Mackenzie James walked down the path from the stable to the lunging rings. The day was warmish but not hot, chilled but not cold. The skies were perfectly clear with no clouds in sight. Mackie's curly brown hair flowed beautifully around her shoulders. She wore tight dark blue jeans, tight black shirt that showed the tattoo she had on her lower back. Patch danced next to Mackie, whipping his head and pulling trying to go faster. "Oh calm down you big baby," she said rolling her eyes at him. She opened the gate letting Patch into the large lunging ring. She let him run around on his own for a moment, before picking up a lead rope in one hand. "Get goin'" she said and Patch moved to the outside when she flicked her rope at him. He moved to a slow gallop and bucked a few times. "Hey boy mellow out a bit okay" she said to him with a laugh watching him gallop around her. She watched his black and white body ripple and glistening the sunlight. He was breath taking running in his circles. Anyone could say he was part Arab even though he wasn't some times he looked it. Patch jumped and panicked at something that only he could see, "easy my pretty boy" she coed to him sweetly. He snorted and slowed down to a trot before stopping and walking in and nudging Mackie. "Hey my lovely" she said stroking his black face. She had a spiechle connection with horses that most people didn't, but she had an extremely close connection with Patch. When she had first saw him she begged and whined for weeks before she got her step dad to give in and buy the yearling. Patch never liked anyone but Mackie and her brother Mac. But she was the only one who could ever get on his back, he would freak if anyone else tried to ride him. She stroked his neck and then patted it. "Get boy" she said smiling and shooing him out into the ring again. He whipped his head and bucked a few time speeding up to a fast gallop. "Easy" she said and he reined himself in to a gallop. He bucked again and then spooked again at a leaf falling from a nearby tree. "Your such a spazz" she said lovingly to him. He stopped and pranced into her and draped his head over her shoulder. "Hey boy" she said smiled hugging his neck tightly. She patted him and then looked into his eyes before leaning her forehead on his.

Cassie checked the time on her iPhone. She still had an hour before the trailer arrived with Dante and all her tack. She wandered around the academy, liking what she saw. She arrived at the lunging rings. In one of the rings was a gorgeous coloured horse and a girl, his owner, Cassie presumed. As she watched, the horse walked over to the girl and the girl wrapped her arms around his neck, making Cassie smile. She wandered over to the edge of the ring witout saying anything, not wanting to interrupt their special moment.
(hope its ok i comment, i'm new? :L )

Mackenzie took four deep breaths, still looking into Patch's warm eyes. He flicked his ears and sighed relaxed, like he always did when she was calm. "I don't care what anyone says' your perfect in every way." She said rubbing his jaw. He snorted and looked out of the corner of his eye, seeing him do that made Mackie look out the corner of her eye. She smiled to herself when she noticed someone standing there. 'Be polite Mackenzie' she could almost hear her brother saying to her. She patted Patch between the eyes and said "Go play." He snorted and started dancing around the pen like trained dancer, she smiled her perfect smile as he danced around her. She looked over at the new girl. "Hey I'm Mackenzie James." She said holding her name like a title, but where she came from her name was a title. Patch spooked (again) at something only he could see. "And the spazzoide over there is Jumpin' For The Stars" she said pointing to cantering black and white horse. Patch snorted like he was insulted by her comment. "Now ya mind ya manners Patchy boy." She said to the horse and he whipped his happily. Like in getting her to speak to him he was winning an unspoken war between them. She rolled her eyes and smiled. As long as she was with her pretty boy she could find in herself to be nice. (Hi Blaze yeah its good and Welcome To Saddle UP!)

The pretty girl in the ring introduced herself as Mackenzie. Her horse was Jumpin' For The Stars. Cassie ran her hands through her long blond ringlets, and smiled, showing off her perfectly straight white teeth. She tossed her hair back, over her shoulder. "Hey, I'm Cassie Williams." She walked even closer to the ring, resting her arms on the fence and watching the black and white horse cantering around happily. "I'm new here..." Cassie thought she probably sounded stupid, so quickly complimented Mackenzie "You're horse is stunning!" She smiled again.

Mackie smiled, more to herself then anyone else. "Nice to meet you." She said with a smile. She beamed and went back to watching Patch canter around her, she already knew he was stunning. But it still made her beam with pride, that her boy could get almost anyone to compliment him. She smiled and nodded. "Yeah he is. And the big show off knows it too." she said more to her horse then Cassie. Then snapping into her well mannered self, she turned to face Cassie. "So your new. Do you have a horse?" She asked whith geniune curiosty. She may be a sorta snob but she still loved horses no matter who owned them. Cassie seemed nice enough, but not many people liked Mackie that much, so she was always wery with trying to make friends. Her only true human friend was Mac her brother. But she made up her mind here and now she would try to make some friends.

Cassie sighed and watched Patch canter around, wishing her Dante was here. She couldn't wait to see him, to run her hands through his thick mane and get on his back. "Yeah, I do have a horse, Dante's Inferno. He's a pure bred Andalusian... and I'm in love with him!" Cassie panicked for a minute, worried she sounded ridiculous. She wasn't normally nervous around people, but this new yard, new people, new horses... she found herself smiling nervously at Mackenzie. Cassie thought Mackenzie seemed pretty nice. She'd only been there 5 minutes and had already found someone ok. Not bad.

Mackie smiled and nodded. "Andalusians are very beautiful horses." She laughed lightly and her eyes brightened. "Its always nice when we get our dream horses and its always nice to see someone who is in love with their horses." Mackie said smiling a smile that reached her eyes. "My brother is rather inoarsal to horses, as long as they don't throw him off they're good enough for him." She said with a sigh. She always thought her brother narrow minded that he couldn't see each horse could mean the world to someone like her to anybody for that matter. She whistled and Patch snorted and trotted into her. "Hey sweet boy." She said to him and let him drape his head over her shoulder. He watched Cassie with large ice blue eyes. The exact opposite of Mackenzie's melted chocolate brown ones. Mackie smiled and rubbed his cheek. "Patch here is a pure bred American Saddlebred." She said proudly.

Cassie grinned when Mackenzie complimented Andalusians. Her Dante sure was the most stunning horse she'd ever seen. "I agree, I've never had a bond with a horse like I have with Dante. He's mental, yeah, but I still trust him completely." Cassie was glad she'd met another person who shared her love of horses. "To be honest, I'm counting down the minutes until he gets here... I can't wait to get him settled!" Patch watched Cassie with his big blue eyes. He really was a beautiful horse. "When he's here, you should come and see him!" She smiled at Mackenzie and felt a leap of excitement at all of the new possiblities for Dante and her.

Mackie smiled and continued stroking Patch's face. Mackie laughed and nodded in understanding. "Yeah Patch is the worlds biggest spazz!" She said with a laugh, she hugged his neck and added. "But he's my big baby." She said smiling and he nickered to her. Mackie nodded and smiled wide. "Yeah I bet you are. The day I got here, Patch was with me. No one else but me and Mac can handle him, so we had to bring him with us." Mackie said smiling, "I would probably lose it if I was ever away from Patch to long." She said with a laugh. SHe smiled wide. "Yeah that would be cool." She said with a bright smile. She decided that Cassie was actually a pretty cool person. 'Won't Mac be surprised that I was nice?' Mackie thought to herself.

"Awwww." said Cassie as watched Mackenzie and Patch. They were a good partnership. Cassie really liked Mackenzie. "Do you show in anything?" She asked, curious. "Dante and I show in showjumping -he's amazing!- and we've done cross country too. We've done a bit of dressage but he gets bored... he's more of a jumper!" She smiled. "I s'pose I should go and get the stall ready for him to settle in..." She waited for Mackenzie's answer.

Mackenzie smiled wide. "Yeah me and Patch do Show jumping, cross country and dressage. But Patch is working on the dressage cause he is a total crazy spaz." She said with a laugh. "My brother is great at eventing." She said smiling and then nodded. "Yeah okay. I'm almost done with Patch for the day, so maybe later I'll stop by and see Dante" Mackie said with a bright and energence smile.

"Aww, bet he's a great jumper!" said Cassie, looking at the gorgeous Patch. "Same, Dante sorta gets a bit distracted... he's much better to jump! It'd be great if you could come see him! He needs to get used to new people and horses... I'm really glad I met you, at least I know someone here now! See ya around, Mackenzie!" She said, before hopping down from the fence, waving and walking away.

Mackenzie smiled and waved. "Yeah ya later." She called after Cassie. "Okay boy let's get you groomed and turned out." She said leading the nutty horse out of the round pen. She trotted him back to the barn groom him for a while and then turned him out into the pasture. "there ya go boy. Go wild" She said with a smile and he did. SHe turned and jogged back up to the stable.
