Settling In (Katie)

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Trish laughed while her and Katie left the office, "yeah why not I'm starving" she said, and then she trotted to the pasture down to the pasture, "Kickstart hey boy, you ready to see your new home?" she said as Kickstart prances up to her, and then she clipped a lead on his halter and lead him out of the pasture and waited for Katie to follow, while she waited out side the pasture, she started to stroke his blue black neck, she saw a few other horses out in a field, one was one was a deep black that looked reddish brown, then there was a very pretty buckskin to, a very thick sorrel horse, and then she saw a fjord pony down in the field, "he's cute" she said pointing to the little pony grazing along with the other two horses.


Barbie

She was walking one of the new lesion horses down to the pasture, Casanova let out a loud whinny when he saw the pasture and then I noticed what he was neighing at, Trish and Katie were getting their horses from the pasture, so that must be Light she thought, looking at the white Arabian mare standing next to Katie, and Casanova let out a loud whinny again trying to get the mares attention, and he started prancing, Casanova looked like pure Arab but was golden palomino like a QH, "oh hello girls, this is one of the new horses he just got here today" she said pointing to the beautiful palomino stallion standing next to her, she glanced into the field three other horses were already there and Casanova would be fine with the other horses in the field.

Katie looked at the little pony. "Yeah it is," she said cocking her head and looking at it when she heard a voice behind her. She turned her head to see Barbie. She gasped at the beautiful horse. "He's so pretty!" she eclaimed at the appraching couple. He almost looked arabian but something about him told her he wasnt. Light lifted her head while Katie snapped the lead rope onto Light's halter. Light whinnied and tossed her mane turning away from the newcomer. It wasnt that she didnt like him. It was just she wanted to play hard to get.

Trish smiled 'wonder what his name is?' she thought, when she haerd a horse niegh, and Kickstart returned it by letting out a very loud whinny, and the she turned to see Brabie walking down with a stallion at her side, "wow Barbie he's gorgsus, what is he?" she asked looking at the big palimino horse.

Barbie
she tugged on the stallions lead rope to tell him he was still being held, "yes he is isn't he?" she said patting him on the neck, "he is QH and Arab, he is one of our new lesion horses here," she said stroking his face, "oh and his name is Casanova and by his looks and the way he acts you can see why," she said laughing as the stallion neighed in Light's direction and whipped his head, "I see you have met some of our other lesion horses," she said nodding towards the horses in the field, and then she whislted and JJ trotted up to the fence, "girls I would like you to meet JJ he is one of our best horses here he will do anything for anybody, unless he has to go faster then a lope," she said smiling the pony was kinda lazy, "the sorrel is Lonestar, the black is Agustin, and the buckskin is Siempre Salvagje," she said as the other horses followed JJ up to the fence.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie laughed. "Yeah I can definetely see why," she said to barbie and then turning to Casanova, "You're your own Cowboy Casanova arentcha boy?" she smiled. "Your gonna have to work hard to win my girly though. She may already have a boyfriend," she added giggling and looking at Kickstart. She looked back at Casanova. 'So he is arab. well, partly.' she thought to herself. Kickstart was just as beautiful though. "hmm... maybe I'll have to ride him instead of Light oneday." At that Light turned around to look at everyone again and nudged Katie. "Kidding!" she said to Light. "but seriously... He's beautiful. And of course he cant beat my light in looks though." Light looked satisfied at that. Katie looked at the little pony that came up. "JJ is so cute," she smiled and stroked his neck rythmically just limply holding onto Light's lead rope. She wouldn't run away, Katie knew that. Light would stay for all the stallions.

Barbie

she laughed "yeah he is a big show off, yes she is very beautiful but I think I own a horse that might at least match her beauty," she said as Casanova let out a loud nicker towards Light, "that's his whole name Cowboy Casanova," she said laughing, "huh well I think Kick start is gonna have to try to keep Light's attention too, cause the handsome boy over there is also one of my stallions," she said pointing to the deep black cherry stallion "Agustin is a quit the competitor too," she said smiling, and unclasped Casanova's lead and as soon as he was free he went into a full gallop and bucking and rearing, Barbie laughed at the crazy stallion, "HM I wonder what kind of horse I ended up with?" she said watching him go crazy, "and yeah if you ever want to learn some western on a real western boy I can set you up for a ride on one of my horses here," she said pointing to the horses in the field, "if you girls don't mind waiting here I have to get a few more of the new horses and turn them out and if you would like to wait here I can go get them and then you can meet them, if you didn't mind waiting for a moment?" she asked, getting ready to head back for the horses she had to get.

Trish

Trish laughed at the fact that the horses full name was Katie had called him, "so you really are a cowboy Casanova," she said giggling, "really you have a horse that could match light? I know its not wonder I mean don't get me wrong she is very pretty but it would be hard to match Light" she said smiling, it was true Light made her think of a fairy tail horse, "I would certainly love to ride one of the western horses some time, I mean no one can replace my boy here but I like riding different horses some times," she said she had always been used to being on a different horse almost everyday when she was helping with race horses at her family's ranch, and then she smiled wide "I don't mind waiting I would love to meet some more of your horses!" she said, Barbie always had the prettiest horses.


(Agustin)


(Siempre Salvaje)

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

The horse Augustin was a very pretty black. He was really pretty. "Ive never ridden western..." she said in thought. "But it would be fun!" she turned to Light. "Gosh. Who knew my are would turn out to be the one all the stallions would fight for?" she said giggling. "I like the name Cowboy Casanova. I like the song too," she smiled thinking of the lyrics in her head on her "song nights" she would usually listen to that song.

Barbie

"OK well Katie if you ever want to try come let me know and I can give you a lesion on one of these guys" she said "well OK I will go and get the other horses while you girls get to know these guys," she said as she trotted back up the path to get the horses, she walked up to the trailer hey guys you ready to see your new home?" she asked the black horse tied to the trailer and the Brindle bay that was with him, she untied them and led them to the pasture, "girls this is Knight and this is Kara," she said pointing to the black and then the brindle, she let the gelding go first then the mare, "Trish I'm sure you remember Knight, Wonder's foal, she had with lightning about four or five years ago," she said patting Knight on the neck, he was very beautiful and a perfect mix between the two breeds, "well I have two more to get and then I think I will ride Wonder over a few jumps," she said turning and going to get Signet and Sierra, both had been there a while already, Signet had been shipped there before Barbie arrived and Sierra came there with Barbie cause she had bought her on her way there from a friend she knew, as she got to Signet's stall she let out a loud nicker to Barbie, "hey girl you ready to go for a run?" she asked a Signet whipped her head up and down, she headed towards Sierra's stall the black mare whinnied in delight she knew that she would get to go the pasture today, "OK girls let's go." she said leading them to the Pasture when it came into view, Sierra neighed loudly and whipped her head, and then started prancing around for side to side, Barbie tugged on her lead, "now knock it off you," she said smiling, Sierra was the most beautiful horse at Whispering Wolves, "this is Signet," she said pointing to the dapple palomino mare, "and this is Sierra," she said pointing to the blue black mare standing next to her prancing in place.

Trish

she laughed "I totally love that song too!" she said smiling as Barbie left when she came with the gelding and the mare, "wow look at Knight I can't believe how big he is now," she exclaimed looking the horse over the last time she had seen him he had been a clumsy little foal, and then she looked at Kara, "wow she is beautiful," she said looking at the brindle bay mare, "OK can't wait to meet the other two," she said as Barbie left to get the other two horses, "I wonder if one is the one she said would match Light in beauty," she said to Katie, and then when Barbie came back with the other two mares, Trish had to try not to drop her jaw at Sierra she was just plane gorgeous, "wow" was she said and then she turned to Light "I think the stallions ain't the only ones with some computation," she said raising her eyebrows as all the stallions answered Sierra's loud whinny, "is she a flirt like Light?" she asked looking back at the white mare standing next to Katie, and then back to the tall black mare, 'I wonder if her and Light are gonna get along?' she thought to herself.


(Knight)

(this is what kind of brindle Kara is)

(Signet)


(Sierra)

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie looked the all over. "They are so beautiful!!!" she exclaimed. She was a bit jealous though. That mare was beautiful. "Well, Light got a headstart. Sierra'll have to keep up." Light didn't look very happy. She seemed to know she had competition but she was still being friendly to the mare. She walked up and Katie let her. Light sniffed the mare's muzzle and nudged her, but it was a friendly nudge. Katie just hoped Sierra would be nice to Light. Then Light would be happy and have a friend not fighting over her. Then they would be the couple every stallion chased after. Katie laughed. "I can see them prancing in the meadow every stallion chasing them. Is that bad?" she asked laughing. Light and Sierra wold be something to see though. Beautiful black and white, running side by side.

Barbie

"well thank you, I prize my horses for their skill and beauty," Barbie said, "yeah maybe she has with Kickstart, but Agustin has been here just as long as Sierra, I don't think even Light could steal him from her" she said patting Sierra on the neck, she dropped Signet's lead as she unclipped Sierra releasing her into the pasture, when she slipped her halter off, "get, get" and Sierra took off at a full blown gallop and then she reared and neighed as loud as she could and then she an threw the other horses and got them all to run with her in the front, by this time Signet was running fast along with them, Kickstart neighed and started dancing around Trish, "why don't you two let them run with them for a minuet, let Light get a feel for herd running," she said gesturing for the girls to let the two horses go, "only for a sec I think Sierra is challenging Light to a race," she said as Sierra threw a few bucks and whipped her head, as she ran past Light, "I mean can let them run if you want," she said leaning on the fence watching the crazy mare go nuts.

Trish

Trish smiled, "Kara is such a unique color," she said patting Kara as she leaned over the fence towards her, "wow look at Sierra!" she said pointing to the mare running around the field like a wild mustang, she got all the other horses following behind her, "she couldn't out run Kickstart if he didn't want her too." she said, as the all the horses took off after her, and when Barbie suggested for them to let their horses run, she released Kickstart again and he went to the front of the pack of the horses, "that's what he would do on the track, he would leave them in the dust," she said smiling as he went right past Sierra, she let out a loud whinny and took off faster then Trish had ever seen a horse go in the paster, "how bout Katie? Light ever run with a herd before?" she said, hopping to see Light run with the other horses.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie sighed. She didnt want to see her expensive horse get beat. Though Light was almost as fast as Kickstart. Maybe she could beat the crazy mare. "No.... But I guess she can start now!" She said smiling as she let Light go again. Light ran right past Sierra and up to Kickstart. Light didnt care if Sierra went for the other stallions anymore. She wanted Kickstart. Light nuzzled Kickstart then ran back upto Sierra and sniffed her again. Trying to make friends. Katie knew her horse. Light wasnt gonna stop until Sierra was her best friend, or worst enemy. SHe was just like that.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Barbie

Barbie smiled, as Light took off after the other horses and going straight to the front with Kickstart, "well you certainly have a fast horse there" she said watching Light, Kickstart whipped his head pulled down to a slow gallop, he had won the race and he was happy and content, and Agustin trotted up to the other horses whipping his head and nickering lightly, he dropped hid head and pinned his ears when Kickstart got close to Sierra and Siempre Salvaje, and then nudged them into a canter he didn't care about Light, just his two mares, "well Light lost his attention," Barbie laughed as the stallion pushed his mares away from the big TB, but Sierra just nipped him and trotted back over to Light, and then she poked her and took off again neighing, "I think she likes Light" she said watching the black play around Light and whinny at her, "and I don't think she likes Agustin bossing her around," she laughed as she watched the stallion try again to herd away from the two new stallions, Casanova was busy trying to get all the mares attentions, he started trotting around Light and Sierra, and Kickstart charged him and cause he was a lot bigger then Casanova, the Arab back off and started prancing around Kara and Signet, "he don't give up easy does he?" she said watching the palomino prance around the mares "I may just have to breed him some time with Kara, bet they would make a really nice lookin' foal, and when Sierra is older I plane on breeding her with Agustin," she said watching all the flirting going on between the horses, "well I think I will go do some jumping with Wonder, you two may take any stalls you want in the barn, or you can leave these guys to there play a while longer but I must go, I have a little time for a ride before I have to be back at the office." she said in a more serious tone, and biting them goodbye she left back for the barn.

Trish

Trish smiled as the horses went around the field, "I think it would take a lot to get Kickstart to lose interest in Light," she said watching as Kickstart ran Casanova away from Light, Agustin seemed like he didn't even want other mares around Sierra. "Light sure acts like a lead mare," she said smiling, and whistling for Kickstart, "yeah see you later Barbie, and I would like to groom Kickstart and then go relax in my room for a while." she said, as Kickstart pranced up to her and she took him out of the pasture again, and waited to see if Katie was gonna get Light, "so you want to take these guys to the stable and then head to the room and get some food? and listen to some music?" she asked, waiting for Katie.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie smiled watching the horses. Light started running ariund Sierra, but Katie still wanted to take Light inside. "Yeah, I guess we better go before all the good stalls get taken. Light will miss Sierra though, I'll tell you that," Katie whistled for Light and Light knew what that meant. Light nuzzled Sierra good-bye and kicked out her back right leg when she passed Casanova, just to make sure he didn't follow. She walked up to the fence and Katie hopped over and put the lead rope on Light's halter. Katie opened the gate and walked out with Light, closing it behind her. "Yeah, seeing her it's almost as if she was born for lead mare. And you know what's funny? I think Kickstart and Agustin will get along fine.... But... I'd watch out when Casanova is around. And Sierra can keep the stallions off her. She's strong enough. I can tell," KAtie said half-jokingly as she looked out over the horses. She missed them already and now she practically lived with the horses! "Yeah come on let's go..." Katie said leading Light over to the stables. She walked inside and then stopped in the doorway waiting for Trish. "You can pick Kickstart's first. I'll just put Light next to him," she said waiting. She stroked her beautiful White arab and looked adoringly at her. She loved her horse, no matter what happened or what anyone said.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Trish smiled at the sight of Light and Sierra, they were already friends 'that's good that they are friends' she thought "yeah to bad they won't be in the same stable," she said, Sierra was a lesion horse so she would be in the lesion barn not the boarder barn, "yeah Agustin seems friendly enough, just as long as no one gets close to his mares, Casanova seems to be in for some trouble with Kickstart, he's not to keen on him getting around Light," she said smiling, "yeah Sierra seems like she is the boss around here not the stallions" she said laughing, and walking into the stable she found an empty stall that was next to Wonder and Lightning's stalls, they were Barbie's horses, "here are some open stalls over here," she said to Katie, as she slid into one and let Kickstart into it so he could look around, Wonder and Lightning poked their heads out of their stalls and nickered to Trish, "hey guys long time no see," she said patting them both on the neck, "Katie these are Barbie's horses Lightning and Wonder, they are Knight's mom" she said patting Wonder's neck "and dad" she said patting Lightning on the neck, "so you ready to head over to the dorm I want to unpack and listen to some music," she smiling, and patted the two horses on the neck again before giving Wonder and Kickstart a quick hug, "I want to see if we can find a place to get some pitzza from," she said as she waited for Katie's reply.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie stroked the two horses after Trish. "They are so pretty.... gosh, so is every horse here!" she exclaimed twirling in a circle looking at all the horses. Katie turned Light in a circle and let her in the stall across from kickstart's. Light seemed to like it and stepped right into it. Katie circled her around and took off her halter and lead rope and hung it on a nail outside her stall. "Okay yeah lets go. Im so hungry!" she said prancing up to the door of the stables after locking Light's stall door. She stroked Kickstart on the way to the door and then turned and waited for Trish.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

she smiled "yeah Barbie prizes her horses on their skill and beauty so she has a lot of beautiful horses," she said walking to the door with Katie, "so you think we can find a place to order a pitzza from?" she asked as they walked towards the dorm building, she stopped and grabed her bag out of the truck giving her dad a hug, before calling Cazna and Sassy to come with her and Katie to the dorms.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie thought for a moment. "Yeah I bet we could, i mean, it's a really common food so that would just be plain wierd if we couldn't find pizza..." she said logically almost laughing at herself. She couldnt help but reach down and pick up one of the dogs on the way to the dorms but she kept on walking and then switched dogs. She put the last dog down and watched them follow. They were so cute...

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

she laughed as they walked "yeah hopfully I love pitzza" she said, and then Sassy ran up to her side, "hey girl" she said resting her hand on her head as they walked, up towards the dorm, "I am so ready to relax a little," she said smiling.

(so where to now? )

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

(To the dorms! XD)

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

NEXT DAY
Trish walked into the stable giving her three toned whistle to Kickstart and then she heard his uniqe whinny he had just for that whistle and then she trotted down to his stall witch right next Light's and Barbie's two horses, she hugged Kickstart and then noticed Barbie walking out of the stable with Wonder and aother girl, "hey Barbie hows it goin?" she asked "good I am letting Kesha here take Sasha out for a test ride," she said "OK cool see around I guess," she said turning back to Kickstart, she cross tied him and started to work on his blue black hide, the 18 hand stallion towered over her, "you sure are a big boy aren't you?" she said to him and he whipped his and neighed in agreement, making her laugh, 'luckily I'm not wearing a hat I'd never keep it on' she thought as she worked on his hooves.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie followed Trish to the stables again and stopped by Light when Trish stopped by Kickstart. She climbed into Lights stall and just quickly put the camera on a high shelf up in the stall. She jumped a few times before she reached it but once she did it was fine. She turned and grabbed Lights grooming box and began to curry Lights coat, followed by the hard brush, soft brush, and picking her hooves out. When she was done she put Light sgrooming box back and went to get Lights tack. WHen she came back she put Lights tack on her and lead her out into the middle of the aisle. "Ready to go?" She finally spoke up to Trish since getting to the stable. SHe hadnt even noticed Barbie, she was so hard at work with Light.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

She finished grooming Kickstart and ran the grooming box back to the tack room, grabbing her western saddle and bridle, "hey boy you ready for a nice long trail ride today?" she asked him, and he whipped his head, "your such a gooft old man" she said and then turning to Katie "yeah I am so ready" she said and then she saw some one walking into the stable with a appaloosa horse, "Omigod Simon is that you?" she asked him.

SIMON
"hey Trish its so nice to see you again" he said giving her a huge "and of course you remember Music" he said pointing to his mare, and then he noticed Katie "oh and what beautiful young lady do I have the plasure of meeting today?" he asked her, he cought Trish rolling her eyes at him witch made him smile even more.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie smiled at Trish. "Great," she said to trish. She was about to walk Trish out when someone else walked in. She looked him over and decided he looked pretty good. He was tall; which katie liked. Katie decided to play cool though, and rolled her eyes. "I'm Katie," she said to him. "Nice horse," she added walking Light to satnd by the new horse. She pretended not to pay attention to the boy Trish called Simon, and stroked the horse. She couldnt help but to smile and mouth 'he's so hot!' to trish behind simon's back. She out her hand on her hip and turned to Simon. "Are you gonna come trail riding with us?" she asked him with a cocky expression. She was always a flirt, but she knew guys like Simon. He was probably like this to all girls.

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Trish laughed a little when when Katie mouthed to her, and when Simon tuned away 'yeah I know' she mouthed back, "oh yeah Katie this is Simon, and this is Music" she said patting Music on the neck, "yeah you can come it would be fun we are gonna meet up with Kayla while were out," she said smiling at Katie and shacking her head.

SIMON
He smiled "thanks she's an Appaloosa, I also have her twin foals with me," he said stroking the mares neck, and the running is figure down is chin and looking from Light to Katie, "hmm.. I don't witch is prettier, your horse or you" he said smiling a half smile, and then he thought for a minuite "yeah maybe after I get all my info and dorm number, how bout' I meet you guys up there?" he said looking for a stall for his mare.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie smiled back at Trish trying not to get caught at their secret little conversation. "Well, nice to meet you Music," I say to the horse pretending again not to notice Simon. "Thanks, she gets that alot," I say to Simon about Light. I don't like to brag, so I decided not to say how much I got that. "Kay, sounds good." I say watching him look for a stall. "There's one next to Light, across from Wonder," I say pointing out the stall next to Light's. After pointing out to Simon I bring Light next to Trish. "Okay, Lets go!" I say bringing my riding helmet up to my head and strapping it on. I walk Light outside and mount. I fix my riding gloves and wait for Trish.

(after you post let's move it to the trails topic)

[KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!!]

Trish
"k that works for me" she said walking out of the barn and putting on her gloves she hopped onto Kickstart and as soon as she was on he threw three really big crow hops "easy boy" she said, it wouldn't do any good this was him he liked to buck right after she got on him, and when he stopped and she rained him in a bit, "so you ready to warm?" she asked heading to the arena and entering, she worked him at a walk, then a trot and then a canter, there was a small jump in the arena and she took him over the 2 foot jump "well that should do it I am ready for a nice long ride" she said moving toward the trial at an even trot.

SIMON
"oh thanks" he said moving toward the stall that Katie had pointed out, and after the girls left the barn "so what so ya think Music? you like that girl?" he asked and Music whipped her head and nickered softly "yeah me too" he said quirtly. and left to get the two 6 month old foals finding a small pasture he let them go into it they had their snow blackets on and they loved the snow so he left in the pasture while he went to find Barbie, "hey aunt Barbie, can I leave right now I kinda wanted to catch up with Trish and Katie on their trail ride, so I want a dorm and I would like to learn barrel racing is that everything you need to know?" he asks "yeah go ahead" she said smiling he was sweet on Katie, she knew that for sure.

[musicluva789 LOVES KM!!!]

Katie smiled when Trish joined her. "Okay lets go warm up." She followed Trish and waited wile trish jumped the 2 ft jump. She followed Trish gracefully keeping her position perfect. Light soared over it, landing quite good. When she finished Katie brought Light up to Kickstart and Trish. Light gave Kickstart the eye, as if telling him thats how a good horse behaved. She whipped her mane as Katie brought her to a trot to the trails in the woods. She zipped her coat up tight and put her hood over her helmet, though she knew it wouldn't stay on long.

(I'll go post in the trails now.)

(K and by the way Kickstart is in a western saddle)
