Tony walked into the arena, leading Eden along with him. The sun was shinning and got in the way of Tony's vision. He squinted his eyes awkwardly. Next to him, Eden snorted softly and nudged Tony's arm, trying to scratch her face. He was thrown off balance a little, making Tony roll his eyes. "How about I'm not your scratching post, girl?" He asked with a smile on his face. He then checked Eden's girth to make sure it was tight enough before climbing up onto her. Then, the two walked around the ring for a warmup. Tony was getting warm in his red t-shirt and blue jeans, but he had to expect that since it was summer. After going around the ring a few times, Tony pushed her into a soft but quick trot. Then he brought her back down to a walk. "Good girl," he said, patting her neck softly. Tony looked around at the new place he was at. Today was his first day riding out there, and he felt kind of nervous. He knew absolutely no one and felt like a loner. Tony was actually hoping for a little company while riding.

Haylynn finished strapping up Charley's saddle and bridle. She smiled and rubbed his neck before heading to the arena, today she was just gonna work on getting her seat a little better at the lope. She stopped when she saw someone in the ring and asked, "Mind if we join you?" She said with a smile, if the guy wanted to be alone she would just go to the other arena, she really wanted to ride today.

Tony smiled at the girl who walked into the arena. Good, finally someone new to meet. "I don't mind. I'm Tony, by the way, and this is Eden." His smile got bigger, the one that always made girls swoon. He knew it wouldn't be long before he had this girl like puddy in his hands. Eden whinnied at the other horse and threw her head a little.

Hyle smiled and walked into the arena, she smiled and quickly checked Charley's girth before mounting and then smiled at the guy. "Nice to meet you, I'm Haylynn but everyone just calls me Hyle." She said with a smile patting the appaloosa's neck, "And this is Charley." She smiled looking down at the gelding she rode, his head was up and he was looking eager but not in a bad way. When the other horse whinnied Char nickered and swished his tail. Hyle laughed and clucked Char instantly went into a fat walk. "Eden's pretty." She said with a smile as Charley walked around he arena a little more.

Tony smiled as Hyle introduced herself. She looked to be a little bit younger than him, but Tony didn't really notice. Hyle then commented on Eden, saying she was pretty. "Thanks!" He then pushed her into a fast trot. After going around the arena like that once, he then pushed her into a canter. He counted the beats of the hooves hitting the ground to make sure the pacew was okay. Then, after going around the arena a few times, he pulled her back down to a trot. Tony pushd his hips forward whenever Eden picked up her rail leg. Then, he pulled her down to a walk and patted her neck again. "So, you've been riding here long?" Tony asked Hyle as walked up to her. Eden whinnied at the horse and swished her tail. Tony then fixed his reigns to make sure they were tight enough.

Hyle smiled and asked Charley to trot, after awhile at a trot she clucked and moved her hips and the gelding lunged into a lope. She let the gelding pick his own path her only job was to get her seat strong and herself moving fluidly with the horses movement. After she was happy with the movement she asked him to stop in the middle of the ring and back a few steps and looked at him, "Not to long about a month." Hyle smiled and patted her horses neck happily and rested her arms on the horn of her saddle letting her reins hang loose, Char wasn't going anywhere he was relaxed after the lope around.

Tony nodded his head. "This is my first week here. Seems like a good place already, though." He smiled at Hyle. The wind blew, rustling Tony's hair a little. Eden tried to sniff Charley, but Tony quickly pulled her back to avoid any fights that she could start. It wouldn't be the first time. Tony could feet himself getting warmer as the sun shifted above them. It once again got in his eyes and he had to squint awkwardly. He should have brought his sunglasses. "Man, I like summer, but if only it wasn't hot." He smiled once again at her.

Hyle smiled and rubbed her horses neck, "That's cool this is the second time I've rode since I've been here first time was a trail." She said with a smile and then laughed a little at what he said, she clucked and turned her horse around, then nudged him into a trot and said. "Yeah well summer does tend to do that!" She sat back and asked the horse to stop and had him pivot back around to face him. "We could go on a trail ride, its always cooler on them." She said with a smile, she liked trail riding.

Tony watched as she rode around the arena, keeping the smile on his face. When she suggested the trail ride, he quickly nodded. "Yeah, that sounds like fun! Eden would love it." As if she spoke english or something, she bobbed her head up and down. Tony patted her neck and said, "Doesn't that sound like fun, girl?" Then Tony looked up at Hyle again. He ran a hand through his hair, making it a little bit more messier than before. A fly buzzed by his face and he swated at it, squinting his eyes again as the sun got in his eyes.

Hyle grinned and patted Char's neck, she smiled and looked at him again. "Yeah I have only been out on a couple rides since I've been here but the trails are beautiful." She said with a smile clucking and leaning forward to let Char walk to the gate when she reached it she leaned down and opened it. She smiled over her shoulder, "Sounds like she thinks we should go." Hyle went out and turned Char to wait for the other two.

Tony followed after her. He leaned down, keeping the gate open, and steered Eden out of the arena. Eden walked awkwardly on the gravel. It obvoiusly bothered her hooves. Tony looked at Hyle, smiling again. "I think Eden would rather pick trail riding over showing any day." The two walked over to Hyle and Charley. "You'll have to show me around the trails since I've never been on them." Eden bobbed her head up and down once again, ready to go on the trails. Then she flicked her tail, trying to keep all of the flies away from her. Tony rubbed her neck soothingly, but still kept his eyes on Hyle.

Hyle smiled and patted Char's neck again looking over her shoulder as Tony came out of the arena. She laughed and nodded, "Yeah I think Char likes it better on the trails too, next week its training time though! I get to start learning Mounted Shooting." She said with a grin, she loved that sport and Char was already trained for it do it was really her that had to train for it. Hyle smiled looked at the trails, "Okay I don't know them all that well but a little better then nothing." She said with a laugh and clucked asking Char to trot down one of the paths. She rested one hand on her leg and held the other above the horn, she glanced over her shoulder and called, "Ya comin or what?" She said in a joking tone, before turning back down the trail.

Tony was impressed that she was going to do Mounted Shooting. Even Tony hadn't learned that. She then put Charley into a trot and she called over her shoulder, "Ya comin or what?" in a joking tone. Tony pushed Eden into a trot and followed after her. Eden was quickly excited to go on a trail ride, and her trot was fast and a little uneasy. Tony pulled her back a little once he caught up with Hyle. He tried to keep her at a steady pace so he wasn't either too ahead of her or too behind her. "What's your best discipline?" Tony asked, turning his head to look at her.

She smiled and looked at him a moment before answering. "Does trail count? I don't know anything really, my sister does she does English showing. Me I do trail." She said with a smile, she liked trail riding and nothing had ever got to her like the thought of Mounted SHooting and Trick riding, she loved the idea of doing that! Hyle looked down the trail and then to the appaloosas neck and smiled, she hadn't really met anyone since she moved here and was happy to have met someone finally.
