~ Mackenzie ~
I smiled as we walked down to the barn. I glanced at Ariana and smiled about the comment about the place, yes I had to agree that was for sure. As I walked into the barn I let out a long drawn out whistle and heard Patch whinny in reply. "Well pretty boy knows we're here." I said with a smile, as soon as I entered the barn I could hear him huffing and snorting waiting to see who was coming.
(Sorry its kinda shortish)

~Ariana~
I smiled hearing him whinny, knowing Magnum must be asleep I decided to whistle as well hearing him nicker softly "wow Magnum is unusually quiet" I make the comment with a frown on my face walking beside Mackenzie to her horse's stall smiling at the other horses as well, at how beautifully they were all groomed, the different ways their manes were cut or braided I looked down the aisle where Magnum was then followed Mackenzie onto her horse's stall.

I smiled to her with a laugh. "Yeah Patch must be calmer then normal cause I haven't heard him try to bust out of his stall yet!" I said with a laugh thinking of how much he had come along but he still had so far to go. I smiled to myself at the memories of training him, soon it would be back to the round pen for some more ground. I smiled as I came up to his stall. He huffed and shoved his face into my face, I laughed and pushed him back. "Space boy! Space." I said laughing as he whipped his head and swished his tail. "He likes to get into your face sometimes but usually he's pretty good about minding your space." I said with a smile patting him between the eyes and then rubbing him.

"He is so beautiful!" I smiled holding my hand out slowly letting patch sniff my hand then I petted him gently on the nose "Magnum is always in my space but if he doesn't know you then he sniffs at you for almost 5 minutes then he walks away" I laughed as I remembered the first time I met Magnum he refused to come near me then he pushed me into a water trough. I smiled to myself then shook my head to get back to reality.

I smiled. "Thanks! He is my baby." I said rubbing all over his face and loving on his neck. I laughed. "Yeah Patch used to get into my space but a little natural horsemanship training and it got taken care of now he is perfect on the ground. Just a little jumpy under saddle." I said with a smile thinking of all the fun I had training him with horsemanship methods, Patch had never trusted me this much before and he was getting over not letting anyone but me ride him cause Mac had already rode him a few times without him bucking so he was coming around. I snapped myself out of my thoughts and handed him a peace of carrot. "He is my sweety I may be getting a new horse soon but I haven't found one yet that just clicks with me." I said with a smile thinking. I snapped myself back out of my thoughts and said. "I'm gonna get him some food and then I wanna see Magnum he sounds cool." I said racing into the feed room.

I laughed petting patch one more time before leaning against his stall to wait for Mackenzie then heard Magnum neigh and kick at his stall door "oh no Magnum" I whispered to myself worried he might try and break out but I have to wait for her I can't just run to him like I always do, I shifted from one foot to the other then petted patch again smiling when he pushed at my shoulder.

I smiled as I walked back down the aisle and to Patch's stall. I heard the other horse whinny and smiled to myself I loved the sound of horses, no matter what sound it was if a horse was making it it was perfect to me. I smiled at Ariana and poured Patch's feed into his bin and looked to her. "So you wanna feed Magnum now or whatever you were going to do?" I asked with a smile sitting down the feed bucket. Patch snorted happily grabbing more of his food.

I smiled "no i have to give him his medicine though" I sighed rubbing my forehead "he hates loading into a trailer and he stumbled on the ramp scraping his knee so I have to put medicine on it and wrap it every afternoon but I can still ride him but im not doing any cross country right now" I smiled almost if I was tired just from explaining it then headed toward Magnums stall laughing as he threw his head over the stall door looking for me.

"Aww... The poor boy." I said with a little smile. I walked along with her and nodded. "Yeah that's probably a good call not taking him out on XC yet." I said with a smile still following along with her. I laughed at the horse throwing his head over the stall door and said. "I am guessing that's magnum?" I raised my eyebrows at the horse who seemed to be looking for someone. "He's very beautiful." I said with a smile.

"Thats my boy" I murmured as I pet his muzzle softly I laughed as he nickered softly laying his head on my shoulder "no I don't have treats and no we arn't going riding yet" I smiled as i pulled his medicine out of my pocket and softly dripped some on his knee knowing he would stand still why I did so "crap I forgot to get his new bandages out of my truck" I sighed and stepped back out of the stall latching it back up "oh well it will be good to let the scab breathe its almost done pealing off so I should be able to slowly work him over some XC jumps"

I smiled watching her work and as far as I could tell he seemed to be very content with her around. That was a good sign I always liked to see people with horses that actually liked them I had seen a lot of horses back away in fear of their owner or be mean and pushy cause their owners were to scared of the horse to do anything back. "Yeah its good to let their wounds breath sometimes or else they won't really have a chance to heal as fast, I know cause I lost count on how many times Patch has gotten himself hurt." I said with a small smile, that horse could always find a way to hurt himself no matter where he was. I glanced at my watch and almost cursed to myself for forgetting something. I smiled and nodded. "Hey you wanna come see a horse with me? I am looking at new horse for myself and wouldn't mind having some company along." I said with a smile, the horse I was going to see today was a horse named Fury's Passion.

"I don't mind at all" I smiled kissing Magnums cheek "i'll be back later boy and ill lunge you in the arena" I made sure his stall was latched good before I followed Mackenzie smiling as I heard magnum kick at the stall door before he settled down to nibble at his hay.

Mackenzie smiled and nodded walking down the isle of the stable, I actually didn't care about looking at this horse named Fury but I figured what the heck maybe I'd click with him. I chuckled when I heard Magnum kick at his stall. I glanced up from the ground and held my head up smiling to myself at the thought of seeing a new horse. "So how long have you owned Magnum?" I asked with a smile.

I laughed as I followed her "not long actually I would half to say about" I had pause and count in my mind "2 years and we have come a long way" I shuddered at the memory, "I found him when he was just a yearling but then i sold him when he was 3 years old but then I got him back when he was 5 now hes seven but they treated him horribly and eventually let me quit visiting" Itrailed off then sighed "it's a long story"

I nodded listening to her talk. "Interesting..." I said trailing off a little bit thinking to myself about what she had just said. I popped my neck back and fourth and then said. "Yes it does sound like a long story but that is cool that you knew him all the way back when he was a yearling though." I said with a smile, "I have owned Patch since he was a year old, got him when he was a year and a half." I said thing to myself about the big nutty gelding.

"Magnum has always been stubborn but after that accident with his other owner he was super skittish and mean" I murmured the last part "even to me" I sighed rubbing at my lower back thinking of the first time magnum kicked out at me and managed to strike my lower back with his front right hoof.

I glanced at her and then let my thoughts run around my head for awhile. I was usually blunt and just asked any question I wanted but now I didn't really feel like being blunt, I almost laughed at myself not even knowing why I wanted friends now. Maybe it was this under laying nagging feeling that without at least one person to hang out with made me feel like I was all alone. "SO what happened?" I asked, "If you don't mind me asking that is." I added quickly.

I sighed "it was a bad storm that night and Magnum had been worked really hard that day out in the hot sun" I paused pinching the bridge of my nose "that was when the guy started the ban for me to never see Magnum and I snuck over to find that magnum had been left in the riding arena, tacked up then the wind picked up really bad, and he spooked" I teared up sighing once more "i thought I died when that limb fell on magnum when he ran under that tree, it got tangled in his bridle and reigns"

I glanced at her thinking about what she had said and then I finally said. "That's awful! How could someone leave a horse out there like that!" It made me mad when people treated their animals like that and made me want to hit them. I ran my fingers through my thick brown hair in thought for a moment. "Poor boy, I would have a heart attack if anything like that ever happened to Patch, I mean I almost lose my mind when he misses one feeding!" I said without one shred of a joking voice, it was true when it came to Patch I was very antsy about everything that went on around him. I shook my head at myself and said. "I am a little over reactive when it comes to him." I shrugged as we started out of the barn.

I shook my head "Magnum after that was hard to get along with but we've come along way now" I laughed "just last week he bunny hopped over a rock it was so funny" I followed her out of the barn stuffing my hands in my back pockets. "So whats it like around here? i don't make friends easily and i don't transition to a new place well either." I shrugged and looked at the ground.

I nodded listening and shook my head smiling. I glanced at her and shrugged hooking my thumps into my belt loops and thought a moment. "I don't really know how it is around here. I have been out a few times but all I can really say is that the teachers are good, the other riders pleasant... Mostly anyway. The towns okay but mostly I think life around here is boring as hell but that's okay with me. But everythings real easy to get into the swing of things around here." I said with a shrug and continued walking and then added. "Point is there is not a lot to do around here." I said walking along.

"i noticed but im sure me and Magnum could find stuff to do"I smiled as I walked beside Mackenzie then I looked up at the sky "hopuflly he gets better soon I want to try the XC course it looks difficult" I sighed stretching my back "i haven't ridden in a while so i would welcome the rush of wind blowing through my hair" I laughed to myself

"Yeah most seem to be able to get along here just fine." I said with a smile as we walked, I didn't really feel like mentioning that there was a lot of drama hanging around me at the moment. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah I need to get Patch back out onto the Cross Country course sometime soon before the ol' boy gets rusty." I said with a laugh thinking to myself. I smiled and glanced over a second and said. "Well if you ever want to take a quick ride I know someone who would let you borrow his mare for a ride." I shrugged and added. "He as long as your a good rider he let's anyone borrow Faith." I said with a smile just offering the suggestion most people never took up the offer but it was a fact so I said it.

I smiled "no thanks im very content with healing Magnum first" i laughed and sighed glad to be at a new place where she could start over with a clean slate and no one would judge her when ever she would walk into a room, well at least the wouldn't judge on her attitude maybe her looks though.

(lol meant Patch ) I nodded and shrugged. "Yeah I would be the same." I said with a small smile thinking of all the times I had almost had panic attacks about things I had gone through with Patch. I smiled and glanced around thinking to myself, as we neared the arena I cursed under my breath. "Man I hate it when people say their gonna be somewhere and their late!" I said looking around for the horse trailer. "They said they would be here when I got here." I said a little annoyed and then said. "Sorry I have a bit of a temper sometimes." I said with a small smile.

I laughed "don't worry i have a temper too" I looked around with her then tilted my head "thats weird i thought i saw one here earlier on my way to the lounge but i must be seeing things" I shook my head and smiled at her "don't worry they will come" I crossed my arms and waited with her.

I smiled glancing at Ariana. "Yeah your probably not seeing things one of the other students were probably having a horse dropped off or picked up." I said with a shrug thinking of how Kayla had hre horses going back and fourth all the time and it just annoyed me but everything she did annoyed me. I shrugged, "Yeah well if they get here soon they had better have a good excuse cause I end to chew people out." I said shacking my head at myself.
Not very long after I said that a long horse trailer pulled up, I heard a loud whinny come from it and smiled to myself. As the driver got he smiled and said. "Sorry I had a heck of time getting him on the trailer so I had to make Trace get on with him." I nodded and smiled. "Its fine, I'm Mackenzie by the way, the one you spoke to and this is Ariana." I said with a smile.

I smiled and laughed waving a tiny bit "hello" I patted Mackenzie's shoulder and whispered "don't worry ill stop you if you get out of control" I smiled hearing the whinny from the horse and stepped back to let them talk.

I smiled to Ariana and mouthed. "Thanks." Before smiling and turning back to the man with what I called a western accent meaning he talked without one more like people from the west coast, but was gruff. "Its nice to meet you both and yes just give me second to get Trace out of the way," He said to us and I nodded walking back with to the back of the horse trailer. "So whoes Trace anyway?" I asked. He shrugged. "Just a little pony my aunt kept and left to no one when she died and I have no idea what to do with her." He said unhooking the trailer door and swinging it open, the first horse I saw was a ratty shaggy looking pale colored pony. And Behind her was a big boned thick muscled black quarter horse known as Fury. The man walked into the trailer and brought the shaggy pony out and tied her to the trailer. "Stay away from her teeth and her rear, she's a biter and a kicker." He said before walking back into the trailer before long a tall shiny gelding jumped from the trailer. He was beautiful and slightly sweaty, his eyes rolled and his nostrils flared. "He like this all the time?" I asked. "No just after a long trailer ride, he isn't to fond of'em but he gets in them fairly well." He said stroking the geldings neck and leaving his lead lose, the right thing to do I thought. I glanced at Ariana and said. "What ya think?"

I looked the gelding over "i'm sure he could get over the trailer problem because say for instance you did get him, you wouldn't have the pony anyway to help load him" I smiled "hes very beautiful but the question is" i paused for a minute "is he ride-able?" my facial expression turned serious.
