Unloading to a New Start

[Izzy Hale]

Izzy walked down the isle to Mona's new stall. On the door was a piece of paper with all of Mona's information. At the very bottom was Izzy's favorite part. "Mona says 'I love treats! But be careful I don't mistake your fingers for carrots!'" It was something everyone did at Izzy's old barn and it made her laugh.
Izzy led Mona into her new stall. It was bigger than her old one and it made Izzy happy to see that she had made a good choice in comming to Elysium.
Mona nickered as she sniffed the stall and started sorting out her hay. She grabbed a mouthful and pulled it from the large clump. Izzy giggled and Mona walked up to her. Izzy nearly fell backwards as her mare rubbed her arm in pure satisfaction. Rubbing was Mona's favorite thing and Izzy was glad to see she was already settling in.
Izzy uncliped the leadline she had on her horse and closed the door. She folded her arms on the edge of the door and rested her head on them, watching her beautiful mare enjoying her new home. Everything was perfect, all Izzy could ask for. All that was left was for Izzy to feel just as welcome as Mona did.

Duke was excited. He was being groomed in his stall - the luxury! He could wander around and pester Ella and he wasn't tied up! - and he could smell a new horse. Ears pricked, he stepped forward and stuck his head out of the door, whinnying a welcome to the new mare. "My you're excitable today," his owner said with a grin. "I really should've hitched you for this. Oh well, you're pretty much done now anyway," she said with a rueful smile, patting him on the shoulder and gently pushing on his chest to get him to move away from the door.

With some reluctance the young gelding stepped back, sticking his muzzle into Ella's hair in some kind of reprobation as she stepped through the door and huffing as she ducked away, quickly closing it behind her. The young woman could hear someone else on the way to the tack room, and seeing as she had her grooming kit with her she might as well say hello. Strolling down the aisle she caught sight of a teenage girl and an interestingly brindled mare hanging out in the stall she was pretty sure she had personally prepared for a new boarder.

"Hiya. Enjoying my fine handiwork I see!"[/color]

Izzy was startled slightly by a voice behind her.
"Hiya. Enjoying my fine handiwork I see."
The woman was nice and the voice sounded familiar. Kaitlyn remembered it from the phone when she had called to inquire about moving Mona here.
"Hi. Thanks for getting my stall ready for me! Mona loves it." She smiled. Izzy was greatful she wasn't going to have to worry about setting the stall up and making sure she could unpack all her things.
"I think I spoke to you on the phone? I'm Izzy Hale."

Ella smiled, nodding. The brindled mare certainly looked happy enough in her new stall. They were going to have to put a new wing on or something soon if they kept on getting more boarders, but that would be something for Hope to worry about at a later date, and not really any of Ella's business.

"They always do after they've been stuck in a trailer for a while!" she replied, grinning. "I don't think you spoke to me, it was probably Hope, the owner. She tends to deal with new boarders when they ring up.. but I might've picked up. I'm Ella Simmons, it's nice to meet you, Izzy."[/color]
