parts are pretty shallow but it can get pretty deep too. So... wanna go there?" Kayla asked messing around with Angel's mane. Kayla headed straight to where the trails started. They were beautiful here and they started out as one trail and curved off into different trails. ((haha one change it top the trails forum?))

Bree nodded in agreement. "Okay!" she said. She'd never ridden Cookie in a lake before, but she wanted to try it. She guided Cookie to follow along behind Angel, but at a safe distance. Bree wasn't sure if the palomino would kick out if Cookie got too close.
(Okay! )

"Awesome!" Kayla said and started off at a trot to go to the trails and through the woods. She took two left turns when there were forks in the trail, and they were soon on their way to the lake. Kayla looked back. "Angel won't kick Cookie, especially since she's so interested in her if you wanna come up here," Kayla called back to Bree. Angel was going a bit slow, most of her attention was on Cookie, and she was only half listening to Kayla. "Have you ever swam with a horse or ridden in water with one? It's amazing. Nothing beats it," Kayla exclaimed patting Angel on the neck.

Bree smiled and nudged Cookie into a trot, following Kayla down the forks in the trail. Cookie nickered and pricked her ears as she looked around the woods. Bree smiled at what Kayla said. "Okay!" she said, kicking Cookie up to trot along next to Angel. Bree's mare snorted at the palomino, but otherwise ignored her, trotting along happily. Bree shook her head at Kayla's question. "No, I haven't," she said with a smile. "But I can't wait to try it!" she said. Cookie's pace increased slightly as Bree got excited. She laughed and sat to Cookie's trot, keeping the mare slow to keep up with Angel.

Kayla smiled, watching back to make sure Bree kept up untl she trotted up next to her. Angel nickered at Cookie and tried to pull ahead more, and Kayla let her a little but not far enough to get totally ahead of Cookie. Kayla smiled at bree. "Well it's really fun. I first did it with a friend when I was younger. her family broke green horses by bringing them to the lake and riding them in the water, because the horses can't buck or rear and are forced to listen to you. I kinda felt bad for them," Kayla siad with a small frown. Kayla hated seeing the young horses struggle and not know what to do when they took them in the water. But its what they do. "anyways, it's really fun. some horses are curious of it, so bound into the water, and some run away from it," she said with a smile. The trees started thinning out an they ended up in a huge field that was basicly a whole hill. "It's on the other side," Kayla grinned happily.
