Jaden came back a few hours later, numerous stacks of hay and alfalfa on the back of his truck. He parked and put on some work gloves before going to the back of the vehicle and grabbing one bale in his right hand before slinging the other bale on his left shoulder as he walked in. The sun beamed through the cracks of the barn, illuminating him slightly from the background as he set down the bales outside Cash's stall, eyeing a woman and horse. He wiped his hands and combed through his hair to get the flakes off, chuckling quietly at the woman who looked just as confused as he was before unloading the rest of the bales and dragging them to the feed room before making his gelding's dinner, which was mostly hay with a smidge of pellets. Once Cash was done eating, Jaden sprayed the feed pan with water before stacking it once more and heading back to the ranch, for real this time.
Lia groaned as she picked herself up from the ground. She checked to make sure she still had all her limbs, then went to find Ari. Eventually she found her mare, who was reaching through the rail of another horse's stall, chomping on the hay that was on the ground. The horse who's stall it was just looked on, quietly interested and seemingly amused. Lia, grumbling, grabbed the dangling lead rope and dragged Ari away from the hay and back to the trailer. Lia grabbed her tack trunk and rolled it with her left hand while leading Ari with her right. They made it to the stable and Lia looked around for someone who could tell her what to do. No one was in sight.
(aight) Jaden Ortiz led his chestnut manchado Thoroughbred gelding into the new barn, Moonlit Creek or, something like that. Anyways, the geldings name was RFS Four Slugs From A .44 but went by 'Cash' and was a rodeo horse. He did barrels and poles, currently being trained to be a roper as Jaden was picking up the sport. Cash had on a black leather halter with a gold chain, his name engraved on the sides. He was seven, and had only recently been gelded a year ago. Jaden led the gelding in, the Arizona sun beating down on them as his spurs clinked softly with each step the man took. After a minute or two of walking, they made it into the stallion and gelding barn, walking to Cash's stall and unhaltering him inside before hanging the halter just outside the door. Jaden rubbed the gelding's nose affectionately and chuckled lightly, walking back to his small trailer before hauling in both of his saddles, his bag of saddle pads, his sport and bell boot bag (filled with a variety of patterns and colors), and his three bridles, all either in speed bits, working bits, or light bits. After settling everything into the tack room, Jaden walked back to the trailer and slung two bags of feed over one shoulder, carrying a bucket filled with more supplements in his other. After wiping his hands he hung his rope on the gelding's stall, haltering him and walking him to the cross-ties and starting to groom. Once the gelding was almost spotless and tacked up, Jaden bridled him and mounted, letting him walk loosely as he neck-reined the horse to the arena. He set up the barrel pattern, dragging each one out before remounting and warming up at a walk, trot, lope, and extended lope before working his way up the gaits on the barrel pattern. Starting at a walk, then trotting, the loping, then doing a easy gallop around, sitting each turn expertly before cooling him out slightly to catch some air.
Jaden made a nice shoot out of the remaining poles and barrels, Cash's eyes going wide as he lifted his head up, prancing as Jaden held him back before loosening the rein and kicking him in, sitting and saving the first barrel before doing a lead change around the first, riding on the left lead to the second and sitting it as well, using his reins and legs as he smooched him onto the third, going a bit wide before kicking the horse home and easily stopping him with a simple 'woah' from when he was a ranching horse. Jaden fell forward slightly, but caught himself as the gelding stopped, giving him a nice pat on the neck as he dragged the poles back to their position before cooling Cash out and ground tying him for a moment as he cleared the arena. The man then hand walked the horse to the cross - ties once more, untacking quickly before spraying the manchado off and walking him back to his stall. He then hoisted his saddle back onto it's rack and hung his bridle beside it, air drying his sport boots before walking to head back to unhitch the trailer before getting into his white feed truck, hay scattered on the bed of it as he started it and set his black Stetson felt hat on the dashboard before heading to drive back home to the ranch.
(RFS I can do a little with you!) Lia opened the truck door before the vehicle stopped. "Lia!" her uncle cried, exasperated. Lia ignored him. They were finally here! Lia bounded to the back of the horse trailer that was hitched to her uncle's blue truck and swung open the door. Lia's grey mare, Ari, turned her head away from the hay bag and towards her owner, a few strands of hay sticking out of her mouth. "Silly girl!" Lia cooed, untying Ari's lead rope and asking her to back out of the trailer. Ari snorted and took a tentative step back before practically trotting backwards out of the trailer, knocking Lia to the ground. The lead rope came out of Lia's hand and Ari sniffed the air, then trotted off towards the closest horse she could find.
Nadine W. | Sterling (Grey 8 G WB) Dressage Arena Leaning over in the saddle, Nadine tapped Sterling's right shoulder. He turned his head and reached toward her with his lips to get the treat she was offering. "Good job buddy!" She praised the gelding. They had finished the warmup phase of the session and were ready to work on some training exercises.
Picking up the reins, Nadine cued Sterling into a working trot and headed along the long side of the arena until she crossed around to the quarter line. The idea of the exercise was to work on lateral moves between the long side and the quarter line. She cued Sterling to push his hindquarters over while traveling forward. His instinct was to shrug his shoulders over instead and fall into his forehand heading towards the rail. Nadine had to work patiently with herself and the gelding beneath her as their partnership was tested. A half halt stepped the gelding's forward momentum for a moment, allowing Nadine to recenter him and cue his hind end over. Once they met the rail by "B", she readjusted her position to allow for the leg yield towards the centerline. It took a few times for the pair to get the rhythm and timing to perfect the exercise in both directions. For an added challenge, Nadine cued the grey warmblood into a working canter and headed down the centerline. They made it a few steps in but weren't able to maintain the gait and lateral movement for success. Nadine stopped the gelding and reached down for a huge pet. "It's okay bud, we can try again in a bit." She chuckled to herself and gave Sterling a cookie for his effort.
sup) Jaden led his prestigious dressage stallion,whom he didn't show often since he was a stallion,into the dressage arena.The stallion's name was Aztec,a golden bay dutch warmblood cross.The pair stopped and halted,the move becoming instinct to Jaden now as he spurred the horse into a piaffe,passage,and then extending out to a trot as each rhythm matched the horses beat.
(can I join?) Amy walked towards the barn and grabbed a halter and lead rope. She walked to her horse, Spellsong, but she called him 'Spell'. "Hi boy" she grabbed the halter and swiftly put it on him and gave him a treat. Then, she put the lead rope and led him out to the round pen and had him around for a brief moment before grabbing the lunge whip. I started driving her around, I closed it around and then made her go the oppisite way. Finally she got tired and I turned and she walked up and I pet her and slid the halter on and gave her a treat. I led her into the paddock for a few hours
Nadine Winchester | Sterling (8 G WB) Walking out from the cross ties, horse and rider headed to the arena. Sterling was tacked up in a dark blue saddle pad with a black dressage saddle with a black anatomical bridle. Nadine had on black fullseat breeches, a grey long sleeve and dark blue vest. Nadine stopped Sterling by the mounting block. She checked the girth and tightened it a hole before stepping to the front and stretching Sterling's front legs. Once finished, she let down her stirrups and brought the grey horse over to the mounting block and stepped into the saddle. Nadine picked up the reins and clucked to cue the gelding forward. They warmed up at a walk around the ring before stepping up to the trot. Nadine worked on getting Sterling to stretch and lengthen his topline through circles. Once she felt him loosen and productive at the trot, Nadine cued Sterling into the working canter.
Jaden laughed at Caleb's comment,twidling his helmet in his hand. "Oh it was whatever,went and got second in the Belmont Stakes so that's something." He starts,getting interrupted by Loki. "Bred that dude and uh,his foal will be here soon."
Jaden laughed,walking up to him and putting a hand on his shoulder,looking up and smiling.He put on a fake Aussie accent,after pushing Whiskey away from biting him. "Mate,knew I couldn't."
Caleb heard jadens comment and chuckled you cant get rid of me that easy mate he said with a smile. Plus hed just been in the Olympics. Nothing special. He patted whiskeys head. The stallion happy to see him after so long.
Jaden walked into the barn on Loki,the stallion soaked in sweat as Jaden dismounted.He looked down the hall and blinked a few times,trying to realize what was going on.He sighed,shaking his head and starting to untack the bay manchado stallion.Jaden put the horse into his stall and went back down the hall,beaming. "Caleb?Is that you?I thought you like,died or something"
Caleb had been MIA for a while but thats because he had been busy competing in the Olympics. Hes been gone for months and wanted to surprise jaden when he returned. He drove back in and put bolt back into the pasture with whiskey. He put all his tack away and went to his cabin putting all his stuff away. While overseas someone gave his a weird palomino paint warmblood cross mustang mare. Caleb had her in a round pen and wondered when jaden would notice. Caleb grabbed a peice of toast and put butter on it before going down to the stables to see whiskey. He hadnt seen that stallion in months.
"If you go in,take a left,walk down four stalls,their should be a open feed room.Inside is all the tack holders,stall numbers,and bucket numbers.Good to have another rider'." He says,picking Ivy into a trot before letting her run as they were on the track,stopping once they reached the gates.Jaden set it,waiting for the gates to fly open.When they did,Jaden urged Ivy on.The mare took off,thundering down the dirt track.
Ally untied Scar, walking him around to stretch his legs. She looked up at the rider, her gelding extending his head toward the mare. "Yes, I am" She flashes a nervous smile, patting Scar's neck and shortening the lead rope. Scar snorted, getting Dandelion's attention. The dappled mare tossed her head from her spot tied to the trailer
(srry angel got bored of that part lol) Jaden walked along the path,a leather head collar dangling from his hand.He walked up to the gate,looking for Ivy.Once he spotted her,he entered the pasture and went to go catch her.After a while,(and I been A WHILE)of fighting the mare to put on the halter,Jaden led her out and saw a new trailer pull up. "G'day." He welcomed,leading the grullo splash white mare inside.Jaden tied her in one of the grooming areas,going to grab his tack and such.He started with the curry,going in with the hard and soft brushes after.He picked her hooves before grabbing her tack and putting it on.A navy saddle pad,black racing saddle,white boots,navy blinders,and a black bridle with a shadow roll on the noseband.Jaden grabbed the reins,walking out of the barn after he had mounted and grabbed his crop.He pulled up short when he saw the new person again. "Hello,are you looking for your horses stalls or am I just crazy and have never seen you before?" He asks,Ivy pawing at the ground.
(Looks like the rp died, so I'm here to bring it back!) - Ally pulled up to the barn in her new beat-up Ford, a strikingly pristine four-horse trailer following behind. Ally hops out, her red hair swishing in her ponytail. Her green eyes take in the gorgeous barns. "Wow" she mumbles as she walks toward the back of the trailer. "Hey babes" she says, unlocking the door and easing the ramp down as the trailer opens up to reveal her four gorgeous horses. "Easy Scar" she coos as she expertly unties the black gelding and leads him down the ramp, tying him to the side of the trailer. Faye lifts her head, her eyes wide as Ally leads her to the other side of the trailer, the mare taking in her new surroundings. She flicks her dark grullo coat, her patches of deep chestnut twitching slightly. Groovy snorts, pawing impatiently as he waits, moving out of the trailer quickly, his amber cream coat shining in the sun. Last but not least, Dandelion watches Ally, nuzzling her owner for treats while she backs up, following Ally to Faye's side and nipping at her dapple grey coat. Ally looks around for someone who could help her stable her horses
Caleb trotted bolt out. He went to the judge told him and bolts name and started. The first jump was tricky but bolt cleared it easy. The rest were fine till the triple the first jump was jumped a little deep the second over jumped and the third over jumped. They were up to the pats fence and jumped it perfectly. The crowd went wild
Warm Dry Winds
Jaden came back a few hours later, numerous stacks of hay and alfalfa on the back of his truck. He parked and put on some work gloves before going to the back of the vehicle and grabbing one bale in his right hand before slinging the other bale on his left shoulder as he walked in. The sun beamed through the cracks of the barn, illuminating him slightly from the background as he set down the bales outside Cash's stall, eyeing a woman and horse. He wiped his hands and combed through his hair to get the flakes off, chuckling quietly at the woman who looked just as confused as he was before unloading the rest of the bales and dragging them to the feed room before making his gelding's dinner, which was mostly hay with a smidge of pellets. Once Cash was done eating, Jaden sprayed the feed pan with water before stacking it once more and heading back to the ranch, for real this time.
