Abby laughed at his impulsive thought. "Good question!" She scarfed down the last bit of her food before putting the dish in the sink. "I'll get it later. And I'm coming with you!" She jumped up and grabbed Rykers hand as she ran down the hill to the barn. "Sun!" The mare bickered to her. What a lovely sight she was. She had slimmed down a bit and was starting to really lose that baby fat. The mare tossed her head

Ryker took her hand without thinking about the consequences then immediately got jerked down the hill. His upper body started flying down so his legs quickly went to catch up- he swore, if his legs were not attached to his body they would have flown off long ago. He managed to stay upright as he got dragged to the barn, then slowed to a stop as Abby did. +I'm alive!+ he thought before slowly making his way over to Serpant's pen, his legs slightly wobbly. He was NOT awake yet and he just went down that hill faster than he almost ever had before. Ryker stroked the stallion's nose as Serpant nickered and nudged him.

The dapple grey mare stuck her head over the fence. Abby grabbed her pink halter that was hanging on the fence. She buckled it onto the mare then led her out. "Let's get you tacked up pretty lady" she said as she led Sun to the crossties in the barn. She brushed her down until she was gleaming. Abby grabbed thhe tack from the tack room when she saw something in corner. She put the tack on Sun then made her way back into the room. She grabbed a bag of small elastic hair ties that had mysteriously ended up there. "Ooo!" She went back to Sun then grabbed her mane, doing a braid that ran all the way down the mares neck. She tied it off at the end then moved to her forehead. "You pretty girl!" She said as she brushed the mares forelock with her fingers. She put the bag up then untied a lead rope, uncoupling the other from the mares halter. She put Suns black bridle on. Abby's fingers ran across the pink brow band "you look so good in pink!" She walked her out then mounted Sun. "Good girl" she praised, patting her neck.

(Wow. You're good at writing about normal things and writing a lot xD)

Ryker took Serpant's hunter Green halter and clipped it on, leading the seal brown stallion out and towards the barn. He used the other set of crossties, snapping them onto the halter, then got to work. A good brushing first, then the hooves picked, then the nit picky things. He got every speck of dirt off the dark pelt, brushing the stallion until he shone. Ryker then untangled the mane and tail, concentrated. After both were free he stepped back and admired the hair for a second- Serpant had a thick, long mane and tail that looked quite stunning when the stallion decided to move nicely, and he had a long forelock that went all the way down to his nose. Ryker hauled the saddle out and threw it on, setting it down gently on the horse's back, then grabbing a western bridle. After everything was all clipped up, latched, and attached, he led Serpant out towards the arenas, where he had already decided to work on looking amazing in arena work. After warming up he swung onto the horse's back and started with a simple walk, asking for collection right away.

Oh. Whoops lol)

Abby walked Sun out toward the trails, stopping right before. She decided she wanted to trot her around the barrel pattern instead. Sun picked up a nice trot toward the small barrel pattern she had set up outside. Sun knew what was happening. There were two trees that marked the beginning of the timer. Abby walked the mare through it, although she was raring to go. Sun stepped into a small, bouncy, impatient trot, but Abby held her back. They walked around before Abby finally let her go. After a long warmup, she resided it was time for the barrels. A concentrated look came over her face as she studied the pattern, calculating the precise location of each turn. After she was done, she clicked to the mare, who, of course, jumped into a easy gallop. They sped to the first barrel, stopped, turned, then galloped faster to the next. Sun turned on her hindquarters then picked up and even FASTER gallop tot he last barrel, turning and speeding back to home

Ryker clicked his tongue, pushing Serpant into a nice jog, then lope. After a thorough warm up he did some reining stuff before stopping to watch Abby and Sun. They were awesome running around that course. With Frynn, even though she was fast, he would not keep up with Abby. Ryker smiled a little before turning Serpant and trotting down to the other side of the arena, then pushing him into a gallop. Near the middle of the arena they slid to an almost perfect stop, then he pressed his heel gently into the horse's right side and Serpant spun quickly to the right. "Perfect buddy." Ryker whispered, coming to a stop and patting Serpant's neck.

Abby pulled Sun to a stop although she could feel Sun fighting her. Abby decided she needed to get some of that energy off. Abby clicked to the mare and she practically shot out from under Abby. Thankfully, she held on to the horn. The two flew around a barrel like it was nothing. She kept the mare in a large circle, keeping her in check while not letting her advance to the next barrel. Sun collected while keeping the quick pace. Abby threw a hand in the air as the wind lifted her hair out behind her. Abby's face lifted into a bright smile. Eventually she just let Sun run wherever she wanted to. Her ears were forward, and Abby was convinced that if she was a dog her tongue would be hanging out!

Ryker had Serpant trot over to the gate, then he opened it and trotted over to the other arena. He watched Abby for a moment, grinning a little at Sun's expression. "Happy horse." He commented with a laugh. "I'm going to go out on the trails with Serpant. Want to come?" He asked cheerfully, tilting his head a little. At this point his goal was to relax and do nothing but ride horses and spend time with Abby for a few days, then he would start doing stuff again.

Abby have a vigorous nod as she trotted her horse to the gate. She reached down, unlatched it, then pushed it open. "Yep! I'm coming!" She walked Sun toward him

Ryker waited for her to get out before nudging Serpant's sides, cuing the stallion to set out at a slow, comfortable walk. He breathed in, content, as he looked at the trees that slowly grew thicker as they entered the forest. "Im preeetty sure it can't get more perfect." He murmured quietly, glancing at Abby with a smile.
