"im sorry for just leaving the mare." he said quietly at first. he looked at whiskey. that stallion had watched caleb and bolt jump. "is there an english saddle that would fit whiskey?" he asked. he was willing to give it a shot with his best friend

Taylor Browns - Taylor hugged him back. "Its ok, just please don't do that again." she responded to his apology, giving him a soft smile., and squeezing his hand gently. "Probably, lets go find out" she said hoping up, and dragging Caleb with her by his hand. Taylor dragged him all the way to the barn, and then into the tack room. She looked around for a moment, looking for a saddle that would fit both Whiskey and Caleb. Eventually she found one and let go of Calebs hand, and grabbing the saddle of the rack. "Here, I think this one should be good" she said giving him a gentle smile.

Caleb took the saddle and found bolts old bridle and saddle pad. He went and tacked up whiskey and lead him to the areana. He warmed whiskey up and the stallion wanted to jump. They jumped the 60cm jump first and Caleb seemed not tense and they were jumping well.

Taylor Browns - Taylor followed the boy and watched as he tacked and proceeded to start jumping. She now stood on the outside of the arena, her arms on the top of the fence as she leaned on it to watch. Caleb did jump much better with the stallion, but it was obvious, even if Whiskey did love jumping, Whiskey wasn't built for it, and probably couldn't jump any higher than what he already was managing to make it over. But Taylor watched happily, and Caleb didn't seem tense at all, so it was all okay. Unknowingly, Taylor had a giant grin on her face watching the boy she had like for so long, achieve something he loved to do.

Caleb smiled. He loved jumping with whiskey. Even if the stallion wasn't ment for it. Whiskey always surprises caleb when he jumps higher. After about an hour caleb knew what he'd do with angel. He'd train her to jump. He untacked whiskey and put him out in the pasture with a mesh filling rug on. He then went to angels round pen and worked on the mare. Caleb when he was younger learnt to jump on a wild 4 year old stallion. He hasn't seen the stallion for quite some time. Angel trotted around him. Caleb stayed out there all day with the mare and didn't leave till nine at night once the mare let him put a halter on her and pat her neck breifly

Taylor Browns - Taylor watched and stayed with Caleb until he put away Whiskey and started working with Angel. After waving a little goodbye to the boy, she then ran off back down to the barn. Taylor proceeded to take Domino out, tacking him up and bringing him out to the indoor arena. Taylor always had a spare pair of breeches in her locker in the barn, just in case, so Taylor had changed into her cream colored breeches and tall boots, but was still in her bathing suit top. Taylor mounted up and started the music in the arena over the loud speakers and started her routine for the show coming up tomorrow. After a hour and a half or so, both Taylor and Domino were exhausted. Taylor was satsfied with their practice and she dismounted, and walked Domino over to his stall where she proceeded to untack, groom and feed her horse. "Get some rest, Domino, big day tomorrow, but you'll nail it, I know you will." Taylor spoke to the horse and then walked over to the calf. it was already late in the night, probably around 9 oclock or so, and Taylor still had to feed the calf. So Taylor walked over and made up a bottle and then walked over to the calfs stall. Even though it was late and she should get some sleep, and she was exhausted, but Taylor still wanted to hand feed the little calf. So she entered the stall, and sat down in the same spot as last night, holding out the bottle. The calf came trotting over and started suckling happily. Taylor smiled at the sight, but her eyelids were slowly closing with tiredness.

Caleb noticed the time and lead whiskey into the stables. He noticed Taylor asleep with the calf. The calf had finished the bottle and Caleb put whiskey away and but the bottle away. He tried to wake up Taylor but she wouldn't wake up. Caleb carefully lifted her up and laid her down in his room before sitting on the couch in the kitchen (if that's ok with u)

( Yep, its all good :D ) Taylor Browns - Taylor subconciously leaned into Calebs warmth as he picked her up and moved her to his room. There she slept is Calebs bed, without even knowing it, but she slept well. Very well. When Taylor woke the next morning, the sun was glinting through the window at a angle Taylor wasn't used to. She pushed herself up into a sitting position on the bed and looked around the room. This was not Taylors room. Taylor found her phone in her pocket and pulled it out, checking the time. It was early, she still had a few hours before she needed to leave for the show, but she would need to start getting ready and figure out who was going with her soon. "Hello? Is anyone there?" she called out, standing up and walking slowly over to the bedroom door. She didn't know whos room this was, and she didn't know why she was in it.

Caleb had fallen asleep on the couch. He woke up to Taylor calling out. He looked at her "I didn't know how to wake you so I brought you here so that you wouldn't catch a cold" he explained. He went to the fridge and got out an apple "want anything to eat?" He asked

Taylor Browns - Taylor looked over at just woken up Caleb. His hair was all messy, but he was still gorgeous as ever. "Um, Thank you..." Taylor said quietly, figuring out that she had been sleeping in Calebs bed. The thought of this turned her cheeks a light pink, but she hoped Caleb wouldn't notice. "Sure" Taylor responded, still a bit pink and looking up at Caleb.
