Abby loved on her horse. +if only she was mine...+ she sighed and wiped the sad look off her face, reminding herself that she atleast had thre time with Fly. Plenty of things could have happened to rip Fly from her. After thoroughly cooling her down, she dismounted the wide awake mare and walked her back to her stall, letting her rest before feeding time.

(cooking? XD)

Ryker let Serpant break to a trot, catching his breath back. Those tricks took muscle, and definitely bravery. More than he had. But, that WAS like the 1,485 time he had done those tricks... practicing over and over and over. He Dismounted soon after and walked Serpant out, bringing the stallion into the barn and cooling him off. He ignored anyone else that had awoken yet, taking the halter off the horse and bringing a fresh bucket of water. Afterwards he jogged to the cabin, but instead of going in he went past, onto a trail. Spending thirty minutes jogging a mile out, then back, Ryker paused as he saw a good branch. +I want to be back home... then I don't have to scrape up my hands doing this+ He thought with a wince, jumping u and grabbing onto the rough bark. He then proceeded to do some pull-ups, afterwards dropping onto the ground and doing some push-ups. It was all part of his daily routine- wake up early, ride, excersice, feed horse, feed himself.

Abby waited in the stall with Fly until her normal feeding time, feeding everyone and letting Fly Away out. The grooms came out and let the other horses after Fly was let out in her pasture. Abby sighed and watched her.

Ryker went to the barn again, his brow wet from sweat. He prepared Serpant's food and gave it to the stallion, who ate hungrily. He stood in the stall, watching his beautiful horse, and thinking how lucky he was to have Serpant.

Abby was walking down the aisle so many times. The last time, she decided to say hey again. "Hey Ryker. Hey Serpant."

(Toby Keith died yesterday. I'm in literal tears :( ]

Ryker slowly stroked Serpant's mane, lost in thought until he heard a slightly familiar voice. He turned to see Abby, immediately, almost instinctively lowering his head a little, his eyes downcast. ".. Hi." He answered quietly. The stallion looked up from his meal and nickered with his ears perked forward, walking forward to hang his head over the stall door and nuzzle Abby's pockets for treats.

Abby pet the stallion softly when her phone rang. "Sorry just a second." She stepped back a little but when she saw who it was she quickly walked outside, leaning against the barn wall. "Hello?" She asked into the phone. "I'm sorry but we need to move Fly Away to a different barn. We're moving and need to take her with us. Sorry for this disappointing news but it has to happen." Abby shrank to the ground in disbelief. "But-" she couldn't find the words. She immediately hung up and wiped her tears, standing up to go into Fly Aways stall.

Serpant nickered out to Abby as she pulled away, but he quickly got over it and started eating the grain again. Ryker looked a little concerned as Abby's expression just.. fell. Soon she was in tears as she went away to Fly's stall. +That can't be good+ He thought with a crease in his brow, worried. He had a feeling she didn't want him to go over there, however... so he really didn't know what to do.

Abby hugged Fly. She couldn't bear the thought of her leaving. She muffled her cries in the mares mane as she leaned her head around and seemed to hug her back. Fly pulled her head back to munch on a mouthful of hay. She was so innocent. She had no clue. Fly Away lifted her head at the stallion and nickered, begging for some pets from his owner. Abby went to the corner of the stall and shrank to the floor. She felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it. She had always wanted her own horse, and Fly was the closest she had ever gotten. She wiped her tears and stared at the beautiful horse through teary eyes. She couldn't bear the thought of letting her go.

Ryker made up his mind and tentatively walked over to the other stall, patting the mare before turning his gaze to Abby. "What's wrong? That phone call seemed like very bad news." He asked hesitantly, not sure if she'd want him to be speaking to her. Ryker absent-mindedly stroked Fly's neck as he waited.
