Taytum smoked from ear to ear shoving her hands forward a long Wish's neck and half seating her gallop. She urged her forward with her legs. "Come on girl!" She shouted over the wind. They edged up beside Apple and Charlie, pulling ahead by a nose. Wish's thoroughbred blood kicked and and she put on a burst of speed.

Charlie smiled and leaned forwards. Apple burst forward, she sprinted down the trail, almost reaching Taytum. She passed her for a moment, but Wish soon passed her again. Apple wasn't bred to run long distances. Charlie slowed the mare to a lope, nd continued down the trail after Taytum, Apple tossing her head, wanting to run more.

Taytum eased Wish down back to a canter glancing over her shoulder to see Charlie doing the same. Wish tossed her head indignantly and nickered, trying to pick up the pace again. Taytum patiently held her until she calmed down and finally broke to a trot.

She let Apple canter up to Taytum, then slowed her to a trot. They were nearing the end of the trail.

Charlie was slightly nervous to take Chase out with Brennan today. She had only rode Chase alone, with Taytum on Wish, or with Brennan on Apple. Brennans horse was a young gelding who was almost as spunky as Chase. She was worried that the horses would try and race.

Charlie had a worried look on her face, but smiled anyways, trying to hide it. She looked to her sister, "this was fun!"

"Yah, I really love the trails and the waterfall is always wonderful!" Taytum exclaimed, dismounting Wish back at the stable. She took a hold of Wish's reins and led her back into the stable where she took the bridle off, slid a halter over Wish's soft muzzle, and clipped her up to the crossties. After she had taken off Wish's saddle and gear she put Wish in the large open wash stall and gave her a nice refreshing bath after the trail.

"Yeah," Charlie dismounted and led Apple into he barn. She swapped the bridle for her halted and I saddled the mare. She brought the tack to the tack room and put it away, then led Apple to a wash stall and hosed her off. She let Apple stand there to dry and she walked to see if Brennan wad back.

Hey, I'm so sorry but I've been really busy lately and I just don't think that I'm going to be able to keep up with this roleplay. If you'd like, we can keep it going and I'll just post when I've got the time, but if you don't want to be waiting awhile on responses I totally get that and we can just end it here. Thanks so much for your understanding!

We can keep going if youd like, I dont mind waiting at all! Im okay with you posting when you can, as I do the same lol.

Okay! Thank you so much for your understanding, I really liked our RP and I'm glad we can keep going, I'll add my next post now since I have the time.

Taytum used a sweat scraper to flick the water of Wish's coat, allowing her to dry faster. Then she went into the tack room and grabbed a handful of apple favored treats for wish since she was great on the trails today. Taytum fed the treats to Wish and suddenly remembered about going to get ice cream with Darius after this. Her heartbeat sped up. When she felt a light tap on her shoulder she jumped and spun around quickly to find a timid barn hand standing right behind her. Sorry, said the younger, blonde haired boy. Taytum knew that he was one of the newer barn hands, and he always asked the riders to help him find stuff. She sighed, but kept herself from getting annoyed. Turns out he just needed to know where the extra bridles were so he could clean them. As she walked back towards Wish she was lost in thought about Darius. Suddenly she slammed into someone. Strong, steady hands gripped her upper arms, steadying her. She opened her eyes to find herself only inches away from Darius himself. He looked at her with his concerned blue eyes and she blushed, backing away a bit.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah sorry," she said brushing a bit of stray hair behind her ear. "I wasn't paying attention."

"No your fine," he said, "I put Wish out for you, are you ready to go get ice cream?"

"Thanks for doing that! And, yeah I'm ready." Taytum responded.
