Izzy nodded. "Yep. Sadie was overreacting. She thought the mare was having complications. But she wasn't." Thank God, Izzy thought.
(I love the Big Bang Theory xD)

"Benjamin is one of my therapy kids," She said, grinning. "He's quite the little character. These guys just get run of the mill mash," She said, giggling. "I mean some are medicated but yeah, just mash. We adopt out the ones that aren't as cooperative," She joked, then looked at Izzy. "I'm glad everything went alright," She said, then turned her attention back to Pants, who had one ear swiveled toward her and the other forward, his head bowed and picking up his feet well. Even for him, this was a smoothly running lunge session. She clicked to him softly, and he loped in one circle before she said, "Woah." softly. He stopped easily- He hadn't been going very fast- and she pointed in the other direction. He took off that way in a trot. "Lunging is my second thing to do with the horses here, since I don't ride unless I have to, so these guys have seen enough of it that they know what to do," She said, grinning.

A van pulled into the driveway of the center, towing along a trailer. Izzy cocked her head. That was Kai Wulen, one of the Desert Sun ranch hands in the front seat. He exited the van and rushed up to Izzy, Lorelei, and Jenny. "Howdy," Kai said in his very southern accent. "Now, since Miss Isabella is gonner be stayin' here a while, us people at Desert Sun decided she should have her two horses, if that's okay, Miss Crowe." How did Kai know Lorelei's name? Oh, duh. Izzy had left her computer screen up, so obviously Kai had looked at the page that was already up. Kai tipped his hat to Lorelei and said, "That's a fine animal, Miss Crowe. Is it all right if Miss Isabella has her fav'rite horses? There's on'y three, and one's a foal."

"Um, sure, that'll be fine," Lorelei said, holding a hand up to the horse in a silent whoa. He obediently stopped trotting and walked up to her, and she subconsciously put a hand on his nose. "And thank you," She added, all the while wondering how he knew who she was but then again, most people came here knowing who she was.

Kai led Isabella to the trailer. "Which ones did you bring? And why didn't you tell me about this?" I asked Kai. He winked at Izzy, opening the trailer. In it were three of her horses: Zafira, Astrid, and Moments. Moments was a bay gelding, Zafira a chestnut mare, and Astrid a graying silver black filly. "If you do lessons here, Lorelei," Izzy called to Lorelei, "you can use any of these. Even Astrid would let the kids brush and groom and do pretty much anything to her..."

"Aww!" Jenny stopped the circling roan horse and lead him with her as she leant over the fence to look at the horses "What breed are they? They're gorgeous! Better not mention to my stable hands that everyone else has their horses over here, or they'd ship my entire stableyard! Apparently theres something wrong with the british weather which makes them want to move to sunnier climes!" Jenny joked

Izzy laughed. "I'm not even sure why *my* stable hand shipped my horses here," the girl giggled. "Moments is a Morab, a Morgan Arabian cross. Zafira and Astrid are purebred Arabians."

"Not many arabs or their crosses round where I am- the boys would find it fascinating! Look at their heads! Only get big hunters and ponies where I live"

Izzy laughed and nodded. "Yeah, they're quite smaller than that." Astrid reared as if to say, "I am NOT small!"

"That foal is gorgeous! Got lots of little ones waiting for me when I get back- I have an 2 ISH yearlings, one a colt and one a filly, a 3rd ISH arriving as a yearling cause he and his Mum's transports gotten delayed, we've just rescued a wild filly, booked a breeding, got a surprise foal as a present and sent another mare away for breeding- I've only ever had 1 foal at a time before, so Im gonna be rushed off my feet- and I still need a new broodmare and stallion too!" OOC- I am a sucker for foals- once the new ones arrive I'll have: 3 ISH's: 2 colts, 1 Filly 1 Hano (not yet bred) 1 Norman cob colt 1 undecided filly and 1 GRP/Appy/colorado ranger foal Whoops? Add my 6 adult horses to the mix, as well as a 3rd ISH broodmare I'm looking for and a ISH Stallion, I'm gonna need to sell some soon

Lorelei grinned. "They're beautiful!" She said, looking over them. "I don't know about the kids riding them or anything, but they'd be great for introducing the kids to different breeds," She said, mulling over the differences between these refined horses and the stable's more sturdy, hardened breeds. "I mean, I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems, but we try to keep the kids on horses that are familiar to them." She said, then paused and smiled, adding, "But I'm sure they'll love seeing some new faces around here!" She said, looking at the horses again.

Izzy smiled and nodded at Lorelei. "Are there any empty stalls anywhere?" Izzy asked.

((I'm going to have to sell some this time around too Just have too many running around, and all of them are related... :/)) "Yeah, we have some empty stalls, good thing we have a lot of them," She joked, then looked at Jenny. "Sounds like you're going to have your hands full!" She said, laughing.

"Yep! Were gonna look at getting in more help- atm, its just me and my 2 younger brothers, and 1 work experience student! Do you want me to take one?" She asked Izzy OOC- I cant sell any of the foals, as 2 are from foal crops, 3 were bred from my mares by anothers stud, 1 was a breeding request out of 2 of anothers horse and 1 was a present XD As for the adults, Motto is my baby and was my first horse, Danny was a breeding request and my secondary baby, Hero is my brothers, Annie and Livvy are my competing/breeding mares and Sugar is also my brothers, although once she has had her foal she may be sold

((Well that sounds.. like fun D: Good luck!))
Lorelei smiled. "Ah, it'll all work out." She said, rubbing Pants' nose when he bumped his head against her, hoping for food.
