Bridges Pole Ranch And Academic Centre | (PAUSED)

"Oh I know some training tips, I can help you with your late night session! If you need me for that really, but go have fun if you want too as well!" Ezra said, she smiled before saying goodbye to Leslie, Ezra's mare just poked her face around the corner as she saw Leslie and got interested in her before going off into the barn fully.

"Ah, Paint will never stop being like London, hm, probably never since she's competitive in competitions.. At least I'm happy to star as the entertainment before the actual show starts with competitions, that's why they call it the "Big Show" it's like a circus really." Ezra said to herself as she reminded herself of that, making sure London didn't hear that as she got up and started to head off into the barn as well.

While in the barn, Ezra hopped onto her mare as she started taking off the tack her style, which was weird but quite acrobatic as everyone could see why she does it all the time. Paint didn't mind the tack being taken off Ezra's style, she was just used to it really, but she did act like London when being protective and all..

"Buck! I told you no on that!" a rider said, the pinto stallion now had a name and his name was Buck, though he did trot into the forest to go wild and everything.

"Stallions.." the same rider said, she kinda acted like Leslie but returned to her tack cleaning as she watched Buck trot off into the forest, which is what he did now.

"Oh hey Ezra! How's being the star of entertainment doing?" the rider said, Ezra blushed as she went under Paint's barrel to take off a rather special piece of tack.

"Doing good, I'm just practising with Paint over here all the time, if I need to, I might do some late acrobatics in the dressage pen. So that I can entertain everyone before the show starts really! They needed a girl who can use her acrobatics on a horse, and they got me as I was experienced in it before I even knew! I still rather want my job I'm wanting but being agile can lead to bigger dreams!" Ezra said, Paint was full of determination and rather excited as she neighed.

"Ha ha! Look who's excited to star as well!" Ezra laughed, she got back up on Paint's back and layed flat sideways on Paint's back as well as her own as she did a half sumersalt but landing on her feet quickly and perfectly.

"I call that move "The Big Ball" since it's a half sumersalt when laying on a horses back sideways, and I always land with percision, no one can argue with that." Ezra said, Paint was fully revealed to be a buckskin but with darker dunskin points and a splash that covered her sides and her whole face as Paint's eyes were green and blue on the opposite side.

"I still can't get over how your mare looks compared to London, their both beautiful in their own way but both are treasured perfectly, I still favor both as my favorites." the rider said, Ezra laughed with happiness as Paint went to her stall and Ezra closed it.

     Leslie nodded a bit, "I'll probably just wait til morning, but we'll see.." she said looking over at London before she bent down to grab the mare's lead rope. She just decided to keep London in the pasture for now, but she just wrapped the lead rope like a hose before she placed it on the pasture fence so that it was there when she came to bring London in. Once she made sure the lead rope stayed in place, she headed up to her dorm for a bit.

     She set some things on her bed before she redid her ponytail. "There." she said to herself as she looked over at a framed picture she had of Olivia and London. The silver horseshoe bracelet on Olivia's wrist. She never took it off. Not even while riding. Leslie just sighed as she placed the bracelet in front of the framed photo before she grabbed her phone. She never really was on it or even had it on her much.

     Though Leslie just rolled her eyes when she saw a couple text messages from her mom, but she just ignored them. All of them. She didn't care about what made her happy, so why should she deal with this nonsense? Leslie just started looking through her photos. Most of which being London, "Hmm...maybe I should get some pictures of Dallas..." she said saying her thought out loud before she set her phone and went to go grab London when she thought it was time.

     When Leslie got to the pasture, she grabbed the lead rope and whistled for London since she was on the far side of the pasture, "Cmon girl!" she called. London was just grazing on the other side of the pasture when she heard the whistle. The mare looked up at Leslie and neighed before she started galloping over. "Woah easy there. Don't be running into the fence London," she said as the are halted in front of her.

     Once she attached the lead rope to the mare's halter, Leslie brought London back to the barn. Though they both overheard the last bit of the conversation. London just seemed a bit offended, and Leslie only laughed. "It was a compliment girl.." she said as she put the mare in her stall after taking off the halter and lead rope before she went over to Dallas. "Hey boy." she said giving the stallion a couple pats, "I don't think I've seen a stallion this stunning and well mannered before.." she said more to herself.

"That's just surprises for ya, nothing ever makes sometimes, Paint used to act so different before coming ere'. But she has more freedom to herself and other mares to be friends with, but still incredibly protective of me if something goes wrong, or right. But in different directions, heh, I remember I bought Paint but mom thought I bought a wild mare so she auctioned her off, and oh boy I had the ride of my life with that mare never giving up. She has that wild and untameable spirit that not even the best of wranglers could break, she's like Spirit but twice the wild and untamed nature. Or three times.." Ezra said, Paint snorted and turned around with a grumpy mood, Ezra just patted the hind quarter and walked over to clean her tack up.

"Ezra I thought you said that you bought Paint from a circus because of "unjustice affairs" was I correct or incorrect bout' that?" a rider asked, heck it was the same rider!

"Sylvika, no your right, I just don't say anything about the fair, I'm still surprised that the big show is even hosting entertainment that includes me and Paint in a large, round, circle.. More like a circus and Paint acts a little giddy at circuses now, because of her past but I'm there to help, and she's been doing better at those kinds of shows." Ezra told Sylvika, the girls just cleaned their tack together.

"Ah alright, I keep forgetting I act like Mrs. Wolf- by the way, where is she? I haven't seen her in the barn for a little bit." Sylvika said, she was right which got the rider's a little nervous before Void and Nightfury came into the barn together.

"Yeesh you all didn't notice I took Nightfury or Void?" Mrs. Wolf asked, she got down from the front seat of a wooden carriage, Void was next to Fury on the right and she was on the left.

As Nightfury and Void were next to each other, Nightfury seemed to be a lighter black then Void since his dirty coat couldn't even be seen, Nightfury had a little light showing on her but not at all that much, Void just had shadows cast down from his side instead.

"Where did you go?" a rider asked, his question would be answered rather quickly as Mrs. Wolf had Tyler and Amy hop into the back of the carriage where the- romantic stuff happened? Or just talks and whatever in those movies.

"Just around the bend, had some folks saw me pulling in with two pure blackies, they wanted two younger riders in the back since they wanted a picture with me, another rider pair can fit across from Amy and Tyler, but only one rider can sit next up to me. So you all are gonna have to make a vote." Mrs. Wolf answered the question, but the riders were then deciding who was sitting across from Tyler and Amy.

"How about Leslie sits next to you? So that Ezra and Jack can take the reins when something goes bad since they have good senses and a rather good friendship with Void and Nightfury." a rider said, Mrs. Wolf nodded to that idea and it was settled but they weren't sure since it was a majority rule.

"Well Leslie can come if she wants, she doesn't need to be forced, she has free will and decision here, but I was also planning on getting some milkshakes and some pop with ice cream. Riders choice this weekend, and riders eat free for the ice cream sweet!" Mrs. Wolf said, the rider's got excited as some horses were too, Paint just ignored everyone for the time being.

"Awh Leslie you gotta come, it's really fun when we get to eat ice cream from the parlor shop!" a rider said, he sounded feminine so he must've been Jack as he hopped in last for the carriage to be full.

"Indeed, you get to eat as much ice cream as you want, or you can take home a free milkshakes!" Mrs. Wolf agreed, she even seemed excited to have some riders get spoiled with desire.

"And if Mrs. Wolf is in a good mood, she takes us shopping to whatever or wherever we want!" Jack added on, he was really excited to be insisting.

     Leslie just dug her hand into her pocket as she pulled out some peppermints while she looked at Ezra, "London was the same way. Both the riders and the horses had bad attitudes at my old barn, and she gave them all one in return. Even some of the meanest riders were scared of London," Leslie laughed as it was clear London was proud of herself for that. "But I'm glad I convinced myself to leave that place.."

     She got distracted by Dallas since he saw the peppermints, and Leslie forgot about them, "Oh sorry boy. Here you go." she said offering them to the stallion as Dallas happily ate the peppermints. London was jealous, "London you've gotten a lot of treats already..the new guy has to get some attention," she said rolling her eyes until Dallas nudged her enough she had to take a step or two back, "Sorry Dallas that's all for now," she laughed as she stroked him.

     Leslie looked around when the two riders mentioned Mrs. Wolf, but she just smiled when she saw her pull in with Void and Nightfury. "Those two will be sure to get attention out in public. People seem to like pure black horses...especially two of them," she said with a small laugh as she walked over to London's stall and snuck in a peppermint as she listened to the conversation.

     She just smiled and turned to face them, "Sure I'll go. I've been wanting to get out of here actually..." she said in a way so it didn't sound like it was a bad thing. "I could use some ice cream," she laughed as she pat both Void and Nightfury before she went and sat in the wagon where they wanted her to. "Well? We going or not? We don't have all day." she said as London seemed to want to go, "Sorry girl not this time, but I'll be back soon. Keep the barn in check while we're gone alright?" London just seemed to nod a bit as Leslie giggled.

"Yep! Just wanted to make sure everyone is comfortable first, safety and health come first for everything for me, including horses." Mrs. Wolf said, she lightly flicked the driving reins as Void started first as Night Fury pulled last but the two got into a perfect rthym of perfect steadiness and comfortability.

Though they did have to drive in a oval since the other side of the forest where the hotwalker, horse walker, etc, was since the wagon wouldn't be able to smoothly back up. But when they drove off into the forest for a tiny bit, it was calming, even Mrs. Wolf stood up as she pulled Void and Night Fury into a trot before stopping to see if there's any cars, scooters, skateboards, etc, driving past.

But when Mrs. Wolf got back into her spot for driving, Void and Night Fury both pulled together as they lightly turned and comfortably banked to the left since Mrs. Wolf wanted to take everyone to a new ice cream shop or parlor, wanting happiness and excitment out of them.

"Now we're gonna visit a new shop, be ready when you see a sparkly parking lot full of wagons as it's a parlor that allows cars, and wagons to park perfectly, which I want ya'll to try the ice cream out. I wanna see you all enjoy newer types of ice cream instead of the usual, and I can tell when some of you are bored of the same ice cream. That's why I spoil you lot." Mrs. Wolf said, Night Fury sighed and Void huffed a little bit, making Rose push them into a trot to recover stamina and enough energy to go back home.

"New ice cream parlor? Why didn't we get the call sooner?! I wanna see the new shop!" Amy said, she was purely more excited now.

"Well, it's not far, creating conversations for us on the way, I made sure to give enough feed and water to fill up Night Fury and Void for the tiny trip, pretty nearby as well." Mrs. Wolf said, she giggled as she told everyone to hold on.

"Leslie get comfortable since seatbelts weren't made on a wagon until the makers realized that is a danger, and I made this with my great grandpapi, when I was just a tiny tot, making me more wiser then the course." Mrs. Wolf said, she whistled in a kiss sound as she let go to hold on as Night Fury and Void turned slowly as they heard the wagon dragging behind until it was straight.

"And we're here, I'll park and feed these two while you all get some ice cream, I heard tis shop and parlor makes shakes! Any type you like as well!" Mrs. Wolf said, some of the riders alreayd jumped off without hesitation as Ezra and Jack hopped off when the wagon or really carriage was parked.

"I'll help will Jack and Leslie can explore together while the others figure out seats for themselves." Ezra said, she made sure to stick a back flip landing perfectly, Mrs. Wolf just giggled and smiled as Ezra did a little show off there.

"No showing off at new parlors or shops Ezra, and I know you can't help it, since you were born in a spanish circus." Rose said, Ezra just made an embarrassed face but smiled a little happily.

Jack then hopped down as waited for Leslie as he got the door for her, he was such a gentleman and a common friend to have! No wonder why Ezra and Jack get along perfectly, they were born to be friends!

     "Well let's just hope things go smoothly until the show. It's been ages since I've been in one, and I'm not missing out on this one. Show my old barn I'm back. I know London is excited too...she loves all of the attention during shows. She's normally the one with rare markings. I swear that mare is more spoiled then I was going up," she said with a bit of a laugh loosing her focus for a moment.

     Leslie was excited though. She hadn't really left the ranch since she was thrown onto that stallion. She just shivered a bit feeling the man's touch again, but she just snapped out of it. It did feel good to go exploring a bit while getting a treat in the meantime. Not that didn't love Bridges Pole, but it always felt good to leave once in awhile. Though Leslie did enjoy the wagon ride.

     She couldn't help but to let out a small laugh though as she looked back at Ava, "Let's just hope the horses don't get jealous when we get back. You know how they all can be," she laughed excited as well, "I am curious of Dallas though...kind of want to see how he moves and jumps." she said enjoying herself more then she had in the past few days. Her ankle bothered her a bit, but she was happy to be riding once more.

     Though she turned her attention to Mrs. Wolf laughing a bit, "Alright..I know I'm from the city, but I'm always up for something new. I think this is funner then a car. Not as much traffic either." she said before she readjusted her ponytail. Like it was her signature hairdo. It just kept her blonde hair away from her face. She wasn't much for fashion. Never was. Until her mother.

     Leslie just got excited again as they pulled up. Nice little wagon ride. She just got out as Jake held the door. She wasn't really used to boys and how they acted sometimes..whether or not they acted like gentlemen. She was never really around boys much, but it wasn't the bad thing. London just came first. Her and her horse. Though she was excited to check out the new parlor. First she gave Void and Nightfury some pats before she followed everyone inside.

     Dallas was just munching on his hay as London stuck her head out of her stall looking around for Leslie. Dallas just shook his neck as if his mane was there. He used to have it until it was cut off. He wasn't sure why, but he didn't really mind. Though he just looked over and saw the mare looking around as he too stuck out his head. Though he tried getting the mare's attention, but London just pinned her ears down to her skull before she turned around in her stall.

Mrs. Wolf giggled before heading inside while Ezra came in last, then she found an open seat and sat down, Mrs. Wolf just stood around and clicked a little bell that's usually found in a hotel, but the shop was new so it would come in with a bell to alert the employee.

But the employee quickly came out, the employee was any average man with a striped shirt and overhauls that were red, and he seemed way more friendlier then he should be, but he probably wanted everyone to be in a good mood then, Mrs. Wolf smiled as she was handed a menu, much like everyone else.

"Welcome and please read through our new menus, we have more then just a selection! Let your imagination run wild! But I will be your server for today and probably the weekend, but I'll make sure that your always welcomed with a warm smile from ear to ear." the guy said, he bowed gently and then counted how many people were there in the parlor shop, Mrs. Wolf seemed to have ordered a triple strawberry shake with extra strawberries with strawberry syrup and a cherry top.

"Yes, that one will take time, but I'm rather quick, so while your kids look through and decide, I can get that shake for you right away!" the guy said, he let Mrs. Wolf keep the menu for deciding anymore treats for her, even ice cream and root beer shakes were on the menu, the shop also had a candy store as it was right across the room.

Though just as the guy began getting everything for Mrs. Wolf's shake, he was already done and smiled, Mrs. Wolf smiled and took the chilly cold treat and started drinking it-while stirring it somewhat, the triple strawberries and extra strawberries with the syrup and cherry top were powerful!

"Woof- powerful, delicious!" Mrs. Wolf said, it was bet to be strong if Mrs. Wolf had a strong drink like that then! She never or barely says 'woof' in her sentence, making the shop her new dine n' stop! While still being near!

Then the guy began getting everyone else's, Ezra was still deciding until she came upon the custom shakes and she snickered as the guy asked if Leslie, Jack, and Ezra wanted to order something, while the first two got their treats, Ezra ordered something rather large..

"Oh.. Ezra are you gonna finish that big enough of a shake? Or an ice cream..?" Jack asked her, she smiled before looking at Jack and he looked away as Ezra was happy with her treat for the day, Mrs. Wolf did come up with a question as the guy seemed interested in it.

"Do I pay you anything?" Mrs. Wolf asked the guy, he said 'no' and left to go back to get some more stuff as he came back and opened the counter's flippable door and it was a candy box, so the employee went to the back where the candy was and started filling up the slots, places, and even machines like the gumball machine filled up, he had awhile to through then..

     Leslie just looked around as she walked into the parlor. Quite the nice place. Though it sort of reminded her of the city in a way, but she just ignored the thought. She never really like it there. There was no freedom. No adventure. Out here were both of those things, and many more. Maybe a bit too much adventure, but at least it never got boring at the barn..for the most part.

     Though she just smiled and sat down with everyone else before she looked at the waiter. "Sure hope Bridge doesn't get into any trouble..or even just get out of the stall again." she said with a laugh once the waiter left momentarily before she looked at the menu, "They really do have everything here.." she said unsure of what to get or even what to try first. So many options to choose from.

     It took Leslie a few minutes to even narrow the list down until she made a decision. Leslie decided upon a root beer float. A large sized one at that. She had just realized she hadn't really eaten yet that day. Though she also just loved root beer floats, and it had been a year or two since she had one. Leslie did end up looking at Mrs. Wolf, "When is the show again? Been so busy at the barn I kind of forgot when it was..I know it's soon..just don't know how soon though..." she said with a small laugh..

"Oh I forgot dear, my bad.. But I'll call the show owners after we have our treats." Mrs. Wolf looked at Leslie sweetly and told her the answer, she must've been extremely busy then to forget such an important thing!


Though at the barn, the same guy that lifted Leslie up on the stallion was walking into the barn to muck up the place since it was quiet, everyone must've been taking a nap since some horses were looking around and neighing as their water dishes and hay racks were empty.

"Might as well feed, groom, and water you guys then." the guy said aloud, he started with every horses that wasn't low on food or water, though the horses with the empty containers were picked out and taken to be tied up as the guy also cleaned the stalls, making sure the horses were groomed in the process as well.

Making sure every horse was groomed, fed, and watered before cleaning the barn up a bit, since some tack were still laying around while the other riders were sleeping so that they were awake and lively at morning tomorrow, the guy even made sure to clean, repair, and pick up after the barn.

He was just a sweet man really, someone so special to really do that for everyone met he must've been doing his job right, the guy even made sure to make sure that the notice board was being updated as he continued to clean the barn until it was spotless with perfection!

Some of the horses already liked the guys way of cleaning, as every horse was groomed, until they were squeaky clean and shiny, the guy even liked the horses company as he made sure to keep an eye on every horse as they were placed in the hot walker until they reach their max compacity as the guy returned them to their stalls to relax.


Back at the parlor, some of the group were eating some candy as the employee/friendly guy/waiter were watching them as it was for free until they came back as regular customers, which would be three days of free ice cream and candy, Mrs. Wolf didn't mind the free ice cream/treats/candy either as she enjoyed it.

Though as Mrs. Wolf was preparing to leave to check on Void and Night Fury, Ezra was done slurping and eating her cherry topping as she ran out with Mrs. Wolf to the wagon to-mostly practice her gymnastics, but she just wanted to do it to keep up her skills and be quite helpful as well.

Oh and Mrs. Wolf was done being on the call with the show owners as she told Leslie that they pushed it back another week without her notice, she didn't mind as Leslie had a week to train before three days to prepare for the big grand show! Mrs. Wolf wasn't going to be participating as she would ruin the fun for everyone anyways..

     Leslie just nodded, "Guess we've all been busy fixing the barn and everything." she said with a small giggle. Which reminded her about her show clothes. She'd have to look for them, but she didn't worry about that right now. She was just enjoying herself right now with some of her friends..well new friends. It felt good to be a part of something after so many years.

     Though Dallas just looked at the mare again. Did he do something wrong? He just wanted to make a friend or two since he didn't know any of these horses in this new place. Dallas just looked around again as it was rather quiet in the barn. He just let out a small huff as he hung his head low out of the stall. It was rather boring without anyone. He loved people, and he loved getting attention.

     London just started munching on her hay ignoring whatever was outside her stall..well whoever. Though she heard someone walk in, so she poked her head back out thinking it was Leslie. London was disappointed on who it was though. She just pinned her ears once more, and snorted. She recognized him, and she didn't trust him. She was protective of Leslie just like Leslie was protective of her. It went both ways.

     Dallas was just confused on why the mare seemed to hate the man, but he was just happy that someone was in the barn now. He just perked up wanting attention. Though Dallas enjoyed it as the man led him out of the stall only to be tied up. He wanted to run. He'd been cooped up most of the time he'd been there. London just made the man know how she felt about him, but she let him take her out of her stall.

     Leslie was still enjoying herself, but she couldn't help but to think about Bridge, Dallas, and the show. She hoped that Bridge kept out of trouble. She was curious about Dallas and his abilities, but overall she was just excited for the show. It had been such a long time she was in one, and she missed the thrill of it. Though Leslie got excited when Mrs. Wolf told her it was just a week and a half away it sounded like.

     "Guess me and London will have to start training more." she smiled knowing London wouldn't mind. If it was anything that mare liked was jumping. They did do dressage on the side, but their biggest focus was showjumping. Dressage was just something they did to take a small break from showjumping, but they didn't do it often. Leslie though just went back to enjoying her root beer float.

"Hm yeah, but remember to take those breaks Leslie, or else you'll be exhausted before you know it!" Mrs. Wolf said, she meant it in a worried but normal state of voice, she was worried about Leslie since of all the things that happened, but she also tried hiding it.


At the barn, the guy was making sure to have cleaned the last spot for the day, but he did walk over to the supplies closet to put away the broom as the guy took off his jacket, he then walked around before landing at Dallas's stall as he nuzzle the stallion on the muzzle of his.

"Got enough water boy?" the guy asked Dallas, he seemed to be happy as he made sure that the stallions stall was also empty of anything, but Dallas was a horse after all, so he would have made messes in it!

"Anyways, I see that your just like Mimi, an adorable little friendly pony. She would be a great friend for you, horses like yourself do need to socialize like any other animal, including herds, that goes for the moody mare as well!" the guy told Dallas, he was talking about London as she was the only moody mare.

"I'll give Mrs. Wolf a suggestion about getting a pen for the friendly horses, as yourself, since you seem to be go-lucky-happy with you horses." the guy said, he wasn't sure if Mrs. Wolf even had the money as she was filing taxes once when he walked in when she was filing the taxes.

"But I can also suggest pay for your riders/owners too!" the guy added on, he was now smiling, but he did hear the waking riders as they were walking into the barn as they were wearing their normal clothes, the guy just left as everyone was up and happy since their horses were happy and had full food- if that was the case..

The guy was brooming outside as usual, but at the parlor shop as Mrs. Wolf was outside, feeding and watering both Night Fury and Void as the two were completely different, Night Fury being a good, wild, and hearty quarter horse or mustang while Void was a beautiful black Arabian.

Mrs. Wolf was checking her watch as Ezra was doing her arcobatics on the cart and the ground, while Jack was munching on some candy while everyone else was doing their thing, Mrs. Wolf then looked up at the sky as Ezra walked back over to her to ask a question.

"What's up?" Mrs. Wolf asked Ezra, Ezra looked down before looking back up, "Is it time to go?" Ezra asked in a polite way, Mrs. Wolf smiled before looking around as the rider's where all around outside since it was starting to get cold inside, Mrs. Wolf then sat atop the wagon.

"Alright then! Time to go everyone! If your all ready that is!" Ezra said to everyone, while most of the riders were in the wagon, Ezra hopped into the back and sat down while Jack climbed over the front to get to the back.

Ezra laughed at Jack, "Jack! What are you doing?!" Ezra asked, she was laughing at what Jack did as he then got up and sat down next to Ezra as he smiled at her.

"Hopping up next to me, Leslie?" Mrs. Wolf asked Leslie, she was awaiting her answer but Mrs. Wolf flicked the reins as Night Fury was trying to walk around before immediately stopping because of the reins being pulled back.

"Hurry up, I think Night Fury is too impatient for your answer.." Mrs. Wolf admitted, she was correct about Night Fury impatient, but Void made sure to stay where he was as Night Fury tried going again before Mrs. Wolf flicked and pulled on Night Fury's side before she was forced to wait.

     Leslie nodded, "I know. I don't want to tire out London, but we haven't been training with everything going on...I want to be as ready as I can on show day.." she said looking down for a moment. "I don't want those from my old barn see me at my worst.." she admitted. They had gotten to her so much that she avoiding showing, but now she wanted to get back into it. Would she be ready enough within the next week?

     Though Dallas was just in his stall nibbling on his hay net even if he had hay in it. He was just being the goofball he was. Though he heard someone approach his stall as he turned around and stuck his head out a bit. He was always curious of people, but he just tried to see if the man had any treats. He wasn't really interested in much of what the man was really saying.

     London was just in her stall with her head poking out looking out of the barn waiting for Leslie. Though she looked over at the man and Dallas and snorted pinning her ears as she turned around in her stall flicking her tail. She wasn't moody. She just didn't like people like Dallas seemed to. Especially someone that grabbed her owner like he had. London just wasn't always friendly. Definitely not a horse for a child. Though she hoped Leslie was one of the riders entering the barn, but she wasn't. London just snorted and turned back around.

     Leslie was patting Void and Night Fury before they left making sure they got some extra loves. Sometimes she focused more on the horses then other people, but it made sense due to her previous barn. Though she smiled and laughed at Jack a little bit before she looked at Mrs. Wolf and nodded. After a second she got in the wagon and was ready to go just like Night Fury, "Well let's go then." she said with a smile.

"Alright." Mrs. Wolf looked at Night Fury and then Void, Mrs. Wolf flicked the reins lightly as the horses got into their rthyme and had gotten onto the road which was empty, Mrs. Wolf just made sure to look out for any cars coming up from behind the wagon.

"So silent, gotta make a noise maker of this sometime." Mrs. Wolf told herself, she did let Night Fury and Void go a little slower so that they could relax before strutting off with a big heavy pull, Mrs. Wolf then sped up the two horses with a click of her tongue and made it sound more like a kiss at the end as well.


After a bit of trotting onto the rubbery road that Mrs. Wolf made for the horses, the group were back at the barn as the guy came out when the horses were pulled to the side of the outside barn this time, Mrs. Wolf was surprised that her new employee already made a hitch for the horses being used as a wagon pull.

"Welcome back ladies and gentleman, and that one young lady that hates me more than anything. I can respect your rational decision of not trusting me. I understand very well." the guy spoke about the group, Mrs. Wolf just told the guy to unhitch the wagon and bring Night Fury and Void into the barn after grooming them and cleaning their stalls.

"Oh but I already made sure that every horse was full of water, had hay in their hay nets, and had clean stalls as well as being groomed. Even if the one mare hates me as well as the girl your watching." the guy told Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Wolf then told the guy that every kid that goes to her academy is assured the best health, care, and love as a normal child would recieve from their parents.

"And that means I see everyone has my own child, and someone as independent as I could ever be, everyone is family here. Whether we are different or not, we all are sweet to each other, even if we get into fights. And please don't say "ladies or gentleman" its uncomfortable to everyone. Even I." Mrs. Wolf pointed out and told the guy, the guy nodded and unhitched Night Fury and Void as he took the two horses to the grooming station (now I remember what the stations for grooming is called- lol).

     Leslie just looked at the nature around them as they headed back home. It was gorgeous, and she seemed to be thinking to herself a bit. Though she was still enjoying herself. She was sure London was starting to get a bit impatient. Leslie never really left the barn since she came here. London wasn't used to her being gone like she was, but Leslie didn't care much. It did feel good to get away with some friends for a little while.

     Though she was happy to back once they returned. Leslie had gotten out of the wagon and pat Void and Night Fury. She may have gave them a few treats as a reward for a good well done. At first she ignored the man, but she ended up looking at him, "I have every right to be. Grabbing me and tossing me on a stallion when I was injured. I'm lucky to even be able to compete in the show coming up." she said clearing not the happiest to be seeing him.

      Though London heard Leslie's voice as she stuck her head out of her stall and let out a bit of a neigh. Leslie just turned away from the man and walked into the barn, "Hey girl. Miss me?" she said knowing the answer. She smiled though and gave London plenty of loves and a few peppermints. London just gently shoved Leslie a bit, but she only giggled, "I wasn't gone that long girl."

      Leslie did grab the mare's lead rope and opened the stall. London let her attach the lead rope to the mare's halter and walk her out of the stall...well partly. Leslie stopped and looked at the man again, "London is protective of me. She doesn't trust most people anyways. I'd stay clear of her...that would be the smart choice." she said as London just pinned her ears but she stood calmly.

     Leslie took her over to go tacked up so that they could do some training before the day was over. Dallas watched the two curiously as Leslie walked London out to the arena. London just pinned her ears again when they passed the stallion's stall, but Dallas just watched doing nothing, "Be nice to him London. He's just trying to make some friends.." she said understanding that, but once they entered the arena, Leslie mounted on top of London, "Alright girl...we don't have much time to train before the show..let's make it count." she said somewhat to herself before they started trotting around the arena as a warm up.

Mrs. Wolf was putting up some tack before looking at her watch as the time ticked down, it has been awhile, though Mrs. Wolf then walked up to the guy as he was just chilling out in a corner by himself before he slapped in the back of the head as he got up and apologized to Mrs. Wolf for yelling at her.

"Shut up and get all the horses tacked up, we all are going for a trail ride or two to a lake I've been informed when I was still outside by myself. I can't help since I have to clean the wagon of any dirt on the underside and the wheels before we get moving, but inform everyone about the lakeside ride." Mrs. Wolf commanded the guy, he bowed and quickly moved as Mrs. Wolf smiled before getting a scrubbie and some polish. Oh and a bucket of water of course!


Though as Mrs. Wolf finished up cleaning the bucket, everyone was lined up perfectly behind each horse, with the guy holding Night Fury and Void's reins with one hand as the two horses were nervous but showing a slight hint of aggression but they let the guy handle them.

"Got everyone tacked and mounted on! Can we go?" the guy asked Mrs. Wolf, of course she didn't smile at the man as everyone else didn't smile around him, but she did put the scrubbie into the bucket as the guy mounted void and Mrs. Wolf mounted Night Fury.

"Did you tell Leslie that we're going to do a lakeside ride? It'll take us a bit to get there, more then a day, that's why I packed a couple saddle bags onto the horses for each individual person and horse- probably too much food.. Really." Mrs. Wolf asked the guy, he looked back at the barn as everyone was in line and waiting to ride.

"She should have gotten the idea with everyone screaming for a beautiful lakeside ride- everyone likes them and its a good way to bond with your horse or two.." the guy told Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Wolf sighed at the man as he looked away before looking back as Mrs. Wolf was rubbing her side of her forehead.
