Hello Ladies and Gents (Open)

[Skyler Carson]

Skyler Carson

Skyler moved silently to the barn. She was taking Angel out for a ride today. The sun was just peeking over the horizon so it was still a bit chilly, but she preferred to ride during the early hours. Dressed in ripped up jeans and a yellow tank top Sky made her way into the darkness of the stable. It smelled of hay and horses which was a scent she adored. She eyes focused in the darkness as she looked for her horse Angel. It wasn't hard to spot the white mare in all of the black.

"Hey girl." Skyler whispered as she approached the equine.

Sky gently stroked the horse's soft muzzle. She entered the stall and began putting on Angel's bridle and saddle. Her hands moved quickly from years of experience. She remembered back when her mother first taught her how to saddle a horse. It took her forever to get it right. She led the horse out into the open. With ease she pulled herself onto the saddle. It was then she thought she saw something or perhaps someone. It would be good for her to make new friends anyways since she was the new kid.

The girl with the light blonde hair had left her dorm shortly after Skyler had, though she had no reason to know that, and slowly began to walk down to the barn. She was quick, her movements studious, and she shifted her helmet more under her arm, as well as watching the girl that had beat her to the stable.

She was quick to duck into the stables, heading toward where her gelding was situated and she smiled, rubbing his nose warmly before leading him out, keeping a hold of the prancing gelding, she smiled more at the gelding. "Easy there boy. Come along," she murmured softly and cross-tied him quickly before tacking him up.

The saddle was on, followed by the bridle with the rubber Dee Snaffle bit, mostly because the gelding had a sensitive mouth, and she pulled the girth partially tight under the Arabian, before leading him forward, snapping her helmet on to her head.

With a quiet brush through his mane, she quickly tightened it to the correct hole and with a victorious grin, put the stirrups down, reins over the head and up. She was careful and she gently nudged the gelding's sides, motioning him up to a walk when she saw the other girl.

She paused when she saw the girl and nodded in a quiet greeting, blue-gray eyes sizing up the competition, before shrugging a little. "Nice day for a ride," she murmured softly, before gently giving a tug on his reins to keep him still, even as he shifted under her and tossed his head a little.

It was a young girl who emerged from the path. Skyler had never seen this girl before. She had heard talk around the school of another new freshman kid moving into the area so this had to be her.

"Isn't it?This morning is just perfect for riding. " Skyler replied, smiling sweetly at the young girl. "I'm Skyler. Skyler Carson. Whats your name?"

The sun had risen even more. It cast a pink and yellow glow about the place making it seem magical. She could tell Angel was getting anxious, but they had all morning to ride. Sky gently patted the horse's soft hide, assuring her that the would leave soon. The mare snorted and softly stomped her hoof on the ground. Angle reminded her of a little six year old some times. She was impatient and threw a bit of a fit when she didn't get her way, but her name said it all. She was such a cute little angel.

Rosabella nodded for a moment and responded, with a controlled voice, “Rosabella Lewis.”

Her introduction was polite, quiet, and controlled. She held her gelding in check as he began to side-step a little. She was gentle and tried to keep Tim quiet, though she eventually got him to stand still. The gelding snorted and she let him have his head, the gelding shaking his head a little before standing calmly.

The gelding snorted as the light began to crawl across the sky, casting the world in a myriad of colors that seemed to just grow. The pink and orange seemed to grow deeper for a moment and Rosabella shrugged slightly before gently pulling the gelding to the side. “We are burning daylight, if you don’t mind the company,” she murmured softly and gently pressed her heels against the Arabian’s sides to have him begin walking toward the trail.

The gelding tossed his head slightly, but she did not comply into letting him go any faster until he was calm and seemed to settle on this slow pace. After a few minutes, she brought Tim up to a trot, something he was more then happy to fulfill her request. His Arabian trade-mark tail only had a slight flare to it, but she was proud of his grace. “Good boy,” she praised softly.
