Nirvana looked up from her book, as she sat against Raylon's hat box, as she heard Dead Ringer banging around from inside the trailer. Next to her Frank was in his travel Hutch, and War was laying in the bed of the cattle truck.

The start of the morning was hell, between getting the hogs, and cattle into their right pens in the right barns, and Tommy. She didn't know what to do, she forgot how much the fair took out of her. And being pregnant didn't help much, but thankfully she wasn't showing yet. But she still secretly wished she was competing today, and the next few days.

Nirvana slowly got up from her spot, laying her book down, and walking up to the open head space for Ringer. "Hey buddy."She cooed softly sticking her hand inside to rub at his head. "I'll get you out after all the trucks get finished parking. I promise." She rubbed a spot over and over again between his eyes. Ringer was only a yearling, a very tall yearling. Nirvana brought him along for some training, and to get used to the showing life style. Since he was her next pleasure horse.

The young couple didn't have money to rent a fancy stable out, only enough to get their cattle into pens before auction time. So they was camping out in the parking lot, just like old times. Raylon was out in the ring, warming up, and getting Pinball ready for showing.

Once all of the truck seemed to be slowing down, Nirvana opened up the back of the trailer door, almost getting kicked as she did so. "Hey buddy."She growled, the two having a hate/love relationship. She walked into the trailer, pulling his blanket off, as well as getting a fly mask over his face. Slowly she backed the pure black, with a slight white flick on his rump, stallion out of the trailer. Bobbing his head around once it was free. His face was purely white, showing that he was a true splash faced. She slowly went to tie the curved ear horse against the ties on the trailer. "There you happy now?"She asked as he would snort at her, and look away.

Izzy groaned as Astrid threw yet another temper tantrum. "Come on, Astrid," Izzy said, stroking the 3 month old filly's neck to calm her down. "There's no reason to be acting up like this, you silly girl." Zafira, Astrid's mother, stood about 3 yards away watching in bemusement at the filly's tantrum. Izzy sighed in relief as the filly stepped toward her. "Thank you," she said.

Raelyn watched while holding both adult Arabian horses. Compass, her horse, whinnied to a pretty mare a little ways away. The stallion pawed the earth and nudged Ray with his muzzle as if to say, "Come on, let me go get her!" Ray shook her head in amusement as her best friend led the temperamental Arabian filly towards her.

"Okay, let's go warm them up," Izzy said, gesturing with her head to the sandy practice arena. A Native American man was using it at the moment, but Izzy could wait. The two girls led the horses over to the arena and watched the man as he warmed up his own equine.

[Nirvana Stout]

Raylon would click his tongue, and whistle slightly, as his hands pulled on the reins. Pinball Wizard would quickly turn, and spin on a dime, giving Raylon no fuss. Once he finished with his spin, Raylon made a hard gallop along the arena fence, before slowly pulling him back into a walk. "Good boy."He grinned patting the paint's neck. Tommy was breathing a little heavy, and worked up a nice sweat, but he loved doing what he does. Raylon walked him around the arena, slowly cooling the horse off, letting him wind down slowly.

Raylon rode Tommy over to the gate, bending down to pull the gate open, before stepping out of it. He then slipped down out of the saddle, going to pull Tommy's head up by his chin. "For a deaf, and half blind animal. Your the best horse out there buddy." He chuckled, knowing the horse couldn't hear him. Raylon rubbed him between the eyes, before pulling him over to stand along the fence line. "Lets check out some of our competition huh?" Tommy just snorted, and stood next to Raylon.

[Isabella Rose]

Ray gracefully swung up on Compass, tipping her helmet to the Native American and his horse. She walked Compass into the arena and warmed him up. After he was limbered, Compass was urged into a smooth, even trot. Ray leaned back her head and grinned as Compass picked up his pace and cantered around the arena.

Izzy had Zafira stand squarely and lift her head. Little copycat Astrid attempted the same, holding her head high. Izzy grinned at the filly. She'd make a great halter prospect some day...

[Nirvana Stout]

Raylon nodded to the girl as he would pull his own hat off. The sweat poured out from his head, having dread locks sucked sometimes. Tommy would rub his nose against Raylon's shoulder, before looking at the other horses in the arena. He would nicker and bob his head around, being a friendly stallion. Half of the time Pinball Wizard acted like a gelding more then he did stallion, even though he was a stud.

"Sorry bud. But I doubt them pure-bloods wanna have a talk with you."He chuckled a little bit, thinking about how Dead Ringer acted around Tommy. He gave him a pat, before started to walk away, Tommy slowly followed behind him, no reins needed for leading.

Raylon walked back to the trailer, smiling at Nirvana and Ringer. "Being a grump already?"He asked as he slowly unsaddled Tommy. Nirvanna nodded a little, "Very grumpy. I don't know if he likes all this stuff."She said looking around the parking area. "Maybe he isn't a show horse like I want him to be." She patted Ringer's belly, before going over to pick up Tommy's right front leg. "Wow. It doesn't seem to be bugging him at all." She lightly ran her finger over the slight crack in his hoof. "Just don't over work him."

[Nirvana Stout]

((Anyone still wanna roleplay?))

[Shiann Crowe]

[[I'll join, though I hope you don't mind if I roleplay myself in rather than filling out the form? ]]

Shiann made sure all the tack was tight on Fire Hazard before pulling herself on. She grunted, annoyed at the fact that she was short and the Akhal-Teke was tall, but got settled and tossed her black hair over her shoulder. The big red horse snorted and stood up on his back feet a little, fighting the bit, but it wasn't any big deal, Shiann had delt with it all before and he would settle in a second anyway.
And he would have, had her new hand, Lenora, ran out from behind the truck at her. "Ohmygosh Shiann you have GOT to see this Draft horse he's HUGE!!" She half yelled, excited at her first show. Being from Bridgeport, she'd never seen such horses. Before meeting Shiann, she'd never seen ANY horses. So to an extent, she had a free pass when it came to messing up with the horses.
However, Fire Hazard didn't see things that way.
He really reared, then threw up his back feet and Shiann came off easily.
She hit the ground with a grunt just in time to see her big sorrel stallion, in all his Traditional Akhal-Teke garb, take off like a rocket. She groaned and rolled over as Lenora tried to apologize. "Go!" She said, pointing toward the horse and spitting out dirt. Lenora ran toward the galloping stallion as Shiann checked for cracked ribs.

[Nirvana Stout]

Nirvana slowly untied the Marwari stallion from his spot, likely tugging to get him to walk with her. Dead Ringer didn't even move a muscle. He gave her a look, before yanking the lead from her, and turning his ass into her face. "Yeah thats right. Your a BIG pain in the ass!"She growled a little bit, before walking over to pick his lead again. Raylon just sat back chuckling as he patted War on the head. "Yeah keep laughing."She gave him a look as she grabbed the lead, and pulled Ringer along, who slowly started to follow, until she got out into the middle of the aisle. "Come on! I just wanna work you out a little."She whined at the yearling, trying to pull him out. She didn't even see the big Teke running her way, to busy trying to get Ringer to follow her to the round pen. But Ringer did, the young colt ran infront of her, rearing up to stop the Teke dead in his tracks. If he wouldn't he would run into Ringer, before trampling Nirvana.

[Shiann Crowe]

Fire Hazard saw them as well, but narrowly avoided them and then turned around, and laid his ears back against his neck at the rearing yearling, interpreting the rear as a challenge.
Lenora ran by, blonde-red ponytail almost coming loose and bouncing against her back, yelling, "I'm sorry! Sorry!" and finally grabbed the stallion's rein, popping it sharply against his neck and yanking the bit down, harshly humbling him. She looked fearfully toward the woman who'd almost just been run over because of Lenora's mistake, then past her to Shiann, who was limping over to them. "Sorry!" She repeated yet again, tears slowly starting to spring to her eyes.
"Oh shut up, Lenora, you make me feel old when you pull that acting-like-a-teenager crap." In truth, Lenora was only actually a few years younger than Shiann. But taking care of someone so... So.. Fragile, really matures a person.
Shiann cut off the reflective thinking and glared up at her helping hand-slash-charge. "And I am not old!" She added, limping over and grabbing the other rein. Fire Hazard was still considerably calmed down, but shooting looks at the yearling. "I'm sorry about that," Shiann also told the woman, glaring over at Lenora, who wasn't looking at her anyway. "I guess next time I bring something new to shows, I should only bring one of them." Lenora looked at her this time, but her look was not comprehending. She was probably thinking something along the lines of, "But we only brought one horse? Are you talking about the truck?" Deer in the headlights. Shiann rolled her eyes. She fixed her gaze on the woman and then the beautiful splash Marwari yearling. "Your horse is beautiful," She complimented, hoping to turn the conversation away from the embarrassment that had happened, that could have been a lot worse.

[Nirvana Stout]

Ringer would paw at the grown, shaking his head around. Nirvana couldn't really rap her mind around what just happened. Ringer stopped the other horse from letting her get trampled on. She was shocked, feeling that the horse really did care about her. Nirvana walked to Ringer, and pulled his head to look up at her. "Thank you."She whispered for kissing against his soft nose. Nirvana then looked at the two girls, and the horse. "Its all alright. I am sure stuff like this happens alot!"She chuckled a little bit, resting against Ringer, would quickly pinned his ears. He looked back at the stallion that shot him looks, making Ringer stamp at the ground and bob his head aorund. "Calm down buddy."She chuckled patting his neck before looking at the woman. "I can same the same about your horse!"She smiled, looking at the taller horse. "He is very very handsome."

[Isabella Rose]

(Sorry -- forgot all about this!)

Astrid bucked and reared as Izzy led Zafira into the pasture to work her. Ray took Astrid's tiny leadrope from Izzy's hands and held onto her while simultaneously clinging to Compass' reins. The filly tried to yank the rope out of Ray's hand, so Raelyn jerked the leadrope and firmly told the Arabian, "No!" That quieted Astrid -- sort of...

Zafira wouldn't concentrate on Izzy because her filly wouldn't stop calling to her. "This isn't going to work, is it, Ray?" Isabella groaned from her mare's saddle. "Maybe we should've brought Atty along." Atty, AKA Demanding Attention, was the well-loved Arabian foal nurse. She could always keep the foals quiet.

[Shiann Crowe]

"Actually, he's never been to a show," Shiann admitted, looking over her horse. "He's new around the stable, and really, I should have probably brought a less spooky horse," She said with a glare at Lenora, who in turn smiled brilliantly. "But, I couldn't resist showing him off." She said with a wry smile. "And, I didn't expect my helper to become the problem." She said, raising her eyebrows at Lenora.
Lenora smiled again. "You know you love me. I'm awesome."
Shiann frowned. Ever since she'd taken in the other woman, Lenora had treated her like a sister half the time, and a boss the other half. This was a sister moment. "Go do something constructive, find some hot dogs and some drinks or something. Don't break anything. Don't spook any horses. And if I hear about a red-headed ditzy girl bothering someone, you get to sleep in the attic of the stable until I'm not mad anymore."
Lenora smirked and walked off, ponytail somehow back in place and bouncing with every step. "Thank you," She said, finally catching up with the compliment on Fire Hazard while Lenora, AKA the Eternal Distraction, was busy doing something other than being in the way.

Lenora had already forgotten where she was going, but was distracted by some girls exercising some horses in a nearby pasture. Most people around here had their horses tied up to a trailer, and still-ness was boring. Movement was what had drawn her to horses in the first place. Their muscles, their movements, the expressive gazes- They drew her like a moth to flame. She leaned on the fence to watch the gorgeous animals, uncomprehending the fact that she could be bothering the people on them.

[Isabella Rose]

Raelyn shrugged at her friend. "I really, truly don't know, Izzy," she said. "I think that once Astrid, AKA PITA--"

"Pain in the... nether region, right?" Izzy laughed. Ray nodded, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Anyways, once Astrid calms down, it'll be okay." Zafira turned her head to look at a woman leaning on the fence. Izzy smiled at the girl and tipped her hat to her.

Astrid pulled Ray over to the girl before the dark haired teen could do anything. "Sorry," Raelyn apologized when the filly began to lip the woman's hair. Ray caught the mischievous little horse and scolded her.

With Astrid distracted, Izzy could work her mare without the baby calling over and over. Zafira had a lovely, smooth canter that Izzy absolutely adored.

[Shiann Crowe]

Lenora giggled and patted the horse. "Must be something about my shampoo," She joked, smiling. "What beautiful animals," she complimented, admiring the horses.
