Brea managed to get the treats in her mouth before she chewed away at them, She had one of her back legs cocked as she relaxed but put that foot down as she noticed him looking at her legs. The leg in question had no cuts or marks on it but it was slightly swollen near the joint just a pulled muscle, Brea nuzzled him before sticking her muzzle in the net. . Fay once she was in the feed room took the bucket off it's hook and started putting Double's food in which was quite a few things he needed to help his immune system and such, Once it was in she mixed it a bit before walking back to Double's stall and putting the bucket in so he could eat. She smiled at him and pulled out her phone checking something as Sasha laid down near Double's stall

Double tossed his head up and down excitedly before dipping his mouth into the feed, taking a large mouthful and grinding it down with his teeth, he was always happy to eat and had never been picky. The gelding did pause occasionally to look around to check if anything interesting had happened but it was just his rider, the dog, the other human and Brea . Andre sighed seeing the swelling, he would have to do something about it but that could wait until tomorrow seeing as it wasn't a serious injury, he hung around a bit though making sure Brea was comfortable and got enough to eat before giving her a few pats and getting ready to go "see you another time" he called to Fay before walking out

Fay smiled "See you tomorrow" she said before waving her hand goodbye, After she'd finished on her phone she gave Double a hug where his neck joined his chest not wanting to leave him but she had to go work her late shift she got at the bar. "Bye see you tomorrow my sweet boy" She smiled at the gelding before heading out and towards her old car with Sasha in tow . Brea watched Andre leave before snorting and getting comfy in her stall as she bent her front legs and laid down with a huff, Her tail beating on the stall floor as she looked around a bit then laid her head down near her front legs closing her eyes but before she drifted off to sleep she managed a "goodnight double.."

Andre made his way home, it wasn't too far so it didn't take long but he was tired by the time he got there since he hsd chosen to walk that day. He got to his room and just tried to rest as best he could, as he drifted off he remembered he couldn't go to the stables the next day im sure everything will be fine he yawned before finally just falling asleep . Double arched his neck over Fay's shoulder when she hugged him, nibbling at her hair slightly and snorting when she started to leave. The gelding watched until he could no longer see his rider before turning to the horse across from him "see you in the morning" he nodded and made himself comfortable so he could relax and rest

Fay when she arrived at her car got inside before letting Sasha jump in, Climbing over the controls Sasha laid down on the passenger seat watching as Fay had a few failed attempts before successfully starting the car and driving off heading for the bar. Once there she parked the car and climbed out with her dog, Pets weren't allowed inside so she let Sasha stay at the back while she worked her shift. Brea now fast asleep had a few good dreams before waking early in the morning around six, Getting up the mare relieved herself before finishing her hay net. Grinding her teeth against the hay Brea looked around the stable seeing only a few others were awake and none of the stable hands had arrived yet but the sun had just risen

In the morning Andre was up before sunrise, taking his car to get to the stables, he usually got there very early to help out with grooming and feeding. Today was no exception, he got there as the sky turned grey and walked to the stables to find Double . Double was tossing his head as he heard Andre's car pull up, he was looking forward today, he knew the routine, today there was going to be a morning warm up lunge and a riding session then he could graze in the pasture, he would be washed when it warmed up enough and then he would go for a jumping session

Fay managed to get some sleep after her shift ended but she didn't wake up till 11am, Scrambling to get dressed she managed to pull on her boots before heading out feeling bad she was late when usually she was already at the stable grooming Double before their training. Behind the wheel Fay struggled to keep her eyes open so she put on some music to help her stay awake picking up some coffee on the way . Brea watched as Double got excited when Andre arrived, She put an ear back trying not to get possessive of her owner but she knew there was other horses and Andre probably liked others too not just her so she retreated back into her stall after a head toss and loud snort. Relaxing in her stall Brea remembered how she pulled a muscle yesterday so she most likely wasn't doing any extreme lessons today putting down her mood

(i forgot for a second that Andre wasn't Double's rider! Sorry <-< I'm going to pretend I didn't mess up) Andre walked in and went straight to Brea "you ready for today?" he asked, leaning against her stall door with a lunge rope in hand, he had brought it from home remembering that all their tack was gone, he was planning on ordering new ones this afternoon when he was free . Double's ears dropped when he realized the car wasn't Fay's or one of the stable hands, he knew Andre helped around and lunged the horses in the mornings every now and then but it wasnt his rider and he wasn't top priority

Fay arrived at the stable stopping her car making it's old breaks squeak like usual, With a few gear shifts and a turn of the keys the engine stopped before she got out with an energetic Sasha jumping out after her before running to the stable. Taking long sips of her coffee she now was able to keep her eyes open and not trip over her own feet when she dozed off, Chucking the empty cup in the bin she headed over to the stable and was quick to greet her waiting boy. "I missed you and it's only been a few hours" she chuckled before noticing Andre was there giving him a friendly smile . Brea looked over hearing Andre and her ears came forward an excited look on her as her big blue eyes widened, Walking over Brea stretched out her neck as she couldn't wait to get some pats and love before they did their usual activities. While she was near Andre she took the time to nibble on his shirt

Andre chuckled seeing Brea's reaction, he reached over and scratched her withers, patting her neck as well "you're in a good mood" he smiled kissing her nose. Andre turned hearing someone else come in, he spotted Fay and waved at her "hey" he greeted before turning back to the mare to clip on her halter . Double saw Fay and neighed, counting against the floor of his stall eager for attention, butting his head against his rider's shoulder once she was close enough. Double wanted to tell her he had missed her too but all he could do was make sounds humans didn't understand
