Bridges Pole Ranch And Academic Centre | (PAUSED)

     London was eager to get started, but Leslie wouldn't direct her to any of the jumps until they had a proper warm up. "Easy girl..don't need you pulling a muscle." she said tugging on the reins for a second. Though once they had their warm up, Leslie couldn't hold London back any more. "Alright alright London. Time to jump." she said patting the mare's neck as she directed her to the first jump.

     London just went right for it while Leslie didn't have to do much. She was just excited. Though Leslie got her to calm down and listen as things went better after that. Knocking down a pole or two every now and then. They were meant to be together. Leslie didn't know what she would do without London and vise versa. Both of them were enjoying themselves. At least for the time being.

     Just as Leslie and London were approaching a double oxer, Leslie heard screaming which distracted her. Her positioning wasn't the best as London went for the jump. Though Leslie just fell back in the saddle a bit after the jump, "Woah easy girl.." she said as she brought the mare to a stop which made London a bit mad. "I think..that's enough for today." she said before patting her and walking her around the arena some.

     Afterwards, Leslie unmounted London giving her some more pats before she led her out of the arena and back to the barn. Though once she got to the barn, she saw everyone lined up with their horses, "Uhh...what's going on?" she asked confused as to what was going on. Though she overheard a part of what was said. Leslie looked at the barn seeing most of the horses with her riders, but Dallas and maybe another horse or two. "What about Dallas? He seems to be a social horse, and he's only been here a few days..I don't think he'd do well if we're all gone for a few days. Especially with the show coming up." she said though she tried ignoring the man.

"Right right, sorry for not telling you Leslie, its just- stressful right now, but I was thinking of going on a lakeside ride. I know a lake nearby- well- the reason why there's saddlepacks on the lined up horses and their riders. I'll get Dallas groomed before anything else, but take your time since I just announced this to you- well the reason why everyone is lined up." Mrs. Wolf said, she hopped down from Night Fury as the mare followed after Mrs. Wolf as she went to Dallas's stall and opened it for the stallion.

Mrs. Wolf then haltered Dallas as she led him to the grooming station and groomed him quickly, but still clean of any dirt and cleaned his stall as well, then she took off the halter and had put a halter-like rope onto Dallas as she tied him to Night Fury's saddle.

"I unfortantely don't have any new tack to give you, so your stuck with a rope on your face for the time being Dallas, but come on Night Fury, since your saddle's tied to him; your stuck with him for the time being." Mrs. Wolf told Night Fury as the mare snorted before being led out to the front of the line again, this time with Dallas tied up with Night Fury.

"Alright Leslie, you had some time to process the information; are you ready? Also; the trail to the lake is in some mountains, but the mountains are pretty flat and far apart from each other, but the trail is also covered in natural fallen rocks, and trees. Which is perfect for helping out with training, in case anyone else decided to switch disciplines." Mrs. Wolf asked Leslie before spilling the rest of the tea, though what Mrs. Wolf described to Leslie about the mountains seemed to be described more of just hills surrounding a flat lake, but with great vew of the sunset.

     Leslie just pat London since she still seemed to want to train, but the mare was calm and chomped on her bit a little bit. Though Leslie was thinking a bit. She didn't say much, but she nodded deciding to think about it for a minute. She decided to tie up London for minute before she ran to her dorm real quick...even if she shouldn't have yet. Oh well. She just needed to grab something. Well maybe a couple small things..things that were important to her. A small picture and the necklace that Mrs. Wolf had given her. 

     Leslie quickly put the necklace on and tucked it underneath her shirt before she put the small photo in her pocket. After that she ran back out to the barn just as Mrs. Wolf was bringing Dallas over. London just looked at her, but Leslie walked over to Dallas. Though Dallas was unsure of why all the horses and riders were in a line. He just kept his head out of the stall wondering if he was going to be taken out too. Leslie was right. Dallas was quite the social horse. Not just with other horses but with people. 

     Though he perked up when Mrs. Wolf came over and grabbed him. He enjoyed the grooming she had given him. For a stallion he was quite the sweetheart. Like he wouldn't hurt a soul. At least not on purpose. The rope halter felt a bit weird to him, but he didn't mind it too much. Leslie smiled as she gave him a few pats, "Handsome boy." she said giving him a treat from her pocket, "Let's see how well he does.." she said before going back to London to untie her.

     Though London pinned her ears a bit mad at Leslie, but that was just London being London. She just took the mare's reins and adjusted her bridle and saddle a bit, "Well I wouldn't want to be the only one staying," she said with a smile. London seemed to have perked up and agreed, "Well I guess if London says so then she's the boss." she giggled. 

     Dallas was a bit confused by being tied to another horse, but he tried making friends with Night Fury. Though it didn't seem like she wanted to. He just decided to leave her alone. Though Leslie made a suggestion, "If you ever want me to take Dallas I could. London still needs to get used to other horses, and Dallas might be a good horse for that. Or if Night Fury just gets annoyed by him." she giggled before she put her foot in the stirrup and mounted on top on London once more ready to go.

"Well if I hear Night Fury trying to nip him- since she is still a bit wild, then I'll hand over Dallas to you Leslie, but like with London: Night Fury also seems to be anti-social as well, which is why put her next to Void so that she'd get used to him. But I also want Night Fury to get along with another horse besides the same coat colored horse. Mix in a bit of variety as they say!" Mrs. Wolf giggled, Night Fury was eager to go, and so, Mrs. Wolf lightly kicked her as she started walking the pace that Mrs. Wolf wanted her to walk at- a normal relaxing but also a bit fast of a pace, which also made the others in the line follow behind as Void trotted up but behind Night Fury as the guy was enjoying the ride from a stallions perspective.

Though as everyone was making good time, Night Fury perked her head as she realized that everyone following behind her were on the road as her, and since Mrs. Wolf only had one trail and that led up to the mountain's peek to look over the valley next door. Which made Night Fury think- in horse thoughts that Mrs. Wolf didn't have the money yet to make another trail and this one leading down to the lake Mrs. Wolf talked about.

"Well we're making good time already, we'll probably even be at the lake for only two days if we keep this up!" Mrs. Wolf told the line as the riders passed down the information since there was a lot of hooves clip clopping on the hard ashfault, though some of the ashfault that followed the horses had a bit of rubber for them, so that it wasn't so hard on their hooves in case there were bad hooves.

As time went on a little bit, Mrs. Wolf perked up her sitting and notice something off into the distance, though Night Fury was feeling a bit exhausted as Mrs. Wolf told the line to follow her to a creek to rest, and then Night Fury trotted off to the lake as the line followed behind as exactly.

At the creek, Mrs. Wolf was chilling out, patting Night Fury and making sure that she wasn't drinking too much but enough that she usually gets, though as Night Fury was done the rest of the group relaxing, it was only a bit of time as everyone seemed exhausted for the most part.

"We can camp here and hunt some game instead of eating from our saddlebags, the food won't go bad so fast, so we have time to hunt. And I used to go hunting for deer when I still lived out in the country as a young girl, my father at least made sure that I had the timing right, and I know how to cook over a campfire." Mrs. Wolf said, tasting deer meat/venison sounded a bit exoctic for everyone- minus the horses as they had grass to eat to their hearts content.

But Mrs. Wolf took Night Fury's bridle and tied her up to a tree tree limb as Night Fury seemed beyond tired and needed the rest anyways, but some of the rider's did what Mrs. Wolf did with Night Fury and tied their horses in a neat line, Night Fury didn't care as she just slept for the time being.

"Hm, well now we really need to camp out her, well its our only first day outside of the Acadamy and Center, so we'll just need to grab the leather-fabric like tents from the sadle bags, but your all lucky as I carry spares in my backpack in case none of you brought a tent." Mrs. Wolf said, no one was paying attention that Mrs. Wolf had a backpack on, well the guy that helps her now blocks her view of her back with Void and his body so it makes sense no one payed attention.

Though as Mrs. Wolf took off her backpack, she pulled out tents that equally two-three people can fit in, the last tent was Mrs. Wolf and the guy as they were bigger then the kids, so they took up the space for their tent equally as well. But Mrs. Wolf started showing everyone how to setup a tent as she made it herself while giving an example.

"I'll go make a campfire for you all, your all still a bit young at the heart, so adults can only make a fire out of experience." Mrs. Wolf told the group, the guy already collected sticks as Mrs. Wolf put them in a round piled circle, with rocks blocking the sticks from touching the grass and Mrs. Wolf instantly lit the fire up.

     Leslie nodded as she gave London a pat or two, "London is just protective. It's just because of our old barn. Those horses need to be taught manners that's for sure." Leslie said with a little bit of hate before she focused again. "Well Dallas is half white half black, but either way everything about him is stunning. Maybe someone should try riding him when we get back." she suggested before they left. Leslie took her place in the line which was towards the end, but she didn't mind. 

     Though when they got onto the road, London got a bit nervous. Leslie moved her hand in a gentle circle motion on London's neck to keep her calm and collected, "There you go girl. It's not that bad." she said to the mare which seemed to help. London was always a bit nervous when it came to roads, but Leslie never knew why. Ever since she got London, the mare had been that way, but London didn't react like she used to.

     The sounds of the horse's hooves on the pavement was calming to Leslie..in a weird way, but she was enjoying herself. London too since she seemed to want to pick up the pace every now and then. "Sorry girl..we have a long ways to go. We can't just go fast." she said with a small chuckle, but London only snorted. Leslie just rolled her eyes, "Maybe you are a moody mare," she teased.

     Though it seemed like they had been going for awhile until they came across a creek and decided to make camp there. Leslie brought London over to a tree before she dismounted the mare. She then grabbed the reins and tied them to the tree before she took off the mare's saddle. "There you go girl. Hope that helps some. Rest up." she said patting the mare before she went to the others.

     "Hunting...?" she said a bit unsure of it. "Well I guess things are really different in the country then the city.." she said with a small laugh. Though Leslie watched Mrs. Wolf set up one of the tents before she helped out with setting up the rest. Once it seemed like all of the tents were up, Leslie went to go check on London and Dallas. She spent more time with Dallas though since she knew London would do fine, but she was still learning about Dallas and his personality. 

     "Hey boy." she said giving him a few pats. Leslie just checked him over a bit. He seemed like his normal social self, but she just wasn't sure if any of this was new for him. Though Dallas just looked at her with his curious deep blue eyes. Mesmerizing really. "Curious one aren't you Dallas?" Leslie giggled as she pat him some more before she left to see if there was anything else needing to be done.

Mrs. Wolf was enjoying herself as everyone else was doing fine, though Mrs. Wolf got up and walked over to her bag as she had some type of hunting rifle- only it looked more child safety with loads of stoppers with smaller children, maybe Mrs. Wolf had children in the past and couldn't bring herself to keep the rifle in plain sight.

Though one of the riders walked up to Mrs. Wolf as they asked why she had so many stoppers and twisty-things on the rifle, but Mrs. Wolf only told the rider that it was extreme safety if she ever decided to go hunting if there was suddenly no food in the dining hall building.

"Oh, so your really caring for us this much that you'd hid a rifle and put lots of things on it? You are like a caring mother; nice and kind, ready to hunt deer just for us, even letting us go out somewhere with your supervision, your not like any mother we have. We have one that shows us more respect and privacy when we need it, even teaching us more meaningful lessons and helping us out more. Even having a bond with a horse or two, maybe you were fit to be a mother after all.." the rider asked at first, but then answered themself as Mrs. Wolf smiled more gently until she hugged the rider as they finished talking, it was a sweet thing for someone to say, even to Mrs. Wolf as she does protect the riders and even WOULD take risks for them.

"Then why did I go after Leslie when she was taken? I was scared for her, even nervous, I knew London would miss her and Bridge was a bit younger then but that colt was always there, but I had London come so that Leslie wasn't as nervous around another horse that she didn't know, even having Bridge as a little therapy foal for Leslie as well. I'd do the samething for you all; you are all like my own children, each and everyone being different. But thank you for saying something so sweet to me, it means so much to hear that everyone loves me like their own mother, I'm sure I still feel like a friend to you all anyways." Mrs. Wolf said, she then put the rifle off to the side as she grabbed two sticks and a whole bag of marshmellows, a big box of crackers and LOTS of chocolate!

"Who wants s'mores?" Mrs. Wolf asked as the group seemed to get excited as everyone was sitting in their own style, some brought foldable chairs, other standable-foldable blankets, others in a sleeping bag with fun things and yad yada, but everyone was excited as s'mores are very delicious!

"So delicious! The s'mores are good! My favorite snack! Oh tonight and not tomorrow?!" part of the group talked about, Mrs. Wolf giggled before she looked at Leslie as she was happy, then Mrs. Wolf began putting the marshmellows to being cooked by the fire.

"Now golden brown is the perfect set of time, but if you like your marshmellows charcoal- then that's fine as well, no judgement here!" Mrs. Wolf told the group, she gave each kid a stick as she had her own and Leslie's cooking already, she wanted to know if Leslie tried s'mores before. Probably not since she was from the city, but anyone can make s'mores!

     Leslie decided to sit down by the fire. The warmth felt nice, but this was all new to her. Staying out in the woods. Well camping in general, but she was having fun. She had a good time so far. She was only thinking a bit to herself. How things changed so quickly. A year unnoticed, and now she seemed friends with most of everyone there. It was a bit odd to her considering she was never the best at making friends, but she was happy.

     London though had laid down since Leslie tied her up in a way she could lay down. Though she had her bridle on still which London didn't care much about. Dallas just looked around curiously. He was a bit confused by everything, but he just looked around. Even looking at the other horses around him. He eventually looked over at London curiously, but she just pinned her ears without even having to look at him. Dallas quickly looked away.

     Leslie looked over at the two before she looked at London, "Is having a friend so bad London? I managed to make some. You should do the same." she said to the mare. London only looked at her before snorting and looking away as Leslie just shook her head. Though she started to overhear the rider's and Mrs. Wolf's conversation a bit. She just didn't do anything but listen a small bit.

     At least until Mrs. Wolf mentioned what happened that one day as she butted in slightly from a distance, "Well I think you helped London more then me. She would have gone crazy in her stall..probably go after him then chase after me." she said not even bothering to look at the man. She wasn't too fond of him being there, but what was she going to do? Leslie just ignored him for the most part.

     Though Leslie smiled when Mrs. Wolf seemed to have grabbed what was needed for s'mores. She had only had them a couple of times. "Been a few years since I had one." she said with a smile, "I may have lived in the city, but I've had s'mores once or twice." she said, "Just...not with a real fire." she said with a small laugh. "Never liked the city though..just wasn't for me really..unlike my parents."

"Hm, I guess we're all one in the same, everyone and even me, Rose Nicolas Wolf, came from the city. But we all have different cities we were in, but here." Mrs. Wolf said, she then handed Leslie a cooked s'more. Which was golden brown and the chocolate was warm too.

"I've had different types of s'mores, well a few, cooked campfire ones, uncooked, and even radiator cooked s'mores, and lemme tell ya: S'mores cooked next to a radiator doesn't cook, well not warm enough at least. I also ate s'mores by themselves out of normality.

"Anyways everyone else should be done, by how long you munch your s'mores, you can have more if you want Leslie; everyone else, but I'll have to fetch a deer- and not alive either, but that's another lesson I can tell you all! We had treats for desert before dinner, but deer pretty much habit any area that's wooded. But I'm gonna ride Night Fury and go hunting in that style. I'll be back before you can even think of dinner!" Mrs. Wolf said, she got up and walked over as she grabbed her rifle, she then walked over to Night Fury's spot and untied her as the mare turned and Mrs. Wolf hopped onto the saddle before the two found a good trail and tooke off to go find a good sized buck to grab meat from.

Though Void was trying to get out of his reins and even pulled on the branch as he was next to Night Fury, but even Dallas was untied so that Mrs. Wolf wouldn't have to drag a horse on accident, but he could easily see that Void was absolutely lovesick for Night Fury.

"Oh looks Void is lovesick for Night Fury, that's natural as we could see that with a stallion next to a mare, he thought that Night Fury would be his- Mrs. Wolf would have true black horses, but she'd sell them fast, but true black horses sell for a good amount- even if they are grade babies, unless Night Fury and Void have a registration and breed for them to be registered." a rider pointed out as Void calmed down later on before laying down and sleeping on a branch as he seemed restless for Night Fury.

"I thought Night Fury was a quarter horse? She has the body of one, but everyone says that she has the legs, and head of a thoroughbred and the spirit and neck of an arabian." a girl called out, when everyone thought about it as it came to mind that Night Fury did look like a quarter horse but had the legs and head of a tb and the spirit and neck of an arabian. But the black coat and similar green eyes but contrast to Void's brown eyes.

     Leslie smiled agreeing with her as she took the s'more and thanked Mrs. Wolf. She was having fun. London too, but the mare wasn't the fondest of being tied to a tree. Though Leslie knew the mare wouldn't run off, she just didn't want the mare to cause trouble with the other horses. Leslie did enjoy her treat though before she looked over at Mrs. Wolf, "Good luck then." she said.

     Though Leslie noticed Void's lovesick for Night Fury. "She'll be back boy. Don't you worry." she said to the stallion before she listened to the other riders agreeing with them as she finished her s'more. Though London just laid down to rest some. She was calm, and seemed to like it out here. Leslie had taken off her saddle and set it near the tree so London was more comfortable and didn't get any sores. Made it easier for London to rest.

     Dallas though was just grazing a bit. His halter and lead were still on, but he kept away from some of the horses..especially London. Though the stallion got curious when he looked over at the campfire and the riders. He saw Leslie amongst them, and started walking over. Leslie was sitting by the campfire, and hadn't heard Dallas approaching her from behind. Some of the rider's might have noticed him though.

     Dallas just went over and started nibbling on Leslie's hair which startled her as she quickly stood up and turned to face the culprit, "Dallas!" she said still a bit startled, but she couldn't help but laugh. "Goofball." she said giggling. Dallas only nickered and flicked his tail around. Though Leslie only pet the stallion. London had fallen asleep which might have been a good thing. At least for that moment in time.

     Though Leslie got a bit curious, "Is it just me, or is anyone else curious to know how he is under the saddle...or even bareback..?" she said as she looked at some of the riders. "I mean he's a social stallion...and a sweetheart..don't see him going crazy." Maybe Leslie was just getting a little ahead of herself, but she couldn't help it. Here was this gorgeous stallion just spending most of his time in a stall. "Maybe someone could ride him in the competition.." she said a bit to herself as Dallas nudged her.

Though a couple shots fired off from the distance, implying that Mrs. Wolf was chasing a deer as the shots kept firing, until out of the blue the deer jumped over a hedge and fell down, Night Fury just jumped over the same hedge and landed perfectly centered.

"Holy riddles you just jumped over a tall obstacle!" Mrs. Wolf exclaimed, she was surprised, she should have been as the hedge was taller then a normal obstacle but Night Fury cleared it with easy and a centered landing.

Void just turned his head to look at Night Fury as Mrs. Wolf came back from the deer chase, but the deer was laying on the ground; dead, though Mrs. Wolf hopped down as Night Fury sighed but walked over to Void as the stallion got very cuddly with the mare.

"Stallions.." Mrs. Wolf muttered, she looked away quick as she took a small knife from her pocket, which was a still for taking pelts off of deer, wolves, and even beavers.

"Alright, how big do you think this buck is? I'd say he's an 8 pointer, I've had my research when I was little, so I can tell when a buck has aged maturely and 5 and a half is the full age. I did try my best to find the biggest buck for me to skin and cook for all of us." Mrs. Wolf said, she put her hands around the bucks antlers and held up the deer's head, much like you'd find when a hunter has a good kill in a photo that was taken.

"Ooo, he might be a 20 pointer! Since his antler's seem to branch a little more then it should when he's old, so he might still be young." a rider raised up her hand and shouted a random number, Mrs. Wolf took it to consideration but judges would judge a buck's antler and see how big they are to be called pointed.

"Or 30! I know its unrealistice, but I had read a book about a guy taking down a buck that was a 30 pointer. Very famous and the deer was probably 30k for the deer." another rider shouted, Mrs. Wolf smiled as the rider's around tried to guess the deer's age and how many antler spikes (the pointy-things on the antler's) the deer was worth.

"Hm, well if he was older then his antlers would stop growing at a certain point, but its bet to say that since he lives out here- in a more open forest, his best bet of age would be either 14-15, it is rare for a deer to live longer after all. In captivity? That's for more then 20 but it depends on how rich some deer food is, he could well over 20 with 30 pointer antlers." Mrs. Wolf added the facts to fiction, she was right that in the wild that deer wouldn't live to be longer then 15 and in captivity that they could be older.

"A doe can live longer then a buck by two years actually, but the doe should be a reindeer/caribou to have antlers and it looks like this is the real deal buck." a rider added more facts to fiction, so the deer well be considered 15 then with 30 point antlers.

"Well alright, let's say this big boy is 15 and I've scored a good mount of 30 points from him. I don't hunt anymore, but I enter him in the scoring hall at a hunting club and get him taxidermied and hung on my walls, so that if anyone wanted to see the deer can see the 30 point antlers well the head primarily." Mrs. Wolf said, she then regrabbed her knife and halfed the deer's head as she cut the neck off to ensure the deer would be taximdermied since she needed the body to cook the meat from.

Though as Mrs. Wolf began telling that she was gonna skin the pelt, which was the thick layer of coat on the body, but let's skip that gruesome part and say that she had spiked the venison on a couple branches to cook from as the rest of the deer remained next to the fire in case someone wanted to eat some more venison.

But Mrs. Wolf also brought some spices and plates as well, so when the venison cooked, Mrs. Wolf added spices to make the meat taste vivid and good, since venison is good but its bland and boring. So adding spice and flavor made the meat taste better and that the plates didn't break when she rode or took off her backpack.

"Alright dinner time you all!!" Mrs. Wolf said, the meat on the plates smelled delicious and tasted even better when eaten, so each rider was handed a plate as Mrs. Wolf had six stacked on a Food Tray, a food tray is a tray with three plates on it with beautiful designs- it is expensive but yet holds beauty, it is normally used to be displayed on a counter for people take and order the food that they want as the lid is taken off so that the piece of cake or food is taken but was already paid for.

     Leslie just got caught up in her thoughts as she looked at Dallas while she ran her hand up and down his head. The stallion occasionally let out a soft snort as he started to fall asleep at Leslie's soft touch. Leslie smiled, "You're just like a big 'ol puppy." she said quietly to herself not wanting to disturb the stallion as he was falling asleep. It was peaceful. Everything was. Even London had fallen asleep by the rest of the horses.

     Though that all changed when there were sudden gunshots as it spooked Dallas a bit as he reared and pawed at the ground with his nostrils flared. Leslie grabbed onto the lead rope as it was still attached to his halter, "Whoa there. Easy boy. It's alright. You're alright. I'm here." she said calmly as the stallion quickly calmed once he heard her voice. "There's a good boy." she smiled as she pat him softly.

     Leslie then looked up seeing Mrs. Wolf and Night Fury leap over a large hedge just after a deer had as it appeared to have died. London was woken suddenly by the noise, but she just got up on her hooves and looked around noticing the new stallion with her owner, and she wasn't too happy about it as she started throwing a small fit. Dallas noticed and looked over at the mare then Mrs. Wolf.

     Dallas only snorted a bit at her remark. Leslie just giggled, "Not all stallions are like that Dallas. You act like a gelding more than a stallion." she said patting him again before she looked at London, "Oh dear...she's jealous.." she said to herself as she looked at the others. Leslie just walked over to London as Dallas hesitantly followed behind her. Though Leslie somewhat paid attention to what everyone was saying while she took care of London.

     "London it's fine girl. No need to get jealous." she said as she started to calm the mare, "You're always going to be my favorite and my best friend." she said wrapping her arms around the mare which seemed to have calmed her down as the mare returned the hug. Leslie smiled as she gave London a treat or two before she gave Dallas a treat or two. "See girl? He's just a stallion looking for some friends. Be nice to him." she said before she looked back over at the campfire.

     Leslie sighed as she got too caught up in the horses. Sometimes she did that. Sometimes she focused more on the horses than she did with other things..even conversations with other people. "Guess it's dinner time. I'll check on you two later." she said giving the both of them one last pat before she walked over to the campfire to get some food. London just sorted as Leslie left not interested in Dallas's presence.

     Dallas just lowered his ears backing up before he trotted away a short way before he started grazing on his own. Leslie looked at the two for a moment as she rolled her eyes as she sat down with some food. She thanked Mrs. Wolf for the meal before she ate, but after she did, she couldn't help but ask as she looked at Mrs. Wolf, "What are we going to do with Dallas...? We can't just have him spending most of his time in his stall or one of the paddocks.." she said.

"Hm. No problem hun, and Good question, but we can leave him out of his stall- he does seem to be the most loveable horse in the barn, and it would be good since we could help out and train him together as a group, I could even get a schedule to have him be trained by the entire barn of people- letting you have two or three days with him of course." Mrs. Wolf told Leslie, though she grabbed something and started cleaning her knife and herself, skinning and cooking deer took a lot on a small knife but it was done and done.

Though Mrs. Wolf put her pocket knife into a one of the side pockets on the backpack, Night Fury and Void were sleeping soundly as ever, the mare did let herself cuddle with the stallion, even to the point where she just layed next to him. Seemed like Night Fury was getting used to Void pretty quick.

Mrs. Wolf did smile when she looked over at the two pitch black horses together, then she looked up at the sky and got up as she had began collecting empty dishes that were dirty and had put them in a separate pocket within the backpack, probably to wash them later or when she got home with everyone else.

But she did declare it nighttime or rather bedtime as she yawned and stretched before going into her tent for the night, the calming and soothing night that relaxed Mrs. Wolf so well that she kept her normal clothes on instead of changing, which is how well the night made everyone go into their tents to sleep.

It was just a relaxing night that didn't deserve to be taken temporarily, well that and the beautiful stars out that shined bright and showed up more then back at Bridges Pole, well it still shined, but not enough. Sometimes when it got really dark out: you could only see the beautiful stars twinkling down like a heavenly and gorgeous dream..

     Leslie looked over at Dallas as she listened to Mrs. Wolf. She seemed to like the idea, "Start training him after the show or even before depending on when we get back. Well if he is trained or not already. If he isn't it's pretty rare to see a horse like him so calm and tame with little training like that...especially for a stallion." she said with a small smile as she watched Dallas roll around a bit before he got up and shook off all of the grass and dirt from his coat before he found a spot to lay down.

     Though Leslie had soon got up and walked back over to London, "Hey girl. It's getting late." she said in a soft quiet tone as London just pressed her head into Leslie. Leslie smiled as she scratched the mare in her favorite spot before she made sure she was good for the night. "Sleep well girl. Tomorrow is going to be another long day for us." she said patting the mare goodnight before she checked on Dallas.

     "You need the rest too boy. We'll be on the trail again tomorrow." she said more to herself before she eventually went over to her tent. She was tired. She would admit it. She spent the first part of the day training and the rest of the day in the trails. Though she just went into her tent and got into her sleeping bag as she let out a small sigh. Maybe she was a little nervous about the show.

     About seeing the riders from her old barn. It had been over a year since she competed. Would she even be ready? Leslie just tried not to worry too much as she eventually closed her eyes. London had laid down and curled up falling asleep quite easily after the long day. Though Leslie couldn't sleep. Instead she peeked out of her tent before she quietly got out and went back over to London.

     The mare woke, but Leslie just kept her quiet as she laid down next to the mare with her back on the mare's shoulder. London just rested her head on Leslie's lap and closed her eyes again as Leslie softly stroked her before she ended up falling asleep as well. Sometimes Leslie just needed to spend the night with her best friend every now and then. London was more then just a horse to her. She was the only friend she had for a long time. The only one that would listen to her even if they didn't speak the same language. Leslie would never let anything happen to London. 

(Little time skip, since during the night it would only be silence..)
Mrs. Wolf was up and about, packing and even cleaning the dirty dishes in a small pond that she made after clearing and filtering the water in the small pond out until it was just normal water, Mrs. Wolf knew so much about the outdoors and now that she felt like she could teach even more.. She was just happy and she even got Night Fury and Void to somehow fall asleep together.. She always did that with new, current or old horses somehow.. But she wasn't complaining about it either..

Mrs. Wolf then started to wake everyone up, she even was gentle with Leslie and London, she didn't want to rush the two to get up or something, it was still clearly morning. But Mrs. Wolf seemed to have made some breakfast in some way, she was always a perfect mom-like figure to someone.. Being gentle and soothing, while being determined and outgoing, whatever someone need. Mrs. Wolf had it ready..

Though Mrs. Wolf sat back down at her spot by the now lit campfire, when she thought that Leslie and London were gently awakened enough, even though some of the horses began getting up by themselves.. Night Fury took a little more time instead of Void, since he was up and ready to go.. Void seemed like the friendliest horse besides Dallas, and that he didn't mind as long as he had Night Fury..

Mrs. Wolf looked up and around when she took notice of the rest of the horses getting up, and the rest of the entire group, Mrs. Wolf kinda forgot or forgot that she brought the entire barn out to the beautiful spot that she wanted to take them all to see.. Even though Mrs. Wolf enjoyed camping, and she seemed to have rather been estatic, to have everyone come and see the rising over at the hill or something that she wanted to show..

     Occasionally London woke up throughout the night from some sounds she heard, or just making sure nothing was wrong. She was quite protective of Leslie, but why wouldn't she be? Though she wasn't so used to spending the night in the woods. Leslie on the other hand slept all night. Well she normally did whenever she spent the night with her mare. Though sometimes Leslie felt safest with London, and the same went with London.

     Though just spending the night in the woods seemed to unsettle London slightly regarding to the accident her and Leslie had with wolves, but eventually she just rested her head on Leslie's lap and fell asleep again. Dallas just slept the whole night. Instead of being near the other horses, he was a little closer to where the riders were sleeping since he had yet to make friends with any of the horses. 

     When the sun had started to rise over the treetops, Dallas woke up and looked around seeing most of everyone still asleep. Well everyone except Mrs. Wolf, but that was normal. He did watch her as she worked before he got up and grazed a bit on his own minding his business. Seemed like he was more of a gelding than a stallion. He had yet to overreact about anything since he arrived at Bridges Pole. 

     Though when Mrs. Wolf went over to London and Leslie, London seemed to have woken up once she approached. The mare flicked her ears a bit and let out a small nicker before she nibbled on Leslie's hair a little bit knowing it would wake her up, and it did. It didn't take too long as Leslie eventually got up and realized what London was doing as she looked at the mare, "London you know I don't like it when you nibble on my hair." she said giving her a look before she gave the mare a few pats, "How can I be mad at you though?" she mumbled to herself before she got up and cleaned herself up a tad.

     London got up on her hooves too as Leslie gave her some food before she checked on Dallas giving him some food as well. "Silly boy." she giggled to herself before she made her way back to the campfire with everyone else. Well at least with those that were up already. Dallas seemed curious as he snuck over a bit, but kept a small distance. He was more curious about everything and everyone. Though he occasionally looked over at London, but not long enough to catch her attention.
