The tall boy walked into the barn hearing the multitude of horses whinnining around him. A smile crept across his gruff face as he remembered why he loved coming here. A few stalls down his dappled princess put her large head over the stall door and called for him,he couldnt help but laugh because her ears were like antenae and it looked as if they were broken the way they were both hanging off to the side. His long and graceful strides brough his toned physique to her door and his large bear paw hands rubben tenderly at her muzzle. She bobbed her head gently roughing him up for the mint she knew he had. Fumbling through his pockets he brought out the red and white treat.
Slipping into the stall he brought in a full set of brushes. He hung the green container on the wall and began currying her grey coat.She sighed and began to relax and he began to work her over. Within minutes he was on to a brush as he had just groomed her properlly the previous day and he hadn't let her out last night. He picked her feet and left the stall leaving for her tack. Calling to him from a few feet away he could tell she was ready to work. The smell of leather filled Toni's nose as he walked into the filling tack room, he grabbed Melody's saddle and briddle as well as her martingale and pads. With quick motions he had her tacked up and she pushed him around eager to get out and work.
Leading his anxious mare out of her box stall he put his helmet on and began walking with her out the barn and towards the outdoor jumping arena. With all the energy she had it would be best to jump her. He mounted her and clucked quietly at her applying only a little bit of pressure. She moved easily arching her neck and taking long graceful strides. Now as he entered the arena he waited searching for anyone else to ride with. She always did better with a little competition.

A lithe shillouette appeared in the barn entrance, she stood quietly watching the horse and rider go. She let a smile cross her kissers, a little socializing would be a nice change.
She walked past each stall arriving at Byrds stall, she was a dark bay thoroughbred mare with a tan muzzle. The mare stuck her large head out of the stall awaiting Amy. Slender digits stroked the horses cheek, she placed a kiss on the mares muzzle and went to the tack room, she retrieved her tack and grooming caddy as well as an apple. She gave the mare the crimsona dn yellow fruit and opened the stall door, brushing the thoroughbred untill she shined. After tacking up she placed her white helmet over her light brown hair and fatstened the buckle. She rubbed the mares forhead and led her out of the stall and to the arena where she found the pair who had left just as she entered. She smiled and opened the gate, Her grey blue eyes scanned the duo. They looked good. She mounted and approached the boy and horse cautiously "HI, I'm Amy" she said softly,nodding.

Melody began sidestepping from impatience and suddenly stopped as the metal gate opened and another pair came into the ring. For once she was calm and actually seemed attentive to the fact that another horse was in the arena. He smiled as her voice hit his ears. Applying some pressure his horse eagerly trotted over to the pair his posting absolutely immacualte. Melody stopped and cautiously sniffed at the mare a little squeal of excitement leaking from her velvet kissers.
"Im Toni, um Im about to jump at around 5 feet as a warm up are you ok with that I can go lower if you want"
He knew five feet was a big warm up, but his high strung mare could most definantely handle it. Blue sparkles radiated from his eyes as he studied the pair, the girl was fairly good looking and his lopsided grin played across his face. The girl looked a bit younger in him, but now was not necessarly the time for getting the girl. He reined his mare away and began warming her up to the left stretching out her legs before he had her trotting.
She picked up a nice pace as he clucked for her trot he rose immeadiately on the right lead and began asking her to skip as a nice warm up. He sat for this excersise so not to upset her stride. Sweat began to roll down Toni's neck as he turned to watch the other pair's activity. She still hadn't told him if it was okay or not.

She smiled and nodded as he asked if it was an ok heigth. His name was Toni. She watched them for a moment before asking for an extended trot in the empty half of the arena, she was more into dressage but a good jumping session wouldin't hurt Byd any. She qued the mare for a half pass which she excuted perfectly. She reached down to pet the mares brown hide. Stopping she watched he pair then asked for an extended canter. She did a couple flying lead changes to get warmed up then a collected trot, one eyes always on the pair.

He smiled at the girl watching her horse execute everything she asked with perfect form. He reined his horse to the center and tied her to a lone post so that she wouldn't try to frolic with Amy's horse. Walking over to an oxer he set it at the 5 foot setting and walked to the next jump repeating it and then set a double to 3 feet and then 4.5 feet. Melody was getting pissed at just standing there and she put her rump to Toni. He laughed at her calling her name and laughing.
"I have a snob who thinks shes human"
He called to Amy as he noticed her always watching he made a wink at her trying to make her go red. The grin that stretched his face made him look extremely hot and he knew it and he milked it for all he could. It was a new year and a new year meant a new start and a new girl. In his head he wondered if she recognized him yet as she seemed to be an informed equestrian he remounted and continued warming her up copying Amy's drills.

She watched him, noticing his nice body, his grin. She laughed at his remark, I've met a lot of those, My mother was an equine rehabilitataor she said. He winked at her, this didn't make her go red, it would take abit more than that. She clucked and Byrd moved out into a beautiful Piaffe. "good girl" she said to the mare.
