He had been so excited to be here, that on this fine summer morning Scotty found himself out with his mare Polly. For the most part he was exploring the grounds, but he didn't want to tire out Polly. No making her so tired she can't move was far from his idea of a good time. So instead of galloping about like a crazy man he road her for about half an hour before stopping. The hour was about ten in the morning and Polly was happy to be out stretching her legs ago. "Beautiful here isn't it girlSTAFF POSITIONS " He said to the chestnut quarter horse as he leaned forward and pat her on the neck. Letting out a hearty laugh as he wiped sweat off of his forward after taking off his hat. Placing the brown cowboy hat back on his head, he probably looked out of place with his dark blue jeans, and grey short sleeve cotton t-shirt. However, he looked the part of a cowboy for a reason. In away he was a cowboy. Okay most people would call him a farmer's boy, but still this was a new place and he could be anyone he wanted to be here. So why not be himself, but with a little more flare STAFF POSITIONS Coming to a stop and dismounting, he walked over to the gate of the round pen. Opening the gate he lead in Polly. She would need a bath to get the dirt off of her and to food her down, but for now he would let her run in the pen while he waited for an empty wash stall. Taking off the saddle he placed it on the railing of the pen and then closed the pen gate as he watched the mare trot around and around clearly enjoying herself.

The brunette sipped her soda as she walked around the grounds. Hardly a soul of her own species was obvious. Jade turned a corner to see a horse trotting freely in a well-built round pen. Curiosity filled her when she saw a boy watching, who was around her age. Jade walked over, and waved. She watched from the other side of the arena, and glanced over the horse. It was a beauty, and moved swiftly, in Jade's opinion. She set her sprite on the post, and rested her hands on the fence. Her cowboy hat protected her face from the hot sun that beamed down on her.
"Nice horse." She said as the mare passed her. Dust swirled up, faded the boy to a sillouhette. Soon it cleared though, and Jade lifted her head. "I'm Jade." She grinned.

Leaning against the fence he watched the chestnut gallop around before stopping to roll in the dirt. Letting out a chuckle at her he then noticed a girl on the other side of the round pen. She was on the outside, but she was looking at him. Looking her over he had to be honest she was pretty. Dipping his head and hat towards her he looked back at Polly as she started to run around the pen again in a canter.
Hearing the sound of the girl he looked back towards her. The dust was twisting about the air making it hard for him to see her. However, soon the dust cleared. Looking at Jade as the girl said her name he saw Polly walk over to the girl and reach her nose towards her to sniff. "Thanks, I am Scotty. Well really Logan Scott Atlantis, but I prefer Scotty. That nose in your face is Polly." He said as he left the saddle to walk over closer to Jade.

jade chuckled and let the mare sniff her. "yeah. I understand. I'm really ava jade parks, but I hate the name ava. it's boring." she smiled, and looked into scotty's eyes. he was actually pretty hot. she needed someone to help her get used to the place, and someone she could show Jake. his text's got too annoying. "I barrel race, rein, and do cattle events, youSTAFF POSITIONS " jade asked as she tucked her hair back. while she probably looked stupid, jade couldn't help it. he was to cute.
ooc. sorry for crumminess. promises to get better

He listened to her as he came to a stop by her left side. Looking at Polly he reached his left hand out to her. Rubbing his hand on her nose as he replied to her. "I like the name Ava. It has a 'V' in it. V's are cool, but Jade is very pretty." Rather he meant the name Jade or she was very pretty, well that was up to her to figure out. To be honest he meant both. Speaking in his friendly voice he smiled as Polly turned to trot off to the other side of the pen. Watching her roll around he took a deep breath and shook his head. "You are so getting a bath." He called to the mare who whinnied and rolled some more. "Barrel raceSTAFF POSITIONS That is awesome so do I. I also do western pleasure and trail." He said as he turned away from Polly and faced Jade.

"yeah, me and my boy are considering some trail classes later on, but for now, we're sticking with the other stuff. although we do trail ride a lot." jade smiled, although she was talking way too much. "and thanks for the compliment." even though they just met, scotty made this brunette happy. Jade is very pretty too. A special compliment, Jade didn't now, but still. It made her happy to think about. "I could help you wash her, than I could introduce you to my gelding, maybe take him around the farmSTAFF POSITIONS He really needs to get used to this place." Jade said happily. She wanted every minute possible with him.

 "Trail classes are fun, but so is just going on a trail ride with someone." He said in a calm voice. His heart was racing in his chest for a moment and he didn't understand why. "Your welcome. And thanks I would love to show you around." He said as he looked away from Jade and back at Polly. "Perhaps we could go for a ride and then give them both a bath. After all it isn't like she wouldn't run in the dirt after a bath." He said with a grin as he looked back at Jade. Rubbing his fingers of his left hand through his hair after he took off his hat. Putting his hat back on his head he leaned against the fencing as he waited for an answer.

Jade couldn't help but smile. "Sure! I guess Dex will have to get used to the barn another time. He needs to see what the trails are." She laughed, and grabbed her soda off of the fence. She put the weight of her hat on the string when she let it fall to her back. I love you already... she wanted to say, and fall into his arms. How nice would that be! But instead she leaned on the fence, resting her boot on the lower board. Her first few days have already been amazing, and to come through with a boyfriend would make it better. "I'll wait you while you get your mare, and we can go tack up at the barn STAFF POSITIONS " She asked, pulling her hair out of her ponytail. |

As he leaned against the fence he took note as to what she had been drinking. It was always a good idea to know this things. Like he liked Diet Dr.Pepper cherry as well as Coke with lemon slices in it. Looking away as she said she would love to go on a trail ride he pushed himself up from the fence. "Sounds good to me." He said with a nod of his head. Moving away he walked back to the gate. Grabbing the saddle off of the fence he walked into the pen. Polly came right up to him and stood still waiting for the saddle to be put on her back.
Once the saddle was put on her, Scotty grabbed her reins as lead her forward. He didn't mount her, she wasn't tacked up right for a trail ride. Not yet any ways. She didn't have a ridding blanket on, just a saddle and for a trail ride he liked her to have a ridding blanket on. "Come on Polly." He then said as he lead her out of the pen closing the gate behind him. "Shall we he to the barn thenSTAFF POSITIONS " He asked Jade as he and Polly came to a stop and looked at her.

 Jade nodded, and walked up to the barn. once she got there, she searched for Dex's bald face. He nickered and tossed his head. Jade laughed. "Don't worry boy, we're going for a ride!" she grinned. The brunette grabbed her black saddle out of the tack room, including her lime blanket, lime green/black zebra print wraps, and black studded breastplate-bridle set. She set them on the rack, and pulled out his neon green halter with a black lead. "C'mon bud." Jade said as Dexter slipped his head into the halter.
Once the gelding gleamed, she pulled out the blanket, and sprawled it across his back. She set the saddle above it, and cinched him up. Jade wrapped up his canons, and attached his breastplate. She then undid the halter, and placed the bit in his mouth, slipped the leather over his ears, and strapped his throatlatch on. Jade turned and waited for the cute boy who might be her boyfriend soon.

Walking to the barn with Polly and Jade he had a big grin on his face that he tried to hide from Jade. So he looked at Polly as he lead her forward. Getting to the barn he brought Polly to her stall where he took the saddle off of her again. Going to the tack room he picked up her teal saddle blanket and returned to her with it in hand. Placing it on her back he put her saddle back on her. Making sure everything was clinched, but wasn't too tight on her he padded her neck. Making sure her bit was in a good spot in her mouth, he didn't want her to get anything going wrong in her mouth.
After a check of everything the two were ready as Scotty lead the mare out of her stall. Looking at Jade he called to her. "You are readySTAFF POSITIONS Met ya outside." He let her know where they would be waiting. So taking the chestnut outside he mounted the mare and waited in the shade.

Jade smiled at Scotty. 45 minutes and she already liked him. She gave Dex one final cinch before grabbing her hat and leading him out to Dex. "This is Dex. My freak." Jade laughed and placed the reins over his neck. She then took a step to her stirrup, and mounted on the 15.1 hand gelding. His size was perfect for this brunette. "Where do you want to goSTAFF POSITIONS I need to figure my way around this place..." Jade chuckled. "Maybe afterwards we could go barrel race a bit, and I could show you some of his reiningSTAFF POSITIONS He fills up with energy real quick." She added. think |

It wasn't too much of a wait for Jade and Dex. However, Scotty could tell that Polly really wanted to just run, like the wind. Holding her back he saw Jade come out of the barn and mount. "He is marvelous." He said with a smile. Polly moved her head closer to Dex to give him a sniff before she nickered and pulled her head back in a bob.
"I think Polly likes your freak." He then said in almost a tease, but he did mean it. Nodding his head to her question he answered. "Well we could just ride around and I point things out." He said with a big of a laugh. "That sounds like a great idea. Polly here is just itching to run. I can feel her pulling a bit to do so." He then added as he put pressure on her sides and made her start to trot forward. "Come on. Well this is the main barn, but I am sure you already know that." He started the tour of the campus right then and there. A little silly, but still it was part of the grounds.

Jade smiled and jogged her horse next to Polly. He arabian met his mares gait nicely as the bunch trotted down the path. "So how long have you been riding PollySTAFF POSITIONS " Jade asked. 4 years with Dex had seemed quite long, but a couple years ago they finally clicked. A duo ready for perfection. "Me and Dexter have been together for like- four years now. He's awesome." Jade spoke loud enough to be heard over the clopping hooves against loose gravel. He is too cute... Jade thought. Dex tossed his head, ready to run. "In a bit boy...." Jade said, pulling on the reins. She relaxed again in the saddle, and smiled. "He's a sweetie, but he can be a pain in the ass sometimes." Jade chuckled. |

Oh that was a curious question. One that made him think and think hard he did. "Oh, um well she is eleven and I started barrel racing on her at age nine, so ten years. Give or take a few months." He said as he reached forward to pat Polly on the neck.
"She is a good horse, fast, but she can be a bit of a drama queen and a playful goofball." He said with a laugh as he leaned back into his saddle to sit right. Polly snorted and shook her head as a fly landed on her face and bugged her. Looking at Dexter Scotty have a chuckle as he shook his head slightly. "Aren't all horses a bit of an ass from time to timeSTAFF POSITIONS " He asked as he make Polly turn to the left to go along the fence. "And now if you look to your right you will see a fence on this tour." He said as they passed the outdoor arena.

Jade grinned. Today had been amazing. "Oh, that's a fenceSTAFF POSITIONS Wow, I've never seen a stable with one!" She said humorously. Her gelding eased into a lope, and Jade pulled him back. "Not yet boy." She said quietly, before she relaxed down in the saddle. The paint hesitantly obeyed, and Jade smiled. "Yeah, they all can. All this boy wanted to do when I brought him home was run. I mean, without listening. All he'd do. All day." She shook her head, then patted Deter on the neck. "You got over that, right budSTAFF POSITIONS " Jade joked. The brunette loved her freak, when he listened of course. And today had amazed her, finding a boyfriend in the first boy she saw.

"Now who is being the ass, smartySTAFF POSITIONS " He questioned in a polite, but completely joking manner as he let out a chuckle. He could feel Polly getting annoyed at him for holding her back and as they come into view of the pasture some forty feet away he got this idea in his head.
"Hey race you to that tree in the pasture." He said pointing to the oak tree in the far side of the pasture next to the fence. Running beside the fence to it could get the edge off of the systems of the horses. "OkaySTAFF POSITIONS READYSETGO..." He then said quickly before allowing Polly to bolt forward in a gallop. "Come on come on, you can't caught me! I am the gingerbread man!" He called back in a laugh. Polly was clearly enjoying herself in her run.

Jade tossed her head up. "Bring it!" She shouted. The overo dashed out from underneath her and Jade pushed him on until she came side-by-side with Scotty. Her paint went into full-speed-ahead mode as the brunette kicked him into gear. His nose crawled up before Polly's until the gelding was leading. Thundering hooves over powered the thoughts and concentration in Jade's head. The girl and Arab moved in sync, getting closer to the tree until her gelding got nervous. He slowed. Jade let him. She moved into a lope until Scotty would near the duo, than she would start out front again.

"It is so being brought!" He shouted back at her as he leaned forward. Polly's legs where moving as fast as she could make them, flying down the fence as if she was in a race for the crown. Still she was older and not quiet as fast as Dexter. Soon Jade and her steed where next to them, then ahead of them. One stride, two stride, six strides. They where getting closer to the tree that much was for sure.
Slowing Polly down as the mare seemed to get tired. They moved after Jade and Dexter in a fast canter. Seeing Jade slow Dexter into a lope then speed him up when he and Polly got closer he smiled. "Waarroo arroo. This is the police, the riot police - pull over!" He called out to her as he saw the two in front of him win. Clearly his police car siren needed a tune up or something, but hopefully she got what he was trying to do.

She laughed, finished the race off at the tree. The brunette pulled Dex around the the trunk, and looked back at Scotty when Polly came over towards them. "Officer! Officer! I'm sorry! How much do I oweSTAFF POSITIONS Do you need my ownership papersSTAFF POSITIONS " (ooc: I LOLed at <--- that =) I love these two <3) Jade laughed and stroked Dex. She put her hand on his shoulder. "He's starting to get pretty warm. Maybe we should finish the tour off at a walk, then warm them up again in the arena with BarrelsSTAFF POSITIONS " She smiled, and sat up straight again. think |

Laughter was always a good thing when having a good time. Seeing Jade and Dexter round the tree, Scotty slowed Polly to a stop in front of them. Allowing the horse to catch her breath. "Now, now little lady. Do ya know how fast you where goingSTAFF POSITIONS I am afraid this speeding fine is pretty steep." He said with a serious look on his face and a shake of his head. "I am afraid you are going to have to answer this question to get out of this huge fine." He said as he looked at her with a strain face. He was doing his best to hold back a grin and it was showing. Clearly he was having trouble holding it at bay. "Well you go to the movies with me tomorrow nightSTAFF POSITIONS Say six o'clockSTAFF POSITIONS " He then said with a grin on his face. He was no longer able to hold it back.
Looking now at the horses as he waited for her answer he nodded his head. "Sounds good to me. Don't want their hearts to burst or anything." He said with a dip of his head as he reached forward to pet Polly on the neck.
ooc: These two warm my heart.

Jade smiled. At least she didn't have to do that. "Of course! Um, my number is 892 - 789 - 2472." She smiled. "Maybe afterwards we could go get dinnerSTAFF POSITIONS " The brunette wanted to be able to talk sometime. With him, personally. Jade laughed. "Yeah, he'll start stumbling if he gets tired. Likelihood, low, but I don't want to get toppled on." She smiled, then sighed happily. Her ponytail drifted back in the breeze, and her big eyes closed, and Dex lead her down the gravel road. Today was perfect. |

Her smile made him return the smile. Nodding his head he took out his phone and programmed her number into his phone. "Okay, cool. I don't know any place in town to get anything good to eat, but maybe we can just stroll the streets until we find something." He said in a cheerful voice. He turned his head and face away from her as he blushed though. Taking a deep breath he collected himself before looking back at her. "No that would be good, but don't worry if that happened I would take you to the ER and call the vet." He was being serious now. He would take care of her, he would take care of both of them. Jade and Dexter. Reaching forward he patted Polly on the neck again. "Now if you look to your right you will see a...wall." He said as he noticed just then there was a wall next to him. "I believe this is the indoor arena." He then added as he looked away from the wall and to Jade.

"Oh yeah, that's nice." Jade laughed. "I'm not quite sure of any good places. Yesterday was only my first day, and my parents had packed all my meals for the trip. They are very protective." The female laughed, and glanced at the ring. It was empty, and then she looked back at Scotty. "Let's go in." Jade waved him over and began to blush when he couldn't see her face. This was amazing, like a fairytale.
"You go first, than I'll go." Jade said when she turned to see Scotty. She grinned, and stopped Dex when he tried to move. "Easy..." she whispered.
