|  Chloe Ashford was driving her 80 series Landcruiser towing her luxurious 3 horse angle load float towards moonlit creek stables. she was excited to arrive. excited for a fresh start. somewhere new. somewhere that wouldn't recognise her. and her old jumping career. somewhere that wouldn't bring up the accident or shadow. it still hurt to think about the stallion. the bright future that she could have had with the stud. if she had just seen it earlier. then maybe the fall wouldn't have happened. maybe shadow would still be alive. but now she had Jappeloup de Luz. and their dressage career. she pulled into the driveway of moonlit creek and drove to the stables. parking the float was easy, Chloe got out grabbing diablo's lead rope. she opened the float and lead the stallion out. diablo was happy to be out after the long drive and was prancing. he got super excited and popped in a little rear. Chloe led him around in circles while trying to figure out where to go from there. |

| Lillyanna walked into the stable went to the tack room grabbed a halter and a lead rope. She walked along until she reached a certain horse's stall. Gabriela a new horse that her dad had bought for her. She was a dressage horse but since it was only her third day at the stable she figured she would just bring her to the hayfields for a brief ride. She brought her to the cross ties and brushed her then saddled her up got her bridle and put it on the mare. She got up in the saddle and went to the hayfields and started trotting along. After a short ride when she was coming back to the stable she saw Gemma in a pasture with Bliss. Gabriela looked and whinnied at the other mare. And then Lillyanna brought Gabriela back to the barn unstacked her gave her a quick brushing and put her back in her stall . "Good job, girl." She said as she pet the mare and gave her a treat then went to the tackroom and put the halter leadrope and her tack and put it away. Then went outside to her car and went home she had a LOT of homework to do. But she put her horse first. |

| Walking down the grass lane, Gemma took the moment to soak in her surroundings. The slight breeze that caressed her skin, wooden fence planks set against the vivid green of the grassland, the blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds and the shining sun. She took a breath of fresh air appreciating not being stuck inside. She was playing hokey from a Work-From-Home day as she just couldn't stand staring at a computer monitor and dodging emails for another hour.
She grabbed the leather halter and cotton lead rope from the hook and slipped past the gate into the pasture. The grass was short with some sparse dirt spots. Her destination was the small group of horses swishing their tails napping in the sunshine. As Gemma walked closer, some of the mares lifted their heads to watch her come closer. The halter and lead rope in her grasp marking her intention. A sleepy buckskin flicked her ears towards the newcomer. "Hello Bliss. How are you darling?" Gemma said to the little mare.
Gemma brushed the mare's cheek in a friendly manner before sliding the halter over her dark muzzle. Walking to the mare's shoulder, she ran her hand over the golden coat taking in the breadth of her barrel. "Oh lady," Gemma said in a hushed tone. "How's the baby doing today?" Bliss was clearly carrying an almost-to-term foal in her swollen belly. |

| Nicole and sunny gallop down a field. They look towards a ocean and see a wave. |
|
| Imperedor is victorious prnaced around the field impatient and hungry for is breakfast |
|
| Randy saw what she was doing and slowed his horse down. "Didn't know you did bridle less." He said. He patted Gambler, the stout quarter already sweating. |
|
| Randy trolled his eyes, laughing and muttering "Just wait till I get that new filly." he spurred Gambler on, but the stocky quarter horse just barely caught up to Charlotte. The chestnut was a full two strides behind Kylie, but he was holding his pace. |
|
| He sighed and kept walking, before spurring Gambler into a full gallop |
|
| Yeah Iam fine just so upset that you cant do roping again |
|
| he stared off into the distance, an approaching open field in front of them. "I'd love to do roping with you again, if your up for it." He sighed. "but i need to get a new roping horse before then." He noticed her expression shift and looked up slightly. "you ok?" |
|
| He kept looking at her as she blushed, and smiling, he looked down slightly and fidgeted with his reins. Gambler tossed his head up and he stopped messing with the reins, patting the horse. "Would you ever do a show with me again?" He asked, uneasy. "I know last time was... well really bad, but those things happen one time out of a million." He sighed and looked at her, waiting. Gambler broke into a jog but Rand pulled him back into a walk. |
|
| He glanced at her as she sighed. Reining Gambler around, he pulled up alongside her and they slowly walked to the head of the trails, riding in silence. |
|
| He swiftly tacked Gambler up and led him out into the afternoon sun. |
|
| Randy turned his head and almost went to go help her but she managed. "Can I come?" He asked. He noticed her liming slightly and turned to her again, a worried expression on his face. |
