SpyGlass Ranch [Open]

Trucker
Trucker Grinned, as he'd nip Fay, waiting for her to wake Up.. Trucker flicked his forelock at a faint mosquito.. He'd lower his head..

Fay
     Fay was sleeping peacefully until Trucker nipped her. She slowly opened her eyes, and looked up at him. "Somethin' up?" she asked yawning. She looked around a bit, and there wasn't much going on right then and there. She did although glance at the stallion from the day before. She didn't pay much attention to him, and looked back at Trucker.

Trucker
Trucker frowned, Raising his tail, as his voice was quite excited.. He'd Snickered, putting on a massive grin.. He'd stand in front of Fay putting their foreheads together "So you want a foal or not?:

Fay
     "Of course I do." she said looking up at him and paused,"It's just a bit frightening since it'd be my first time..." she said turning to look at the ground. She really did want a foal, but when it's the first time every mare is scared. 

Trucker
Trucker stood Next to Fay, lifting his tail down as his excitement drained. " We don't have to? Theirs always next season, and then a season after, and after that season! We have many seasons?" Trucker Snickered

Fay
     "Trucker I want to. It's just always a bit frightening when it's the first time. This will be my first time, and I'm glad it'll be with you." she looked at him with a smile as she nuzzled him. "I want to. I really want to." she said assuring him.

Trucker
Trucker pierced his eyes, Laying down next to Fay.. He'd respect her words, and simple Closed his eyes..

Fay
     She looked down at him, and smiled. She stood standing, and looked around. There was a slight breeze as her mane and tail flowed in the softness of it. The place was beautiful, and she enjoyed to just take in the beauty of her home. She enjoyed living here with her friends, and Trucker. 

Admiral
Admiral whinnied in a questioning way when Kisa entered her stall and clipped her onto a lead rope. Usually, Lucy was the one to lead her in and out of her stall for grooms. She didn't think about it too much when she remembered that Lucy said she would be taken out for a trail ride. Kisa lead Admiral to the wash stall where she gave the mare a quick groom and picked her hooves before tacking her up. The saddle was very light and movable, which was ideal for a relaxing trail ride. Admiral stood still as Kisa unclipped her from the cross ties and walked her right back out. 

Kisa
Kisa stopped walking and used the pasture fence as a mounting block to get on Admiral. She adjusted her feet into the stirrups and grabbed the reins before urging Admiral to a walk. The horse complied quicker than usual, which gave Kisa hope that they were finally getting the hang of it. When Kisa tried getting Admiral to trot, however, a form of miscommunication appeared and Admiral tried turning to the right. "Oh Admiral, don't turn, go faster, trot. Come on girl" She urged until Admiral began trotting, and then the two were off.  

Esprit
Clay finally came to lead Esprit back to her own pasture- but first, a short walk at dusk. Esprit longed to stretch her legs- and sure, she would miss Kosmo, but she enjoyed it being just herself, Clay, and Remy again. Clay rambled on to Esprit, and she listened to his soft voice as she watched the sun go down over the mountains. 

Clay
When the opportunity came up to drive Kosmo around the circuits for a year, Clay didn't recognize his own voice when he spoke up and offered too. He'd simply said yes and walked off. Esprit will be due to foal a month after I get back- I need something new, at least until Esprit is fit to ride again. Clay took Esprit on a walk, it would be one of their last for a while. Kosmo's first event was less than a week away- and not that there was really any training to do for him, there was still lots to be done. Clay had to pack up his life and throw it in a big air conditioned truck and trailer, along with a short, muscular stallion that hated anything to do with being ridden. 

Fay
     Fay was set to be due around late March. Her and Emma still went on some rides, but didn't do much intense stuff like barrels once she reached a few months. When she was riding with Emma through the trails, she was happy even though that was really all they could do. Fay spent most of her time in the pasture, and mostly just galloped around, but not too much of course. She even got to know some of the mares she hadn't met yet including Monica. When she overheard some of the mares talking about her friend, she snapped at them. Fay was always willing to do what needed to be done.
     Whenever she had the chance, she spent time with Trucker. Even though they were once again separated by a fence. Though, it didn't really matter. They still got to see each other. As each day passed though, Fay grew more scared about the day when she will actually become a mother. She was still frightened about it all.

Monica
     Monica slowly got out of her antisocial bubble when she was with Fay. She enjoyed hanging out with her, and they did have a few things in common. Both of them were antisocial when they arrived, and were shy. They both learned to go past that, and make friends. Monica congratulated her friend, and often galloped around the pasture with her. Though the both of them were careful. Emma entered her and Monica in a couple of shows every now and then while they won some ribbons. Ribbons didn't really mean anything to Fay, but they meant the opposite for Monica. Sometimes Emma rode Monica through the trails with Fay ponied behind. Fay was fine with it since she knew she couldn't really be ridden. She needed to exercise anyway. Monica grew to be happy here, and she loved it here with her new friends.

Admiral
An hour later, Admiral was trotting back toward the barn, which was now in view. She halted briefly to look at a butterfly that flew in front of her nose before Kisa got her moving again. It was hot and Admiral was sweating under her coat/ Kisa seemed to notice as she promised Admiral would get a nice wash when they got back. Admiral was not very happy about that. 

Kisa
Kisa loosened her grip on the reins slightly and closed her eyes. She enjoyed the cool breeze that blew through her hair, though it was very little and did nothing to soothe her from the heat. She focused back to the ride ahead and for the last few yards they cantered. When they reached the barn, Kisa dismounted and called Lucy over to them. 

Lucy
Lucy ran toward Kisa and grabbed Admiral's reins. She nodded when Kisa told her to give the mare a nice wash and then turn her into the pasture, and then Lucy led Admiral away. Lucy did just as Kisa asked. She untacked the mare and gave her a nice wash before she turned her out to the pasture where she would trot around happily. 

Fay
     Fay grazed peacefully in her little spot at the pasture. She was by the oak tree, and in the sun. It was now fall, so leaves fell and the weather got colder. Fay was used to harsh winters. She was from Maine, and Maine gets the most snow in the US besides Alaska. At least that's what she thought. Though, it didn't really matter the only difference was that she was carrying a foal. There were still several months before winter, so she didn't have to worry about that now. Emma walked in the pasture, and Fay turned around and walked over to greet her rider. Fay missed going on actual rides, and training, but by this time next year, she'd be back to it. 

Emma
     Emma tried to get some time with Fay each day. Even if it was just a few minutes in the pasture with her. She pet Fay, and brushed some of the loose hairs off of her coat. "Looks like your winter coat has started to come in. It's a bit early, but you did come from Maine. That's probably just it," she said before going back to her chores.

Kosmo
Kosmo wasn’t a fan of the man who loaded him in the trailer. Kosmo snorted, “Hey, I just got here. Where are we going?” The man didn’t seem to care about Kosmo’s attempts to get away, and just kept pushing him in the trailer. Kosmo snorted again and obliged. “Maybe he won’t be so bad when he we get where we are going…” Kosmo hung his head out of the trailer and nickered goodbye to any horse that would listen. Suddenly, Kosmo saw the man, who he now knew was named Clay, carrying and loading Kosmo’s tack into the trailer. “Oh great- this just keeps getting better and better.” 

Clay
Clay said his goodbyes to Esprit, loaded Kosmo and the last of his things, and started the engine of the truck. “Here goes nothing Kosmo…” Clay glanced back one last time at the ranch, and turned up the radio. His voice was softer this time, “Here goes nothing…” 

Fay
     Fay watched the bronc get loaded in the trailer, but was distracted by Emma. Emma had her lead rope and halter as she walked into the pasture towards Fay. She placed the halter on, and attached the lead rope. It was the time of the day Emma brought Fay on a walk around the ranch. Fay enjoyed having these walks, and it helped her to connect with Emma more.

Emma
     Emma enjoyed taking Fay on the walks around the ranch. "Come on girl, it's that time again," she said as she got Fay. She kept at a slow walk because of Fay. She wanted to keep being careful, and didn't mind the slow pace. When they were done, Emma placed her back into the pasture, and went to go do her chores.

Fay
     When they were finished, Fay was placed back in the pasture. She slowly walked to the fence near the pasture Trucker was normally in. Fay laid down against the fence, and looked around. Though she wasn't really one to lay down, so this was unusual for her. Lately, Fay had been keeping to herself which was also unlike her since she wasn't so shy around anyone anymore. She was quiet, and did less and less each and every day. Well other than the fact that she was carrying a foal that grew each and every day. Fay didn't know whether or not if it was normal to feel how she was then and there, or if something was wrong. She wasn't sure, so she kept quiet and tried to act as normal as possible.
