Bridges Pole Ranch And Academic Centre | (PAUSED)

"Okay!" Mrs. Wolf said, Night Fury was a bit mad when her stall door was knocked down, but Mrs. Wolf knew that the mare always wanted to be free, except for Void, he tends to like his stall.

"Now Night Fury, your not gonna have a stall door anymore since you love to be away from it the most part." Mrs. Wolf said as she patted Night Fury before hopping onto her, Mrs. Wolf was tall enough to just jump onto the mare without worry.

Though Jacob did hop on Picante and took him back to barrel racing once more, the stallion did freeze a little bit before he started to get back into the hang of things, then soon enough, Jacob and Picante were working on barrel racing once more. This time, Jacob made sure to angle Picante a little bit more away from the ground, and that he won't be mauled up by the dirt again.

Mrs. Wolf also let Night Fury choose her discipline since she loved to be free, so, Night Fury chose flat racing. And that means that the big epmty pen that's not used for anything besides bonding is now getting a make over as Mrs. Wolf forgot to buy a big pen for racing, but she did sigh and had taken Night Fury into the new racing pen.

Then Amy came over to Night Fury's training as she looked at the dazzling mare, her black pelt soaking up the sun as well just makes her look marvelous to Amy, though she did grab her mare and started to train her on dressage once more. Mrs. Wolf smiled at Amy as she has been doing training a bit secretive.

"Hm, wonder what Amy is upto, she does enjoy training more then anything else. So she's probably making her mare more tired." Mrs. Wolf told herself, Amy brought her horse to the dressage pen and began training her mare on new movements and patterns for them to practice.

Jacob tilted his horse more from the ground as he was starting to worry for Picante's health again, the poor stallion had to stay in his stall until he was better and now Jacob was worried for him!

Though Ava kept up training her mare as she had made turns with another rider on the other side of the barn since it wasn't so big, but it would get a remake once Mrs. Wolf started to open the place more, but that was in the future as she was just happy for now.

"Come on girl! Keep!" Ava told her horse, the mare kept up her pace, but they both had to stop training as the mare was at her limits.

"It's alright girl, it's been awhile since we did that discipline huh?" Ava asked her mare, Winter came back from training as Bridge ran over to where Leslie was and stared at London jumping perfectly at her own pace, sometimes.

Winter walked up to Ava and hugged her from behind, though Ava expected it and just held one of Winter's arms and then Winter let go and started to help Ava on grooming her mare, then the old mare wandered over to Winter and Ava as they lightly pushed the mare away for now.

"Sorry girl, but we're busy right now, maybe go see Leslie, Bridge is getting more interactive with London. So it'll be easy." Ava told the mare, the old mare just did as she was told too if she wanted too, but the mare did just that.

As Bridge watched Leslie and London jump, he decided to follow behind and try his first jump, he did it successfully since he always seemed to be jumping over stalls, which would be good training if he wanted out of the stall. Though the old mare did wander over to the jumping arena as she watched Bridge follow behind London's trail as he jumped with her.

The mare sighed and neighed to Bridge, though the little foal liked jumping with London, but he did jump over the fence as he neared the old mare, and when he jumped. He jumped over without a scratch, and the old mare was impressed as the little foal stood perfectly intact!

And the old mare began to nuzzle the little foal happily, she was happy that he was going to be a future show jumper like London, but she then started to walk back to the barn as Bridge followed behind, he did look at London with a finale neigh that he was following the old mare back to the barn. But he was happy.

     Leslie and London worked on their turns between jumps, and their speed. They tended to go fast sometimes..sometimes too fast, but you can never go wrong with the wind in your hair..or mane. "That's it girl. If we keep this pace then we'll just fine for the show!" Leslie said happily as they found the right pace that worked for each distance between each jump and each turn they made. 

     Though Leslie hardly did anything as London already knew what to do, "Hmm..should change the jumps later today..better to practice different courses instead of the same one over and over.." she said out loud to herself as she leaned forward while London perfectly jumped over a oxer. "We finally cleared that one!" she said praising London with some pats as she directed her to the next jump. This one being a wall. It was almost tall enough that both Leslie and London couldn't see the other side. Most horses wouldn't even jump it, but London clearly wanted to give it a shot. 

     "Easy girl..we're not ready for that yet..." she said as she pulled London to a stop gently. "That was a great start, but we're not experienced enough for a wall jump that high. I'm not even comfortable jumping it when I can barely see over it even on you." she told the mare giving her a few pats as she decided to take a couple laps at a trot and a walk to take a small break. Though Leslie just let London do as she please as she let go of the reins. London knew not to jump when Leslie wasn't ready, so she wasn't worried.

     As Leslie let London walk around the arena and take a break, she looked around seeing most of everyone training. "Looks like we aren't the only ones wanting to be ready for that show," she said more to herself then to London as she watched Jacob. She couldn't help it, but she knew something was up with him lately. She just didn't know what it was. Leslie then looked over seeing Bridge was at his antics again with Winter.

     "Alright girl. Let's get back to it. We'll train a little bit longer to make up for those days lost," she said before she grabbed the reins again and kicked London to a canter. "Darn it," she said looking back at the jump they just jumped over seeing they had knocked a poll down, "It's ok. This isn't the show. We just need to get better that's all," she said reassuring herself. 

     Though that's when things started to go hay wire. London started to act up, but Leslie wasn't entirely sure why. "Easy girl..there's nothing wrong. It's just the same jumps that we've jumped I don't even know how many times." she said unsure why the mare seemed to act up some. "Just a few more jumps and we'll be done, alright girl?" she said giving her a pat or two before they jumped over a triple bar.

     What Leslie didn't know was that Bridge had somehow gotten into the arena and was somehow jumping the same jumps her and London were. How a foal was able to jump jumps that high, she didn't know. Pedigree probably. Though Leslie never even realized that Bridge was following them jumping the jumps effortlessly. That was when things got worse. Not only was London starting to act up with Bridge following behind, but she also lost all focus on the approaching jump.

     London turned her ear when she heard Bridge call to her. There was a jump quickly approaching as Leslie leaned forward in her saddle only to be thrown into the jump as London suddenly slid to a stop. Leslie just laid there for a moment unsure of what happened. After a minute or two of recollecting her breath, she slowly sat up with her hand on her forehead. "She had a small headache, but at least she was wearing her helmet. 

     Leslie just looked around seeing she had been thrown into the jump as she saw London standing a few yards from her. London seemed perfectly calm now. She just groaned as she tried to collect herself to get up. Unfortunately, when Leslie put pressure on her leg, she fell back down. "Ouch.." she said carefully running her hands down her leg, "I think I sprained my ankle," she said as her ankle hurt from the touch. Her boot wasn't helping either with the pain.

When Winter walked over to see Leslie jump she was instead sitting on the ground, Winter opened the gate and ran over to Leslie, though some jumps were able to be dodged but Winter put some gymnastic skills into dodging the jumps, then walked over to Leslie and looked at her on the ground.

"Oh dear, and I though someone else was gonna get hurt, best to help you up and get some bandages from Mrs. Wolf then." Winter said as she pulled Leslie's arm onto her shoulders and back, then she picked up Leslie's legs and held them at her waist, she was fairly more stronger then a boy no doubt.

"Don't mind my strength, when I was gone my new home had some different things I could try out, like gymnastics and strength training. It's proven to work!" Winter said as she walked around some jumps, then Bridge did come back over to stand next to London when he grabbed her reins and started to pull her.

The little colt happy that he was helping, though Ava walked over to see Leslie in Winter's arms, she guessed that she hurt herself for that, then Ava called Mrs. Wolf over and Mrs. Wolf grabbed the bandages from within her pockets. Then Winter had setted Leslie into the rider's lounge, it was dark until Winter turned on the lights, they were brighter then before.

"I know you don't need bandages, but just trust me when I say that they work, I know that your not bleeding or anything, but I did used to have some bandages on me when I fell off more mare more then once." Winter said as she came back over to sit next to Leslie.

Then Mrs. Wolf opened the door to the rider's lounge since Winter closed them on accident, she pull off some of the wraps and Winter took off Leslie's boot and sock that was sprained, then Mrs. Wolf applied the bandages and some cologne to make Leslie smell like cookies.

That was when Bridge smelled the cookie scented cologne and looked at Leslie, Mrs. Wolf applied his halter on when he was about to nibble on Leslie's leg, Winter giggled when Bridge smelled the cookie cologne.

"Bridge, your not allowed to have cookies, they might be bad for you. but you are a really bad foodie." Winter said as she kept giggling at Bridge, "He's putting on too much weight there for himself, he needs to eat less, Leslie do you think it's okay if we move Bridge to another stall? Just to get his weight down since he now has a bad habit for food, and that is not okay for foals his age yet." Mrs. Wolf asked Leslie, Winter got up and started petting him as she went over to the lounge's closet and pulled out some crutches for Leslie.

"And that you need someone to train London, since you have a sprained leg, you can't do too much. Which includes riding your mare, but everyone will be here for you, and helping you if you need it." Winter said, she didn't pull the topic into a suggestion, more of a worried tone hidden in that voice.

"Yes, so you'll be decomissioned to either stay in your dorm, or tour more of the new barn, you can also stay in the loft and set up a girl space up there as well!" Mrs. Wolf got cheery at the end, though she smiled again when she mentioned the loft again, she probably wanted Leslie to be up there with Ava, Winter, Lilithe and Amy since she could get to know them more.

"Yeah! You could get to our girl group better! And that we can slumber parties!" Winter got excited to the idea of that, that Ava came in when she the words "loft" and "slumber parties".

"Though it is your choice, you can still do what you please, it's just that you can't do anything too serious or that leg of yours is gonna get worse if you do something bad." Mrs. Wolf respected at the beginning, then she put a warning at the end of her sentence, she was serious at the end that Winter and Ava hushed when they heard what Mrs. Wolf said.

     Leslie just carefully ran her hand up and down her ankle a few times as she hissed at the pain. She soon looked up seeing Winter running over, "I'm fine..just a sprain I think...I've had worse." she said, but Winter just shook her head and picked her up. "Woah.." she muttered clearly not used to being picked up, "It appears so." she said before looking over seeing London and Bridge following slightly behind them both.

     London just snorted slightly as Bridge "led" her. Though she just let him despite having her ears pinned mad at him. Never has London done anything to her rider like that before, and she wasn't happy about it. London just walked closer to Leslie sniffing at her as Winter carried her, "I'm fine girl.." Leslie said before she carefully pushed the mare away. London just followed from a distance until they went into the rider's lounge.

     Leslie positioned herself to a comfortable position as Winter put her on the couch, "Thanks.." she said trying to figure out what exactly happened and to keep pressure off of her ankle. She looked over seeing London standing close to the door to the rider's lounge. "I don't know what happened. London never just acts up like that, and she never has just stopped out of no where as she approached a jump.." she said as she took her helmet off and set it down beside her.

     She then looked at Mrs. Wolf and Winter, "As long as it helps..I don't care.." she said as she tried to keep her mind off of the pain as Winter carefully took off her boot and sock. Leslie just looked at Bridge, "Huh..I remember him neighing just before London accidentally threw me..wonder if that had to do anything about it.." she said before looking at Mrs. Wolf again, "It doesn't matter to me. I just care about what's best for all the horses." she said.

     London just stood where she was feeling bad about throwing Leslie. She eventually stood at the open doorway. Leslie just looked over seeing her, "I'm fine girl..just a sprained ankle..nothing serious," she said with a small sigh at the end. "Well she can spend the rest of the day in the pasture or her stall..I think we've both had enough jumping for one day.." she said with a pause her mind still elsewhere trying to figure out what got London to act up. 

     "It's my fault anyway. I didn't stop when she started to act up. Was just going to do a few more jumps then well this happened.." she said looking up at Winter, "Give her the rest of the day to see if she won't act out anywhere, and maybe tomorrow you can train her if she doesn't anymore. I wouldn't want to put anyone else at risk if she's still acting out for some reason." 

     Leslie just sighed, "Well now that I can't ride there isn't much of anything I can do...not even anything that I needed to get done today like replace London's shoes, give her a shower, and more training..which should now wait until tomorrow if she doesn't act out again," Leslie was just put down. She so desperately wanted to be in the show that was coming up, but she just figured she couldn't at that point. London had to be given a few days off, and now Leslie couldn't ride for who knows how long. 

     Riding was her everything especially whenever she got to ride London. Now she couldn't. "I guess..." she said looking at the others. "I just hope I can compete in the show...I haven't been in one for ages, and I've been looking forward to it..at least until now." she said looking down slightly again, "You guys should get back to what you were doing...I won't keep you.."

"Oh your darling! I just need to tend to your mare then, that's all and we can possibly chat when I need a quick drink, after all I keep coffee and hot chocolate in the cuboards!" Mrs. Wolf said, she didn't pull anything out of her sleeve or coat jacket, she just did as she said, though Winter just stayed with Leslie, to see if anything was gonna happen.

"And your fine, because I can just see if anything happens to you, just for the while. And Bridge seems to be a little worried for you Leslie." Winter said, the little foal walked up to Leslie and he put his head on her lap, he kinda acted like a cat! If the cat was larger and had the same size as a horse, and longer legs..

Though Bridge did get to sniff Leslie's head though he soon stopped and also put his head on Winter's lap as well, Ava came into the lounge with a couple of brush's, Winter looked up at her and looked humble, she knew situations like this all too well and just began to hum when Ava lightly and gently brushed Bridge in the lounge.

"You'll need to remove the horse hair, I'll help with that then." Winter told Ava, Bridge then put his head back on Leslie's lap then he left to go to London's stall, though Mrs. Wolf was brushing and tending to London's needs.

Mrs. Wolf did have her own brush for London, a brush that is gentle, pulls on the hair but it doesn't make the horse feel anything, she did give London some carrots for being good, then she pulled a horse brush from out her sleeve..

"I don't know if you've ever had a toothbrush, but I see that you need your teeth done, I know that must people in this barn don't see that a horse needs his or her's teeth done. So just be good, and I'll give you more carrots!" Mrs. Wolf said as she carefully went up to London and opened her mouth.

Mrs. Wolf then began to brush her teeth, making sure that she got every spot in and between's London's teeth, though Ava came over and applied some coat shiner to London's coat and applied some good smiling cologne, though it was one that Mrs. Wolf made for horse's so not even anything that she makes can escape her grasp and then it's turn into something like a coat shiner for horse's.

Though Winter did come out of the barn to help Leslie up into her arms once more to the dining hall, Ava looked over to see Winter taking Leslie to the dining hall for some lunch or dinner, Mrs. Wolf let Ava go with Winter as the other's in the girl group also came and went with them, Mrs. Wolf smiled then took London back to her stall.

Mrs. Wolf saw Bridge and took him to a free stall, one that's empty and perfect for Bridge to grow up in, but she did let Bridge stay in the stall with London for a little bit, then she took him to his new stall for the night.

     Leslie just nodded slightly, "Alright then..thanks," she sighed. She couldn't keep focus entirely due to not knowing what caused London to act up. Even on their first rides together, London never did anything of the sort. Leslie was just too focused on jumping that she didn't even bother to look which resulted in her getting hurt. Though she was grateful London was fine. She just looked at Winter, "I'll be fine...not like there's anything I can do that will worsen my ankle anymore.." she said trying to put on even the smallest of smiles.

    She just looked over to see Bridge, "What are you doing in here? This is the rider's lounge not the horse lounge," she said with a small chuckle as she started stroking the foal as he put his head on her lap. Leslie just redirected the colt's head so that he didn't mess with her hair or head since she did have a small migraine from the fall. How she only sprained her ankle, she didn't know since she fell right into the jump. Though she wouldn't be surprised if she was sore the next day. 

     Leslie just watched Bridge thinking to herself as she listened to the humming. "I wonder if Bridge was the reason London was acting up..I guess if I just took the second to look around my surroundings..I probably wouldn't be in this situation if I hadn't just looked to see what was going on.." she said mainly to herself as she stroked Bridge again as he placed his head back on her lap.

     London just stood patiently enjoying the attention, but it wasn't the same for her without Leslie. Though she just looked at the rider's lounge every now and then before she looked at Mrs. Wolf as she spoke. She enjoyed the carrots, and tried to see if she had anymore, but she didn't. London then just gave a confused look as Mrs. Wolf had pulled out something that wasn't familiar to her. The mare just tried to lift her head up so Mrs. Wolf couldn't do whatever she tried to do in her mouth, but she eventually stopped fighting and just got it done and over with.
     
     Leslie just grabbed the crutches given to her as Winter helped her up. "Never thought I'd be using these again.." she said muttering underneath her breath as they slowly made their way over to the dining hall. London was just munching on her hay when she heard Leslie's quiet voice. The mare turned around in her stall and stuck her head out of the stall when she saw Leslie and the others. 

     She tried to get Leslie's attention, but Leslie only looked at her for a second before looking down. "I'll be back later girl..." she said before she caught up with the others. Leslie never felt bored like she had. Though Leslie mainly stayed silent. London thought just watched Leslie and the others leave until she couldn't seem them anymore. It wasn't that long until she just went back to munching on her hay.

(I love what you said about the rider's lounge, it was funny!)

When Bridge stuck up his head, Mrs. Wolf was thinking about decorating each stall to the horse's personality, though she did look back at the colt before she walked over to London's stall, it was far but she didn't mind walking. But when she did reach the stall, she looked at London before checking her teeth then she left her alone, but not before sneaking a couple carrots that were chopped and a few sugar cubes that were normal.

"Sorry about checking your teeth girl, I just need to make sure that they were filed down when Leslie got you, though I did make sure that your new horseshoes that I put on your feet are good and comfortable." Mrs. Wolf told London, Jacob came up behind her as she got scared.

"For heaven's sake Jacob! Never do that again!" Mrs. Wolf said but she did not yell, though Jacob apologized before heading to the dining hall, Mrs. Wolf shortly followed behind him.

And when the two were gone, Bridge climbed out of his new stall that he moved in and jumped over it, he then ran over to London and jumped into her stall, he even began to nuzzled her on her back legs, her stomach lightly, and her neck where her leg was.

The little colt was happy and then began to try and eat out of London's haynet, he did watch London when he was eating, because his guard was up and he would began to eat when and if she pushed him away fro the haynet, he did drink from her bucket as well.

Bridge was happy that he had neighed, Void and Night Fury neighed as the other horses did as well, Bridge then whinnied to London like a big sister to a little foal. Void did want to interact with London more, so he did neigh to her a couple times before he awaited her neighs.

Though at the dining hall, Mrs. Wolf was enjoying herself as she was sitting with Winter, Leslie and the girl group, Jacob was next Mrs. Wolf as he blushed when looked at Leslie on accident sometimes. Though Jacob did finish his meal when he left early, Mrs. Wolf suggested Leslie to follow him when she was done with her meal..

"And don't forget to follow him, I can tell.." Mrs. Wolf said eerily, Lilithe raised and eyebrow when Mrs. Wolf said that, but she did ending up sitting at the table as she finished her meal.

Mrs. Wolf finished her meal and ended up throwing it away in the nearby trashcan, Ava did finish her's and so did Winter, Amy was quiet the whole way through until she just stabbed the tray.

"You alright Amy? It's not like you to be stabbing your tray, or even finishing last on our meals!" Ava asked worriedly, Amy then looked up at Ava as she was crying.

"Oh what happened?" Winter asked in a soft voice, Amy looked at her before getting up.

"My.. Boyfriend.. Broke up with me.." Amy murmured, Mrs. Wolf heard what she said as the other's were confused, then Mrs. Wolf told them.

"What?! That stupid boy! What did he say?" Ava said protectively, Amy told her and Ava ran out of the dining hall.

"But.. He lives in another town.. Never mind.." Amy said, she must've gotten the message through a bottle since her mother won't let her have a phone.

"Come here, and let my hugs settled you down." Mrs. Wolf said lovingly, her voice soft and sweet like some rider's mother's, Amy then ran into her arms and began crying.

Then just like that, Amy was sleeping as she was being carried in Mrs. Wolf's arms.

"I'll take her to her dorm, you all can do what you want." Mrs. Wolf said, Ava and Lilithe yawned as they followed behind Mrs. Wolf, Winter stayed behind to help Leslie with what she needed.

"I'm not gonna leave you, not without some help. Sometimes.." Winter said, she muttered the last part to herself..

     London just stuck her head out of the stall as she heard someone approach her stall hoping it had her owner, but it was only Mrs. Wolf again. She just munched on the carrots and sugar cubes given to her. The mare just stood there looking around for Leslie, but never saw her. Eventually London just turned around in her stall as Jacob startled Mrs. Wolf. She just nibbled on her hay a bit.

     It wasn't long until London just looked out her stall again as they left before she turned around again and left her hay net alone. Then London ended up getting out of his stall and into her own. London just let out a small snort pinning her ears slightly as she watched him from the corner of her eye. She wasn't in the mood to direct him away or anything from her haynet. Instead she just stood quietly in her stall flicking her tail around every now and then.

     Though London stomped her hoof a bit as Bridge started nuzzling various parts of her body. She looked up slightly at Void giving him the mare glare before she just put her head in one of the corners of the stall. She missed Leslie. Leslie hadn't checked on her since she messed up in the arena. London was used to Leslie spending most of her day with her, but Leslie only spent a few hours with her. 

      Leslie was still pretty quiet even in the dining hall. She just ate her food in peace and quiet as she listened to the others talk. Though she did look up at Jacob every now and then until he got up and left. Leslie just shook her head a bit, "I should really check on London soon..I haven't really seen her since she threw me into the jump. Not that it's her fault because it isn't..it's mine." she said. "Don't tell me otherwise. I kept going when she was acting up. This is the aftermath of doing that." she said keeping her gaze down a bit.

     It wasn't long before everyone left..well except for Winter. "Winter I'm fine..it's just a sprained ankle. Better then being in a wheelchair for a month...or was it two? I can't remember." she said thinking out loud to herself at that point. Carefully, Leslie just got up and grabbed the crutches. "I better go see London.." she said as she started making her way over to the exit of the dining hall after she threw away her tray. Leslie knew Winter was going to tag along.

     Leslie just went over to the barn. Surprisingly, she was a bit fast even with the crutches. It was just often that she injured herself since showjumping was her main discipline. This wasn't the first time something similar has happened, but it had been a few years. Before she bought London. God those lesson horses never did what she asked. "Hey girl.." she said as she eventually reached London's stall seeing her in the corner and Bridge just carefully nibbling her haynet. "London this isn't your fault girl," she said as London came over at the sound of her voice.

     London just lowered her head enjoying feeling of Leslie's touch again. Though Leslie did lean her crutches against the stall door, and London sniffed them. She recognized the object. "I'm fine girl..I just can't....ride you," she sighed as Leslie looked down. She didn't know how long she couldn't ride either. That only made it worse. Now Leslie couldn't do anything useful. She couldn't train, she couldn't care for her own horse. All she could do was just sit around. "I wonder if that new horse came at all today.." she wondered out loud.

     __________

   haha thanks I thought it was funny too

"Winter's mare right? Or am I thinking about something else?" Jacob asked, he smiled brightly at Leslie before he looked up at a gorgeous London.

"Man I can't remember when we had a gorgeous mare enter and stay at our barn, but London is more of a beaut!" Jacob said, he didn't give treats he just stared at her and adored her every second.

"Anyways, you can do lot's of things on crutches! Though we just make sure that if anyone had been injured was taken care of by the person that helped them, even Winter had helped so many of the rider's once, though.. She did once have more then just a sprained ankle.. Man that was a dark time to tame a wild horse, but she knew that and still took the risk.." Jacob said uncomfortably, he almost muttered and murmured the last part.

"A-anyways, I can help you with your sprained ankle, even though Winter will hover over us and watch us like a frickin' eagle!" Jacob said aloud, Winter went up to him and grabbed his ear before he even saw her.

"Alright! Enough with the jokes, I'm just protective of anyone!" Winter said, she sounded like she whined in the back of her throat, though she did try to hide it.

"What it's true, you watch anyone like an eagle even though you were sent to the ER for being busted up more then a human could ever be! You took the risk of taming a wild horse, and you knew that, but you still did it and ended up LEAVING THE BARN FOR TEN YEARS! TEN YEARS OF SOLITUDE AND YOU NEVER ONCE USED THE PHONE!" Jacob shouted, Winter fell to the ground and yelled back at him, Jacob only grew worse for the yelling before Leslie intervened.

Ava was not pleased to Jacob and Winter yell at each other, Mrs. Wolf even came over and slapped them both on the wrist, Ava then took Winter into the rider's lounge to cool down while Jacob was taken to the dorms to stop being angry at Winter.

"Oh my, I haven't seen them yell at each other for fifteen years, the only thing that they ever yelled over was just lunch. Though they did quickly apologize for that to each other, but the big one was when Winter was new and she was much younger then now and she was a quick one to attitude and anger. Though I am pleased to see her use her ability to control herself more." Mrs. Wolf said, though she was talking to Leslie and London about that.

But anyways, I am sorry that they yelled when you and London were here, and I am terribly sorry about that." Mrs. Wolf apologized to Leslie and London.

Ava came back and gave Leslie and London some treats before tending to her horse, Picante did come out of his stall and walked over to Leslie and London, the stallion looked like London's father if he was even, but he wasn't. Though he did chimera himself and showed it from his head all the way to his tail, the half brown half grey was definately chimera.

Though Picante's bald face looked like it faded and brought a more darker brown dots on the half bald face, surprisingly enough his stockings went all the way up to his shoulders and even where his tail was too, though his sweet amber and green eyes were calming as they were light in color, Mrs. Wolf messed with him mane as it was golden to the roots. She just applied coat shiner to him.

"What a pretty gorgeous boy you are, you would be perfect to have London foal, but not now, maybe Void will her heart?" Mrs. Wolf spoke lightly to Picante, her voice sweet and calm, even having a bit gentleness to her voice, Picante only agreed before looking at London and Leslie with careful and soft, gentle eyes. He had a good soul.

Picante then bowed to Leslie and London before Mrs. Wolf did exercises with Picante, showing London the exercise's that will be done in the future, though she giggled at Picante for having the most foals in his pedigree, he couldn't agree more as he seemed to like London a bit. Void then got a little stand-off-ish as he looked at Picante with jealous eyes.

Picante only looked at Void with his soft, gentle eyes that turned protective towards Londond and Bridge as well, he didn't mind having Bridge there as they seemed to form a quick bond as the stallion only took a more deeper interest at him, Bridge only nibbled his forelock before Picante had put his head again as he rested against Leslie. He was gentle, soft, and light with Leslie as he could tell that she was in pain a bit.

     Leslie nearly jumped when she heard Jacob from out of no where. Honestly she was surprised it was him and not Winter herself. She just turned around a bit embarrassed as she used the stall door for some support, "I can handle crutches just fine. I guess there is more that I can do in crutches then I thought, but trust me I've had worse.." she said as London stuck her head beside Leslie making sure she was alright, "I already told you London. I'm fine. Just a sprained ankle.."

     She then brought her attention back to Jacob, "Mrs. Wolf said that there was another new horse coming in today, but she didn't say who's horse it is. Though the barn will have to get redone...again," she said knowing it had just been redone a few days prior. Leslie felt a bit bad that they were always rebuilding or building things for the barn. They never asked her to help with any of it, but then again now she crutches and a sprained ankle.

     "I'll be fine on my own.." she said before Winter had pulled on his ear. Honestly Leslie was even surprised that she didn't see her walk in. It didn't seem long until the two started yelling at each other. That was when Leslie just grabbed the crutches and somehow managed to get in between the two before she broke them up, "Okay you two. That's enough!" she said as she somehow managed to break them up before Mrs. Wolf and Ava took them to different places.

     Leslie just sighed as she went back over to London's stall as she placed her crutches against the stall once more. "No need to apologize. Arguments happen." she said as she just stroked London. The mare seemed to be doing better with Leslie's soft touch, and her quiet yet caring voice. Leslie then gave Bridge some attention too as he seemed to want some as well. 

     That was when she turned seeing Jacob's stallion. "I swear these horses always manage to get loose...not that it's a bad thing right now.." she said more to herself. "Hey there Picante," she said as she stroked him while leaning on the stall again for support. "I've never seen a barn more full of rare horses before," Leslie said just thinking to herself as she looked over seeing London getting moody again. "London your still my heart horse, and you will forever be." she said shaking her head slightly.

     London though didn't really like all the Leslie gave to the other horse's whenever they went up to her. She just snorted as Void and Picante seemed to start competing over her. The mare just gave both of them her mare glare before she turned around in her stall. "That's definitely London.." Leslie just shrugged a bit, "Well at least I know now that she will be a good mother, but even if I do breed her it will only be until I can't show her anymore, or I just want to take a break from showing.."

     Leslie just sighed as she thought about showing. She hoped she could compete in it. Things just kept getting in the way of that. Even if her ankle healed in time, Leslie wasn't sure if she'd be able to train enough to be ready for the show. Oh why did things have to get so complicated? It was clear that Leslie had been stuck in her head since she was thrown into the jump earlier that day. Leslie just still surprised that all she did was sprain her ankle in a fall like that.

"Picante! Here boy!" Winter said as she ran over to Leslie and Picante next to her, Picante gave Void a stone, cold, stallion glare, one more darker then a mare's glare, Void just snorted and apologized in horse talk. Picante was a little jealous.

"Picante~ You have foals from your previous dams, all of them excellent, so don't compete with another stallion just because of what you are doing." Winter told Picante, Void gave Picante another glare as Picante neighed madly at him.

"Picante! You cannot do that with another stallion!" Jacob said madly, he apologized to Leslie for yelling as Winter did the samething.

"Now, it's almost late I think, I don't know I'm tired so I'm gonna head to the dorms, bye." Jacob yawned, and then he left the barn to go to the dorms, Picante huffed before stammering his hoof down as he showed Void who was in charge of the barn.

Void then stamped his hoof down, it wasn't like Picante's as his hoof sound was smaller and less noisy, Void was just mad at himself for not knowing who was in charge.

"And there goes the stallion that he thinks that he owns the barn." Winter said, she then walked over to London and Bridge jumped up to see Winter.

"Ah hi little buddy, I was just gonna check on you!" Winter said in a motherly voice, it seems like she was getting better at bonding with Bridge more.

Then another rider came in, looking nervous and asking where she is, Winter guided the rider over as she told Winter her name, though Winter was interested in the rider, she even took the reins and took the rider's horse to the stall that Bridge was in before he moved back with London.

Bridge just ignored the new horse, though he never expected a rider as well since Leslie and Jacob had the conversation, but he wasn't listening, he did however jumped the stall in front of Leslie as he ran over to meet the new horse, the new rider, and checking out to see if any other horses were coming.

Though Bridge did all of that and he then returned to Leslie as he jumped back over to the stall, this time perfectly and he seemed to be interested in London more since the new horse arrived with it's rider.

Winter then returned to Leslie's side and began petting London like her own horse, that would mean; teasing her, making kissing noises, little taps on her muzzle and face, and many more!

Winter laughed before she even thought about London acting like Snowstorm, though she kept it silent in her head, and she just ignored the rememberance that she felt. Then she stopped and said good bye to Leslie as she wanted to check on Jacob.

"Oh and the new rider's name is Randy Smithing-Shine, Smithing and Shine from two different families, she also used to own the most well known and rarer horses of today!" Winter shouted, she then left for good to the dorms

     Leslie just laughed a bit to herself quietly, "London they just want to get to know you girl. The horses here aren't the same as those at the old barn. There's no need to act like that." London just snorted a bit keeping her ears pinned slightly as she rolled her eyes. "Don't give me that sass. I swear you can have more sass then me," she said shaking her head a bit as she stroked London, "Just ignore those stallions for now.."

     She then looked over at Jacob as he walked in for a minute or two, "Just stallions being stallions," she said as him and Winter. "What are you apologizing to me for? Arguments happen," she spoke a bit confused then Jacob had left. It seemed like he had been avoiding her a bit, but Leslie didn't really question it. She was learning not to question every little thing that happens there.

     For the rest of the time, Leslie just gave London some attention. Thinking to herself for most of the time when a new rider came in with her horse. Leslie didn't pay much attention, not to be rude, she just needed to think and all. Leslie looked at Winter before she left, "Alright..I better be heading off to bed too..I had a long day," she said as she made sure London and Bridge were good for the night before giving them each a few quick pets before she left.

     Leslie grabbed the crutches and placed them underneath her arms as she started to make her way to the dorms. She opened the door to her own before she just put her pajamas on carefully and just crawled into bed for the night. Though she did keep the crutches beside her bed in case she needed them throughout the night, but she didn't. Instead Leslie just fell right asleep.

Mrs. Wolf entered the darken barn as she led the new rider to the dorms, though it was a big building as she led the new rider around to her dorm.

"So tell me miss, what is your name?" Mrs. Wolf asked in a nice manner, the rider smiled.

"Uh, my name is Randy Smithing-Shine." Randy said, Mrs. Wolf giggled in a nice manner as she led Randy to her dorm, though she did open the door for Randy.

"Here you go darling, your new room! You'll make lot's of friends! I just know it!" Mrs. Wolf excitedly said, Randy went in and already felt at home.

"Thank you, uhm, your name?" Randy asked Mrs. Wolf, she smiled at Randy.

"My name is Rose Wolf, but you can call me Mrs. Wolf if you'd like." Mrs. Wolf answered Randy's question, Randy waved and said good night to Mrs. Wolf as she did the samething.

Randy was happy to be at a new barn, and one that didn't like her style of riding, though her horse was happy that she was home to a new barn as the other horses said their hello's to her.

------------------------------------------------ (<--- Time Lapse)

Though next morning Mrs. Wolf was up bright and early as she walked into the barn, it was currently 3 in the morning, and everyone was still asleep, but Mrs. Wolf was happy and brightly showed it!

"Alright everyone, time to get up! Time to exercise!" Mrs. Wolf told the horses, all of them including Bridge looked at her, she gave off a happy and really happy mood about to the barn.

"I bought a new exerciser for you all! And I put at the back of the barn, so there you all go!" Mrs. Wolf said, she pulled out a multi-layer rope with lot's of attachable locks, she then started to grab every horse and walk them to the horse walker (or also known as a hotwalker!).

Though as Mrs. Wolf lead every horse, she began to detach the horses and make sure that there was enough of them for one part of the horse walker, though when every horse, including Bridge was in it, she closed and locked the gate as the horse walker began to move.

Bridge was placed next to London as the new mare was also placed next to them as well, she was shy to them, but Bridge said his hello to the new mare, and the mare replied. She was actually used to a horse walker, and she looked like she knew the rthym as Bridge got into the same rthym as well, then every horse got into the rthym.

And as Mrs. Wolf walked back into the barn, all the rider's were confused until Mrs. Wolf took them to the horse walker, they were all relaxed as Randy walked to the horse walker and examined it, she was okay for her new mare to have been in the horse walker.

"Sorry for not telling you everyone, I just bought it a minute or two ago, I already setted it up correctly." Mrs. Wolf said, Randy said hello to her horse and her mare neighed as she continued to walk.

"Thanks for building this, I was slightly worried if you didn't have a horse walker, mostly because my horse IS EXTREMELY ENERGECTIC, meaning that she would need to be trained every other hour to get rid of her energy." Randy told Mrs. Wolf, though she was calm now.

     Leslie just slept most of the night. She did wake up every now and then due to her ankle. She may have gotten up and found pain reliever medicine in her night stand to help relieve the pain a bit. It seemed to work, as she went right back to sleep for the night. That was until she woke up to having the sun in her eyes, "Ouch. Must have forgotten to close the blinds last night," she said as she peeked out of her window for a second. "Time to get up I guess.." she sighed.

     Leslie just got up and carefully got dressed. She put on a white riding top and black jophers. She quickly put her one boot on remembering she had left the other in the rider's lounge the previous day. "Better grab that and my helmet sometime today." she thought to herself as she grabbed the crutches and headed out the door. She was right. Her body was sore from the fall, but she knew it would get better in the next day or two.

     She made her way to the barn only to see the other rider's, "What's all of this about?" she asked confused as to why everyone was murmuring. That was when she realized none of the horses were in their stalls. Not even the pastures. Until Mrs. Wolf walked over and brought them to the hotwalker. Leslie let out a small sigh of relief, "I used to put London in a hotwalker once a day...I honestly didn't even realize you didn't even have one here, but I've never seen one so big."

     London just went with the rhythm like old times. She kept her eye on Bridge and the new mare before she heard Leslie's voice. She immediately picked her head up and looked over seeing Leslie standing with the others. Though she did keep with the rhythm. Leslie just chuckled, "Well at least it will help with London since y'know...I can't ride her.." she said looking down slightly. Things just weren't going right for her or London. How much was it to ask that they got to compete in the upcoming show?
