It's fine she said scooting in next to hiim careful not to bump him with her elbows and not to let any part of her touch. SHe was a bit too shy for that, yet.
1 meter 75 and she is still growing so she'll be a Spruce Jumper Champion before too long. he said without even brakeing his concentration on the course. He was used to answering questions and talking while riding.

"Alright then, if you want to dry them I can handle washing them since I've started." He smiled slightly, nodding a little bit as she insisted on helping. He kept cleaning the plates and when he was sure they were clean he set them in the drying rack. He made sure to give her space so they had plenty of elbow room and personal space that surrounded them. No unneeded bumping would go on at this sink.
She watched him calmly as he answered her question but never broke his focus. That was great. She couldn't multitask to save her life, or at least when involved with horses she couldn't. Usually she had to focus all of her mind on Badra because of her random bursts of fear. It drove Hailey insane, but she loved the horse no less. She was willing to work with the mare as long as the mare was willing to work. "Wow, that's incredible..." her words were soft again, not requesting another comment to follow. Her eyes watched the movement of the horse for a moment as her eyes fell to her jeans. She brushed the wrinkle out of the very faded, form fitting blue jeans. "Have you ever taken her to any big shows?" tones were heard again, soft and nowhere near commanding an answer. |

She shrugged and started drying the plate carefully.

Her light blue eyes followed them as Joe galloped the horse toward the last jump. She toyed with the tips of her long blonde hair as she watched the two of them. That was amazing. Lips curled into a slight smile as she leaned against the gate still, her eyes wandering about the sight of the horse and rider for a moment before she let them wander about the arena. She was kind of bored now, for she didn't know what to do. She loved being around here, but didn't know if he needed anymore help or if he was done for a little while or what not. She kept her figure at the gate though, her eyes returning to him. "That will be cool. I bet she will do great." A small smile occupied her features.
He continued to wash the rest of the plates, finding that they had come into a silent moment. His eyes wandered about the dishes, checking for any remaining food crumbs before placing the late of the plates in the strainer. He started to work on the cups, cooking ware and silverware and was done in little time. He used the end of her dish towel, drying his hands but still gave her plenty to use. He swept the dish rag over the counter, cleaning it off before he pulled himself up on the edge of the counter. |

She took her time drying the dishes, cups and cookware. This was more of a comfortable silence then an awkward one, and she really didn't mind .
He nodded and smiled as he slowed the now calm filly. Hey, do you want to go for a walk, I need to cool Anime off anyways he said walking over to her. Of course that meant both of them riding Anime but that was fine because Anime was strong enough that she would hardly notice the extra 100 pounds on her back.

Jacoby's eyes wandered about the room for a moment before looking over to Nicole again. He was comfortable in this silence, but still tried to think of something to say.
Hailey's bright blue eyes watched as the smile crossed his face and he walked her over as the question left his lips. A smile pulled at the corners of her mouth, revealing the white teeth from behind the light pink lips. "Sure." she said as she looked at Joe and the horse who she now knew was called Anime. Hailey opened the gate that she had been standing behind and shut it again before making her way toward the two. She carefully mounted the horse and sat behind Joe and let her arms fall around him so she wouldn’t fall off. She was confident she wouldn't, but just in case. |

So...what do you want to do now? she said as she finiched off dring the dishes. There was so much to do, yet nothing at the same time.
Just to warn you, this horse is crazy! he said with a slight laugh. With a click of his tongue they were off. Anime walked with long confident strides till something spooked her. Joe was a good enough rider to keep her from doing something stupid so she just tensed up and hortened her stride slightly and trotted a few ssteps ahead.

"Dunno. I didn't really have anything planned, but Hailey insisted we come here and check this place out." he said with a small smile. His sister amused him so much sometimes. She was so happy and loveable, but she was a little shy. However, when it came to going out to places and being with horses she opened up greatly. Speaking of her, he didn't even know where she was right now. She wandered off, and he did as well. He knew she was fine though, she was good with animals and good with people, she just wasn't the first to go up and strike a conversation at times.
"Thanks for the warning." Hailey said with a smile and a soft laugh. Her arms stayed around Joe, and she looked around as the horse moved with long and very smooth, flowing strides. Hailey's eyes watched the ground as she could feel the horse tense when something spooked her. She tensed a little as well, and her arms tightened a bit around Joe, but he was a good rider and the horse didn't do much else. Her pace picked up to a trot for a few steps, and they continued to move smoothly. Hailey sheepishly loosened her grip on him, and stayed close, but not too close. A very small smile curled her lips up as she looked around, wondering where they were going, but no question left her lips. |

HE felt her grip tighten on his waist as soon as Ainme tensed. He smiled not complaining or anything. He was sure in time they would both be able to relaxe totaly. He gave Anime her head , which she took thankfully. SHe strechted her nose down to the ground and stayed that way.
Well then.........the cross course it is. Your horse can jump like 2 foot right? she said knowing that Picasso would love her if they did the cross course.

Hailey stayed close to Joe, glad that he was a good rider and wasn't bothered by her being so close to him. She liked being close, but probably would never actually admit that to him. she wasn't very open about such feeling, especially after just meeting him. She knew very little about him, and for all she knew, he could just be having an unusually good day and on normal days he could be an asshole.
"Yeah, with ease." Jacoby said, not meaning to sound as if he was bragging because for one, he wasn't in the smallest way and for two, two feet wasn't all that much if you thought about it. |

Ok good then you'll be able to clear the fences easy she said leading the way to the barn. I'll meet you in the big arena in 20 she said leaving him to tack and groom his horse to tack and groom her's.
Anime relaxed along the way to the field.

"Alright, I'll be there." the male said with a calm smile as his picked his things up from the tack room. He'd made a note to get a lock box for his things since he'd be keeping them in here now. Back home it had been a small stable which he and Hailey only had horses in and there'd been no need. He picked up his things and made his way to the barn where the anxious black stallion wandered about his stall. "Hey Lou, ready to go out and jump?" he asked as he eased his fingers around the halter that rested on the stallion's face.
The jet black creature walked out of the stall with his calm gait and searched Jacoby for treats as soon as the front half of his body was out. He lipped the male's untucked shirt and greedily brushed his nose against the pocket, knowing that's where they were kept.
"One." he spoke with a laugh as he dug his fingers in to pull out a medium sized cookie for the male. He held it out and it was taken before he could say 'here'. He lead the horse out and used the cross ties to keep him still. The creatures head bobbed happily as he cocked his back hoof.
Hailey's light blue eyes gazed at the sights around her, taking in the scenery with a pleasant smile showing on her features. Pink lips were stretched slightly with an upward curl as straight white teeth showed a little bit. She was calm, and her long blonde hair was pulled from the ponytail as they moved. She wrapped the band around her left wrist and ran her fingers through her hair, letting go of Joe for only a minute. The golden colored locks fell over her shoulders and billowed gently in the wind. Her arms wrapped back around his waist when she was done messing with her hair. |

Hey Picasso! she called for half way down the aisle. Picasso managed to stick his head out of the feeder flap and stare at her obviously prancing in his stall. She got to the stall and opened it leaving the stall totaly open. Stay she said as she found the rubber stall bar that she used to keep him in when she had to tack him up quickly. Once the bar was facened at each side Picasso nosed Nicole even as she got into her tack ox to get her brushes. He looked pretty clean , maybe a bit dusty , but then again she had rode him this morning and he allways had his blanket on over night to stop him from getting too dirty. A quick brush and she was done. SHe picked each of his hooves quickly but calmly to make sure they were clean. Within 10 minutes she was ready to go so she went to the warmup arena to warm up a bit.
Her blond hair tickled his neck slightly whenever a slight breeze blew. It kinda felt.....good. Acctualy, he hadn't felt this way in a while. He wouldn't say in love really but more truely happy, calm, relaxed and just haveing a nice friend with him .
