Bridges Pole Ranch And Academic Centre | (PAUSED)

     London opened her eyes a bit to look at Bridge as he snuggled up beside her. She watched him for a few minutes before she fell asleep again. The barn was entirely quiet. It was odd, but London thought it was relaxing. The riders all eating in the dining hall, and all the horses keeping to themselves. For once things were just peaceful and not full of shenanigans. Not that they were bad. Just the rider's having fun and always talking. London never minded that since she seemed to always get attention from everyone including treats.

     Leslie just did a small laugh, "Come on. The line starts over here," she said before they made their way over. She let Randy go in front of her as they got in line. She grabbed her plate, and filled it with different kinds of food while almost hopping on her good foot. Somehow she managed everything on her own. Maybe just a small hidden talent? Balance? Leslie just shook her head as she went over to the others.

     "You all don't always have to wait for me. I know where you all sit." she said before they all made their way over to the table they were seated at. Leslie set her plate down first before leaning her crutches on a part of the table before she finally sat down. "Do you guys know what Mrs. Wolf did with that guy? I haven't seen her since she took him to her office earlier..." she asked still a bit shooken up about what happened earlier. What even was the point? Just to grab someone, throw them on a horse, and the horse just to run to another ranch? Something was up, and Leslie got the feeling there might have been more to it. Though it was like she could still feel that man touching her.

"No, but I did see Lucas and Neveah follow Mrs. Wolf into the office with the guy, but I don't know after that. Mrs. Wolf is sneaky and quiet when she has the chance to do something. But we all don't know what until the thing happened to all of us, though I did see Lucas and Neveah go to their dorms. Eerie, they would always come here first then head to their dorms, but they are twins so I do not know anything." Lilithe told Leslie, Lucas and Neveah were the inseparable twins that they would do everything together, even clean their horse and share it.

"I saw Mrs. Wolf come up to me after she exited the barn, she did say that she thought about putting the guy to jail, then SHE ACTUALLY DID IT! But I did not see her after that, she's probably sleeping early for tomorrow, she's prepping for something and we all can tell by how she acts." Ava butted in, she then stopped talking to eat her meal.

Randy looked at her meal before feeling disgusted about it, but she did suck it in and began to eat her meal instead of picking at it like a child would do at dinner time, though she did suck in her feelings and ate her meal until she finished and threw the tray away.

"Hey are you okay?" Winter asked Randy, she looked worried at her.

"Oh uh, yeah I'm fine! I'm Randy!" Randy said, she introduced herself to everyone at the table, minus Leslie since she knows her.

"Are you sure? Only a rider that doesn't want to eat can freely leave for their dorm." Lilithe asked Randy, Randy gulped and told the truth that she didn't want to eat after hearing what Leslie said, it had rung in her head.

"Oh it's alright! Your just new here that's all! You don't have to worry about a thing! But you can go if you want to, you don't have to stay up with us. I bet you have a schedule, so don't mess it up!" Ava shooed Randy off, she did say her goodbyes, then she left for her dorm.

     Leslie ate a bit as she listened to Lilithe. She had yet to meet Lucas and Neveah, but she heard rumors that they were inseparable twins. "Well..at least he won't do anything like that to the rest of us again.." she said a bit quietly. She felt better knowing Mrs. Wolf had dealt with the man. "She's always up to something...I'm sure she has another surprise for us in the morning." she said with a bit of a yawn.

     She then looked over at Randy, "We won't keep you." she said before she finished up the last few bites of food she had left. Leslie then looked down feeling a bit bad, "I apologize...I should watch my mouth sometimes..a lot happens here, and you'll soon learn what all goes on here..I've only been here a little over a year, and I'm just learning about what happens here.." Leslie then stood up, "I should head to bed..it's been a long day.." she said as she said good night and went to throw her tray away before she left the dining hall.

     Leslie first went to check on London and Bridge. She quietly entered the barn as she noticed it's never been this quiet. It seemed all the horses were asleep. Even London and Bridge were. Because of this, Leslie stayed as quiet as she could not wanting to wake anyone. She just smiled as she looked at the two before she headed to her dorm for the night. She eventually made her way to her dorm as she walked in and quickly got ready for bed. Leslie slowly crawled into bed and closed her eyes. Sleeping wasn't as easy as the night before since she woke up several times, but she did get sleep. That was all that mattered. 

When some hours rung, Mrs. Wolf woke up right at 2:00! Before anyone would get up, then she went outside of her property as she walked into the barn and woke up every horse, she did the samething that happened yesterday. Bridge soon woke up and eagerly to go as he ate some hay.

Then Mrs. Wolf opened every stall door as the horses one by one went to the hotwalker, Bridge followe behind as Midnight sure to make sure that he didn't fall on accident as he angled himself Midnight then waited patiently for London as she and then Bridge waited for her, all the horses knew where they went when they were placed in the hotwalker.

Though Mrs. Wolf giggled as she then locked the gate when every horse were in their correct spots from yesterday; Bridge in the inside of the circle, as London was middle, and Midnight the outside when they were next to the gate previously. Mrs. Wolf then started to redo the barn floor, and connected it to the partial outside of it, then she used the same rubber material that was in the road and she wanted to connect them together.

Though it didn't take long for Mrs. Wolf to finish the flooring and started to build up some hooks, outside of the horses stall, each one for a different tack piece, though the saddle wasn't included as it was too big, so that remained in the closet. Then Mrs. Wolf started to make a cabinet where th barn doors were but off to the side, like on a solid wall, then she built it against the wall.

Mrs. Wolf took precautions, so she also made a ladder attached to a wall that led up to the loft easier, then she started to lower the loft a little bit so rider's alike could stand up, then she took down the walls. But somehow she finished it all but she made so many more plans, so it would take a two more days to be completed.

And that was when everyone stood at the barn doo entrance, amazed at how fast Mrs. Wolf could build! Even Randy was surprised at her speed, but she bet that Mrs. Wolf was used to building so it didn't take her long, then when Mrs. Wolf got done for the day, she made a noticed board next to the Rider's Lounge. To the left since the newly-built ladder was on the right, everyone then examined their stalls one by one.

Ava was amazed and in awe at how fast the barn shifted so much, then she saw Mrs. Wolf put up a scheme to build on of those lifters outside of the barn so that they could lift hay and many other things into the hay loft, they could also use it as a fire pole, except that you needed gloves.

Then Mrs. Wolf finished up with all the seven schemes on top of each other but they showed in corners or the corner of the notice board, Jacob took a good look before Lucas and Neveah came into the barn, Lucas a short trimmed hair and normal clothes like a town-boy and Neveah with braids and dressed up like a country girl but with some class.

But that was when Mrs. Wolf had the two walk into the lounge as there was a new wardobe built-in and everyone could change from their normal clothes to their riding clothes whenever they pleased, there was also a large tall closet and drawer off to the left as they held riding clothes and the drawer was labelled with each name tag with two people assigned to a drawer.

The closet was more for the helmets, boots and riding crops for everyone, though it was also labelled and it had hangers for the labelled names with boots in bags hanging from the hangers that were labelled, kinda like a store but with names..



I should've said that it was like a store instead of that confusing mess, should I cross it out and put the store description instead?

     London woke up when she heard someone walk into the barn. The mare yawned before she slowly got up and stuck her head out of the stall to see who it was. Mrs. Wolf as always. London let Bridge go first as she slowly followed him. When it was her turn, she went into the hotwalker waiting for it to start. She was still tired, but she put it aside. When the hotwalker started, London quickly started to walk at the right speed to keep rhythm.

     Leslie twist and turned all night trying to get a few hours of sleep, but wasn't that successful. Oh well. Better luck next time. She eventually got up and slowly got ready. Leslie got dressed, put her hair in a ponytail, and took some more of the pain reliever medicine. "Maybe today I can actually relax," she said to herself as she put on her sock and boot before she left her dorm to head to the barn.

     Seemed like she was the last to arrive again since everyone was already standing in the doorway ready for whatever the day had in store for them all. Leslie didn't mind too much since there wasn't too much for her to do unlike the others. Wouldn't matter too much if she were to sleep in, but she didn't. "The barn looks great!" she said before looking at Randy, "There's always something new here, and some things you just don't question about Mrs. Wolf," she said whispering the last bit so Mrs. Wolf couldn't hear.

     Leslie then checked London's stall, "The hooks will help tremendously! I was just using this old rusted nail to hold London's halter," she said with a bit of a laugh. "I'm assuming the horses are in the hotwalker again." she said to herself before she went in the rider's lounge. "It looks great in here too. Oh yeah. Forgot I still had my other boot and my helmet in here," she laughed.

"Hm, oh?" Randy walked over to a loose nail that fell down, though there was a cracking and crackling sound, before long a floor board had began tp fall, but Mrs. Wolf grabbed Randy as she got her away from the board. She wasn't too sure about the rot of the wood anymore..

"Alright, Lucas, Neveah, Ava, Jacob, Tyler, Lilithe, and Amy, help me get some more wood. And good wood too! I want the ceiling to contain fresh wood! No rot anywhere!" Mrs. Wolf commanded, Randy was in shock but Ava came over and hugged her then she ran over to the new ladder and climbed it.

Honestly Ava could have took the elevator up, but that was still too fancy, so she waited for the barn to look more upgraded and not too fancy to look like a big lodge! Instead, something fancy like the elevator, but the new rubber matierial for the horses would be perfect, and it was a replica from the property's drive way anyways!

Though Ava did check mark all the wood near to it's fall, Jacob and Tyler then came back with some fresh wood, then Ava, Lilithe and Tyler went up the ladder with the new wood so that they could replaced the neary wood in the ceiling, at least that they could reach and nail into the original wood's spot. Then they used a termite spray to keep termites and other bugs away from the barns new wood.

Then Mrs. Wolf ordered the group to go and hook up the new lift for the hay as well, and sure enough she helped as they had gotten it finished, Mrs. Wolf walked over to the notice board and took the Hay Lift Blueprints off as they finished that.

"Now only six more blueprints to go, this will be fairly easy, though I'll let them have a break first to train their horses next." Mrs. Wolf said, she turned around and announced that everyone could train their horses now after some minutes out in the hotwalker. And sure enough everyone trained and put their horses back.

But Bridge was still too energectic, so Randy took her mare to the pasture as Bridge followed out of curiosity and then he was locked in, though he grew a little bit of height, so he saw over the pasture's fence now. And he then returned to the quiet and soft natured Midnight was, and then they ran around the pasture!

Though I'm not sure about London, is she a bit jealous of the gentle natured horse Midnight was? Could be, mares can get jealous of each other, but Midnight and Bridge were only out there so that they could get their energy out.

     Leslie turned around to see Mrs. Wolf grabbing Randy to get her out of the way. She quickly hurried over, "Are you alright?" she asked her before looking at the board that fell as she looked at Mrs. Wolf, "I thought you just got rid of the wood with rot on it. You all just redid the barn not even a week ago." She just looked up at where the board fell, "This barn just has too many surprises.." 

     She then brought her attention back to Randy, "At least you aren't hurt..you can go in the rider's lounge if you need to. I need to do some things.." Leslie said before she went back over to London's stall. She grabbed the mare's haynet and took it to go get refilled while staying out of anyone's way. Once she was finished, Leslie hung it back up before grabbing and turning on the nearby hose. Leslie then filled up the mare's water bucket for later. Leslie turned off the hose, and hung it back up before took a moment to sit down.

     That was when Mrs. Wolf let everyone train..well except for her. Leslie just sighed as she watched everyone tack up their horses and leave to go train. Once everyone left the barn, Leslie went and grabbed London after Randy got her mare. "At least your getting some kind of exercise while I have to take it easy girl. I know you don't like it, but I'll be riding again soon," she said as she attached the lead rope to the halter before she decided to bring London to the pasture.

     London just calmly and slowly walked behind Leslie knowing to take it slow since she knew her rider was hurt because of her. Though London just patiently waited as Leslie unhitched the lead rope from the halter before she walked to her spot of the pasture. Like always, her ears were pinned. Mostly because of Bridge hanging out with the new mare. London just snorted as she watched the two before she tried calling Bridge over. Though he just ignored her.

When Bridge heard London call he forgot about her and then came bounding over to her, the little colt looked more of a little stallion as some of his markings began to show, that meant he was growing taller, he must be eating something that is making him grow faster then normal!

Though Midnight also came over but she nudged Bridge to be more next to London, they did look alike and Midnight didn't want to ruin that relationship, so she then left them alone as she took a corner of the pasture and began to graze. Bridge just watched the mare nudge him and then leave for a spot to graze, he then looked up at London and tried to get to her forelock again, though when he failed, he used his two hind legs to grab London's mane instead.

Bridge then let go as it must've pained London to have him pull on her hair on accident, he then picked up a flower and had thrown into London's mane, the flower suited London's mane well. So he watched and examined the flower before picking up more and throwing them into London's mane and tail, all the flowers going into the place that the more tougher hair was.

Bridge neighed at his artwork of the flowers decorating London's mane, he loved it so much that he began to prance around London happily, he then started to graze as well.

Then Midnight glanced at London's new mane and tail look, then she picked up a purple flower and began walking over to her, Midnight then placed the flower in London's forelock still fitting into a place where the flowers couldn't come out easily, then she did the samething that Bridge did to London. She was happy at the both of them as she neighed but trotted in a circle.

Bridge watched Midnight trot into circles before stopping to nuzzle him and London, she was careful of London first then she gently nuzzled Bridge carefully, the little colt did the samething with London's right leg since he couldn't reach London's face or neck, he could barely touch her chest where London's withers were. Midnight just laughed in a whinny, seeming to be happy at the two, though she did quiet down before nuzzling the two good bye and then she went back to her spot in the pasture.

     London just chose to graze until she looked up seeing the new mare and Bridge trotting over. She pinned her ears a bit as the mare got close even when the mare had nudged Bridge to go closer to her. London watched the mare leave before she looked down at Bridge nudging him softly almost motherly like. She just kept her head lowered slightly as he had tried to grab hold onto her forelock. The mare just stood there calmly flicking her tail around as Bridge grabbed hold onto her mane.

     She didn't mind. When Bridge had let go, London had nibbled on his mane which was starting to grow out and lean to the side. Every now and then London just stomped one of her hooves just to get a fly off of her leg. London then lowered her head to graze some before she looked at Bridge again then the flower he threw in her mane. The mare just nickered almost in a motherly way before Bridge started to put some more flowers in her mane even her tail.

     London just stayed where she was letting Bridge do what he was doing. She watched him happily prance around her before she nibbled on his ear a bit before she looked up seeing the new mare walking over again. Of course London pinned her ears a bit the closer the mare got, but London knew she couldn't just turn away. Instead she just snorted a bit as the mare placed a flower in her forelock before her and Bridge started to circle around her.

     Though she nuzzled Bridge as he tried to nuzzle her. London then started to groom his coat a bit. Leslie had looked around to see if there was anything for her to do, but unfortunately there wasn't. Instead of constantly seeing if there was anything to do, Leslie just went into the pasture and sat down in the grass. She leaned her crutches against the fence as she placed her back to the fence. Leslie then just watched London, Bridge, and the new mare. She saw most of everything that they were doing and couldn't help but to quietly laugh and smile. Leslie didn't want them to notice her or she figured they'd come searching for treats that she didn't have.

Bridge then decided to try and get London to move with her pretty flowers in her pretty mane, he then sniffed the flowers from London's tail is it smelled good, Midnight then started to graze as Bridge began to trot around the pasture, he had his eyes close yet he did good with his legs and Midnight looked up and neighed to him as Bridge opened his eyes again and looked over to neigh at Midnight.

He did neigh to London as well, his posture was good, his legs and neck stepped at a good angle, he would do well in show jumping and dressage competitions as he looked like he was doing normal dressage as horse does the beautiful trot with their rider on their back.

Though Bridge stopped as he neared the barn, that was when he noticed Leslie and neighed to her, he was curious about her today and decided to go up to her and greet her. Midnight just grazed as she plucked up flowers and added them to London's mane and tail, the beautiful different colors made the other horses neigh to London for her mane. Void just shook his head up and down to agree with the added flowers.

Bridge started to sniff Leslie for her smell today, and then he sniffed the crutches, showing no fear to them as he then started to try and nuzzle them. Then he knocked them down and showed who's the boss, but that was if Leslie didn't hold them tighter and forgot to grip them, but Midnight saw a tree and trotted up to it as she grabbed three apples..

One apple for London, one for Bridge, and then herself, she did give London the apple that tasted like candy since Mrs. Wolf plants Candy Apple trees, Midnight just chowed down on a Granny Smith apple that Amy planted! Sour but delicious, then Midnight went over and gave Bridge an apple, the red apples were good and Bridge chewed half of it as he gave the other half to Leslie.

     London just watched Bridge before she started walking around calmly. Every now and then she took a moment to stop and grab a bite of grass to eat before she continued on watching Bridge as he trotted around. She soon picked up to a trot giving Bridge a neigh in return as she tossed her head a bit getting energetic. London did watch Bridge still as she trotted over to him nipping him playfully before she picked up to a canter.

     Leslie just watched the two of them chuckling to herself before she noticed Bridge had saw her. "Well I expected you to be the one to find me first..I just expected it to be a lot sooner," she laughed as she gave him some attention, "Well someones a bit curious today," she said as Bridge sniffed at the crutches. She just stood up leaning against the fence as she gave him some pats, "Sorry bud. I don't have any treats on me right now."

     Though London eventually just slowed to a stop and started grazing. She did look up to see Midnight coming close again with more flowers, but again she couldn't get away even if she wanted to. Leslie just watched and laughed, "Oh come on girl. It's not that bad. They like you. I finally made some friends..why don't you?" London just looked at her snorting a bit before she rolled her eyes and looked at Void giving him another mare stare.

     She just walked a short ways away before Midnight gave her a apple. Once the mare left, London happily ate it. It wasn't often she got apples, but she loved them. Leslie just smiled as Midnight walked over, "Well looks like your new friend found some treats for the three of you." She just gave them both some pats before she left the pasture hoping there was something that needed done that she could do.

Bridge neighed good bye to Leslie as she left, he then cantered around the pasture, with some bucks, kicks, and jumping for no reason. Midnight just got worried for him as she trotted over to him and started to sniff him to find and eliminate the weird behaviour, but Bridge felt her sniffing him and he jumped a little bit to back up. Midnight backed up as well, then she began to try and sniff him again.

Bridge just kept acting like a foal before he ran over to London and hid on the opposite of her to hide from Midnight, Midnight just trotted after him, she was worried for Bridge and wanted to try and see where the weird behaviour began. Though she did stop when she followed after Bridge and she stopped due to London being a little or more over or just protective of him.


In the barn, Mrs. Wolf was handing out posicles to everyone, and they just groomed their horses as their horses one by one was handed a Horse Popsicles, obviously for horses since Mrs. Wolf had no plastic on them as she handed them with their own personalized treat stick as well.

Mrs. Wolf had an idea and wanted to give everyone a day to relax with also hanging out with their horses, Bridge then smelled the treats that rider's give to their horses and decided to want to go into the barn, so he grabbed some distance away from the fence and then galloped to his heart and had successfully jumped over the fencing since he was too tall to go under the fencing.

Midnight watched Bridge jump, then she did the samething since she also smelled the treats, she was sure that London smelled the treats as well and wanted to be in the barn so she would have to jump over the fence like what Bridge and Midnight did.

Though back in the barn, Mrs. Wolf was chewing on a popsicle as she watched Leslie walk into the barn, she smiled as she called Leslie over to get a popsicle as well, she didn't want Leslie to feel left out since the other rider's had a popsicle that they were chewing on or licking it.

     London just grazed peacefully for a small bit before she laid down and started to roll around in the grass and flowers. She just thought about herself for a few minutes ignoring Bridge. Even though that might not have been the smartest thing to do since that colt was a handful. Though after a few good moments of rolling around, London got back up and shook off the dirt and grass that collected onto her dark chestnut coat. Some of the flowers in her mane and tail had fallen out, but most of them had stayed in place.

     The mare then just looked up seeing Bridge running around being the colt he was when she noticed Midnight offly close to him as she seemed to be sniffing him. London just made sure Bridge was ok once he ran over to her side before she looked at the mare. She snorted stomping the ground a few times pinning her ears. London then just turned and guided Bridge to another side of the pasture.

     Though that was when Bridge went and run to the fence jumping over it. London looked worried as she neighed trying to call him back, but it was no use. Then she watched the new mare do the same. London just looked around seeing she was the only one left. The mare just flicked her tail unsure of what to do. She never jumped the pasture fence. No matter how much she loved jumping, she would never jump the pasture fence. Never.

     London just stood there looking at the fence then the barn. Should she do it? Oh well. She didn't want to be alone or left out of anything. London just picked up to a extended canter as she jumped the pasture fence clearing it with ease. Mainly because it was way lower then what she was used to jumping. Though London just slowed to a walk as she cautiously walked into the barn unsure about things.

     Leslie had went on a small "walk" around the place before she went back to the barn to see if there was anything she could help with. She was bored. Though when she walked in, she saw Mrs. Wolf passing out popsicles to both the riders and the horses. She grabbed and thanked her before she leaned against London's stall and began enjoying her popsicle. Leslie only laughed when she saw Midnight and Bridge coming in, and London slow behind the two, "It's alright girl. Come here."

"No problem, enjoy the popsicle!" Mrs. Wolf said as Leslie was leaving, she then looked back into the cooler or cart full of ice, though there were a few popsicles left.

Void noticed London when he was going to take a drink from his water trough, he then neighed quite loudly so that she would notice Void, though Picante didn't care as he showed little interest at what Void was doing, instead he was focused on the popsicles.

"Alright Picante, I'll give you a horse-friendly popsicle for you too." Mrs. Wolf said as she grabbed a popsicle for Picante as she slid the popsicle through the window of the stall door, open and airy that he took it gently from her hands and began eating the popsicle.

Rose just rubbed Picante's face gently as the stallion nibbled and bit the popsicle he was eating, though Mrs. Wolf laughed at Picante as the popsicle fell out of his mouth and onto the floor as the popsicle was beginning to fall anyways.

Jacob was licking his popsicle in peace as he giggled at Picante as the stallion picked up the popsicle that fell, Void also seemed to laugh as well as Picante neighed to him, and Void replied back, though Bridge was looking through the cart full of icy and hard popsicle's Mrs. Wolf didn't notice until Bridge took a popsicle and trotted away with it.

"Well you can make more, it's not really difficult making horse-friendly popsicles after all." Jacob said quite happily, his happy mood was lighting up the barn more.

"You are right about that, but I should go and give away the rest of the popsicle's before Midnight or London do the samething." Mrs. Wolf said but Midnight already had gotten a popsicle as well and went over to the closet to continue munching on it.

"Oh well, London do you want a popsicle?" Mrs. Wolf asked London as she picked up a popsicle and held it infront of her as she walked over to Leslie to give London the treat, she was really happy this morning then!

     Leslie smiled and thanked her for the popsicle before she went to go sit down. She placed the crutches along the stall door as she unwrapped the wrap she had on her ankle for a bit before she started to enjoy her popsicle. It seemed to distract herself from what seemed to be worrying her, but she stayed silent about it. All she had to do was stay off her ankle for awhile then she could be back to riding. That is if everything went right.

     Though London only hesitantly jumped the fence not wanting to be the only one to be left out in the pasture. Even if she knew not to jump a pasture fence. There were times to jump, but she only felt a bit left out. London eventually walked into the barn peeking her head in seeing most of everyone in there. She still hesitated a bit, but she only looked over at Void. Then the diva came out a bit as she pinned her ears snorting at him a bit.

     The mare then unpinned her ears as she saw the strange treats being passed out. Her attention went to them as she looked at the one Mrs. Wolf held out for her. She only sniffed it unsure of what it was, but it seemed like she wanted it since she followed Mrs. Wolf over to Leslie. London didn't take her eyes off of the strange treat as she seemed pretty interested in it. She only followed it like a big old dog.

     Leslie smiled as she grabbed London's popsicle as she laughed seeing how the mare followed it, "Oh? Never had a popsicle before girl?" she said with a laugh as she offered the mare the popsicle. London only sniffed at it some before she started to nibble on the treat. "I think it's safe to say she likes it." Leslie laughed as she rubbed London's face smiling. "Eat it slowly girl. Eat it too quick and you'll get a brain freeze."
