Playing in the field was a Thoughoughbred mare. Her black and white coat was glistening in the sun as she chased after the other horses, kicking her legs out as she ran. The fiesty paint mare was Just Another Star.

In the stable yard was a little red jeep, with a pretty little girl in the drivers seat. The face was well known, but slightly forgotten. The skinny brunette hadn't been to the stable in four years. She left to go to school, leaving her little sister to take care of her mare. Now she was back, hoping to rekindle the relationship she had with the horse. If anything, she was desperate. She hated knowing that her sister was the one to have a relationship with Star. She was her horse, not Holl's, she couldn't stand sharing something with the girl.

She pulled a cowboy hat onto her head, exposing the tan leather seat. The entire jeep was spotless, showing what a neat...or, in...someone elses words...controlfreak, Delphinium was. Everything had to be perfect, spotless. She vacummed out the jeep once a week, and never let anyone with dirty shoes in the car.

Her slender hand gripped the door open, and gracefully opened it. A cowboy boot, followed by another hit the dirt, and she stepped out of the car, looking around, quickly noticing...nothing had changed. She groaned inwardly, wondering why she came back. School was nice, there was always somethign new going on.

She closed the jeep door, and made her way towards the pasture fence, quickly spotting her mare among the other horses.

[<Ryan Wesley>]

Ryan arrived, shortly after the girl did. But he didn't really know. He wasn't paying attention. He walked into the barn and saw his horses werent' in their stalls. He got a little paniced and he searched in almost every stall in the barn. No sign of his horses. He walked quickly out of the barn and out toward the pastures. He studied them and looked through all the pens outside then out toward the pastures. He blew a whistle through his teeth and then heard a whinnie. It was familiar.

He knew now why they were in the pastures. Those stupid grooms don't know what days to bring them in and out. He woudl just have to tell them to leave them alone and Ryan would do it himself. He walked back into the barn to grab his halters. He saw a groom adn told him to tell the others to leave his horses alone. He wasn't nice about it either. He was rather irritated. He walked back out to the pastures and caught his gelding Dude and his mares Lady and Nikkie. He looked around for Doc and his other horse. They were stud horses so they were probably in a different pasture.

As he was walking out of the pasture with his horses he looked over and saw a girl. Dang she was good looking. He smiled a little and gave out a small whistle toward her. Ryan was feeling immature at the moment. He had been tight with this girl and she decided she kind of didn't know what to do with her life so he gave her some space. So now...he felt like being a teenager again. He laughed a little and took his horse inside and put them in their stalls. He walked back out with his other halters. But stopped next to teh girl. 'What horse is yours?" he asks and decided maybe he should act his age now. "Sorry about earlier.. I get a little immature sometimes." He says and looked at her and smiled brightly, for once in teh last week. "I'm Ryan Wesley. You knew?" He asks.

Heather had arrived at the barn before the girl and guy. She was dressed in ripped short-shorts that showed of her tanned legs, a pair of cowboy boots, a tan tank top and a cowboy hat on her blonde hair, which she had pulled into a loose side pony. She had come for a ride on her horse, Mayhem, who was grazing in one of the close paddocks.
She walked towards the paddock gate, and whistled for her mare. The pretty paint came trotting over, but it was more like a prance. Heather smiled, watching the horse carefully. She had a beautiful conformation, with long legs and a thick, strong neck.
The mare stopped at the gate, letting Heather grab her brown leather halter.

She thought about what they would do today. Do some natural horseman ship? A workout? A trail ride?
She was about to come to a decision when she saw the guy, who was talking to the girl.
He was so...so...HOT.
Heather's heart skipped a beat. She walked over, keeping her hand on May's halter. The mare pranced after her owner.
She came to stand beside the guy and girl. Heather sized up the girl first, who had brown hair, and was so thin and tiny, compared to Heather's curvy body.
The girl had a cowboy hat on, and a pair of cowboy boots, just like Heather.
Heather turned to the guy, throwing her arm over Mayhem's neck, leaning on her, holding her thick black mane.
She looked the guy up and down, he had short dirty blonde hair, and he was obviously muscular, under his shirt.
"Hi, I'm Heather." She said, more to the guy more than to the girl. "And you are?"
She snapped her Hubba Bubba bubblegum while she waited for their responses.

Her other hand was on her hip, and her chest stuck out a bit further that normal. Most girls would cover their huge boobs.
But Heather wasn’t like most girls.

Delphinium walked closer to the fence, when she heard a loud whistle. She glanced towards it, seeing someone else walking towards the pastures. She didn't pay much attention to the young man, her eyes full of Star. She decided to just watch the mare for a while, before trying to see if she would remember her. She twisted her hair around her finger, not paying attention to the world around her.
She heard another loud whistle, and it again, attracted her attention. She looked and he wasn't whistling at a horse, he was whistling at her. She laughed. It was something she was used to, and didn't really mind. It was kindly flattering, atleast to her.
When he's suddenly next to her, she jumps. "Oh, Star." she said, pointing at the black and white paint Throughbred. "It's ok." she said, giggling again, not looking at him yet. When he said his name, she decided to look, and offer a hand. "Delphinium Irving." she said, turning to face him, a brilliant smile on her lips. "I just came back, from medical school." she said, slightly proud of her accomplishments. "I sort of grew up here, since I was 10. But I was gone for four years." she said, still smiling sweetly.
She saw a girl and a horse, and looked them both over. The girl was pretty, and so was her horse. She'd forgotten how friendly people were around here. She had been slightly afraid she would feel like an outcast when she came home, but apparently not. "Delphinium." she said, answering the girls question that was obviously not for her. She looked back to the horses, wondering how she would catch Star, the mare was difficult enough to begin with when they were close, but she'd been gone for years.

[<Ryan Wesley>]

Now Ryan wasn't the kind to choose and pick girls. And when he came in he was eyeinng the brunette girl trying to catch her horse, Star. He was whistling to her and being very immature. The girl was pretty but she wasn't the best looking. He had seen alot prettier girls. And Ryan was the kind to try and get the most beautiful he could get. He was rather picky about his girls. The last girl he was with was Sydney Montgomery. Well, they really werent' together but they had sex alot.. and she might be carrying his baby. But that was besides the point. She wanted to be alone so he was willing to move on.

"It's ok." Delphinium said to him. He smiled glad to hear that. "Delphinium Irving." she said. He looked at her and knew he would never be able to pronounce her name. Not with his australian accent. "That is a differerent name, Delphimiun." he said saying it wrong. There was no way he would be able to say her name right. That was something he didn't like about her. "I just came back, from medical school." she told him. He didn't like that either. He didn't like girls that went to school to be rich. Hell, he didn't even make it to college. His career was rodeo. "I sort of grew up here, since I was 10. But I was gone for four years." she told him and he nodded. He was being quiet because he was trying to show her that he wasn't interested in her anymore. "That's cool you went to school and grew up here." That was all he could say.

Then he heard another horse come in and he looked over and saw a blonde. Damn, she was beautiful. How was he suppose to be nice to both of them now? The new girl was alot more beautiful then teh brunette one. He sighed, he was in trouble now. He would have to hurt one of their feelings and he was afraid it was going to be Delphinium. "Hi, I'm Heather.And you are?" she said to him and he smiled. He could say that name. "Nice to meet you Heather. I'm Ryan." He told her.

Heather had hung her arms around the horses neck and pushed her boobs out. Damn, why did she have to do that. Ryan was very attracted to boobs. And she had boobs and a butt. He bit the inside of his lip. He would just have to leave and see which one followed him, and hopefully it would be Heather. "Excuse me ladies, but I need to go get a horse rode." He said and walked past them and walked to his horses stall. He walked to his black quarter horse stallion's stall. He put a halter on Doc and led him out and brushed him and saddled him. Then led him to teh arena and got on him. He walked around once, then moved the horse into a trot to warm him up.

[heather]

Nice to meet you, Heather. I'm Ryan. Dang he was cute. She smiled.
It all seemed to be working as soon as she pushed out her boobs.
Ciao, Heather said, watching him as he walked away.

Mission accomplished. She looked at Delphinium. Well, I have to go ride. I'll see you later. Nice meeing you.
She smiled at the pretty girl and walked away, her horse prancing after her.
She hadn't doubted herself one bit. She knew Ryan would fall for her tricks. Mayhem walked beside her, flicking her tail at the occasional fly. And as Mayhem did that, Heather flipped her bangs out of her face.
Well girl, I suppose we can do a quick work out then go on a trail. Perhaps Mr. Goodlookin' will come with us.She winked at the mare.
May just tossed her head and nickered her reply. Heather giggled.

It was hot out, and as she tacked up Mayhem, the mare had already gotten a bit sweaty. Same with Heather. Her face felt hot. She couldnt wait to get home and have a long bath.
Heather pulled the bit to Mayhem’s mouth and the horse took it as Heather put her thumb in between her teeth. She quickly did up the cheekstrap and gave the western saddle a quick tug to make sure it wasn’t loose.
Mayhem was such a looker. She was paint, with a black mane and long stockings on her legs. She was tall, and with a good conformation. She was the perfect example of a Quarter Horse.
Heather was excited to have her new horse coming soon. She was a young 2 year old, and super cute. She was also a Quarter Horse, and Heather would be training her herself.
The blonde pulled herself onto Mayhem and adjusted herself before giving the mare a push of her heels and walking on. She was happy to be riding, and she couldn’t wait for a nice shady trail after a sweaty workout.

Ryan was confused at the moment. He wasn't sure what just happened. He had totally just ignored one girl and gave the other all the attention. But he couldn't help it. Heather was very beautiful. And dang, he could even say her name right. The other girl he just wasn't sure about. Hell, he didn't know whether he really liked either of them. He groaned. He hated when two girls came in the picture at teh same time. It was hard to pick and choose without hurting ones feelings.

He took the black stud horse outside and looked around. He saw Heather on her horse and smiled. He looked around, not seeing Delphinium. He smiled and hopped on the black horse after cinching the cinch tighter. He whistled toward Heather. 'Hey wait up." he said in a somewhat australian accent. He came trotting up to her, keeping distance though between hsi stud horse and her paint horse. Doc though was a good and old horse and he had manners. The stud didn't even make a noise. He was just walking along quietly.

'So, you new here?" He asked her and smiled to her. Finally, maybe some time alone. Who knew though? Either way he was with her for the moment so it was all good in his opinion. He adjusted his eyes to the sunshine and looked around the scenry a moment. He looked back to Heather. "That's a nice looking horse you got there." he said. Ryan was a sucker for girls on horses. Especially hot girls. And it didn't help that she had a body like no other he had seen. He couldnt' believe that this girl liked him though.

[heather]

Just as Heather had pulled herself into the saddle, she heard a short whistle. She turned her head, pulling the cowboy hat down a tad to block out the sun as she looked at Ryan as he came forward on a nice looking horse.
Heather turned Mayhem to face the horse and rider.
Your new here? He asked. Nice looking horse you’ve got.

[/color][/s]
Yeah I’m new, she replied, tossing her blonde hair behind her shoulder. And thanks, your horse is good looking too. She smiled to herself. Just like you. She thought.
It was just then that she noticed the horse Ryan was riding was a stallion. But he didn’t act like one. He stood still, not making any actions to get closer the Mayhem.
But May, on the other hand was tugging at the reins, trying to sniff the other horse. Heather struggled to get her to stand still while she tried to make conversation.
So, how long have you been riding here? She asked, forgetting about the work out she was supposed to have. A nice long trail ride with McDreamy would be better.
Suddenly, Mayhem gave a shrill whinny, pushing her head, fighting the reins that Heather held tightly. She stomped her hooves on the ground and layed back her ears.
Heather was appaled. This was the first time that Mayhem had behaved rudely for her. She would take it. She turned the horse in tight circles. The mare settled down whenshe had circled for the third time.
She shook her head. Sorry about that. She apoligized to Ryan, smiling a brilliantly white smile.
Well, I should go. I have to work Mayhem, but I have a two year old that I have to ride after. Would you like to go on a trail? She asked politly.
She hoped Ryan wouldn’t turn her down. At least the filly wont be a pain in my ass. She said, gesturing to Mayhem. [/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Yeah I’m new she said. He smiled to her. Ryan was kind of new, but not really. He had bene here for a little while now. And thanks, your horse is good looking too she complimented his horse. He smiled and patted Doc's neck. "Thanks. He was my roping horse a couple years ago." He told her and smiled. Doc was about 10 years old. He has been roping for 8 years of his life. And Ryan decided to kind of retire him from roping and turn him to stud.

Heather's horse kept trying to sniff Doc. Doc, being the gentleman he was stood there quietly. He didnt' even act interested. But if Ryan had a leather halter on him with a lead chaing over his nose, Doc would be all over that mare. But he didn't so Ryan didn't worry about it. So, how long have you been riding here? She asked him. He thought a moment. "About six months now." He told her and moved Doc a little so the mare wouldn't get too close. Ryan didnt' want to risk anything.

Heather's horse kind of threw a tizzy fit. But nothing like Doc could do. But Doc only gave those when he hadn't been ridden in over a week. He smiled watching the mare and Heather struggle to keep her under control. Heather got her under control after a few spins. Sorry about that. she appologized. "No worries. All horses do that." He told her hand smiled to her. Dang, he was enjoying his time with this young lady.

Well, I should go. I have to work Mayhem, but I have a two year old that I have to ride after. Would you like to go on a trail? she told him and he thought a moment. "Sure, you go work your horse. And you come get me out of the barn when you are ready to go. I will saddle up another horse to go with you." He told her and smiled. At least the filly wont be a pain in my ass she said. He nodded and smiled. That was true. " See you in a few." He said and trotted Doc back to the barn and inside to the arena. He walked, trotted, and loped around. Just enough work to get the horse a bit sweaty and a little out of breathe. Then Ryan unsaddled him and took him to the wash rack and hosed him off really good then tied him up in his stall to get dry.
