Sam's grooms had cleaned all of the stalls, so Sam let them go. she smiled at Moxie as she nipped at one of their heels. She saw Dixie jump away from the dogs, hissing. She breathed in a burst of fresh air. She loved this. She still had to pick up Mister from Zoe's farm, but she had her first group of lessons today. She picked up their application forms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam brought her pen to her lips, thinking. she started with Maddison. How would she ride? Someon quiet, but who can canter and trot with excellance. She ran through some of the possibilitys in her head. Sam finally decided on Raine, the pretty white arabian. Next, she thought of Joe. He could have a little more of a challenge. She thought once more. She decided on Snowy, the small white pony. Next, she thought of Sarah. the most advanced out of the group. She wanted a horse that could move foward and jump, but still be collected enough for a child to control. Sam decided that Dandylion would be best for this task. Finally, Maggie. The very beginner girl. She thought that either Quinn, P.J, or Ocean would be suitable. After much consideration, she finally decided on Ocean. She set off to start tacking up the horses. She grabbed some brushes and went to Raine's stall. She pet the soft mare and brushed the dirt out of her pretty coat. After she had fully brushed her, she changed her mind. She dcided she would let the kids brush and tack up the horses. She exited the stall and sat down on a wooden bench, waiting for the kids to arrive.

[.:.Sam.:.]

I sat in my newly pressed riding clothes in my mother's stylish mustang. We sped down the road, going to my first riding lesson.
Oh Maddison, please, don't slouch!
I rolled my eyes to myself and sat up straighter. The sign finally came into sight. The stables were beautiful and I saw a 16 year old sitting down in front of the barn. My mother skillfully parked the car and helped me get out. I leapt out, excitement building. I hadn't ridden in two weeks! The girl waved and I walked forward.
Hello! I am Sam! You are...Maddison?
I nodded and grinned.
You can call me Maddi.
My mother smiled and walked forward.
Hello, I am Ellen, Maddi's mother. is she alright?
Sam nodded, and my mother kissed my head. She walked back to her car and called out, be back later! She drove off in her snappy car and I looked up at Sam.
Well, since you are first here, I will just show you your horse and we can start tacking up!
She led me to a pretty white horse.
This is Raine! She is an Arabian.
I grinned and pet the mare on her velvet nose.
I already groomed her, so we can just tack her up. That means to put the saddle and bridle on the horse.
I nodded and stepped back while Sam haltered the mare and led her to a post where she promptly tied up the mare. On the post next to us was a black saddle, white saddle pad, and a beautiful bridle. Sam pointed toward the pad.
First, we put on the pad. Like this.
She flipped the pad over the horses neck, then slid it down to about the center of Raine's back. Then she took it off and let me do it. I mimiced what she did and it didn't look bad! Sam smiled and then handed me the saddle. Surprisingly, it wasn't too heavy! She told me to put it right on top of the saddle pad. I carefully placed in on Raine's back. Sam smiled and then pointed to these white flaps.
Those are keepers. Put them through the billets of the saddle.
I did as I was told on both sides. Then Sam handed me a girth. She attached it to one side, showing me how it was done. I went to the other side and did what Sam had done.
Good job, Maddi! Now! The bridle. This is the hardest thing to do. She took off the mares halter, but had laced the reins around the mares head. She brought the bit up in her hand to the mares mouth. Raine opened her mouth and Sam slid the bit in and pulled the back of the bridle over her ears. Then she buckled up the strap that went around her nose and the one that went around her throat. Then she took it off and let me do it! I put the bit in her mouth and pulled it over Raine's ears. Then I buckled the straps. Sam grinned at me.
Good job! Now, take her to that fence over there while we wait for the other three.
I did as I was told and led the mare to the fence. I saw two cars pile into the driveway, just as I did. Out of one came a boy. A cute boy. Sam called him Joe. Then out of the other came another girl. She looked younger than me. Sarah called her Maggie. Sam led the cute boy over to a white pony. She led the smaller girl over to a black pony. She led them both out and showed them how to brush their horses. As they brushed their horses another car came in. This time, a girl slightly older than me, stepped out. Sam greeted her as Sarah. She showed her to a paint horse. She didn't have to show Sarah how to tack up and groom the mare. Sarah did it by herself. Sam then went back over to cute boy and Maggie. She showed them how to tack up, just like she showed me. While she was doing that, Sarah led the mare out of the stall, all tacked up and groomed. She led her over to me.
Hi! I'm Sarah. This is Dandylion. Whats your horses name?
I smiled, happy to make a friend.
I'm Maddison, but you can call me Maddi. This is...uh...Raine! How old are you?
Sarah looked at the white pony, then pat her.
I'm 10.
I grinned. really? I'm 9!
I knew that we would be friends. I reached out to pet Dandylion. Just then, cute boy and Maggie led their horses over. Sam told us to talk while she answered a phone call.
The cute boy looked right at me, then blushed and turned away.
I'm Maggie. This is Ocean!
The toothless girl grinned and proudly looked at her pony.
I'm Joe. This is Snowy.
The cute boy blushed as he found me looking at him.
Sarah and I introduced ourselves and our horses. Sam came back just then and showed us to a large ring. She instructed us to tighten our girths, and we all obeyed. I liked Sam. She was really nice. She then brought these step things toward Sarah.
Sarah, please show us how to mount our horses.
Sarah blushed, then steppd onto the steps. She took Dandylion's mane and reins in one hand. She put her other hand on the seat of the saddle. She put her left foot in the closest stirrup and jumped up, springing lightly into the saddle. Sam came around to each of us, helping us get up. When she came to me, I tried to do exactly as Sarah did, but ended up nearly fall off the other side.
Try not to jump so much next time.
Sam winked at me.
Alright guys. Everyone turn your horses to the outside and begin walking around. Dandy first, then Ocean, Snowy, then Raine. While we warm our horses up at a walk, we can play a little game. I will point to each of you and you will have to say a breed of horse.
As Raine walked forward, I thought about breeds. I saw that everyon else was too.
Sam pointed to Joe.
Mustang.
Maggie.
Arabian
Sarah
Barb
And then she pointed to me.
Thoroughbred?
Sam nodded her praise.
Alright, this time you will say a color of horse.
First she pointed to Joe
Black
Then Maggie
Brown
Then Sarah
Chestnut
Then me
Paint?
Sam smiled. We had been walking around the ring for about five minutes.
Alright. Now, we are going to work on our two point position. when you jump over somthing, you always go into two point position. Okay?
We all nodded. She pointed to Sarah. She stood up in the saddle, leaning over her horses neck. Then she pointed to Joe, who fumbled with his reins, then copied Sarah. She pointed to Maggie. Her back was arched, and her heels were down.
Beautiful two point! Everyone give her a hand!
We all clapped and laughed as Maggie bowed.
She then pointed at me. I gulped and leaned forward over my horses neck. Sam grinned.
Great!
Next, she pulled three poles into the center of the arena.
Before you jump, you should always know how to go over poles at the walk and trot. for now, we will go over them at the walk. When you get to C, turn your horse into the center of the arena and go into your two point. after your horse gets over the poles, you can sit back down.
Sarah was leading, so she turned her horse and went up. Then Maggie followed. Joe wasn't far behind. I turned in my horse, after Joe. We all went up in two point. I heard a clack of Dandy's back foot hitting the last pole. Maggie went over, then sat down and before I knew it, Joe was done. I was walking toward the poles and I got up. Raine snorted and stepped sideways slowly, avoiding the poles. Sam frowned.
Turn her, and do it again.
I did as she told me to do, but Raine just sidestepped away from the poles once more. My face burned up. Sam walked over, took the reins and led Raine over the poles. The mare threw up her head, but went over them. Sam asked us to do it again. When it came to be my turn, Raine walked over the poles, only slightly hesitating. I pat the mare.
Good job, Maddi!
She clapped, and so did the other three kids.
Alright, guys. Lets trot. Everyone stop after Sarah. Sarah, stop at C.
As we stood and watched Sarah trot around, I couldn't help but feel embarressed. I couldn't even get the horse over a pole! Maggie went and she bumped slightly. Thats when I realized that we were just beginners. It was okay to mess up sometimes. When Joe went, he was posting on the wrong diagnol. Sam corrected him and he switched. It was my turn already. i pressed my heels to Raine's sides and she sprung forward into a fast trot. I pulled back on the reins slightly, and the mare slowed her hammering gait back to a nice, roomy trot. I checked my diagnol and posted. It was...fun! We each trotted around two more times in that direction, then did the same thing in the other direction.
Okay. Now we are going to canter.
She pointed at Sarah, who pressed her heels to dandy's sides. The paint mare sprung into a beautiful canter. Sarah was off balence though, and she fell back. She had to pull herself up with the mane, maknig a very bad appearance.
Thats okay, Sarah. Just make sure you are prepared next time.
Sarah nodded. She saw that Maggie was next. She asked Joe to come up and lead her around in a canter. That means that Joe canters and Maggie canters behind him. She asked Joe to take it slow, and he obeyed. He asked the small pony for a nice canter and Maggie gulped. I could see that she was nervous. As they cantered around, Maggie's grimance turned to a grin. I could see she liked it! then it was my turn! I gulped. I didn't like cantering. i asked for a trot, then pressed with my legs. Raine smoothened out into a slow canter. I actually enjoyed it! I liked Raine! Sarah, Joe, Maggie, and i cantered around twice more before Sam told us to walk our horses out. She told us that Joe and sarah were going to jump. She set up a small jump. I saw that it was only about 1 1/2 feet high. She told me and Maggie to come into the center of the ring. She told us to stand next to the jump, so we wouldn't be in the way. Then she told Joe to come in. Sarah would go first.
Try it at a trot first, okay?
Sam called out. Sarah nodded and asked Dandy to trot. The mare tossed up her head and sprang forward. Sarah changed her diagnol. I watched her move WITH her horse, not against her. I saw her turn in. Dandy's ears pricked forward. at the last second, Sarah leaned forward and Dandy took off the ground. Sarah stayed up while in the air, and then leaned back slightly as Dandy landed. She trotted on and she grinned.
why don't you try it at a canter then you can be done. dandy's tired! Sam laughed.
Sarah grined and nodded. She asked the mare to canter and Dandy responded immediatly. They cantered powerfully around and when Sarah turned in, Dandy sped up a little bit. She jumped, and sarah leaned forward. when she landed, Sarah leaned back again. She slowed Dandy after the jump and pat her neck with loving strokes.
Great job, Sarah! Give her a hand!We all clapped loudly. even Joe...
Then Joe was up. He did the same thing as Sarah, except he trotted both times. Sam then told us to walk out our horses once more. I pat Raine. I hoped I could ride her agian next week! Sam asked Sarah to demonstrate etting off. she leaned forward, swung her leg over the saddle and slid down. Joe then did the same thing. Finally she helped Maggie, then came to me. I did the samet hing and landed. the impact pulled me back a little bit. sam laughed andpat me on the back. She showed us how to untack. It was a lot easier than tacking up. Once all of the horses were in the halters, she told us to groom. I grabbed a brush and stared at it. Joe saw I was having trouble and walked over.
Need help?
I nodded.
He showed me how to brush the horse, starting at the neck. then i did what he showed me. He pat me on the shouler, then said.See you next week, Mad.
Mad...
I smiled and brushed Raine down. We all put our ponies away and then we had to put the saddles and bridles back on the post where we found them. my mom was waiting. As soon I got in the car she said, How was it?
And I answered
Amazing. I can't wait until next week!

[.:.Sam.:.]

What if I'm the only boy here?
I thought to myself.
Joe! Stop worrying!
My mother scolded me. I had on my new riding pants, half chaps, and riding boots along with my favorite tee shirt. I looked like crap. I sighed and fixed my hair that my mom had insisted I gel back. I spiked it up and grimanced. When we finally came in, I saw a 16 year old girl sitting on a hay bale. A HOT 16 year old! I was only 13, but that didn't change anything! I got out of the car. I saw a girl already standing with a white horse. Then I got out of the car and next to our car another girl got out. A cute, 7 year old. The girl with the pony was staring at me weirdly. I blushed and walked toward the hot girl. I smiled at her, and she grinned back.
Hi, I'm Sam. you are...Joe?
I nodded.
And you are Maggie?
The toothless girl nodded and smiled.
Alright guys, come on
I couldn't help but stare at her ass as we walked toward a black pony. She let Maggie lead her out of the stall and to a post. She showed me to a white pony.
So...do you have a boyfriend?
I asked her.
Sam raised an eyebrow at me.
No.
I grinned and lead the mare out of the stall to a post next to Maggie's. SHe showed us how to groom and tack up our horses. Then another car showed up. a 10 year old girl stepped out. Not only was she pretty, but she was prettier than Sam! I lost interest in my riding teacher, and interest grew in this new girl! Sam pointed toward a paint mare for the new girl to ride. She called the new girl Sarah. I got back to grooming the horse, she called Snowy. I tacked her up and lead her to the post. Sarah and the girl with the white pony were already standing there.
I'm Maggie! This is Ocean!
She grinned.
I'm Joe. This is snowy.
I looked right at Sarah, but the girl with the white pony must of thougtht I was looking at her, because she blushed.
I'M Maddison, but call me Maddi. Oh, and this is Raine.
The girl with the white pony introduced herself.
Then the hot girl said softly
I'm Sarah. This is Dandylion.
We all looked awkwardly at each other until Sam came down and lead us to a large ring. She asked Sarah to mount, then helped each of us. She instructed us to go to the outside of the ring.
Lets play a game. I point to you and you tell us a breed.
Sam pointed to Me.
Mustang.
Maggie.

And then she pointed to Maddi.

Sam nodded her praise.
Alright, this time you will say a color of horse.

Sam smiled. We had been walking around the ring for about five minutes.
Alright. Now, we are going to work on our two point position. when you jump over somthing, you always go into two point position. Okay?
We all nodded. She pointed to Sarah. She stood up in the saddle, leaning over her horses neck. Then she pointed to me, who fumbled with my reins, then copied Sarah. She pointed to Maggie. Her back was arched, and her heels were down.
Beautiful two point! Everyone give her a hand!
We all clapped and laughed as Maggie bowed.
She then pointed at Maddi. She gulped and leaned forward over my horses neck. Sam grinned.
Great!
Next, she pulled three poles into the center of the arena.
Before you jump, you should always know how to go over poles at the walk and trot. for now, we will go over them at the walk. When you get to C, turn your horse into the center of the arena and go into your two point. after your horse gets over the poles, you can sit back down.
Sarah was leading, so she turned her horse and went up. Then Maggie followed. I wasn't far behind. Maddi turned in her horse, after me. We all went up in two point. I heard a clack of Dandy's back foot hitting the last pole. Maggie went over, then sat down and before I knew it, it was my turn. I was walking toward the poles and I got up. Snowy walked over willingly. I turned around to see Sam pulling Maddi's horse over the poles.
Good job, Maddi!
She clapped, and so did we.
Alright, guys. Lets trot. Everyone stop after Sarah. Sarah, stop at C.
As we stood and watched Sarah trot around, I couldn't help but watch her. I watched her legs, stomache, chest, neck, head. Suddenly, it was my turn! When I went, I was posting on the wrong diagnol. Sam corrected me and I switched. It was Maddi's turn. She trotted slowly around, then grinned with happiness! We each trotted around two more times in that direction, then did the same thing in the other direction.
Okay. Now we are going to canter.
She pointed at Sarah, who pressed her heels to dandy's sides. The paint mare sprung into a beautiful canter. Sarah was off balence though, and she fell back. She had to pull herself up with the mane, maknig a very bad appearance.
Thats okay, Sarah. Just make sure you are prepared next time.Sarah nodded. Sam saw that Maggie was next. She asked me to come up and lead her around in a canter. That means that I canter and Maggie canters behind him. She asked me to take it slow, and I obeyed. I asked the small pony for a nice canter and Maggie gulped. I could see that she was nervous. As we
cantered around, Maggie's grimance turned to a grin. I could see she liked it! then it was maddi's turn. She took it slowly, and was soon done. Sarah, Maddi, Maggie and I cantered around twice more before Sam told us to walk our horses out. She told us that Me and Sarah were going to jump. She set up a small jump. I saw that it was only about 1 1/2 feet high. She told Maddi and Maggie to come into the center of the ring. She told us to stand next to the jump, so we wouldn't be in the way. Then she told me to come in. Sarah would go first.
Try it at a trot first, okay?
Sam called out. Sarah nodded and asked Dandy to trot. The mare tossed up her head and sprang forward. Sarah changed her diagnol. I watched her move WITH her horse, not against her. I saw her turn in. Dandy's ears pricked forward. at the last second, Sarah leaned forward and Dandy took off the ground. Sarah stayed up while in the air, and then leaned back slightly as Dandy landed. She trotted on and she grinned. Wow. I couldn't help but think about how I wish I was as good as her.
why don't you try it at a canter then you can be done. dandy's tired!
Sarah grined and nodded. She asked the mare to canter and Dandy responded immediatly. They cantered powerfully around and when Sarah turned in, Dandy sped up a little bit. She jumped, and sarah leaned forward. when she landed, Sarah leaned back again. She slowed Dandy after the jump and pat her neck with loving strokes.
Great job, Sarah! Give her a hand!We all clapped loudly. I grinned like an idiot.
Then I was up. I did the same thing as Sarah, except I trotted both times. Sam then told us to walk out our horses once more. I pat Snowy. I hoped I could ride her agian next week! Sam asked Sarah to demonstrate getting off. she leaned forward, swung her leg over the saddle and slid down. I then did the same thing. Finally she helped Maggie, then came to Maddi. sam laughed and pat me on the back as we left. She showed us how to untack. It was a lot easier than tacking up. Once all of the horses were in the halters, she told us to groom. Maddi grabbed a brush and stared at it. I saw she was having trouble and walked over.
Need help?
She nodded.
I showed her how to brush the horse, starting at the neck. then she did what I showed her. I pat her on the shoulder, then said.
See you next week, Mad.
Mad...
I smiled and brushed Snowy down. We all put our ponies away and then we had to put the saddles and bridles back on the post where we found them. I saw that Sarah was talking to Sam. I drifted over.
It was really fun! thanks so much! Sam walked away and Sarah turned around and ran into me. I fell backwards and she fell on top of me. Our lips were only inches away. I brought up my head and she brought down hers. We kissed for what seemed like an eternity. Then I helped her up and we laughed. I gave her my number and grinned. See you next week!

[.:.Sam.:.]

Sam watched her first lesson drive away and grinned. She liked them all a lot. Sarah had much skill. Joe had potential. Maddi had the perserverance to learn. And Maggie would definatly become a great rider. Sam had to exersize all of the horses today. She strives to only have one lesson a day. While in thought, she felt fur rub against her pant leg. She looked down to see P.J. Sam grinned and picked up her cat. She stroked her as she walked toward the tack room. She grabbed Twix's bridle, saddle, and pad. After brushing through her matted coat af ew times, she quickly tacked up the pony. She took her helmit and crop. She led the small black pony to the outdoor ring. She first adjusted the fence in the middle of the arena to a higher height. She put it to 3.5 feet. Twix shook her head and pricked her ears. Sam mounted easily. The pony was just her size, but still a little small. She was around 13.6 hh. Twix ducked her head in the center, trying to buck and turn in. Sam pulled her out. She asked for a trot, then a canter. The mare was easily warmed up, and Sam could feel she was ready to jump. She cantered around once before turning the pony into the jump. She picked up her feet and sailed over the jump. Sam had forgotton how lovely it was to ride! She retook the jump a few more times until she realized that Twix was sweating a gallon a second. She quickly pulled hte mare up and slapped herself. how could she be so careless? She opened the gate to the ring and walked her up onto a trail to cool her out. As they walked, she heard a faint bark. She turned around to see Maggie and Spice playing in a nearby field. Sam grinned. The mare had stopped panting, so Sam allowed her to lower her head to get a drink. The mare had stopped sweating, and had calmed down enough for Sam to turn her back and untack her int he barn. She groomed her, getting some sweat off. She then turned the small pony out into a pasture. she really needed someone to help here!

[xxtamiexx]

Kim drove up quietly in her truck as not to spook any horses, she turned off the engine and jumped out. She saw Sam grooming one of her horses and walked up, when she got there she spoke softly, 'Hi, Im Kim, the new groomer she smiled as she touched the ponies neck and strocked it gently

[.:.Sam.:.]

Great! Alright, let me give you the grand tour! She put the mare into the pasture, and she cut across the grass, kicking up her heels like a foal. Sam grinned and then lead the way to the first barn.
The mare I just put out in that pastureShe pointed toward the north pastureIs Twix. She is a fiesty 12 year old Shetland.
There were five horses in the pasture with her. Sam paused at hte fence to point them out.
That blue roan over there? Thats Honey. She is a purebred QH mare. A reining champ.
Honey tossed up her head at the sound of her name being said.
The brown and white paint is Dandylion, or just Dandy. She has great gaits and is one of our top lesson ponies.
She snorted and continued grazing, ignoring the people talking.
The bay mare is Capella. She is our sleekest mare. A personal favorite of mine. SHe has great strides and is always a thrill to ride!
Capella was trotting up and down the fenceline, flirting with the geldings on the other side.
The chestnut is Flare. She can be spooky, so when seeing her, please avoid sudden movements.
The mare had her ears pricked forward, searching her surroundings.
And finally, the smaller blue roan is Imagine. SHe is very, very shy, so usually you won'tbe working with her.
Sam smiled at the pony, who was tittering around on her small legs. She led Kim to the next pasture, where six geldings snorted and grazed.
The small white pony is Snowy. He is our top jump pony here. He is a total sweety. The paint pony grazing next to him is Springer. He is still a baby, so you will be working with him a lot, getting him used to kids and other people ingeneral. The taller, grey, sleek gelding standing by himself is Bugs. He is a top jumper. The dapple grey by Snowy is Eli. He is really fun to ride, and he might be one of your horses assigned to you. The Exmoor standing to the right of Bugs is J.D. He is hilarious at times, and terrible at others. He is just all around really fun. Finally, the small dapple grey gelding is P.J. He is named after our barn cat, who is terrific. Sam took a breath, smiling. She loved all of her horses, and she wasn't even halfway done.
Since it is nice out, all of the horses are out, except Mac, Andy, and their dam, Ameera.
She led Kim to 4 round pens, each of them 100 feet away from each other.
In the first one, the paint is Loveless. He is Springer's sire. The fjord is Atticus. The Andi is Dallas, and the last Fjord is Windy.
She led Kim to the last pasture, which had 9 horses, varying in genders.
She pointed to a grey mare.
That is Kaite. She is one of our favorite lesson ponies here at Wild Horse Stables, simply because of her attitude. She is so fun to ride!
Sam looked over at a black pony.
That is Ocean. He is an old, but lovely, lesson pony.
A small, old dapple grey was standing next to Ocean, grooming him.
The dapple grey pony is Quinn. She is sweet, but really old.
Trotting next to a larger, bay horse was a small white mare.
Next to the bay is Raine. She is a favorite.
A dark, blue roan mare was snorting and balking.
Sam sighed, then said with a slightly wistful tone, Sable.
She said nothing else.
A chestnut pony and a dark roaned one were grazing.
The chestnut is Toffee, and the grey one is Uno. They are best of friends. Finally, the bay with Raine is Varsity.
Sam grinned, then took Kim over to two cats, sitting up.
The calico is P.J, and the tabby is Dixie.
She leaned down to stroke their ears and Dixie slid off.
Sam led her over to eight dogs, playing around.
She pointed out each dog, as she said their names.
Sausage, Maggie, Moxie, Spice, Sugar, Fern, and Ginger.
Sam sighed, then said.
Well, thats it! Alright, find any you have a special interest in, for if you do, we can start with them?

[Zoey]

Adam smield walking out with her. He pulled off his shirt nad hisboxers showed a tad from his jeans Alright lets get busy Sam.

[.:.Sam.:.]

She nodded.
Okay. We have to clean all of the horses stalls, groom them all, and exersize them. I just rode Twix, the small paint pony over there.
She said, pointing to a small black and white mare, who was grazing contently in a pasture.
So, we can start by cleaning her stall. If we split up, we can get things done faster. First, I'll show you around.
She walked past him, putting her hand out just so her fingertips grazed his side. She cast a suggestive glance at him, and headed toward the first barn.
OOC: wanta bring in a guy?

[Zoey]

((arnet i a guy? oh another guy hah u can i can only msue one lol)

hE smiled following her grabbing a pitch fork. He pked her backside grinning winking nad walked intot he stables looking around Gorgeous.. He whispered

[.:.Sam.:.]

She jumped, then smiled. She showed him all the horses, then asked him to start with Twix's stall. She started grooming some of hte horses.

[Zoey]

He got to work mucking stalls. He wolf whistled her laughing nad got a [pitch fork nad a wheel barrol. Got any beet pulp made?

[.:.Sam.:.]

Sam took the last swip of the brush along Honey's blue roan hide and looked up.
Yeah, why? Is Twix not eating?
She looked up at him and wandered over to the stall. Before she knew it, she was right next to Adam. She looked up at him.

[Zoey]

He grinned nad grabbed her waist aclking her into a stack of hay laughing
Ohh too fast for you.
He grinned nad looked into her eyes hesitantly

[.:.Sam.:.]

She laughed, but it was fake. It sounded realistic, and her eyes showed happiness. She looked into his eyes and suddenly pulled him toward her. She pushed her lips against his neck, then moved up into his lips. She found her hand inching up his shirt.
