Soft Beat (open)

[Rosabella Angel Lewis]

The soft sound of hooves came from the entry way of the stables, only to pause with the sound of a slight scrape of hooves against the floor, and then a sigh. The scene in the entry way of the stables was a thin, small, girl with a thin arms and her hands wrapped around a lead rope which was attatched to the brown Arabian's hunter green with burgendy trim.

The blonde was quiet as she soothed the gelding with her hands and soft murmurrings until the gelding began to follow her again. She smiled a little and went back to leading the gelding down the row before gently leading him into his stall that she had made up before even going to get her gelding.

With a warm smile, she led him into the stall and unclipped his lead rope from his halter. She smiled and ran her hands through his mane, along his neck, before she exited. Watching him, she took in his travel wraps and the fact she had kept his light blanket over him.

The hunter green blanket with the burgendy trim and his name written in burgendy, or his show name anyway. 'Grand Ole' Timekeeper' in beautiful print and in all capital letters.

She pat his neck warmly as he pushed his nose against her shoulder; her left one with the bad scar, which no one could see since she was wearing something that covered her shoulder, though she hissed lightly at the contact, making the gelding start.

It was just one of those weeks. Meeting new people, Losing family, and all she felt like doing was crawling in a corner. She knew that would not work though, Riddick would go crazy without contact for a day. Ashley just sighed as she got out of the truck, shutting the door behind her.

It was the first day without tears, it made her in a better mood. If Jacob hadn't help, she most likely would not be even close to how she is now. Loosing parents is a hard thing, she never thought she would have to go through it, but she was wrong. She was lucky she had Riddick, and Jacob wasn't that bad. Jacob was the only one that knew, well riddick too but he couldn't talk. Ashley just ran her hands through her hair and continued into the stable, wanting to see Riddick's adorable face.

As she entered the barn she noticed a young girl and a new horse. Wow, more new people! Ashley loved how much this place was growing. When she first came, there was not very many people. Ashley smiled and waved at the new girl. She looked kinda young, must have been a freshman or sophomore. Her horse was pretty too, Arabian from what Ashely could tell. Don't get her wrong, she thought Arabs where pretty, but she would never own one.

She walked down a couple stalls to where a buckskin Lusitano stallion stood, head hanging out of his stall. This was the reason she kept her life together. "Hey boy." She took her hand and rubbed his forehead. Riddick let out a little nicker, then lifted his nose up, stretching his upper lip showing his teeth. Ashley just laughed and patted him on the neck.She then looked back at the girl, curiosity got the best of her. "Hey there. Im Ashley. You must be new?" Ashley had a very friendly, welcoming tone. She was always the nice person people loved to hang with.

Rosabella groaned softly as she tried to get the kink that came from that scar. She sighed quietly and rubbed her shoulder gently before pushing her gelding’s head to the other shoulder. “If you must bump my shoulder, bump that one please,” she mock scolded before scratching where a star mark would be, if he had a star marking.

His only markings were his socks and his one ermine. She smiled a little and kissed the gelding’s nose softly before focusing on the girl. Well, young woman most likely. Rosabella eyed her and nodded slowly. “Rosabella Lewis. And yes, I am new,” she responded, before gently rubbing the gelding’s cheek with her right hand while he put his head over her right shoulder.

Her left shoulder was off-limits. For right now, anyway. It had been bugging her recently and after the accident, was not the same as before the accident. A jumping accident in where a horse was badly injured, with the rider. She let out a soft sigh and gently nuzzled her horse’s cheek with her own cheek. She smiled a little more and Tim snorted quietly against her cheek. “Easy there boy. Say hi to the new people and horses,” she murmured to the gelding and he lifted his head slightly to whinny, loudly, at the young woman who had introduced herself.

The girl pat her gelding’s neck and leaned warmly into his neck, wrapping her arm loosely around his neck before slowly releasing him. “I’ll look into everything around you in a moment Tim, but once you settle. You’ll be a pain if I try to take it off right now,” she stated, before ducking away from her gelding.

Rosabella the focused on her with serious eyes and gave a one shouldered shrug. With a slight shake of her head, she ducked back into the stall, pulling the light blanket off quickly, before folding it over her arm.
