My already poofy blonde hair was a total fuzzball in this humidity and to top it all off I had lost my hair band great! I really hate my hair sometimes, it's frizzy and poofy after I brush it (which takes a really long time) and if I forget to wash my hair it becomes flat and disgusitng. I wore a black tank top that nade me look a little bit slimmer than I really am and light blue cut off denim shorts that come to just above my knee. I carefully opened the door to the office and stepped in "Hello?"

Betsy
Watching the student walk in dragged me into my lines. "Hello, welcome to Starry Skys. What can I do for you today?" I knew by her look that she was a new student here an of course I knew what she wanted but whatever. My bright orange and green eyeshadow stared at her, daring her to answer.
Molly
Today was my first day at my new barn and I couldn't wait to get started! My hair was in complete curls and bounced and as I entered the office. "Hi! I'm Molly the new student!" I turned in the direction of another girl who looked the same age. "Are you new here too?" I knew by the look at her that we would be friends! She looked cute in her kapree shorts and tank top. I looked down at my clothing, a purple v-neck tank top and a pair of short jean shorts that didn't even come to the end of my hands. I wore no makeup on my face and had some black riding boots at the end of my legs.

I grinned brightly at the girl who had just come in "Hi I'm Sam." I spoke energetically, with my voice all you know energeticy before turning back to the receptionist. "Um I'm here for my first riding lessons here." My tone suddenly nervous, the woman kind of scared me and her unnaturally orange hair and green eye shadow kind of hurt my eyes. To avoid going blind or somthing I turned back to Molly and gave her a 'wow that woman is weird' look and waited for the receptionists reply.

Betsy
Rolling my eyes at the two girls, I bent down over my computer and searched through the files. "I'm guessing you two are Molly and Samantha." Printing out two copies of sceduals for the girls. Sliding them over the counter I said, "You two have a lesson in an hour. Outdoor ring is that way." I ponted to the ring. "I suggest you hang around the barn till the lesson. Also, you are sharing a dorm room. Number 18 on floor 2. Goodbye." I tried to rush through my speach and quickly headed into the back room before any more questions came.
Molly
I laughed at the face she had given me and picked up the copy. "Wow, we will be riding together!!" I couldn't even begin to explain how excited I was! "Come on, we can go hang out in the barn together. Oh, do you want to meet my horse? She is amazing and I love her!" Grabbing Samantha's arm and our keys to the room, I jogged out of the room and headed for the barn.

I giggled happily as we jogged down the barn isle. I had never made a friend so quickly. usualy it took me weeks to make one kind of friend, but Molly and I had really hit it off. We approached the stall of Molly's horse. She was a shining liver chestnut, a morgan for sure (yeah I'm one of those horse freaks who purs over pictures of different horse breeds until I can recognize them by sight. But aren't we all?) she slowly turned her head revealing a white stripe, when she saw Molly she let out a loving nicker and walked to the stall door "She's gorgous. Whats her name?"

Imeadietly seeing Molly brought a smile to my face. I liked how interested Samantha was about her. "This is Molly, full name: Moonview Monopoly! I love her to death!!" I could tell we were going to be close, very close friends. "Do you have a horse?" We petted Molly for a while untill our instructer showed up.
Gena
I walked down to the barn where Betsy had told me my new students would be waiting. "Hi! I'm Gena, your instructor!" Looking beside them, I saw Molly. She was one of their horses and I needed to find a horse for Samantha. "Samantha, let's find you a lesson horse for you." We walked over to the stalls filled with all sorts of lesson horses. "I don't usually do this but here is a sheet of their bio's. (hands her a sheet of lesson horses). If there is one that sounds interesting, I will aproove or disaproove."

I laughed lightly when Molly told me her horses name. "That's cool you horse has the same name as you." When people learned of my obsession with horses they always asked me the same question "do you own a horse?" and always my answer was... "no." I said with a sigh. I looked over and saw a woman walking towards us. She was our riding instructor, I could just kind of tell. I began looking down the sheet of horses. One caught my eye a silver dappked Andalusian. "May I ride Silver Belles?"

Gena
"Hmm, I think we should stick to less advanced horses untill I know of your riding abilities. Also, Silver might hurt Molly, Molly, or you." I felt bad that she couldn't ride her yet but I hoped she could understand. I saw Molly slip into her stall and begin to groom. "Here are some better choices..."

I felt my heart sink when I was told I couldn't ride Silver Belles, but I knew she couldn't risk it, I mean it would be pretty bad if someone died or something of the general sort. I tried not to look to disapointed and looked down the list. Sunny seemed cute but he was all western. I wanted someone who could jump, and do cross country but all the XC horses seemed to be in the advanced level. Both tigger and rose seemed nice, "Um which horse would be better, tigger or rose?" I looked up at Gena expectantly.

"Okay, here is the thing about Tigger. Tigger chooses his riders and it is the first part of being with him is to make him respect you. If you would rather ride him than Rose, I would suggest trying teaming up with him first. You can do that now if you would like, or ride Rose. We will be jumping today." I hoped she would like the idea of teaming up with him and he needed someone to bond with also.

"Sure." I smiled widely I was always up to something new or challenging. And working with a horse who you needed to really bond with was always something I liked, it made me feel... special. though if you ever get to know me you'll figure out that I'm pretty darn special, normal people don't have spazz attacks like me. I walked up to the stall, Tigger was absolutely adorable, with brown and white patches deorating his body. Sure he didn't look like Silver Belles he had a more subtle handsomeness. And of course the charming coat of a paint horse. "So what Next?"

I loved her excitment and it just about made my day! "Okay, we will bring him down to the lunging ring and let him loose. You will canter him around using the lunging whip untill he bends his head and flicks his ears. Then you will drop the whip and turn your back or sulk as some call it." I handed her a whip and lead rope. "lets go!"

I let Tigger of the lead line and he immeadiatly dropped his head to graze. Well try to anyway there wasn't much to graze on, maybe a few stray bits of grass. "come on boy" I clucked and cracked the whip, sending him out at a canter. His muscles rippling, he strode along smoothly, not missing a beat. until he suddenly decided he was bored with this and tried to come in. I cracked the whip and stared at him in the eye, which is aggressive horsey language, and doggie language, and who knows maybe even cat language. He looked a little suprised and contuinued along at the canter "So what happens if he dosen't like me?"

I watched as the rider showed skills with horses. I watched them work and saw how he respected her. Good even if he doesn't bond with her, he will let her ride him well. "I think he is already showing that he respects you. That is enough for him to let you ride." He cantered around and around untill he switched his ears and lowered his head. "Now!" I said, smiling at how sudden he chose to obay her. OOC: Do you want them to bond or wait and have a Tonka horse come into her life ?

I turned my back, lowering my head, I tried to make my self as relaxed as possible, but still every nerve was on end. I heard one foot after the other, slowly plodding towards me, everything seemed really quiet, even my breathing sounded non exsistent. Waaaait a moment, I took a breath... woops I had forgotten to breath... again... I could feel his breath behind me, tickling the hairs on the back of my neck. I turned around, to see his big eyes starring at me. "Hey boy, how are you?" I grinned gently stroking his face, I turned around and started walking, Tigger was right on my tail, his nose practically attached to my back. I started jogging and the pinto gelding was right behind me. I slowed to a walk then a halt, before slipping his halter on. "I'm going to groom and tack!" I grinned at Gena and walked out of the ring a new spring in my step.

GENA Watching him move to her was like a baby bird following it's mother. "Good job Samantha!" Tigger's eyes were wide and he looked at Samantha like a godess. "Okay, I will meet you up there in a sec.!"
MOLLY Molly was so good today and I couldn't wait to ride her like usual. When I brushed off her face, she closed her eyes and snorted lightly in pleasure. Going to the tack room, I picked up my saddle pad, saddle, bridle, and girth. Bringing them back, I set them on the nice wooden shelf beside the stall. Sam walked back into the barn and I imeadietly asked, "How'd it go?!"

OOC: Um I don't know, I think I'll have Anna keep the Tonka horse you made, Anna kind of reminds me of my sarcastic side, But I'm not sure if Sam will bond with tigger yet. Maybe a Monopoly like horse? idk.
SAMANTHA FLOCKER "It went great, it was sooo cute how he came up to me, his eyes were all big and adorable looking, and CUTENESS." I grinned, "I'm going to go groom and tack real quick! meet you in the ring." I smiled and lead the paint gelding into a stall. I rubbed the curry come over him in circles, laughing at how he stretched out his head and neck, his lips curling in pleasure. I picked his feet, and then tacked him up english, before heading to the ring.
OOC: do you want to move the post to one of the rings?
