Sam shook the water from his face, springing back up in the saddle. "sounds good, lets go." He moved Nero so he was standing on the long yello stretch of sand, splattered with shells and rocks here and there. He started moving Nero at a relaxed, lazy walk down the beach, smiling and humming softly as they went.

Ellie nodded and set Astra off along the white foamy edge of the sea, where it lapped over his hoofs calmly. Ellie looked into the distance over the sea, where you could see a couple islands on the the other side, "Do you know whats over there?" She questioned with a slightly tilted head.

"no, why?" Sam said, squinting into the misty distance at the small outcrop of land on the horizon. Nero moved calmly through the water his eyes focused on the path. "whats out there?" he asked Ellie, bursting with curiosity about the strange islands in the ocean.

"Well," She started with furrowed brows, I don't exactly know. I've never been. But according to Aaron, there's a little herd of horses that run around. It's only a small little island though, so there's not much space for them," She shrugged before looking back in front of her. "It's supposed to be good for trails as well." She added with a chuckle.

"oh, sounds nice." he said thoughtfully. "wonder if you could get thee when tide is out?" he looked again at the outcrop of rocks, trying in his mind to estimate how far it would be to get there. He looked back to the track, nudging Nero into a lazy trot to catch up with Ellie and Astra.

"It would be quite deep, but probably. It would be quite an interesting trip, anyway." She nodded lightly before watching them trot lazily up behind her. "I wss thinking that we could go back into the woods, then find a canter track along there? There will be a few more people out on the beach later, and I don't what to be here when we start getting chased by the little kids." She teased lightly with a chuckle.

"yeah let's do that, im sure there is a lot of canter tracks up there in the woods." he remarked, smiling and slowing to a walk.

"is that the meadow?" he asked, pointing to an expanse of flat green grass dotted with wildflowers in the distance.

After another half hour, Ellies face was flushed pink from the slightly chilly wind that blew through the trees. A smile started to reappear on her face as she saw the meadow start to come into sight. She had remembered coming here when she had first arrived with a few of the other girls that used to be at the yard, so it had a slightly nostalgic feel. She nodded as Sam asked his question, slowing Astras pace slightly as the got closer, "Yeah, we're here." She said with a soft smile.

Sam smiled at the sight of the peacefull meadow, slowing Nero down and walking through the wooden gate. The air was perfumed with wildflowers, the breeze drifting lazily through it. He dismounted, drawing Nero's headcollar out of his bag and swapping it for the bridle so he could hand-graze without the bit getting in the way of his food.

Ellie quickly did a similar thing as Sam, but took the Geldings heavy saddle off so that he could relax and made sure Astra was settled before going to find a nice patch of short grass to sit on where the sun shon through. She dug around the saddle bag to find some sandwiches and a water before plopping down on her little patch of grass.
