Jay went to the tack room and found his western saddle. He actually owned both western and english saddles, but seeing as he intended to go on a long trail ride, western would be more comfortable for both him and Ranger. She nickered happily when she saw him carrying the bulky saddle.
(lol just realized that I've actually never ridden in an english saddle)

[ snow ooh, a morning person? i'm in awe ] Ara let out a quiet laugh at the sight, shaking her head. " Okie dokes," returned, turning away from Brenton to find Jax's stall. As she moved toward the other end of the stable, the large creature swung his head toward her. A wide smile broke out across her face as she quickened her steps to stand in front of the horse. " Hey, bud," she greeted, giving him a pat, " What shall we do today, hm?" While she needed to get some work done, she had seen the notice that Brenton had just put up and was hesitant to take Jax out for a ride. Perhaps she'd put him out in the paddock with some of the others and return to do some of her own work.

Contessa noticed Tobias and Seraphina exiting the stables not far behind her and Navigator, she had never really talked to the older man, he was an instructor for none of the things she really trained in, besides dressage, but Gator was not trained as a dressage horse, only a racehorse. Pulling up on the reins to pull the black horse to a stop along side one of the empty paddocks, she waved at the Instructor and smiled over at him.

Smiling, she reached over and gently stroked the horse's head before saying, "Toby is going to love me one day. Everyone here is perfectly fine, not that I'm complaining, it's good that no one's sick, but that makes my job rather useless today so I decided to help him out. But I'm not picking favorites, he just looked so busy so I thought he'd need me most, well need my help most." Groaning, she chuckled softly and decided to shut up, her cheeks burning as she focused on petting Sugarfoot. Reaching into her jean pocket, she pulled out a lump of sugar and hummed softly when Sugarfoot happily nibbled on the treat. "Some Sugar for Sugar." coyote ◦

Oliver let out a nervous laugh, "it's that obvious huh!" He said while running the back of his neck, "yeah. My dad dropped me off here. Said it was a good place to get to know the country side," he explained, "I lived in the country side until my mom got sick and... Well let's just say I needed another place to say," he said looking down a bit. He then perked up and looked at the stallion behind the girl, he let out a slight laugh and smiled, "cute horse!" He said.

"Hey," Jay replied in his calm way. "Does Domino look good?" He knew that Domino was fine- Jay'd been the one taking care of him for the past six months- but he still wanted to hear from Victoria. It must've been hard for her to be away from her horse for that long.

While Seraphina warmed up at a brisk walk, Tobias let her neck stretch long and low while he barely held the buckle of the reins. He rubbed her neck gently and sighed, worry tugging naggingly at his thoughts. Looking up from the neck of his mount, he spotted the jet black thoroughbred stallion Navigator and his owner, Contessa. He really only knew her name and the fact that she owned one of the few thoroughbreds on the ranch. Besides that, he knew nothing about her -- it was nothing personal, he rarely branched out of his admittedly small circle unless need be.
He waved back, steering Seraphina with his legs towards the fence lining the outside of the arena. “Good morning Contessa,” he greeted when within talking distance. He leaned back in the saddle, signalling the mare to stop, and patted her rump affectionately. Though not the biggest fan of thoroughbreds and the racing industry, Tobias would admit the young stallion before him was well built and athletic, with an impressive coat colour. He reckoned he’d never seen such a black coat on a horse.

Jenson Bell // Male // 17 // Rider // Splash He is a 6’3 young man. He is tan with an athletic build and light brown hair with bangs that, when straightened, falls in front of his eyes, but he normally has his bangs swept to the side. He also has brown eyes that can turn hazel if he is really happy. He normally is found wearing ripped up jeans, a band t-shirt, and a snapback over his shaggy hair. He is really laid back and chill. He doesn’t really get stressed or worked up that much. He is quite the adventurer and loves to explore new trails or places. He is easily excitable and can get loud really easy. He loves to joke around, and he is rarely serious. Splash // Mare // Jenson Bell She is a dappled grey, 16.0hh mustang. She has a black mane and a grey tail. She is a feisty thing, quite the opposite of her owner. She is stubborn and doesn’t normally listen to any human who isn’t her owner, Jenson. If any other human tries to get on her, she normally doesn’t move, or she bucks them off. Jenson is the only human she can tolerate, and when she’s with him, she is sweet and caring.

JACKSON GREY
The dusky golden mare soaked up the attention from the vet, nickering softly in happiness as she bumped her creamy white, velveteen lips to Lily's hand. Jackson looked at Sugarfoot and shook his head at her, mentally rolling his eyes at his horses antics, she sure loved attention and affection from people. Jackson turned his attention back to the woman in front of him as she nervously babbled, and he couldn't hold back his chuckle this time, "Oh? Well actually I could use your help with something..." he paused as he watched Lily pull out a sugar, and presented it to the Warmblooded mare. Sugarfoot made a sound of delete and took another step forward, pushing Jackson a little forward as well, the mare happily chomping down on the gifted sugar cube, flicking her white tail behind her. "I want to breed Sugar for the first time but, I need to make sure she's in tiptop shape first."
CONTESSA GREY
Navigator whinnied shrilly at the nearing of the mare, Seraphina, and pawed at the dirt with one of his hooves. Tessa rolled her eyes at the stallions antics as she stroked his shiny black fur, the color and texture almost resembling black silk. The younger girl looked at Tobias curiously before smiling, "Morning, Tobias...are you going out on the trails?" She inquired, as her horse shifted his weight around in anticipation for his daily ride, the hot blood had far too much energy in him for the day, and he wanted to do nothing more than stir up some trouble, or run himself half dead, as was his passion.

Gulping slightly at his close proximity, she nodded and said with a smile, "Oh yeah, she'd have beautiful foals. I'd be happy to help, but you'll have to find the right stallion for this mare, she deserves the best and nothing less." Turning her attention back to the beautiful mare in front of her she cooed softly, "Isn't that right Shug?"
"But yeah Jax, she's looking pretty good," Smiling directly at the instructor she said softly, "I could get Trevor to help me out with a standard check-up tomorrow if you don't mind him helpin' me out. That Gilligan boy has been itchin' to do more than sort my medicine cabinets."

Tobias noted the stallion’s impatience, not wanting to keep the horse too long from his ride. At the mention of the trails, Tobias reconsidered his ride. He hadn’t even considered going on a trail ride--they weren’t his thing, he much preferred schooling--however if any day was the appropriate time for a relaxing ride on the trails, today was. “Yes, actually,” he decided quickly, offering a small smile back. “I think we will. Are you two going as well?” He took a moment to shorten up his stirrup leathers while the mare stood quietly, tail swishing in annoyance at a fly on her belly.

"He looks pretty good, the stall doesn't look to shabby, either." She responded, grabbing her own western saddle, stumbling momentarily with the weight of it. "Thank you, by the way, for taking care of him," she added, a small smile forming on her lips. She was glad that Domino was left in good hands,if he didn't work at Redwood she didn't know what she would have done, the painted usually didn't play well with others unless she was around.

(( Kurai sorry for my poof! Wifi was low I guess. When I posted my reply it said it went through. Guess not! So sorry! Ugh I'm gonna have to rethought it all now! Oliver smiled at the girl, "me? Ride?" He said, "not a bit!" He then laughed while turning a bit and looking around, "do I look like do? Huh! I always thought I had the city boy look!" He joked. He was very bad at jokes in the long run, but that never stopped him from trying! Oliver laughed a bit before looking down at the grouond with a smile, "guess I was sent here to uh.. Find a horse and train," he said with a smile. He then look back up at the girl, "name's Oliver," he said while holding out his hand, gesturing for the girl to shake it.

"I was hoping I could. It's been forever since we've been on a trail together," she responded, shifting the weight of the saddle so she didn't stumble. She couldn't help but hope a few others where thinking of going on a trail, it was always nice having people to talk to as they rode. "I was thinking about a trail ride too," He said. "Would you mind if me and Ranger tagged along?" Jay enjoyed the alone time with Ranger, but at least this way Victoria wouldn't be alone if anything happened to her- though Domino would be doing most of the work anyway.

"Whatever you'd like," Jay shrugged, turning to go tack up Ranger. "Make sure you bring Jack, he can scare away any snakes." Back at Ranger's stall he heaved the saddle onto her back, adjusted the saddle pad, slipped on her bridle and bit and attached the reins.

She followed suite, slipping on the pad and saddle onto Dominos back, who in turn let out a soft snort. She put on his reigns, gently putting the bit into his mouth, rubbing a hand over his head. She gently pulled him out of his stall, only having a slight problem with him pushing back at first, but she managed to get him out of the stall with less resistance than she expected. She smiled, looking at the two new people, not recognizing their faces. A boy and a girl, perhaps they would like to go on a trail with them. She let out a low whistle, Jacks head poking out of the tack room before following her with a happy pant. "Hey, anyone want to go out on a trail ride?" She called out, double checking her saddle to make sure it was on properly.

JACKSON
The man laughed a bit at Lilys subtle reaction to him being forced a step closer. He nodded along as she spoke, stroking Sugarfoots white blazed nose. "Don't worry, I've already got a stallion or two in mind, one of my fathers business partners breeds some good Morgan horses..." he trailed off as the mare whinnied loudly again, and bobbed her head up and down. He knew she was getting a little antsy to be fed, but she could wait. "I don't mind, I'll bring her by tomorrow and the two of you can check her all out! She's never foaled before so I'm a bit nervous..."
CONTESSA
"Yes, we usually go down the main trail before I take him for a run..." Contessa said a bit awkwardly, glancing down for a split moment, as Navigator turned his head a little to face the mare, stretching out his heavily chiseled neck, bumping his nose against hers. The girl laughed a bit and tugged on the reins to back him up and put more space between them. "Do...do you want to come with...?" Obviously that was a bit of a dumb question, from what he had said but she still was feeling a bit awkward with the older man, small talk and socializing with strangers wasn't her strongest point.

( Hi! I'd love to join! AnnMarie Marlin // Female // 18 // Rider // Summer AnnMarie is a petite, lean-bodied girl, standing around 5’4”. She has long, dirty blonde hair that nearly touches her waist. Along with her bright green eyes, she’s very shy and quiet. She just moved to the town Redwood Stables is surrounded by, and needed a place to board her horse. Being new in town has left her severely reserved. With it being her last year in high school, she’s hoping to make new friends at Redwood Stables and the high school near by. She’s known to be very different while riding horses. Not only does she seem outgoing, but she is completely stress free. In Arizona, the state she used to live in beforehand, AnnMarie bought her own horse as a yearling, and raised and trained the mare. Five years going strong, AnnMarie loved the horse more than her own family. If she isn’t at school, she’s at the barn, sometimes till curfew. AnnMarie can be very rambunctious with the right people/horses, but it takes a while to break down her walls. [ haylizzle ] Summer // Mare // AnnMarie Marlin Summer is a chestnut Quarter Horse mare, red as can be. She was raised and trained by the one and only AnnMarie. She’s a sassy mare, with a lot of spirit, but most of the time she’s extremely well-behaved. As a six year old mare, she can sometimes be pretty unpredictable, especially with her huge move (Arizona to Redwood Stables). AnnMarie is currently using Summer to practice/compete in barrel racing, pole bending, calf roping, and reining. [ haylizzle ] )

forestpaw - Its fine I do that all the time XD
"I was taught to never judge a book by its cover. Plus if I saw most of the people from around here outside of the barn I wouldn't think they would know one end of a horse from the other." It sounded perhaps a little judgemental, especially with the soft English tones in which her words were spoken. But her humor filled smile hinted that there was no malice in her comment as she absentmindedly brushed a stray strand of dark hair back from her face. She took the proffered hand and shook it, her grey eyes glimmering slightly in the low light of the barn. "Amelia" She retorted, introducing herself for the first time since moving here. "And this is Tarkin." She clapped the horse on his muscular dappled neck and he snorted in acknowledgement, making his owner chuckle. The horse lipped at her hair, eager to be moving. "I should get moving. Someone is getting impatient." She said eyeing the grey stallion, who was usually quiet as a lamb but could get incredibly hot headed if he wanted to. She wanted to say he was welcome to come and watch if he wanted, but worried that might sound a little odd to someone she just met.
