Blue tassles hung from his head, and his glinting brown eyes shown purple. Colt Falyr stood next to his bright bay stallion, Renji. The stallion was 7 years old, 16.3 hands but was smaller than his long legs portrayed. Colts pale hands grabbed at a brush and swept the tan brush against his horses coat until it shown. Renji tossed his head, his short mane shaking back and forth, back and forth. Some thoughts mezmerized the young 18 year old boy; like ''If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?" or "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?". Colt shook his head and walked to the tack room. 2 minutes later, he came out with a jump saddle, a pad, girth, helmet, and cross country jacket. It was practically the perfect day, not to hot, but not to cold. Although, the clouds looked ominous. And yet, Colt was excited.

Seb clipped the halter onto the mare’s head. Snapping the lead rope into place she gave a soft tug and Twilight followed easily, leaving behind the other horses in the field. The scrape of hooves on concrete made Seb cringe every time Twilight moved her hooves. It was a sound she loathed. But she dealt with it as much as she could. Stepping up to a grooming stall Twilight snorted, pricking her ears and looking into another stall. Snorting wildly she reached her head over the divider. It took Seb a few moments to regain her attention long enough to get the cross tie’s snapped into place on either side of her horse.
Peering into the other groom stall Seb smiled. The big bay was a gorgeous horse, she had to admit. Stallion no doubt. Maybe around six or seven, nine at the most, based on his build. The tack didn’t surprise Seb. A lot of people were English around here, you didn’t find many Western riders.
Slipping back into her own groom stall before the owner came back she swept the brush she had grabbed over Twilight’s buckskin coat. Such an odd color for a Lusitano. Not that she didn’t like it, but you didn’t find many like her. Picking the mare’s hooves Seb was having trouble keeping Twilight from trying to reach over and make contact with the stallion. So social, and yet so anti-social with other mares.
Sweeping her hand down each of Twilights legs Seb checked for heat, maybe a swollen joint. Nothing. That was good. She didn’t need any accidents before show season. Going to the tack room she pulled out an old Native American rug. Rubbing it down, checked for rips. Grabbing the English hackamore she tacked Twilight up quickly.
Leaning against the divider on the stallion’s side she watched the other person. ”Nice stallion. Such a beautiful color. I’m Sebast… Seb. My name is so awkward. I just prefer Seb. You must be new? I haven’t seen you around before.”

Colt looked at the girl leaning against the navy blue divider. Seb had a beautiful buckskin mare that had a very golden glow to her body. Colt smiled at the girl. Colt, nothing more. This is Renji. He's a bit of a devil. 7 years old.. and smaller then he looks. only 16.3 He slapped himself in his mind at starting to talk randomly to someone he didn't know very well. Eh. Yeah I guess I'm newer, finally convinced my parents to let me get a stallion. He chuckled at the lies he told his parents to manipulate getting Renji.
Any idea where your going to ride today? He asked. His blue hair glinted as the sun peeked through the clouds. He lifted the light jumping saddle onto Renji's back and smiled as the stallion pawed the ground. Putting the halter around Renji's neck, and slipping the bit into his mouth, Colt laughed. Not a laughing at someone laugh, just a 'happy to be where I am' laugh. Random for even Colt.

”Pleasure to meet you Colt. And I’m sure Twilight is happy to see a stallion. Even if your horse had been a gelding she’d be happy. She’s very anti-social with other mares.” The words tom boy came to Seb’s mind as she thought about the buckskin on the other side of the divider. ”16.3 is still pretty tall, but not for a Warmblood.” Seb didn’t need to be told that he was a Warmblood. His legs, the sleek shape to them. His chest, broad but narrow enough to do any sport and not have to heave himself over a fence or a log. The slim line to his ribcage. She could see it clearly.
She was surprised he’d pick a stallion though. Some could be very ill-tempered. But it seemed he had done a good job in picking one with a better personality. ”Not sure yet. I thought I was just going to stick to the trails but Twilight would get bored. She knows these woods better than I do. We might take the less beaten path and see the river, give Twilight a well deserved swim.” Seb usually stuck to all the trails but Twilight was becoming very bored with them and wanted to run through the underbrush.
Unclipping Twilight Seb swung up onto her back and adjusted the rug so it was comfortable. The mare pranced around, showing off for Renji. Seb lightly pulled the reins and she settled. ”Sorry. She gets over excited at times.”

OOC//Wait what? 'The words tom boy came to Seb’s mind as she thought about the buckskin on the other side of the divider. '

Well, I was heading towards teh Cross-Country course, but I'm sure Renji would love to go on a faster paced trail ride or something, through water, etc. Colt smiled and uncliped Renji, and went outside the barn, and heaved himself atop the stallion.
Renji's bay coat flickered in the sun, and he tossed his head at Twilights prancing. No worries, Ive seen worse mares. So, we heading out to the trails?

OOC//: Seb thinks of her horse as a tom boy XD She’d rather be with a gelding than a herd of mares.

Cross country was fun, but not in just a bareback pad. Seb followed on Twilight as Colt led Renji outside. Clipping her helmet onto her head she adjusted the chin strap as he talked. ”I’ve seen some pretty bad ones. The worst are the ones who attack the stallions. Yep, to the trails. Maybe after the river we could hit the beach? It’s Twilights favorite spot to run. The sand cushions her hooves when she gallops.” Seb smiled as she remembered the wind in her hair the last time she had let Twilight run free. ”Maybe we can have a race.”
Turning Twilight towards the forest trail she moved her mare into a trot and was eager to get to the river so Twilight could take a quick swim before the beach.

Actually, the beach sounds super fun. Kind of far away though, isn't it? Do you know a faster way? Colt asked her. His black Charles Owen helmet clung to his head, little blue bangs hung from his forhead. He nudged Renji forward and began to walk towards the stalls.
\\OOC We should start a new thread on the trails/beach. Can you do that, since I started this one?\\

Super fun. That brought a small fit of giggles to Seb’s throat. Teenager and he stilled used terms from the eighties. Not that she minded. At least Colt was well mannered, so far. ”Yep. We can cut across the south trails. That should cut off about fifteen, maybe twenty, minutes.” Since she had to change direction Seb lightly touched Twilights right shoulder, making her turn at the cue towards the southern trails.
OOC//: Will do ^^
