{~} Shorty walks to the barn where he had his horse and sighed as he grabs the halter off the halter hook that puts it on Smoke and said " a new place to work boy just go hire for a cow rangling fun" smoke nickers and waits before they walks out and to a '20 ram truck with a one stall trailer that was behind the truck Shorty walks up into the trailer with Smoke and ties him up before walking out to get his saddle and bridle before getting grain and walks back to the trailer and puts the saddle down and walks into the trail pours the grain into the feed bowl and then puts his tack in the back of the truck {~}

{~} After Parker mixed the grain, she brought it to the horses she had to feed. She poured it into the feed into the feed bins in the stalls. After she grained the horses, she brought the buckets back to the feed room. She went into the tack room and grabbed her brushes. Eclipse had finished her grain. Parker set the brushes down outside Apocalypse's stall and grabbed her halter, she entered the stall and haltered the mare. There was a Cross-Tie Stall next to Eclipse's. Parker led the mare from her stall and tied her in the cross tie stall. She brushed the mare while waiting for the other horses to finish their grain {~}

{~}Shorty looks at the place before getting into the truck and drives off to the end before putting in the directions to the place he was like 60 miles away and didn't mind driving to the area. Shorty started out and listens to the music and made sure the trailer didn't bump to much that way Smoke isn't hurting himself and enjoying the ride Shorty makes sure to stop at the red lights and stop sign before yawning and saying " i might need to stay there in the guest house if they have one right "{~}

{~} The horses had finished their grain, so Parker put Apocalypse back, and then led the horses she was responsible for caring for to the horse exerciser thing(round pen with stall things, and moves automatically). She put the horses in the exerciser, and set a timer for 1 hour and 10 minutes(10minutes walking, 10minutes trotting, 5minutes loping/cantering, repeat with 10minutes walking at the end). After she did that, she walked back to the barn. She started on mucking out the stalls. There was one, pissy, stallion that she HAD to ride today, so she planed on doing that, after she did all the other chores {~}

{~} it took about an hour to muck all the stalls. After the stalls where mucked, Parker went to the exercise ring, she watched the last 5 minutes as the horses walked around. When the time was up, she led the horses, one by one, back to their clean stalls. She brushed each horse. After she finished her chores, she walked over to the stall of Tremors, a 17hh, jet black, Thoroughbred Stallion with no markings, who was a pissy asshole. She grabbed his halter, and stepped into his stall. As she put the halter on, Tremors whinnied loudly and tried to bite Parker. Parker scolded him and smacked him on the nose. {~} * No, Tremors! Bad Boy. * {~} She led the stallion out of his stall and led him to the Cross Tie stall. She tied Tremors. He pranced in place and pinned his ears. She brushed him, then saddled him, with a All Around Western Saddle. As she was doing the cinch, she squealed and snapped at her, but didn't bite her. After she put the saddle on, she took off his halter and put the bridle on him. Tremors whinnied loudly, and pranced at the end of the reins as Parker led him to the indoor arena. There, she mounted up. Tremors planted his feet, refusing to move. Parker nudged him with her spurs. The stallion jumped forwards, and started to trot. Parker slowed him to a walk, and walked him for 5 minutes. She then asked him for a trot. So far, he was behaving. She continued to warm him up. After the warm up, she grabbed a lariat(lasso). She nudged Tremors into a lope. The moody stallion squealed and bucked. Parker pulled up his head quickly. *No!* she told him. She made him lope, keeping his head up so he couldn't buck. She swung the lasso around, making sure the unpredictable stallion wouldn't spook. After doing that, she practiced roping, on a dummy. Tremors was finally listening to her. {~}

{~} Parker was finishing cooling Tremors out when she heard someone's voice. She hopped off Tremors and led him out of the arena. She looked around and saw someone she hadn't seen before {~} * You lookin' for someone? * {~} She asked, with a southern accent {~}

{~} She looked at him before shaking his hand {~} * I'm Parker. The boss is in his office. Why don't you get your horse out the trailer first. He doesn't seem to like it in there * {~} She said peering towards the trailer. She looked up at Tremors {~} * Good Boy * {~} She pat the stallions neck, as he was standing still, like a good boy {~}
