Eclipse started to show off while Heather lead the stud, getting overly excited as he strikes his front left hoof that accompanied with a high pitch squeal which caught the young woman off guard but keeps a firm grip on his lead. "Steady boy, easy now." Heather softly spoke to her Seal brown stud while leading him pass Reggy's stall, giving Lexi a apologetic look while leading him inside the stall, taking his halter off before slipping out of the said stall to let Lexi close the stall door. "Sorry about that, he tends to get like that at times since he still has his boys and all."

"Of course, I would love to see the cabin. I'll go ahead and get Banjo out of the truck before we head over there." The brunette said this before leaving the barn as she heads to the truck to fetch her dog. The Golden Retriever starts having the wiggles from how much excitement he was containing when he saw his owner, hearing a few occasional happy whines. The woman opened up the back door, grabbing his leash that's already attached to his harness with his collar on. The dog would happily hop out as she closed the back car door on the passenger side, going around to the driver side to reopen the driver side door to turn the engine off again then recloses her driver side door before locking her truck up as she comes back around to the passenger side of the truck.

Heather smiled at the girl, telling her thank you before watching her leave then the brunette steps inside with her dog, closing the cabin door behind her as she sighs, taking her dog's harness off to let him loose around the cabin to explore. "Home sweet home I suppose." She'd softly said to herself, taking her hat off as she hangs it up on the hat rack by the door.

The woman explored the cabin for a bit, checking out each room inside then she goes out the door. Walking down the porch steps then makes her way back to her parked vehicle to grab her things that she packed into three suitcases. The brunette took out her car keys then presses a button to unlock the four doors, she opens the back car door then starts grabbing her things. Heather firstly grabs a duffle bag, placing the strap over onto her left shoulder inside of her left shoulder then carefully pulls out a decently sized suitcase, putting it aside before pulling out the other suitcase that's the same size as the other.

The young woman would be carefully carrying her luggage back to her cabin to unpack, the brunette didn't want to bother anyone as she didn't think that she needed help. After a few minutes, Heather has gotten her stuff inside her cabin. Already having Banjo's dog bed out while getting finished with the rest of her unpacking to hopefully feel right at home in this new place, the young woman was still completely new to the whole Equestrian life style but so far, she has gotten some stuff figured out. Once the young woman was done unpacking, she took her two suitcases + duffle bag off her bed after closing the empty suitcases and the duffle bag back up, placing them underneath her bed before laying down on her stomach. She gently hugged the pillow while her eyes had felt heavy as the brunette closed her eyes to take a 15 minute nap.

Ciaran Whitley | Rider | M: None

12:05 p.m., right on time. The siblings had been driving for almost fourteen hours to reach California. Luckily they were close, and as the man pulls onto the drive to the large stable, he shakes his sister awake, "Freya, we're here. Wake up." He smiles at her attempts to swat his hand away and parks the truck and trailer into an empty lot. He gives his sister a final shake before jumping out, shoving the keys into his jacket pocket, and heading around to the trailer.

The man opens the back, swinging the doors open with a greeting, "Hello there. You guys excited?"

The bay stallion within lets out a call, nostrils flaring and eyes wide as he is backed out and takes in his bee surroundings. Ciaran chuckles, circling the horse in an attempt to calm him down as he waits for his sister, "Enough of that. Settle." He hushes the horse, giving him soothing strokes as he turns to his sister. The red-head, so different than her brother, currently led her expressive mule from the trailer. He takes the leadrope, tugging the two along as he searches for someone to talk to.

Freya Whitley | Rider | M: None

Freya awoke to the persistent nudging from her brother, hearing only a warbled voice in her half asleep state. She doesn't sit up until the truck parks and her brother's door closes, at which point she spots the barn and hurries to unbuckle.

"We're here! Oh my god, we're actually here," she exclaims as she practically throws herself out of the truck. The two wouldn't have made it if not for her input. Her brother wanted somewhere professional, elite almost, but Freya had noticed on the website how close the instructors and fellow riders seemed. The girl had suggested it and pushed in the closeness, which both probably needed at this point, and how it would help them in the long run. She was a little smug when he agreed, but now those words were at a loss. She was correct, of course, and made sure to give her brother a pointed look as if to say 'I told you so.'

Freya leads the mule from the trailer, passing her off to Ciaran as she closes the doors back. Once everything was secure, she hurries back and tugs the lead from her brother's hands, following alongside him.

After a few minutes went by, kinda overslept on the 15 minute nap. The young woman woke up as she yawned, gently rubbing her eyes with her right hand a bit while sitting up. She stretched a bit before reaching over to the nightstand of where her glasses are, picking them up before placing them on her face to see everything better. Heather got out of bed then starts changing into her riding clothes, wanting to do something productive with her horses to pass the time and maybe seeing other riders and their horses while she's here. The young woman changed into her riding attire which would be a plain red polo shirt, black breeches with a dark brown belt, black riding gloves and tall black riding boots. The brunette would refix her ponytail so it would look a lot nicer than her usual kinda messy ponytails whenever she's in a hurry to get to somewhere. Heather quietly debated if she should braid her hair or not, the young woman sighed before doing a quick but careful braiding of her hair. She'd brushed her teeth again then applies deodorant on, the young woman would give Banjo some of his toys that would keep the dog busy for a while then she exited the cabin, closing the door behind her before locking it then proceeds to go down the porch steps as the brunette makes her way to the barn, quietly debating in thought if she should ride either Eclipse or Etria first.

Heather would enter the barn as she'd look around, walking down the barn aisle until she stops at Etria's stall first while seeing that she forgot to take the mare's halter off and sighed, quite annoyed with herself as she let the mare come over to her before gently taking her head collar off to hang the halter up then goes over to Eclipse's stall who greets her with a high pitched nicker. The brunette softly smiled at her stallion, shortly followed by a sound of an oof that escaped from her lips, Eclipse has roughly nudged his face into her a bit as if somewhat demanding for attention from the woman which earned a playful eye roll, gently petting the stallion's face to give him some affection. She'd grab his black leather halter off the rack it was hanging, slipping the head collar onto his face then grabs his matching colored lead rope before clipping it onto the said halter. Heather opened his stall door, leading the seal brown stud out of his stall before closing his stall door behind him, starting to lead him down the barn aisle to get him tacked up for either some training to catch up on or just a ride to help stretch her horses legs more.
