(I love the name Flicka ^^)
Thunder grazed in the pasture, his tail swatting flies that came too close. He had lived at the ranch since he was born, he was there for three years. He had his own rider, and he competed in jumping competitions. He gulped down a mouthful of grass. He looked over towards the stable. He occupied the forth one. He nearly smiled at the sight of the 1 blue ribbon on the door. He wasn't new to show-jumping, but he wasn't one to compete. Suddenly he heard his name. Turning, he galloped towards the call. He arrived at the fence, and a male human smiled and lead him out of the pasture.
-
The human led Thunder into his stable, and reached for a brush. Thunder stayed still. He felt the brush gently running down his side. The human told him something about 'practice'.
-
After grooming Thunder stood with the human on his back at the start of the jumping course. His human kicked his flank. Thunder charged towards the first hurdle. He leapt and landed on the other side. He jumped many more, then he came to the last and hardest hurdle, 5 feet high. Thunder got all the speed and strength into his legs, and launched himself into the air. He had never fully completed this jump. But his leg got on it and he tumbled to the ground. He whinnied and lay on the ground, a scrape on his leg. The human took off his jacket, muttering quietly while examining his leg.
-
((Yeah i love the name!))
Chicho woke from a slumber in the stable as he heard a sharp whinne than many neighs, trying to peer over the larger door he let out few neights then lifting slightly onto hsi hind legs he peered over to see that stallion he assumbed was Thunder in the jump ring and laying on the ground raising a brown slightly he watched as the human slung off his jacket and ran towards the horse, his head then turning to see a large mare being dragged out the back of one of the more larger and more secure horse boxes. Tilting his head he assumed it was a new arrival. The young colt waited impatiently for his handler, Jake. To come and let him out into a pasutre. To pass time he decided he would grab a bite to eat so he did, lifting his head a little he began crunching hay from one of the higher points of the haynet.
Flicka let out a snort as she remained in the back of the trailer, her tail flicking to and fro and she slammed her sides slightly against the sides of the metal container and kicked at the small door that stopped her luning at the main car doors. Letting out many piercing neighs as the vehicle suddenly jerked to a stop. Snorting the large metal doors were slowly dragged open and blinding rays of light shone into the box, snorting once again she squinted her eyes slightly and kicked at the door. "Nicen' easy" one of the humans muttered as he grabbed the rope that was tied around her neck. Being led out the box she began rearing causing troubles for the human her hooves thudded the ground as another ran towards them. "Woah girl calm down!" he ordered in a calm tone patting her neck as she remained on all fours. Once being led into the pasture she kicked out her hind legs at the humans causing them to have to quckly lunge back and slam the gate shut. "Ok let her settle in first" one of the older men ordered as they walked away.
Snorting the black and white pinto mare began charging around the pasture, she noticed many other humans and horses around the ranch. But she didn't paw much attention. She was still practically wild since she had just been captured. She galloped around the pasture rearing, bucking and letting out deafaning neighs.
-
rhaine looked up as another mare was released into the same pasture as her. the mare was bucking and rearing and hadnt apeared to notice her yet. rhaine stood flicking her tail back and forth in the middle of the pasture. she also caught a glimpse of the foal and of thunder the black arabian who lived on the ranch. she turned her attention back to the new mare. rhaine herself had only arrived a few days before and she loathed the humans but she liked the other horse. she let out a whinny trying to catch the mares attention
-
Flicka came to a sudden stop at the sound of a whiine, snorting she whipped her head around in all directions. Soon spotting a horse smaller than herself not to far away. She let out a low whinne and bucked into the air, sending a metal bucket of water flying into the fence. The loud crash causing her to stop then flick her head. Stopping she shrugged slightly and turned back towards the mare in the distance, she also seemed to look a little wild. The pinto mares tail flicked to and fro as she swatted awy the annoying insects that had made an attempt to land on her. Flick looked at the other horse, a large black stallion who seemed to ne in another fenced in area, her gaze then on a small bay foal also with a human, snorting she fkung her head back neighing. Then turning the face the mare again.
The pattering of footsteps cause the bay foals head to whip up from the water bucket and he noticed it was Jake heading his way. Letting out a neigh the colt half reared in the stable as the bolt of the door was pulled along and in csme his human."Hey boy!" He smiled rubbing his hand down the foals neck, snorting he nodded his head and gently shoved the humans arm. "Ok, ok i'll take you over the jumps again" He smiled clipping the lead rope onto the foals harness, opening the gate and walking out, slightly slamming it behind them. The bay foal looked around and began prancing back and forth feeling sharp tugs he realized it was Jake trying to keep him in line but he was just to excited. Realizing they were heading towards the same course that Thunder was in he hoped he could watch the stallion jump also, maybe he could learn a thing or two.
-
rhaine whinnyed a greeting to the new mare. she trotted up, her long mane bouncing against her coat. "hello" she said as she gave another glance at the large black stallion. she had been watching him.
(can i make another character)
-
((Sure knock yourself out, make as many as you need..))
Flicka looked at the mare lowering a brow slightly she wasn't use to interacting with other horses much as she was usually thrown out herds for causing fights with the other mares. Gritting her teeth she backed away a little her tail flicking as she kept her posture tall and slightly dominant "Hello.." She muttered with another flick of her tail as she nodded her head slightly, then dragging her right front hoov across the grass causing small blades to shoot out. The pinto mares ears twitched as many unfamiliar sounds pierced through her ears, the only types of sound she could recognise were those of nature and other horses.
-
Rhaine noticed that the mare was standing tall acting dominant. Rhaine was a friendly mare but not a submissive one. So she drew her stance into a very dominant stance not as a tgreat or a guesture of anger just as a warning to the mare that she wasnt submissive. She listened as the mare greeted her in was seemed in an unsure voice. Rhaine took a sgep closer. Breathing in the scent of the mare so she would remeber it. She didnt know what else to say to the mare so she jsut stood there flicking flys off her coat

((I decided to make a stallion as there seemes to be many mares/fillys..))
((Just one more thing jazmin, this isn't really one of those 'horrible' ranches, all the pastures are practically filled with lushious grass etc..))
Flicka looked down at the mare and snorted, as the mare stepped forward. Slamming a hoof agains the ground she turned and trotted off flicking dirt up from her hooves. Grunting she excelled into a canter and ran towards the fence then skidding to a stop doing a small half rear. Thudding her hooves against the ground she peered around, her tail continuing to flick. Nodding her head once again she sharply turned and kicked at the fence, as she begun to sprint around the pasture letting out deathening and almost threatening neighs.
Chico pranced towards the gate and soon enough Jake opened it, letting out a low neigh he stepped into the sand filled arena where Thunder still seemed to be. "Hey!" He neighed slightly then followed Jake in the other direction; they seemed to be heading towards the smaller jumps. His tail flicking in excitement as he looked at the jumps he would be practicing on today.
Cujo heard the many sounds of the other horses and humans, snorting he whipped around in his stall and peered out, there seemed to be many new arrivals. The grey horse remained in his stall with his large head hung over the door as he stared at his surroundings. His tail flicking behind him and he banged his hoof against the door hoping to get someone to see to him faster; eventhough someone had only been 10 minutes ago. Cujo began nodding his head over the door then coming to a sudden stop as he watched all the horses.

(i know but like i said in my app isabelle is a very prissy mare and was used to the impeccible stalls of the spanish riding schools so she thinks anything in comparison is awful)

Cheyanne
Fear. Fear was all she could feel at the very moment. Just a few hours ago she was grazing with her herd, why her? Why did they have to come and ruin their lives? Her herd had done nothing to deserve this, they had never done anything bad. Now she would never see her sister of father again. She looked around the metal container then walked over to the small opening and peered out. She could see other horses and humans. The humans did this, they captured her family. She snorted then spun around when the large double doors opened "Come on Beauty." said a young man, about 23 with light blond hair, he reached out slowly. Cheyanne whinnied then charged at him "Woah!" he yelled as he fell on the dusty ground. Cheyanne whinnied again as she reared into the air "Hey Brian! Give me a hand here!" Once she was on all four hooves the man slung a lasso around her neck "Okay, What do you need me to do?" Cheyanne heard him behind her, what was he doing back there? She couldn't see him, what if he was planning on doing something to her? Out of instinct she up her back legs, throwing the human back against the trailer. She reared again "Woah girl! Billy! You okay!" Cheyanne snorted "Yeah, I'm fine..I think." The man who had a grip on her lead began to pull her along "It's okay Girl." he coaxed, Cheyanne was too afraid to do much else. Finally he put her into a small pasture that was empty, but there were two mares in the one next to her's. She charged in, and ran around, neighs ringing into the air.
(http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/NPLPOD/1127593.jpg)
Laika
The palomino filly ate the lush green grass that was in her pasture, she loved being outside with the other horses. Her head shot up when she heard neighs and whinnies "New arrivals." she said through chews, she watched as a black and white mare was lead into a pasture with Rhaine, another mare. Then a few moments later another mare, a palomino tobiano, was brought in. Laika reared in surprise when she sent Billy, her trainer, into the side of the trailer. She watched as she was led into an empty pasture "She really is wild." she said to herself as the mare ran around her pasture. Laika looked away, she remembered when she was taken away from her home and brought here, but she was quick to accept her new life here. She looked over to the jumping pen, Billy said he would take her there today, she saw Chico, another foal at the stables. "Hey Chico!" She whinnied as he was led around the course, even though she was a month older he was still slightly larger than her. She watched him jump for a few moer minutes before turning around and laying on the soft grass. She yawned the closed her eyes.
-
rhaine winnied to laika who she had taken a liking to her first day there. she trotted up to the fence that seperated her pasture from laikas. "hello little one" she said

Laika
Laika slowly opened her eyes, the sound of another mare's voice "Hi." she peeped. She got up on her hooves, she hadn't really talked to this mare that much even though Laika has been her for about three months. Before she could continue the conversation Billy came up to her pasture "Hey Laika, ready to jump?" he said with a smile. Laika whinnied then trotted over to the gare, nuzzling her forehead into his hand. She adored Billy, he was so kind and gentle. He clipped her light blue lead onto her matching bridle and lead her to the jumping corral. When they got there Thunder was on the ground with his rider looking at his leg "Hey! Is Thunder okay?" Billy asked "I think so, going to have the vet check him out though." Laika looked at him then to Chico who was still jumping. Billy lead her over the small jumps, she jumped over them effortlessly "You're going to make quite a jumper one day." he chuckled. Laika whinnied happily, before bumping into Billy gently. Billy smiled then rubbed her forehead and fed her a sugar cube "Want to go through it again?" Laika neighed then followed Billy.
-
rhaine looked up agressively as the human came over to laikas pasture. she bared her teeth and tensed up. ashe loathed the humans. rhaine had been here for a short periode of time and still didnt like the ranch. she looked to the new mare in the pasture with her and decided to also run around she joined the mare vucking and rearing like a earling
-
Thunder was let into the pasture. He saw an agressive looking mare on the other end. He walked lightly over, trying to look as uninjured as possible. He stood at about 20 feet away, waiting for her to calm down. Thunder tried to hide his bandage by taking it off. He kicked grass over it. His wound has healed, gratefully.
-
rhaine calmed down as soon as the humans were gone. she noticed thunder looking at her from his pasture she walked over "hello" she nickered
-
((Rabbit is accepted))
Flicka came to a sudden halt and stared at the mare who seemed to have just arrived, then being put into a pasture beside the one she was in. Snorting she then looked at the young foal with a smile, lunging around again she noticed the smaller mare join her. Grunting she flicked her head forward and continued to lunge around. Noticing the female had stopped to talk to a black stallion. Stopping she nodded and shot the stallion a smile. Then cantered around again.
Chicos head whipped around as he heard someone say his name, a huge smile grew across his face as he realised it was Laika nodding "Hey Laika!" He neighed half rearing slightly then following Jake across the jumps. His long legs allowing him to jump over them with ease "At it boy! You're great already, who knows how good you'll be in years to come!" He smiled as he continued to run the young colt over the hurdles. Then stopping to notice Billy enter with the young palamino filly. "Hey Billy, quite the jumper you have there!" Jake muttered looking at the young fae, then being pulled by Chico as he lunged over other jumps.
Cujos head whipped around to see a new mare arriving, nodding his head he then whipped around to see Amelia heading into his pasture holding a lead rope, he knew today was his training day and his tail flicked as she drew closer. For some reason he had a softer spot for the females and tended not to hurt them as much. "Its alright boy.." She smiled slowly sticking out her hand allowing him to sniff it, then running her hand up his face and clipping the rope onto his headcollar. Snorting he jerked back slightly then reared legging out a neigh. "Woah boy!" She shouted pulling the rope and his hooves thudded the ground. "That's is.." She smiled as he calmed down, running a hand across his neck she began to lead him out.
-
He stood tall, trying to look impressive. He pricked his ears forward, trying to look at least a bit handsome, "Hello there. What is a beautiful mare like you doing alone?"
-
rhaine perked her ears it soundedas if thunder liked her to. "i got captured and brought here not to long ago" she replied " i never had a mate either she continued"
-
(http://images.wikia.com/howrse/images/d/d1/Paint_Horse_Wallpaper_yvt2.jpg)
Cheyanne
The young mare finally calmed down, she looked over the pasture fence at the other horses, why was she in a pen alone? It seemed all the other horses that were brought in were put with at least one other horse. Her head darted to the right when she saw to foals jumping over small hurdles, she looked at them for a moment. She remembered the foals that were in her herd, oh how she missed them. Cheyanne sighed then looked at the humans that led some of the other horses around "How can they just let them pull them around?" she asked herself before laying down.
(http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/NPLPOD/1127593.jpg)
Laika
When Laika had finished another round Billy began to lead her to the gate "How about you go into the main pasture with the other horses. Laika reared up in excitement "Yeah, you would like that." Laika neighed then trotted past Billy and to the gate "Sure are excited aren't ya?" he chuckled as he opened the gate and led her to the pasture. "Here ya go, I'm sure some of the other foals will be in here soon to keep you company." He un-clipped her lead then let her into the large pasture. Laika cantered in, saying hello to the other horses that had already been in there. Most were kind while some of the older horses shooed her away, but she didn't mind.
-
Flicka watched as a grey stallion was lead down the path, then two foals soon being led into a pasture. Huffing she came to a sudden halt and peered around once again, flicking her head up she lowered herself onto the ground letting out a snort. Rolling onto her back the black and white mare began rolling in many different ways flicking her legs around, neighs escaping her maw as blades of grass flicked up into the air.
Chico leapt over a few more jumps his tail flicking in excitement as he let out a whinne noticing Laika had left the ring. "Just a few more then you can join er' " Jake smiled as he lead the colt over a few more jumps. Exiting the arena the brown haired human led the bay foal towards the pasture the filly had entered. Lifting the latch he slowly opened the gate and unclipped the lead rope "There ya go" Jake smiled tapping the foals side and with that he darted off. The youngster bucked and reared as he pranced around the pasture.
The two slowly walked down the graveled path, the stallions tail flicked as he tugged at the rope. "Slow down boy!" Amelia instructed as she was dragged by the large grey horse. Snorting he continued to pull eagre to train. Arriving at the barn it seemed the female had only placed a bridle on him; they must be practicing bare back today. Entering the empty arena the female kicked at his sides trying many different paces with the stallion, then adding few jumps. Once finishing she took him back to the barn and hosed him down quickly. Taking off his bridle she replaced it with the head collar. Leading Cujo into a pasture she unclipped the rope and slammed shut the gate running off.
"Must be busy?.." He muttered to himself letting out a snort. Looking around the pasture it seemed empty for a moment, the pastures surrounding it seeming to have other horses in when suddenly. A cream patched mare in the distance caught his eye "Eventually a pasture with another horse in.." He muttered he was sick of being alone because of his aggressive/dominant behaviour. Half rearing he let out a neigh towards the mare as he peered at her. Craning his neck he grabbed up a clump of grass and began chewing on it.
-
"Oh." Thunder nodded slightly, "We get alot of new additions. I am Thunder, the ranch's showjumper." He nodded, "And you are?"
-
"rhaine" she said feeling somewhat flattered that the staliion liked her.

Sham stood at the back of the pasture quietly. Flicking his tail at his smokey colored haunches, he boredly glanced around at the activity around him. Rubbing his side against the wooden fence, he rolled his eyes at the horses nearby, glancing away with lazy disinterest. (Hnnng. Short.)
-
"Rhaine..That is a nice name." He nodded, "Well, I guess.. I guess I will go now." Thunder couldn't think of anything to say. He blushed a bit, and trotted past her, a bit embarassed.
-
"no dont go" she said "i like talking to the horses here" she also blushed a little
-
Thunder stopped, and turned around, "Well.. what do we talk about then?" He shook his mane a bit, then looked at Rhaine.

Cheyanne
Cheyanne heard a neigh in the distance, she looked over and saw a silver stallion in another pasture. She stood up and looked at him, he was also alone in a pasture, she flicked her mane then walked along the fence. Suddenly the man from earlier came over to the gate "Come on Beauty, we gotta get you socialized." Cheyanne snorted as he entered her enclosure with a bridle and rope in his hand "It's okay girl, I'm not gonna hurt ya." Cheyanne back away as far as she could until her rear end touched the fence "It's okay." he coaxed. Cheyanne raised her head, her ears pinned against her head, she began to snort. "We are not going to hurt you, just calm down." he said calmly, Cheyanne whinnied then reared up, kicking her front legs into the air "Whoa! Whoa!" He yelled as he backed up. Once her front legs touched the ground again her threw the rope over her neck "Just come on." he said as he pulled her along. "My dad said it should be alright to put you into the larger pasture with the other horses, said you might settle better." Cheyanne's ears were pricked forward, her attention was pointed at the pasture with horses init. She didn't want to go in there, Cheyanne came to a dead stop "Are you alright? Just come on." he tugged on the rope. She pulled away "It's okay girl, come on." he said kindly as he tugged lightly on the rope again. Cheyanne whinnied furiously then reared up again, ripping the rope from his hands. "Hey!" Cheyanne spun around and ran back towards her pen. She wanted to be with other horses, but not ones she didn't know, she wanted to go home. She could hear the man's yells behind her but she kept running. She was coming up to the pasture she was in just moments ago, she could jump it. She ran as fast as she could then pushed up with her back legs, sending her into the air. Cheyanne's hooves landed on the soft grass, her legs ached a little, she hadn't run that much in a very long time. "Hey Charlie! What's all that yellin' about?" Cheyanne looked over to an elderly man who was jogging over "The horse we brought into day just jumped that fence!" The man, who she now knows as Charlie, said as he pointed to her. The older man looked at her "She jumped that?" Charlie nodded. Cheyanne snorted then walked along the fence "We need to get a saddle on her." Cheyanne stopped and looked at him. Then she looked over to the silver stallions she saw earlier then she neighed back. She might as well get to know the horses around here.

Laika
Laika saw that Chico had been put into the pasture, she cantered up to him "Hi!" She trotted around him "I'll be bigger than you one day, just watch." she chuckled as she galloped away. Laika stopped at a patch of dirt then dropped and rolled over it, she had a terrible itch on her back. When she was done one of the older foals came over to her, Jack. He was one of the bullies who liked to tease the smaller younger ones. "Whatcha doing shorty." he teased as he stomped his hoof beside her. She jumped up and snorted at him "What do you want Jack?" she began to tro away but he ran in front of her and stopped "Come on shorty!" Laika huffed "The only reason you are bigger than me is because you're older!" she was right, Jack was older than her by a couple months. He bumped into her, almost knocking her over "Stop it!" she snapped. He began to laugh then bumped her again, making her stumble over. She jumped up and rammed her head into his side "Hey!" he whinnied as he glared at her. She pinned her ears back, she was tired of him pushing her around. He reared up, trying to strike her, luckily he was only able to scratch her right shoulder. She ran to the left the reared up, striking his back "Ow! Cut it out!" he cried as he backed away. Laika snorted then Jack raised his head "This isn't over." he scowled as he trotted away.
-
As he was about to doze off, shrill neighing and human shouts caught Sham's attention. The grulla stallion jerked his head up, perking his ears and glancing around rapidly to trace the source of the sounds. He blew a snort from his nostrils as he noticed the cream painted mare pulling free from the hold of a few humans. A crooked smirk grew across his muzzle as he intently watched the action. "Yeaah, show 'em wot for." Sham nickered quietly with an amused chuckle. When the mare suddenly disappeared from view after hopping a fence, the mustang cross shook his mane with a disappointed huff now that the entertainment was over.
-
"why do you let the humans pull you around if i were you they wouoldnt be touching me" she said with a dip of head as she pulled up a mouthful of grass. suddenly she startled a shuman walked up to their pasture. he opened the gait and walked inside. rhaine bared her teeth at him and her muscles tensed ready to rreact at any second.
when isabelle was done cooling out her owner led her back down to her pasture unfortunately while she was gone they had put another horse in their she snorted at the paint mare who apeared very wild and untrained. her owner opened the gait and tried to pull her in but she refused finally he tugged her rope hard and it startled her so she bolted in. he left but she stayed near the gate
-
"Well, I be nice to them and they are nice to me." He neighed. The human came in the pasture. Thunder just looked at him, "Some humans are nice really."
-
rhaine continued to bare her teeth at the human and as he aproached her she reared up threatening to stomp down on him "woah girl!" he shouted "calm down" she landed on all fours and lashed out at the human biting his shoulder "hey!" he shouted "ill be back later" he said to the mare as he backed away
rhaine turned back to thunder "i dont trust them" she said "they took me away from my herd
-
"Oh..Well I am sorry about that." He watched the human walk away, clutching his shoulder, "Well.. What do you want to do?"

Rabbit.
Rabbit stood in the paddock, her head lowered to the ground, still munching the fresh, green grass. "Rabbit!" A feminine voice called from the other side of the paddock. It was Sapphire, she looked after the Appaloosa. He was loaned out to her, so he quickly cantered to her, his ears listening to her every word. "Hey girl, lets get this rope on ya," she spoke... She clipped the pink and silver striped rope on the pink head collar that was already on her face. Sapphire led him over to the tack room!
{{Shorty cause I have to go!}}
-
"i dont know" she said "why dont i come into your pasture?"
-
"Ok." Thunder nodded, "Follow me!" He turned and galloped ooff, jumping over two sets off fences before entering his own pasture, "I think it's wonderful."
-
rhaine took a few steps back before cantering up to the tall fence and leaping easily with about a foot to spare "wow your pastures nice" she said
-
Cujo was calmer than most of the horses here even though he was only here a short time, he watched as a black pinto mare was going wild in the opposite pasture. Turning his head to the sounds of yelling he watched as the cream patched mare broke free from the humans grip and lunged over the fence back into her pasture. Amusement filled his face as his head tilted slightly his tail swatting at the flies. A neigh pierced through his ears causing his head to whip around nodding his head as he noticed it was the same mare, smiling slightly he reared a little then let out another neigh, the grey stallion remained near the fence as he peered into the pasture beside his.
Chicho smiled at what Lakai had to say a small chuckle escaped his maw as he tilted his head "Yeah? We'll se about that!" He smirked his tail flicking in amusement. Sighing as the filly cantered away he sharply turned and peanced towards the back of the pasture his tail flicking as his head nodded. The sound of raised voices caught his attention and he noticed Jack bugging Laika as usual and shoving her around. Gritting his teeth he galloped towards the two watching how Laika thought back. Jack trotted off and he came to a sudden stop infront of the young female panting slightly "Good going, you showed him!" He smiled flicking his tail and smiling at the filly.
Flicka turned to look at Rhaine a snort escaping her nostrils, her attention then turning to a grey stallion and another patched mare going slightly wild. Sighing she cantered around the pasture rearing and bucking letting out piercing neighs. Her hooves thudding the ground as she ran around, throwing her head up and down her mane flicking around as she continued to run around like a wild horse.

Rabbit.
Rabbit's hooves clicked and clocked on the concrete floor before they entered the Tack Room. "Okay, so were going to do more jumping!" Sapphire spoke calmly, her blonde hair flipping in front of her eyes as she tied him up. Rabbit froze at the word 'Jumping..' She started jumping from one hoof to another, flipping her head up and down.. No... No... Not jumping! Rabbit spoke in her mind, her tail swishing angrily. "Calm, Rabbit!" Sapphire gulped, her blue eyes looking at the Appaloosa prance nervously on the spot. She got her soft hand and rubbed it on her nose, "Shhh..." She said calmly, making the Mare calm a bit, but she was still rather nervous about jumping! Sapphire got Rabbit's black saddle, with a matching black bridle. The Teenage tacked her up quickly, before putting a velvet, black helmet on her head.
Rabbit was lead to the Jumping Arena, where large jumps stood before her. Sapphire felt the horse tremble before her, but she walked him on... "It's Okay..." She spoke, making him go around the arena, making sure she got him awake and ready before she even dared to make him trot or canter! Soon she made him have a forward canter, heading towards a 1 metre jump, not to big for a horse. But Rabbit wouldn't take it, he refused the jump... Sapphire flew off the saddle, hitting roughly on the ground... She wasn't moving but the gentle breathing of her voice. Rabbit was horrified with herself, and started rearing, hoping someone would come help... Her heart thumped in her chest, and she reared, again and again, snorting loudly.. "Oh god, what did I do!" Rabbit whined.
-
(1 metre? for a horse thats just starting jumping? but high isnt it?)
-
Rabbit has mastered the small jumps :3 So Sapphire thought she might be ready for a big jump.

(ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh look of understanding comes over face dat makes way more sense)

Cheyanne
Cheyanne chewed on some grass while flicking her tail to shoo the flies away. She looked up and saw Charlie talking to the old man "I wonder what they are talking about." she said through chews "And what's a saddle?" Suddenly her gate opened and a white mare entered. Cheyanne huffed then stood at the back of the small pasture, her gaze on the mare. Soon her attention was to Charlie who was walking over "Okay girl,pa says you need to get used to a saddle." There was that word again; saddle. "When you jumped that fence I was impressed, these fences are too tall for some of the other horses." Cheyanne stared at him "Okay, come on." he said as he gestured with his hand. Cheyanne didn't know what was coming over her but she did as he instructed "Good girl." he said with large smile "Wow, you learn fast." Cheyanne was having a mental argument with herself, why did she do that? Was she growing soft? She didn't know. She let him put the lead on her then led her the a post and tied her to it "I'll be right back." he said as he patted her shoulder. Cheyanne looked around, some of the other horses began to look at her like they knew what was happening. Finally Charlie reappeared with an odd object in his hands "This, is a saddle. See?" He held it up. Cheyanne peered at it, she had never seen one of these before. "Okay, just stay calm alright?" Cheyanne watched him walk over to her and place the saddle on her back. She reared up, making it fall off "Hey! It's okay." He picked it up and placed it back on her again. Cheyanne snorted "Fine." He smiled "There. Now just the straps." He knelt down and tightened something around her stomach then stood up. He grabbed another ting, she didn't know what it was but she saw it before "This here is a bridle. It goes on your face. Like this." he put it over his head and laughed "You humans sure are odd creatures." He removed the bridle from his head then walked in front of her "Alright, here we go."he said as he placed the bridle over her face. Finally he un-clipped the lead and grabbed the reins and walked her in a circle "Wow, one of the easier horses I have ever had the pleasure of training." Cheyanne decided she couldn't be hard forever, she had to get used to this. I'm going to get on you okay?" Cheyanne looked confused, what did he mean? Suddenly she felt a weight on her back, she reared up, trying to get it off "Whoa! It's just me!" Cheyanne placed her hooves on the ground "See, it's alright." Cheyanne was afraid, why was he up there? Then she felt a kick on her sides, "What's he doing?" She felt it again "Go forward." he chuckled then did it again. Cheyanne began to walk forward "Hey pa! Look at this!" he called as he pulled on the reins,making her go right. Soon the old man came out "Would you look at that. She''s been here for what? A few hours and you're already riding her." Cheyanne actually thought this was kinda fun, there wasn't anything to be worried about. "I have never seen a horse break so fast, good job son." Cheyanne was still walking in a circle when Charlie asked "Can I take her out on the trail? Maybe Billy can take Cujo. He needs to be worked anyways." HI dad rubbed his head "I don't know, there have been mountain lion sightings-" "We'll be careful! Won't we Beauty." She bobbed her head up and down, it would be nice to go out. His dad sighed "Alright, I'll get your brother." Cheyanne neighed "Are you excited? I sure am." A few minutes later Billy came around the corner with a saddle "Let me saddle up Cujo then we can head out." Cheyanne and Charlie waited for Billy who only took a few minutes to get the saddle on him and be beside them "Ready?" Billy nodded then they were on their way to the trail.

Laika
Laika whinnied "Yeah! He won't mess with me anymore." she giggled as she pranced in a circle, her tail high. The creme filly pranced around for a few more minutes before stopping and bumping her head against his shoulder "Tag!" she whinnied then galloped across the pasture. Sh ran into a group of mares "Hide me!" she giggled as she hid behind them, they looked at her then continued grazing. She saw Chico getting closer then darted off again, she looked back to see where he was. While looking back she tripped and rolled onto her back "Aw man." she snorted.
-
isabelle slowly walked over to the middle of the pature where the grass was greenest and delicately lowered her head. taking a small bite
-
Cujo turned his head to see a human who he knew as Billy enter his pasture, letting out a nicker he slowly walked towards the human his tail flicking and his head bobbed up and down. "You ready to go on the trail with Beauty?" The young human questioned as he clipped the lead rope onto his head collar and led him out the pasture. The grey stallion nodded and half reared causing the blonde haired human to chuckle. Coming to the barn Billy unclipped the lead rope and to his suprise Cujo stood there waiting and nothing holding him back. Neighing he gently nudged the human "Ok boy I'm getting to it.." He chuckled sliding off the head collar and sliding the bridle on. He came out with the saddle and placed it on the stallions back tightening the straps and patting his neck. "At it boy" he smiled hurling himself onto the large silver stallion "Let's go!" He urged gently kicking the stallions sides getting him to go, nodding his head he walked on and they soon arrived at Charlie and Beauty. "Let's go!" He smiled and Cujo nodded his head again looking at the mare and dipping his head, a snort flaring out his nostrills as Billy roughly patted the side of his neck. "Ya" he muttered kicking the horses sides and he began to walk forward his long legs causing his strides to be fairly long, turning his head to make sure the otheres were also following, he then focused back on the trail a slight smile on his face.
Cicho looked at Laika and chuckled "Hey no fair!" He insisted as he cantered after the filly, mud flicking from under his hooves as he snorted, flicking his back legs in the air giggling. He peered into the group of mares then jerked back as she jumped up and ran, smirking he lunged after and and chuckled as she fell. Picking up the pace he spotted his chance and gently nudged Laikas side "Tag!" He said with a sudden outbirst, whipping around he cantered off his long legs being an advantage.
-
Sham pulled his head back over the fence. Shaking his mane, he lowered his cranium to begin lazily nipping at the nicely trimmed grass. His shoulder muscles quivered to discourage the landing attempts of a couple flies as he absent mindedly grazed. A few footsteps crunching on the grass made the grulla stallion raise his head, flickering his ears forward. Two men were slowly approaching him. Immediately, his ears flattened, pinning themselves against his skull. Flaring his nostrils, he pawed at the earth uneasily with his front hoof, backing up until his hindquarters made contact with the fence. "Shhhh, it's okay, boy." One of the men cooed, cautiously approaching with an outstretched hand. Sham tossed his head and reared up onto his hind legs, pawing the sky with a shrill neigh of distrust. "It's alright! We're just going to put this little thing on your head- just to get ya used to it. It won't hurt you." The other man murmured, holding out a bridle. Sham shook his head and stomped at them with his front hooves, almost a mock charge. The men stumbled to the side to avoid his move. Knowing trust was the main thing, the man with the bridle held it behind him and out of sight and reached into his pocket, revealing a sugar cube in his palm. The stallion's ears perked at the sight of the small cubed object that he knew was tasty. Nostrils quivering, he lowered his head, scraping a few more threatening stomps to the earth with his front hoof.
-
Flicka grunted as she stomped around the pasture, flicking her head up and down as she now remained in a pasture alone. Sighing she began pacing around the fence her hooves thudding the ground, her attention locking onto two humans who leaned over the fence and seemed to be watching her sprint around. She came to a sudden stop near the humans and looked at them slightly her ears flicking as they spoke. "Ya know, she would make a good race horse.." One of the men said who looked a lot older scratching his head a little "Yeah, she would also be good in the western riding" the younger ginger haired man added. "Maybe an all rounder if we're lucky.." The older muttered. Hearing their conversation she felt it would be kinda cool to do those sort of things, but she didn't want them to break her spirit...

Cheyanne
Cheyanne let Charlie do the leading, she didn't know this place at all. Finally, they arrived at the edge of the woods and went on the trail he was talking about "Billy, keep an eye out for the mountain lions. Pa said there have been spotting through here. But they should leave us alone." Cheyanne bobbed her head "Mountain lions?" she snorted, one of the horses in her herd was killed by a pair of them, she will never forget it. With her ears pricked and her nostrils flared they walked down the trail, many smells entered her nostrils but not any feline scent. She could hear Billy and Charlie talking but she wasn't listening, her mind was set on making sure those cats didn't sneak up on them. She didn't know how long they were walking but it had to have been a while because the sun was lowering itself "Man, I think we're lost." Billy stated "Man! I told you going though those deer trails was a bad idea!" Cheyanne raised her head "Lost?" She asked herself "Great, just great. I let some boy on my back and this is what happens." Suddenly she heard leaves rustling, but the brothers were too busy arguing to hear it. She sniffed the air, the smell of feline entered her nose. She snorted again, then whinnied and half raring "Hey! Calm down!" he ordered as he pulled on the rains. "We got to get out of here." she neighed, wishing they could understand her, her ears flicked back and forth, listening to the feline's movements. By the sounds of it there were two of them jumping from branch to branch.
Suddenly a tan colored feline landed in front of her, his claws unsheathed and his teeth bared. Cheyanne reared up, sending Charlie to the ground "M-M-Mountain lion!" he yelled as he jumped up. "Here! Grab my hand!" Billy said to him as he held out his hand, pulling him up onto Cujo. Cheyanne finally placed her hooves on the ground "Where's the other one?" she asked as she frantically looked around. Her question was answered when the second one was behind them.Both of the cats hissed and roared as she circled the group. Suddenly the one in front of her lunged at her but she was able to rear up and strike him down, with a hiss of anger it backed away. She looked over to the second one and saw that it was getting ready to lunge at Cujo "Behind you!"

Laika
Laika huffed the chased after him, Chico had longer legs than she did so he was making more distance. Laika grunted then stopped "I give up! You're too fast." she laid her ears back, then plopped down on the grass. She grabbed a mouthful and began to chew "Jack was right, I am small." she spat as she kept chewing. Why couldn't she be bigger like the other foals? She sighed and swallowed down another mouthful of grass.
-
Sham eyed the tempting sugar cube that was perched on the outstretched palm of the human's hand. Pinning his ears, he arched his neck and pawed at the earth again, nostrils quivering. He was somewhat taken by the surprise as the human remained motionless, and almost hopeful looking. Lowering an eyebrow, he ducked his head a bit, reaching it out to sniff the sugar cube from his stationary spot. Snorting, he pulled his head back to its normal position, arching his neck again. Deciding it was pretty worth the risk, he stretched his neck out once again, taking a slow, cautious step forward until his velvety muzzle was inches from the small cube of sugar. Glancing at the human, he lipped at the sugar cube until he was able to pull it into his mouth and instantly jerk his head back now that he had achieved his goal. "'Atta boy. See, we won't hurt you." The man reassured quietly, keeping his hand out. Sham shook his mane and let out a subtle huff before inching forward again and shoving his muzzle into the man's flat hand, sniffing it for any more traces of food.
-
Chico came to a skid and stopped then whipping around as Laika spoke, nodding he trotted towards the filly as she put herself down. Standing over her he tilted his head and let out a sigh "Jack isn't right he's a jerk!" He muttered stamping a hoof and looking towards the larger foal "And you aren't small, believe me. When you grow I bet you'll end up bigger then Jack!" He smiled trying to cheer the cream filly up his tail flicking as he looked at her.
Coming to a sudden stop she heard the creek of a wodden gate, whipping her head around she realized a human entering. Grinding her teeth she tensed her muscles and stood proud, her tail swaying to and fro; a snort flaring bast her nostrills. "Hey girl.." The young man smiled as he cautiously walked over with a female. "This is the new wild mare that was brought in now to long ago, she's still pretty wild and no ones made an attempt on her yet" he muttered looking at the girl and she nodded looking at the mare "Well she sure is beautiful for a horse." She smiled and Trent nodded. She backed away as the humans came closer her hoof stomped against the ground and she reared up bolting off into the distance "Come on Flick!" He urged in a loud, soft tone trying to convince the mare to come back to them, the female holding out an apple.
The four headed off into the forest the grey stallions tail swatting at the flies who continued making an attempt to land on him, he turned his head to the mare and gave her a smile. His reins then being tugged to the left as they headed through the deer trail. Cujos hooves thudded the ground slightly and his head bobbed up and down a snort flaring past his nostrills as he curiously glared around. Coming to the edge of the forest he peered around at the mountain range and the creeks, the wind blowing past them. His head whipping around to the humans as they muttered about being lost "You gotta be kidding me!" He snapped throwing a large hoof against the ground "And it seems Cujo isn't happy about this!" Billy sighed. The rustling of bushes and trees were heard heard causing the stallion to spin around trying to see what was causing them to move, a tan figure was spotted leaping from the tree and he let out a deathening neigh slamming his hooves against the ground sending many things flying in all directions. Few grunts escaped the stallion as he watched the feline jump around, the mare then flipping Charlie off he gasped slightly. Then a sight of relief and Billy helped him up and towards safety. "Cujo behind you!" A voice muttered and he turned his head spotting a mountain lion behind him, then lunging at him he kicked out his back legs and they sent the cat flying rage filling his eyes and he looked back in the mares direction. A sharp pain then shooting through his rump as he whipped his head around realizing the cat had latched on, neighing he reared and bucked causing the cat to fall; whipping around he rared and slammed his hooves onto the cat. Backing up a little as the humans patted his neck he stood near the mare allowing Charlie to jump back in the saddle.
-
rhaine looked at flicka who was being cornered by the humans "do what i did flicka, bite em" she neighed to her jumping the fence back into her pasture and landing in front of the humans they backed away a few steps and she trotted over to stand next to flicka her teeth bared at the humans "stay away from that one" the human said pointing at her "she bites"
-
The human smiled a bit as Sham roughly nudged his hand. Moving his hand up a bit, he lightly touched the stallion's face. Sham jerked his head up in surprise and distrust, half rearing and turning slightly away with a sharp squeal, flaring his nostrils. "Woah woah woah. It's alright." The man murmured softly, keeping his hand outstretched. Sham bobbed his head, eyeing the flattened palm of the human. Stepping closer again, he gave the hand another sniff, searching for another trace of food. The man slowly reached into his pocket with his free hand and pulled out another sugar cube. Withers quivering, Sham quickly snatched the tasty snack up. This time, he stayed still while the man moved to stroke his face. Free food? This guy's alright. The stallion thought to himself, allowing the man to run his hand down the thin blaze on his face.
-
Flicks turned to see Rhaine jumping the fence her tail flicking and she remained in her dominant stance. Her hoof thumping the ground as the mare stood beside her. Peering at her she rose a brow "Maybe you shoult loosen up on em' they look young?" She muttered; the first time she had even spoke to one of the horses here. The pinto mares gaze then locked onto the two young humans who seemed to be focused on her. "This is the one Hank was on about, he said she'd make a good race horse!" He muttered shrugging then looking at the mustang. "Are mustangs even allowed to race?" Hannah asked and Trent shrugged "I think so" he looked at her and smiled. Flicka then tilted her head and let out a snort as she looked around at the other horses.
-
"they took me away from my herd" she said shaking her head "thats something ill never forget. ill loosen up on the young ones theyre innocent but the older one..." she trailed off shaking her head tossing jher mane
-
She looked at the mare for a moment and sighed "But all humans aren't the same.." She muttered trying to get the mare to loosen up slightly on the humans, besides they were only trying to help them.
-
"i know" she said "i know i should loosen up and i try but... i dont know i just end up doing something awful" she said truthfully to flicka
-
Flicka looked at the mare and tilted her head slightly, then whipping her head to see the humans edging closer. Another snort flaring past her nostrils "Just keep calm and don't move to fast hopefully, they'll let us near..." Trent muttered to Hannah as he knew they weren't use to humans. Shurring the pinto mare turned back to face Rhaine and nodded "Wall maybe try being less harsh? Allow them to come near you then you'll gain their trust.." And idea suddenly flashed into the mares head "Ok follow what I do, this is going to be hard as I don't like them but. Its going to help you" she snorted and allowed the humans to get closer.
-
rhaine tensed but stayed still as she copied what flkicka did
-
The humans closed in with smiles agross their face the pinto mares muscles tensed as she looked down at the two 18 year old. Her tail flicking to and fro as a snort flared past her nostrils, she looked at Rhain "Loosen up a bit.." She whispered trying to help the mare. The soft touch of the humans hand slid across her neck as she loosened up "At it girl!" Trent muttered as he continued to rub his hand across the mare; Hannah then doing it as Trent moved towards Rhaine. "Come on girl, I don't wannt hurt ya.." He smiled slowly sliding out his hand to reach the mare.
-
she relaxed a little but found it difficult to not flinch away when trent moved towards her. she kept still but signs of her nervousness still showed

Cheyanne
Cheyanne reared up again as one of the felines tried to claw her "Billy! Grab her reins so I can get on." Billy nodded then reached over, but before he grabbed her a mountain lion raked it's claws across his arms "Ahhh!" he cried as he grabbed his arm then kicked Cujo into gear "Heeyah!" Cheyanne watched them gallop off then followed after them. She could hear the cats behind her, their hisses as they grew angry. Luckily the stables came into view, raising their spirits and making her gallop even faster. When they arrived Charlie helped Billy down the put Cujo and Cheyanne into the same pasture "I'll be back to take all that equipment off." he said as he helped Billy inside.

Laika
Laika looked up at him "Maybe." she snorted as she stood up, she was in a unhappy mood now. The thought of her being small had gotten to her "I think I want to take a nap." she said with a flick of her tail before trotting to the corner of the pasture then flopping down. She didn't even get a chance to close her eyes when Jack galloped up to her with his two friends "Hey shorty!" he neighed as she stood in front of her. "Go away Jack, take your friends too." Jack laughed "Are you mad because you couldn't catch your friend? I would be mad too if I were as little and slow as you." His friends began laughing "Yeah! you're so tiny. Are you sure you aren't a pony? Or a miniature horse?" Laika laid her ears back as sadness came over her "Just leave me alone!" she neighed "Why? you're so much fun." Jack laughed.

Sham blew a snort out of his quivering nostrils as the man stroked his face. Slowly, the human reached behind him for the bridle and cautiously brought it up to the stud's head, holding the metal bit to his lips. The stallion nudged the metal object with his muzzle, but when the man tried to gently slip it into his mouth, he'd had enough. With a high pitched squeal, he reared high, raking the air with his forehooves and sending the man clambering backwards in surprise. Tossing his head, he brought his front hooves back down to earth with a thud and wheeled around, sprinting away from the human and to the other side of the pasture, lashing out an occasional furious buck or kick with his hind legs.
-
Cujo heard the shriek of the human and he reared up then being sharply kicked in the sides he lunged forward, turning his head to make sure the mare was behind. He could hear the felines behind him as their paws thudded the ground and they hissed; their scents also wafting through the forest. The ranch soon came into view and he heard the humans sigh in relief speeding up as they soon arrived at the ranch and were placed in a large pasture. The silver stallion looked towards the forest for a moment and watched as the two feline figures crawled away; rage filled him as he let out a snort and stomped a hoof at the ground then turning to Beauty. "You alright?" He asked to check up on her as she was at the back.
Chicho looked at Laika and sighed she still seemed down "Its not maybe, you will!" He grinned his ears then lowering slightly as she trotted off and muttered about going for a nap. "Alright.." He mumbled and watched as she trotted off, turning he watched as two large horses were put into a near by pasture the muttering of voices then catching the colts attention. He peered over and spotted Jack, Dough and Chase crowding around Laika. And by the looks of it they were being bullys as usual. Gritting his teeth he stomped towards the four foals and let out a snort "What's going on!?" He questioned with his brow lowered as Jack laughed, his tail flicked in annoyance at the older colt.
Flicka looked at Rhaine and nodded as Trent managed to run his hand down her neck, smiling she turned her head and gently nudged the human. Her head then whipping up as she spotted a pinto mare and grey stallion charge in "Must be Billy and Charlie back.." Trent muttered then backed away from the horse. "And Billy looks like he's hurt, I'll go see um' you coming?" He asked Hannah "No, I'll wait here.." She smiled and the male nodded and ran off. Snorting she watched as the female walked towards Rhaine.
-
rhaine relaxed a little bit more as the female tok the males place. for some reason the males scared her more than the females. the females were ok and they seemed less rough. she let hannah run her hand down her neck but pulled back when her hand reached for her face. "to soon girl? alright" and she went back to runnig her hand down rhaines neck
-
Thrashing violently out with his hind legs once more as he reached the other side of the pasture. Slowing his pace to a quick halt, he snorted in disgust at the humans, who remained where they were on the other side. Glaring at them, he shook his head. "Bloody creatures. Who do they fink they are?" He huffed, pinning his ears. "The hell were you finkin', Sham?" He muttered, scolding himself for foolishly letting the humans get so close.
-
Flicka nodded at Rhaine to show her she was doing good, the gate then slamming as Trent hurried over. "Was Billy alright?" Hannah asked looking towards the male "Yeah I guess, but whilst out on a hack they were attacked by mountain lions and Billy was scratched.." He sighed and Hannah let out a slight gasp "Oh my! I hope he's alright." She muttered and Trent nodded a little unsure "He should be with the right treatment, the horses helped to so must of been pretty brave.." He smiled and Hannah nodded. "So she doing fine?" He asked on about Rhain and the blonde female nodded "She sure is, so is Flicka.." She smiled "Good" he added as he walked towards the pinto mare. A snort flaring past her nostrils as she backed away a little then urging forward allowing the human to run his hand across her neck. "Good girl.." He smiled as he patted her side.
-
rhaine didnt like the feel of the pat especially from the male snorting as she preferred the gentl;e strokes as they were slower and felt patient and went at her own pace. she didnt quite liked the male and although she didnt quite trust hannah she found her presence less scary
-
Billy pulled out two sugar cubes from his pocket one for Flicka and one for Rhaine, passing one to Hannah as it seemed the smaller mare trusted her more. Smiling he placed out his hand flat and ran his other across the mares neck then placing it at his side. Flicka craned her neck and sniffed the cube drawing her head back and snorting "Its alright.." He chuckled and placed his hand a little more forward. Shrugging she stucl out her head and craned her neck down opening her jaws and carefully grabbing the cube. "Good girl!" He praised allowing the mare to eat the treat. The pinto mare crunched down on the cube the sweet taste of sugar filling her mouth, she hadn't tasted one before. Flicking her tail to and fro she looked at the human then roughly nudged him "Whoa girl!" He muttered and slowly lifted his arm then running his hand across the mares back, neck and face. She looked at Rhaine who still appeared stiff and she let out a sigh, but she knew it would take time for the mare to loosen up to the humans just like she did.
-
rhaine looked at hannah who held out her hand with a sugar cube in it. she niffed the cube before licking it cautiously. seeing that it tasted alright she quickly took it from hannahs hand. not liking the human to be close to her head. the human girl could touch her anywhere else but she did not want her touching her head. she relaxed a little seeing that the human meant no harm.
isabelle switched her tail as the paint mare came galloping onto the ranch. she saw the human bore scratches "what on earth were they doing" she thought to herself wondering what had done that

Cheyanne
Cheyanne looked at Cujo "Yeah, I think so." she didn't think she had gotten scratched, she didn't feel any pain. Before she could ask the same Charlie walked to their pen then walked in "What a day, Billy got stitches but she should be fine." So far Charlie was the only human she trusted, she walked up to him then nipped at his hair. He laughed then took off the saddle and bridle before doing the same to Cujo "I'll just leave you two in here for the night." Cheyanne looked up and saw the sun was getting ready to set. She bobbed her head then lowered her head to nibble on the grass.

Laika
Jack turned to look at Chico "What do you care?" he said with a flick of his tail before turning back to Laika. She stood up then looked at Jack "Why don't you just go away? Don't you have something to do?" she said with pinned back ears. Jack's friends laughed "What is there to do?" Laika huffed then perked her ears when she heard her name being called by Charlie. She looked at the foals then galloped off without saying a word. "Good girl." he praised as he grabbed her bridle then led her to her pasture. He patted her head then went to the paint mare and the stallion.
-
Chicho looked at Jack and narrowed his ears twitching as the foals continued to speak "Well, because, I just do!" He muttered "How would you like to be bullied?" He muttered rolling his eyes at the larger colt and his friends then watching as Laika darted off sighing, his attention back on Jack, Dough and Chase muttered something but he didn't catch it. "OH loosen up Chico, consider yourself lucky.." Dough smirked and Chico rolled his eyes "Yeah? Try it you jerk, you guys only bully smaller horses because you're to afraid to pick on your own size!" He shrieked and whipped around and stormed off before they could say anything.
Cujo nodded at Beauty and smiled "Goo.." He was cut short by Charlie shouting then heading over, he began to mutter on about Billys arm and the stallion let out a sigh. They could have been badly hurt. he thought to himself then let out a nicker as he took off their riding gear and spoke againsnorting he watched as the human walked off then he looked at beauty for a moment, nodding his head then he began to peer around.
"Well we best go now" Trent smiled as Hannah nodded and followed after the young male, the gate slamming shit behind them. Turning her head she looked at Rhaine "Wasn't to be was it..." She muttered and craned her neck picking up a clump of grass and chewing on it. Her tail continuing to flick at her flank.
-
Rhaine didnt reply she was thinking " the females are better then the males" she finally said cautiously "theyre more gentle" she continued
-
Flicka nodded slightly at what Rhaine had to say "But some boys are also gentle..." She muttered and dipped her head then trotting off to the water trout to get some water. Soon arriving the craned her neck and dipped her muzzle into the water, gulping down large amount as her tail continued to flick. Lifting her head from time to time and droplets of water would fall from her chin and bad into the water.
-
Rhaine lowered her head to the ground and tore some grass for a snack. She lifted her head noticing for the first time that the other paint mare was back.
-
Flicka gulped a last mouthful and drew her head back from the water, snorting she whipped around and glanced around for a moment. Her legs shaking slightly as her hoof was tapped against the ground. Letting out a nicker the half-wild mare began galloping around the pasture tossing her head up and down, he hooves thudding the ground as she began to stretch her long colored legs.
-
rhaine saw flicka begin to gallop around and she decided to join in and have some fun. if the foals could play tag why couldnt they. she snuck up on the mare before nudging her "tag!" she nisckered before bolting away

Cheyanne
The sun was almost gone, making the stables get dark except for the light posts that were around the road. She looked up at the slowly darkening sky, wondering what her family was doing, were they missing her as much as she missed them? She lowered her ears then bent down to lay on her stomach at the back of the pen. She slowly chomped on some grass, what else was there to do?
-
The humans, it seemed, had dropped the attempt at breaking Sham in to the bridle today and had left him alone in the pasture. Snorting, the mustang cross shook his long mane and stomped a forehoof, peering up at the darkening sky that began to blanket the daytime brightness, the sunset casting long shadows. Letting out a sigh, Sham flicked his tail at his smokey grulla haunches and lowered his head to lazily nip at the swaying grass, mind trailing.
-
Chico looked up and let out a sigh as the sky had begun to darken "Chico!" A rough voice sounded and made a sort of clicking sound then followed by a whistle. Turning his head he noticed it was Jake and he trotted over. "There you are boy, its getting late time to put you in the stall.." He muttered and clipped a lead rope onto the foals head collar. Opening the gate the bay foal lunged out and the gate was slammed behind him. Walking down the graveled path they soon came to the stalls and his was right infront of him. Being placed in Jake unclipped the lead rope and patted the foal. "Good boy, I'll see you tomorrow." He muttered and padded away. Snorting the bay colt leant against the side of the stall, his eyes began to lazily drop and it didn't take long for him to drift off.
Flicking heard hoof steps behind her but before she could turned to see who it was she felt a nudge and watched Rhaine run past her shouting tag, a giggle escaped her maw then lowered her brows smirking slightly. "Let's go!" She nickered and trotted after the mare. Her large hooves thudding the ground and snorts flaring past her nostrills with each stride; her flowing mane and tail blowing in the wind and the skies began to darken. Picking up the pace slightly she began to gain on the mare.
Cujo looked around and let out a sigh, the horses in the other pastures were bareably noticable. The only light being those around the stables and the odd ones near the pastures. He watched as many humans began placing the younger horses into stalls and also some of the larger ones. Hooves thudded the ground and he turned his head watching two mares pace around the pasture. Sighing he lowered himself to the ground and lay on his side. The silver stallions long, muscular body was sprawled out across the ground.
-
rhaine saw flicka gaining and forced herself to run faster. she decided to see if she coyuld pull something off. she whipped around in a tight turn and bolted straight past flicka to the other side of the pasture.
-
Flicka watched as the mare sharply turned and darted to the other half of the pasture, smirking she turned swiftly and bolted after the small mare. Her hooes thudded the ground as she cantered towards the horse, her man and tail flwoing behind her as she drew closer. Nudging at the mares side "Tag!" She nickered and half reared then bolted off. Deciding not to use the usual 'forward' option the pinto mare began running, turning in all directions so the mare wouldn't know which way to go and it would be harder for her.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while))

Rabbit.
Finally, Sapphire woke from her unconsciousness, sighing loudly. Rabbit snorted in her face, "Sapphire?" The Appaloosa spoke, her brown eyes twinkling with a worried look. "Rabbit? Oh, we will get Sophie to ride you..." Sapphire sighed, pushing herself up drowsily. The blonde grabbed the black reins, leading the spotted horse from the arena. A mousey-browned haired girl came from the stables, and saw her friend Sapphire. "Sapphy!" She spoke, and Rabbit realized it was Sophie. "Hey Sophie, can you take Rabs for a hack?" Sapphire said, rubbing her forehead. Sophie nodded, taking Sapphires helmet of her head, and put it on her own. Sophie always liked fast hacks, so Rabbit decided to wake himself up a bit, shaking his head rapidly. Sapphire smiled brightly, rubbing her head like it hurt, then walked off. Sophie put her foot in the stirrup, and lifted her self up quick.
Rabbit entered the Farmer's Field, but no hay bales or crops were growing right now. "Lets go for a gallop!" Sophie smirked, fixing her stirrups so they were two holes shorter. Rabbit was quite sensitive, so she didn't need much of a kick. "Brrr Brr!" Sophie encouraged, that's the way of making Rabbit go faster, and a kick or a squeeze of course. Rabbit walked at first, but quickly went into trot, then canter... Sophie lifted her bottom of the seat, leaning forwards. With a little squeeze, Rabbit stretched her legs galloping a bit behind the leg. "Brr Brr!" Sophie encouraged again, and Rabbit galloped at full stretch, clearing most of the field in under half a minute. There was a fence, the same size as Rabbit done and Sapphire fell off.. "Come on..." Sophie whispered, hoping just once Rabbit could make it. She was risking everything! Rabbit remembered her refusal, and Sapphire crashing to the ground... Rabbit looked at the fence, and carried on galloping.. If she stopped poor Sophie would probably be killed... The fence was close... Rabbit leaped up, tucking her hooves neatly under his chest. Cleared the fence easily! Sophie slowed her down, and in walk gave her a huge hug. "You clever girl!" Rabbit realized, there was nothing to be afraid of jumping...
(Just been riding myself, I have such spirit to rp as a horse! xD So you don't have to read it all, it's just Rabbit going to a farmers field and clearing quite a big fence. )
-
rhaine decided to use brains rather then speed. so she forced a opained look onto her face befor edropping to the ground and breathing heavily. she let the whites of her eyes show and tried to make her breathing sound shallow and ragged. she lay like that hoping flicka would fall for the trick because she knew she wasnt fast enough to get flicka
-
Flicka continued galloping around the pasture then peered around noticing Rhaine on the ground, she thought it could be a trick or she could actually be something wrong. Sighing she trotted towards the mare and stood side ways in order to make an easy escape; also standing a few feet away. Snorting she looked down at the mare "You ok?" She asked her tail flicking as another snort flared past the pinto mares nostrills.
-
rhaine knew she wouldnt catch flicka the way she was positioned so she continued on with her trick and replied with a low groan. she hoped that if she continued flicka would come closer so she stayed laying down
-
Flicka looked at Rhaine and rolled her eyes trotting a little closer "You know you shouldn't play tag if you have problems with running for long periods of time.." She grunted in attempt to give the mare a little firendly advise, blind to the fact the mare was pretending. But something told her she was; but being her stubborn self she ignored her instinct.
-
she let ourt one last moan efore bolting to hder feet and nudging flicka "ha tricked you tag!" she shouted before bolting away . she copied what flicka had done and turned this way and that trying to confuse the other mare
-
Flicka smirked slightly at the mares plan, then smirked at the mare copying her plan. "Bad idea, I've dealt with this before. With my herd.." She chuckled but muttered the last part to herself. Whipping around she watched the mare bolt around for a moment spotting her chance she lunged after the mare at a pace that would allow her to turn a lot more faster, but still be able to keep up with Rhaine.
-
She didnt notice flicka behind her until she was very close. She was deciding what to do when an idea popped into her head. She started running full tilt toward the fence not showing any signs of stoppin
-
Flicka watched as Rhaine cantered towards the fence and she knew the mare would make another attempt in jumping it. Snorting she came to a sudden stop and stomped a hoof. Ever since a member of her birth herd was caught on a very large fence after making an attempt to jump it she had never ever jumped a fence since. Sighing she lowered gently to the ground and watched as the mare was about to jump the fence. Shrugging the pinto mare dipped her head towards the grass and began ripping out large clumps.
-
-
Flicka peered up and Rhaine and sighed "Just something that happened in my past with a herd member and a fence.." She muttered dipping her head again to pick up another mouthfull of grass.

Rabbit
The Appaloosa almost reared in happiness, but preferred not to have her rider on the floor. "Come on Rabs, canter!" She said, giving the Appaloosa a big squeeze. Rabbit started of with a brisk trot, but when a light squeeze was felt on her flank, she started her canter and heard Sophie say, "You would be great at show jumping, the way you tuck up your feet!" Rabbit barely heard her as the wind flew through her mane. Her hooves thumped on the muddy floor. She had to make her way through a small forest. Sophie gave Rabbit a half-halt and Rabbit slowed down to a trot. Some of the branches were low, so Sophie had to do sitting trot most of the time, but she rose out of the seat, then back in. Rabbit stared at the dark forest, her brown eyes gazing from tree to tree. She felt quite scared, like something was going to pop out in front of her, but for Sophie she trotted on. Suddenly, she saw the light! Well.. The Stables!
A head collar was tied around his neck so he wouldn't bolt as Sophie undone the bridle. Rabbit spat the bit out as she usually did as she was untacked. When the bridle was on its hook, Sophie done the head collar properly, and took the saddle of along with the saddle pad. She put that on the stand, and led the Mare to the paddock where all the untamed and tamed horses were. "We'll leave your head collar on," Sophie said when they entered the paddock. She unhooked the lead, and patted the spotted horse before leaving the paddock..
Rabbit walked to the middle of the field, her tail flicking the flies away. She watched the horses socialize as she stood alone, as usual.

(Murr sorry about the sudden inactiveness DX Recap?)

I don't think anything special is happening at the stables....))
-
(oh actually we know there are cougars in the forest because cheyanne and cujo were out with charlie and billy and they were attacked by mountain lions
-
((Its fine Duna and well nothing 'important' has really happened all that's happened is Cujo and Cheyanne were took out on a hack with Billy and Charlie but as they came to the end of the forest they were attacked by cougars; Billy being clawed across the arm. So they hurried back to the stables and placed the horses in the pasture, Billy then got stiches and thw two horses remain in a pasture. Chico has been taken into a stall to rest by Jake. Flick and Rhaine allowed humans to get close then when they left the two mares had a came of tag; Rhaine went to jump a fence but Flicka stopped because of something that happened in the past with a fence and herd members. So the two mares remain grazing. That's all really))
