Annabelle walked into the barn, inhaling the sweet smell of horses, bedding, and hay. Grabbing a grooming bucket on her way to her horses stall, she sauntered down the aisle, humming Back in Black. Upon reaching Titans stall, she grabbed his halter off the hook and slipped into the stall. Petting the obsidian colored gelding who turned and sniffed her arm. She put the halter over his head and started grooming him, the circular motions of the rubber curry calmed her a little bit. Being in a new place was a bit nerve wracking. Moving from his neck over his body and repeating the whole process on the other side, she hummed to him, his ears flicking from the hay to his owner, occasionally turning to nudge her. Moving from the curry to the stiff body brush, making the short firm strokes, brushing the dirt and loose hair from his dark coat. After she finished that, she gave him a treat from her pocket and led him out to the cross ties where she clipped him and put the grooming bucket away. Grabbing her english saddle, a dark green saddle pad, and bridle and carried it over to him. Titan looked curiously at the slim girl with the bulky tack and snorted. "Oh, really?" She laughed as she set the tack down and grabbed the pad and let him sniff it. Putting it in place and putting on the saddle, tightening the girth till it was snug and made sure the hair was flat. She unclipped him and removed his halter and slipped the dark leather bridle over the tall geldings ear and fastened the cavasson and and the throat latch and led him out of the barn.
