Excusing herself from Trevor she rushed after Tobias and practically begged, "Please let me help you, I'm desperate Toby. I can't just sit and do nothing, this is the first day in weeks where nothing needs me. You have to have something for me to do." Grabbing his free arm, she stopped him from walking further and carefully got down onto her knees. "I'll do anything!"

Contessa finished her conversation with Victoria and led Gator away to the stables to give him some much needed grooming. After she took off all his riding gear, she lead him by rope into his stall, a basket of grooming tools under her arm, and a bucket of water in her free hand as she struggled to carry the heavy thing with her into Navigators stall. Closing the stall door behind them, she set everything down, and grabbed a sponge out of the basket, dipping it in the cool water bucket to sponge some of the drying sweat off of his pretty, silly black coat. She always made sure the Thoroughbreds coat and grooming was impeccable, and took pride in his looks, though she suspected Gator was a bit of a diva himself, and appreciated the work when put in to keep him looking his best. For Tessa and the Hotblood stallion, grooming was somewhat stress-relieving, therapeutic and the perfect way to strengthen their bond even more.

There must be someone else at the stable that needs help, Tobias thought as he listened to her plea. He stopped dead in his tracks as she literally got to her knees and begged. “Don’t.. Do that,” he muttered crookedly, disjointedly. This literal begging unnerved him. He quickly offered his free hand to Lily to help her stand. “Okay, okay,” he huffed, “You can help me. I’ll see if I have anything you can do. Just, please, stand up.”

Jumping up in glee, Lily wrapped her arms around the grumpy instructor, careful not to knock over the saddle. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Toby!" Stepping back, she smiled widely and said in her usual teasing tone, "You do have a heart after all."

(They're added!)
Jay was now in the Barn, starting his morning job of caring for the horses. After this, he'd be able to take Ranger out for a quick ride. He went to her first, taking her out to the paddock so she could graze while he mucked her stall and took care of the others.
Brenton logged onto his computer and printed out a flyer that said, "NOTICE: Creekside Trail closed today due to possible rain". He took it downstairs and tacked it to the bulletin board inside the tack room. Then he headed over to Luck's stall. "Hey boy," he said fondly, rubbing his best friend's nose as he unlocked the gate. He wouldn't be able to ride Luck until later in the day, so he put him out in the paddock with Ranger.
(lol changing Ranger to a girl cause why not)

Every time he was called ‘Toby’, Tobias felt a year of his lifespan being shaved off. So far today, within the last five minutes actually, he’d lost three years. He rolled his eyes at her exaggerated ‘thank you’s’ and allowed himself to be hugged, albeit awkwardly with the saddle on his arm. Ah, back to the teasing tone. “Sometimes,” he replied--his attempt at joking back. And with that, he continued on his way to the barn, opening the door and walking right on in, quite the gentleman, though he held it open for Lily once he was inside. He placed the saddle on a rack and glanced around the barn. “You said any job?”

Trevor Gilligan As his mentor spoke, a look of disappointment crossed his features, and he started to move toward the office to begin sorting the filing cabinet. When Lily continued speaking, Trevor froze in his tracks, the cheery smile returning to his face, turning up the corners of his lips. "Thanks, Dr. Woodley!" he called over his shoulder, rushing toward the stables to check on Huey. "The cabinet and first aid kits will be the most organized you've ever seen them," he promised.
Arabelle Rosencash As the group began to disperse, Ara cocked her head, brow furrowed. Guess everyone was splitting to do their own things. She let out a soft sigh and pushed open the door to the House once more, moving to grab her bag again and slinging it over her shoulder. Perhaps she'd take Jax for a ride and find a nice tree to sit under while she did some of her paperwork. Casting a glance down the hall toward where Brenton disappeared, she paused. Should she see if Mr. Boss Man wanted to join her? With a small shrug, moved down the hall. "Hey, Brenton," the blond greeted quietly, a polite smile gracing her features. "It seems as though everyone has dispersed. I was going to take Jax for a ride and settle down to do some work. Would you care to join me?"

As usual, that morning Gabby found herself in the barn. While she wasn't a stable hand, she firmly believed that taking care of one's own supplies was crucial. Her father had raised her to be a hard worker, making her muck out stalls in the morning before she rode and scrub saddles when she returned home in the afternoon. It was the way she'd been raised, and as such, she did it now, at least in Old Frosty's stall. She may not have been as young as the rest of the staff, but that didn't mean she couldn't help out. Hearing voices, she paused in her work. They were familiar voices--Lily and Tobias. She smiled wryly, hearing Lily's pleading and Tobias' exasperation. Laying down her shovel, she crossed to lean against the doorway, peering down the length of the barn toward the pair as she wondered, in amusement, how far Tobias would go to get her off his back.

Jackson was hanging out in one of the paddocks, sitting atop the fence lazily as he watched Sugarfoot grazing languidly in the sunlight, with a freshly groomed Navigator, though his younger sister Contessa was nowhere to be found. Navigator still needed lots of training and discipline if he was going to be the Greys family new champion race horse, and father of a new line of foals. He benefited from being near the older, cool-headed mare, and Gator always affectionately followed Sugar around like a lost puppy. Jackson pulled out a small metal flask, and took a big sip as he continued to watch the two horses.

( mags we'd love to have you! I rode as a little kid, but unfortunately it's an expensive hobby! This rp is my way of fulfilling my horseback riding fantasies) Brenton grimaced. "I'd love to, but I've got bills to pay for the stables." Whenever his eyebrows scrunched together, deep lines appeared on Brenton's forehead. Running this place is gonna prematurely age me, he thought to himself. Brenton didn't usually talk to anyone outside Dr. Woodley about Redwood's financial problems. "I'm hoping things will run smoothly while I hole myself up in the office for a couple of hours."

Arabelle Rosencash The lass studied Brenton for a moment, concern flickering at the depths of her icy blue eyes. "If you don't mind me asking," she began softly, leaning against the doorframe, gaze remaining on the man before her, "is everything okay?" Perhaps she misread his expression, something that wouldn't be of any surprise to the dainty blond, as she was never very good at reading people for all the quiet observing of others that she did. Although she had grown up in town and had gone to Redwood since she was young, Ara had never really spent much time with the others who frequented the establishment, preferring to keep to her own, reading or studying or, nowadays, reviewing the work of her students while sitting under some tree with Jax; so it made sense that she didn't know Brenton or Lily or Tobias or any of the others particularly well.

"Anything," she confirmed, quite happy that he had actually joked with him. Breathing in the familiar smell of horse and hay, she closed her eyes and smiled in utter bliss. Sometimes it amazes her, just how much she loved the Stables. Even after the accident, this was the only place she felt she belonged. Of course, her mom thought her mad, constantly berating her for even being around horses in the first place but she much preferred the horses here than the people out there. And while she knew Toby might just give her a job far worse than birthing a horse, although that is such a beautiful and natural process (even if it's extremely messy, and quite smelly), Lily was determined to help. She had sworn long ago to keep this place happy and carefree, besides the injuries that only seemed to increase and bills that were growing tall.

(Halo! I is here ^^ anyone have any open characters?) After her brief reunion with the others Tori slipped into the barn, listening to the soft noises of the horses, until she finally made it to Dominos stall. She paused at it, pressing her face against the wood of the stall door, watching Domino eat some hay. He looked fine, more or less clean, a little scruffy admittedly, but clean. She smiled faintly before heading into the area where all of the cleaning supplies where kept, grabbing her own bucket with all of the necessary picks and combs in it to keep Domino clean and riding ready. She placed it in front of his stall, knowing she'd need to muck it before she started anything at all. She sighed, slipping back into the cleaning area, reappearing with a shovel and rake, and a wheelbarrow for the mucking, and opened the stall door, smiling slightly as Dominos head rose and glanced over at her curiously. "Hey Domino, long time no see," she murmured, reaching out a hand to rub his soft ears. He let out a soft snort, but didn't move away, a good sign, although she had a feeling he'd be a pain to try to get out. The guy was a bit stubborn, but he was her stubborn horse. She smiled, running a hand down his neck before begin to muck out the stall. It took about ten minutes for her to get the stall back up to her standard- it had to look perfect. When she finished she already felt winded after that, and a pang of worry shot through her. She hadn't realized she was this out of shape. Tori sighed, sitting down for a moment, Jack settled down next to her, setting his head on her lap and she smiled, stroking his silly ears momentarily, "I guess im gonna have to listen to Brenton, eh Jack," she said with a small laugh, no longer winded. She got up, patting off the dirt and grabbing her bucket, knowing she needed to get him cleaned. "Hey maybe Brenton will let us go on one of the trails today, that would be easy right? Then we could go a bit fast, get those leg muscles stretched," she whispered, currying his coat.

When her parents had uprooted her and carted her all the way across the world she had been less than pleased. Not only had she had to leave her friends, school and social life but her string of young eventers also had to be sold. The only upside was her favourite horse, a gift from her late grandfather was to be shipped along with them. Unlike her the horse had settled well, the stables were nice, if a little basic compared to the yard she had been based at. It was enough for her to have one thing to remind her of the sprawling greenery of England. Now the grey stallion was tugging happily at his haynet, on ear tipped back listening to the girl say on the chest outside his stall. Her hands worked over the leather of his bridle, polishing it to a fine sheen. Everything about both her and her horse was clean and well kept, unlike most grey horses who were stained with mud or dirt Tarkin was spotless. She groomed him relentlessly, it gave her focus. People milled about in the barn, people she had yet to meet or even acknowledge. She knew people must think her snooty but she didn't care what they thought. It was her and her horse against the world.

Tobias’ gaze fell along the row of stalls lining the barn. A horse occupied most stalls, though a few were empty -- likely out to pasture while their stalls were being mucked. His eyes fell open the stall of his own mare, Seraphina. She tugged away at a hay net, seemingly frustrated with the device. Unfortunately for the mare, she tended to gain weight easily when given free choice hay, so they hay net was added to add that extra effort into her day - much to the mare’s dismay. He smiled at her efforts before he spun around on his heel to face Lily. “Great. I believe Seraphina’s tack could use a good polish,” he began, “and her brushes could do with a wash.” It wasn’t terrible work, just tedious and inconvenient work that he himself tended to avoid doing. He reached over to her stall and grabbed her halter and lead, ready to take the mare out for a pre-ride grooming.

Alena finished stacking large hay bales onto a large wagon. She had taken about 15 minuets to stack about...25 or 26 hay bales. Her task at the moment, was to move as many bales of hay over to the barn for later usage. Alena sighed before taking two heavy chains from the front of the wagon. Each were connected to large, heavy hooks. Alena took the two heavy pieces of equipment over to a large stallion, a Barbant Draft horse. She looked up at the stallion before hooking the two chains to the neck yoke going across its chest. Once she had finsihed this, Alena grabbed the Draft horse's reigns.
"That's a good boy Ari," she said while reaching up to pet the horses neck. Despite her height, she only stood up to about Ari's chest on her tippy-toes. Ari grunted as Alena began to pull forward. Alena laughed, "come on big boy. It's easy. I've seen you do it before!" Alena said with a smile. Ari grunted again, but began to walk forward, pulling the weight of the wagon as if it were nothing.
((Here's a starter for one of my characters. Also, if anyone playing a vet is open to RP I have a horse they need to take care of! XD

Nodding she smiled and said in a softer voice, "Okay. She's due for a check-up soon too." Glancing over at the horse, she studied Seraphina and said more to herself, "She's getting big, have I checked her for EMS? I've never faced a case before, it's not too serious, she'd just need to be prescribed with levothyroxine sodium and given supplements daily...." Clearing her throat, she looked up at Tobias expectantly and said, "You take your girl out and I'll be done in around an hour!"
