Gunpowder's Stall (open)

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Friday

I walked down to the alone stable where the young horses were I was very excited about meeting my new charge Gunpowder, I walked down the isle looking the stalls for a gray colt and finally found his stall he was a very pretty gray but was also very cute, I walked up to the door slowly and calmly and leaned on the door, he was eating grain from his bucket, "hello there" I said quaintly to the young horse who was said to have a very bad temper, that's one of the reasons I picked him, I thought he really needed some one to understand and love him, he turned and looked at me with cruise eyes, he wouldn't walk toward me so I didn't move, but I did have a little horse treat in my pocket, it was black cherry flavored and I slowly pulled it out and stretched my out not all the just enough so he would have to walk close enough so I pet his, he looked at my hand and stretched his nose out to stiff at it, "its OK boy I won't hurt you, you can take and run back over there if you won't to, you don't have to stay over here after you eat it" I said, this was how I was used to doing things with horses, he took a step forward and then another, until he took the sweet heart from her hand, I then closed my hand into a fist and turned it over so he could sniff it, without worrying to much about a painful bit if he decided to go ahead and bit me!, but he didn't he took a step back and I retracted my hand got another sweet heart for him and this time when I held out my hand he stepped up and took it without hesitating this time, "good boy I told you it was OK didn't I?" I said he seemed sweet, I slowly turned my hand and raised it and ran my figures down the end of his muzzle, when he did do anything but seem to enjoy the attention I was giving him, I brought my figures to the middle of his nose still barley touching it and I slowly worked my way up, in till I ran my entire hand down his face, he had a bold face meaning his entire face was almost totally white it made him look cute I thought, "so you think we are gonna get along Gunpowder?" I said I thought would be the perfect name cause he was gray kinda like gunpowder and I knew he had a temper that could just blow up! at the name he flicked his ears "you like it huh" I took my hand away to get him another treat, and this time when I took my hand away he walked up the door so he could put his out, "hey so you decided to join me huh" I said, I found the treat he really seemed to like these treats, after it was gone he licked my hand a few time, I just couldn't help it I had to giggle, but he didn't seem to mind to much, I slowly reached my hand to his neck and started to stroke it slowly and then I looked into his eye , they were soft and sweet, but I could also tell he had eyes that many of T's racing studs had, the ones that where crazy and just about hatted everybody, except for their mares, I just stood there looking into his eyes I new some horse saw this as challenging them but others saw as saying I am the boss not you, he didn't do anything he just looked into my eyes, and then I noticed he had very dark blue eyes probable cause of the bold face most horses who have that, have blue eyes, but not like his they had eyes that made them looks blind, but he deep blue eyes, they were very pretty. "OK boy you and I are gonna be working together for some time and let's get this straight right now, I am the boss, now I will love you and give you more love then you really need, but I will not put up with any bad behavior, I know your gonna be trouble some times, but I am a patient person and will be that way with you" I said I don't even really know why I did I knew he couldn't understand, but it do something since I was looking him in the eye when I said it, all I know is he flattened his ears at me, I stepped back, and reached out a hand and thumped him right on the nose, his ears pricked right up and he stepped back a step, I stepped forward, "you see can't do that to me Gunpowder" I said he pinned his ears again and kicked the wall of the stall, I walked up the stall door again, "now stop that it ain't gonna help," I looked in his eyes again, I seen them calm a bit and he walked back up to the door and drooped his head out the door, so I could stroke him again, I gave him a treat, "good boy" I said patting him on the neck and then I started to stroke his nose with one hand and his neck with the other. I smiled to myself he didn't seem that bad.

Saturday

I speed walked into the barn to visit with Gunpowder, he had been pretty good yesterday, I hope he is in a better mood then Marya was today, I thought, Marya had been in a very bad mood this morning, and by the time I got him taken care of and turned out, it was almost noon, I walked up to his stall, he was eating what was left of his morning feed, "hey boy" I said with a quiet whisle to him, he turned coming to get the treat I and held for him, he took it eagerly, "good boy I said patting him on the neck, he nosed for more treats, I had one more in my pocket, when I found it I gave it to him, when he asked for more, and I didn't give him anything he turned around started looking for something to nibble on in his stall, at least he doesn't lose his temper when he wants a treat and doesn't get one, I thought, I leaned on the door "Now that you know you can trust me, how bout we go to one of the round pens tomorrow and you can run around a bit?" I asked him it seemed like an ok idea, I could use the time to test his boundries, and maybe groom him a bit. Maybe I will get to know him better. With a plan in mind for tomorrow I left the barn I planed on going for a trail ride with Marya today and didn't want to keep him waiting.

Sunday

I walked into the stable to get Gunpowder, I planed on taking him to one of the round pens, and do a little bit with him, I walked into one of the tack rooms I picked a rope halter for him, I didn't know he was at leading and decided to use a halter built for young horses that like to pull away. I came back with halter in hand and sliped into the stall to my surprise he didn't mind the that much, I rubbed his cheek "good boy, good boy" I told him as a rubbed his cheek then a pat on the neck, I opened the door and lead him out he wasn't to bad at leading maybe a little forward, but that was no big deal to me that's how Marya was to, we left the barn and headed for the training arena, she later found out was what theey had here. I wasn't sure if Gena was gonna check up on I was doing with him today or not, hse just told me she would keep an eye on the young horses in training to make sure they were in good hands.

Monday

I was walking to the stable, when I seen some horses jumping in a arena, and I stopped to think for a minute, but snaped out of it and coutinued into the stable and to Gunpowder's stall, I walked to the door "hey boy how ya doin'" I asked him he came over to me for a treat and I gladly gave him one and then I decided to talk to him for a bit, "you know I used to ride race horses all the time, you know, some times I wish I was home so much, I miss T so much and I miss riding out on that only trial I had for Marya, that I would ride on as much as I could, or spending the week out at T's house, helping Train Kickstart, and her mom always had something to eat like apple pie or her brownies, and a bunch of other stuff I miss it all so much, yeah having Marya here dulls it a little but its all still there, way back home," I told him and as I told him I started to talk out loud more so then to him "I would be galloping around the track about now racing T and Kickstart, he would win of course, he always won, I would pull Dunny back to a trot and T would rain Kickstart in and come back 'nice ride' she would tell me 'yeah right your just saying that to rub it in' I would say and then we would both laugh, I just miss home so much and life isn't easier here, like it was suppost to be," I told him a tear starting to well up in my eye, "NO!" I said, I'm not gonna cry I'v held it in for months now and I will keep it in, I thought, and then I rolled my eyes back and finally got the tears to stay back, I relaxed and just leaned on the stall, hoping no one had haerd me talking to myself.

Tuesday after the lession

When me and Gunpowder returned to the stall he was ready for his feeding witch was delevered shortly agter we arived back at the stable, he ate eagerly I didn't see anything left to do, since I had groomed him at the arena, and he hadn't sweated so he didn't need a bath, "I will find Gena and talk to her about the saddle idea I had for you tomorrow, and see if she think that would be a good idea since you did nicely with the saddle pad," I said to him he didn't even notice me, "ok then see ya later" I said giving a little whisle that I had trained Marya to know was my leaving whisle and now I was teaching him the same thing.

Wesday

I ran to the stable, making sure no horses were around when I was running, I walked into the take room and gathered every thing I would need for todays lession with Gunpowder, I found a very light training saddle that would fit him nicely, I picked it up with the pad and ran down to the training a arena and gathered everything else I would need like my lounging whip, lounging rope, and of course his fav treats Sweet Haerts, and then I ran back into the stable and found the blue rope halter I liked to use with him and slipped inot the stall and putting it on his head, I lead him from the stall, "its wearid you have such a bad temper, but you have graeat ground manners." she said as she walked she had found that he liked to hear people talking to him.

Wesday after the saddle lession

as I returned to the stable with gunpowder and took him to the stall he seemed to have enjoyed his day, as I put him in his stall I decided to talk to him some more "you want to tell a story today if you don't mind? well of course you don't mind," I said and started to tell the story, "well I was riding along on Marya, I had told Marak I would meet him out in the field for a ride with him and Sorrow, when I got to the field he was on top of Sorrow looking more handsome then ever, in the last week I had been riding with them I had started to feel something very strong for him that had never been there, and 'hey you want to ride over to the lake?' he said 'yeah why not!' I said I loved the lake it was beautiful there, we cantered over to the lake, and stopped it was late in the day and getting very close to twilight, but it didn't matter I had planed on staying at T's house for the night, and as we watched the sunset from our horses, 'so you OK I mean after you know what happened between you and Jake?' he asked, he is so sweet, I thought, 'yeah I guess, he was a jerk I can't believe I ever went out with him at all' I said with some anger and sadness to my voice, I remembered the night when we had broken up, and I had cried on Maraks shoulder for hours he had always been there for me, I turned to look at him, he had the most beautiful deep sea blue eyes I had ever seen, 'you have the most beautiful eyes' he said to me I was so surprised, I almost dropped my mouth open, 'huh um thanks' I said I'm sure I sounded like an idiot, but he leaned toward me and I didn't move I didn't want to, I wanted this moment to be real, and didn't want to move just in case it was a dream, and then he kissed me, for a long time we just sat there and then he pulled away 'you are so deferent from any girl I've ever known, your a special person, and your special to me,' he said and I couldn't believe what I was hearing, he really felt this about me! 'your special to me to' I said and he kissed me again, and then looked into my eyes 'I care a lot about you Kayla, we have known each other all our lives and I have felt this way about you since I was sixteen, you were riding one of our rescues and only you could ride him, that's when I started to feel very strongly for you' he told me, he had really cared all that time, 'I have strong felling for you, and now that I think about it, I have always cared very strongly for you' I told him and now I knew it wasn't a lie I felt such a surge every time he kissed me that I just knew that I loved him, 'I' I started to say but he cute me off by kissing me again. and I never got a chance to tell him how I felt before we moved." I told him in my heart I wished someone had heard me I needed some one to talk to that could talk.

Thursday

I walked quickly to Gunny's stall, I was in a very hyper mood today, and probable needed to get it out as much as Gunny did, "hey boy" I chirped to him as I found his stall, he nickered a friendly greeting to me, "Hi, Gunny, so you want to try some jumping on the lunge today?" I asked him and he started to whip his head up and down, witch made me laugh "you are more of a goof then people think," I said to him, we were getting along pretty good, and I ran to the tack room and got blue rope halter I liked to use with him, and also got the light saddle and bridle, and slowly tacked him up and he was totally fine with it, not even a ear twitch, "good boy" I said he was really coming along, "now just to see how you do with jumps" I said, I planed on trying some jumps about 1 foot high, and then we trotted out of the barn and down to the big roomy arena.

Monday

I trotted back into the barn, Gunny had a very good day today, he proved that he had a lot of jumping talent, his temper was almost always easy to controll now, and he never seemed to spook at anything, tomorrow I would lunge him and play some horsey games, before seeing what might be spooky for him to deal with, I unclipped him into his stall, "so you have fun today Gunny," I say, calling him by his name that I have shorted, and he whips his head, whips his tail and nudges me for a treat witch as always is a sweet heart falvered of black charry, "here you are big guy," I say, handing him three of the treats cause their so small, and then I give him a peck on the nose head out of the barn, "see ya tomorrow," I say before leaving.
