The trailer swayed, almost to the rhythm to the music inside the cab of truck she was listening to.Orbs puffed from crying about the song, she tuned it down and wiped the shining tears from her cheeks.Her memories backed away and returned to the depths of her mind.The song, Whiskey Lullaby was a sad one, but even worse for her.Sighing as she turned into the driveway to the new barn she was going to stay at, she looked around in interest at all the other girls and guys that were unloading horses and tack.She grimaced at some of the plain nylon tack as he thoughts went back to hers.Buying zebra printed tack with her barrel winnings, she had fitted out her mare in shine.Shaking her head, she pulled to a stop slowly and cranked the engine down, swinging the lead rope she got from the passenger seat.
Letting the truck door swing open with a creak, she slammed it shut, rust falling to the ground in flakes, mixing the cement with red.Whistling slightly, she smiled slightly at the snuffling she heard and saw the nose appear at the top of the opening at the trailer.Humming now, she creaked the door open and used her body to shove it the rest of the way.Before getting her brightly tainted mare out, she pulled a wheelbarrow out of the other side for her tack and set it to the side.Now she returned her interest in the mare and took the side panel off and went to her.Seeing she had untied herself once again, she clucked to her and stroked her thick boa.Clipping the rope to her white halter with the name 'Boot Skoot Boogie' monogrammed on the nose-band, she led her out gently and tied her to the trailer side.
Tying her securely, she returned to grab her new saddle from the top rack.Scowling a she saw it had slipped to the side in a bad manner.Sighing and shaking her head, she attempted to grab at it but failing, she was short and she knew it.Grimacing as she slipped and stumbled, she made a face at it and thought about a plan, while she waited, maybe someone would help her.Maybe? characters- Bellatrix and Skoot

Ashley had been busy with others so her sister who was four years older than Ashley waved her hand. "Ash don't worry about it, I have this one, finish what your doing and then you can come and see if you want." Aurburne spoke to her sister as she ran into the stable office and grabbed a rings binder and made sure all the paper work was there.
Aurburne now walked over to the girl and her horse with the light white clean halter. She already loved this horse, great markings and a great confirmation. She had been into horses younger but lost and intrest and started up after there mother died again to help Ashley out. Aurburne stopped a few feet away "Hello there miss, I am Aurburne Collins, I am part owner of Whispering Creek Stables, Ashley runs the full operation but as you can tell by now she is busy with other boarders." Aurburne gave a small smile as she waited for the girl to now speak.

Scowling once again, she realized there was step she had missed on the trailer she had now owned for the last two years.Smiling sheepishly, she jumped on the step and pulle dher saddle and blanket off the rack.Grunting in the most uncourteous way, she dropped the saddle in the wheebarrow and shook out the blanket with its white and black zebra stripe markings.Smoothing out the plucked wool hairs, she realized there was another girl standing before her.Listening silently, she walked over to Skoot while she talk on and on.Finally realizing this was one of the owners of the stables, she smiled bright and said,
This place looks awesome, can`t wait to see everyone.I`m Bellatrix Brookins, and this is my baby Boot Skoot Boogie, but of course you might have already seen that.
Laughing a bit, she pointed to her mares halter in explanation.Nodding to the rest of her vocals.Hearing herself be called miss startled her and mad eher think herself old and her mother.Shaking her head and putting a hand up, she said
Please don`t call me miss, I like to go by Bella.I talked about being a trainer here, was it you I talked to about training western?
thingying her head, she stroked Skoot with her fingers while she waited.Without her noticing, Skoot snaked her head around her and lipped at Aurburns shirts playfully in a spite of getting attention. |

Aurburne laughted as Scoot played with her shirt. She brought her hand up and rubbed the blaze marking upon the face of such a marvoulous creature. Hey there, trouble." Aurburne spoke as she ran her hand over the little chuncks of hair on the forlock and scratched it. She looked over to Bella and though for a bit. "Sorry for calling you miss, It's a pleasure to meet you Bella and you do have a great horse here, even though he liked playing with shirts." She gave a warm smile. "You probably talked to Ashley about the training, if she said yes that is fine, I can tell you she will probably want to see some of your work."
As soon as Aurburne finished talking another young girl, shorter by a few inches, same length hair but colored a dark brown was headed in the direction. She held her limp as her jeans where covered in duct and small flakes of hay as well as her hair. She pulled a strand from her face and looked to her sister and then to the arrival and then to Scoot. "You must be Bella Brookins, It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Ashley Collins owner of the stables, as you probably found out from my sister Aurburne."

She laughed at Skoot and waved the mares muzzle awya and said scolding her,
Your not a goat and don`t even try.
Still smiling, she kneaded her fist in small circles on Skoots neck as she listened attentively to the owner.Nodding every once in a while, Skoot`s crania bobbed as she reached a itchy spot.Chuckling agian, she patted her one last time and watched the other girl walk up.Reaching out and hearing her familar voice, she nodded eagerly and said,
Nice to meet you also.I can`t wait to start training, it seems like a wonderful place here, plenty of peace and quiet, well most of the time.
Smiling she watched as another trailer pulled up and someone got out a stallion.Narrowing her eyes at the stallions chian lead, she pointed it out to Ashley,
That horses chain is twisted and is pinching his muzzle, you might want to tell her thats why he`s acting like that.
Noding again, she said clapping her hands,
Well, I`ll see you later and whenever you want send a horse, or person to me and I`ll help them the best as I can. |

Ashley had nodded and the farmilar sound of the rocks moving up the driveway was heard as yet another trailer moved into the lot. Ashley bit her lip as she watched the stallion come out and Aurburne was already racing off toward the girl and stallion to tell them the lead was twisted, "Thanks Aurburne" Ashey called out as she returned her attention back to Bella. Ashley though for a little bit. "Get our horse settled in and I will bring you Ireland tacked up just for a warm around to see what you can do with him."

Watching Aurburne run off to talk to the girl, she watched the stallion hop and dance around.She shook her head as the lead was fixed and immediately snatched down in an attempt to keep the stallions attention fixed on her.Sighing, her orbs grew flinty, but she let them grow warm again as she turned back to Ashley.
Nodding, she patted Skoot`s neck and said,
Alright, just let me give her the afternoon feed she gets and put her tack, and of course her up and then I`ll need to know a little more about this 'Ireland'.
Smiling at her a sshe winked, she turned and grabebd the wheelbarrow theat contained all of her things.Untying the lead also, she lead the mare down the isle with the wheelbarrow, balancing them both carefully.Setting it down, she put Skoot in her stall and gae her half a scoop of feed and set her sadlde and everything in it`s rightful places.Turning bakc to her she clapped her hands and said,
Let`s go! |
