Anthea snickered at the joke, so far the nervousness had started fading and she had kept her heart from racing like horse. She looked over the horse, then her owner and stepped closer, with a little sip of her coffee, she said, or rather whispered. "Hey, Catherine, was it? I liked your joke.. hope that didn't sound to weird.." She let out a chuckle. Looking over at the other new kid's horse, she held out her hand, letting him sniff her before she rubbed his forehead. "So you're from Germany?" She said, stepping backwards and rubbed hid neck, she had almost drank the last of her heavily creamed coffee. Shoes, there better be a lunchroom thing where I can get some more if this.

Brooke Camden | M: Anthea, Heather, Catherine, Rose

When her words settled over the small crowd of students in the driveway, Brooke noticed a younger-looking girl making her way towards the group. She examined her more casual outfit and loosely braided hair in amusement. The girl must have just come off a long drive, Brooke’s hair looked similar in fashion when dealing with long car rides, except she didn’t have the luxury of keeping it out of the way. Her pale fingers neatly placed a few strands of hair behind her ear as she listened to the new girl speak.

“Hello Anthea, it’s nice to meet you. I am Brooke, and this is my brother Alden. I was just saying how new students will be welcome to pick their new stalls in the left barn. You said your last name was Moss? That sounds familiar.” Brooke’s green eyes glistened in curiosity as she spoke, she tapped her short-manicured nails on her phone case in thought. “Ah! Your Friesian is out at pasture right now, in the field behind the right barn.” Pointing with her left hand past the stable behind her, she gestured towards a paddock that had a black dot in the distance. The Friesian grazing on fresh hay in his ten acres of space while the group was talking.

“I put him out there myself this morning, he’s a sweetheart.” A small smile was now on her lips as another girl introduced herself, taking in her curls that when she brushed them out of the way. “A pleasure to meet you Catherine, and Tamlin of course.” She chuckled at the small joke the girl made and then turned her attention to the last girl as she spoke up. This one appeared to be the shyest of the group, Brooke would keep that in mind for future lessons and thought to bring it up to her instructor as a heads up. She nodded her head as the girl smiled and then looked at her phone after her introduction. “That’s wonderful that your mother is helping you, Rose. I’m sure you’re excited to see her and your new horse.”

Alden had yet to insert himself into the conversation and Brooke angled her head to give him “the look”, to which he responded with a shake of his head. She frowned at the behavior of her brother, her eyes slanted as she glared at him silently, before remembering they were in front of people. Brushing off his behavior with a light and airy laugh, in the back of her mind she decided to ignore him for the rest of the day. The least he could do was help her out when addressing new students, sometimes he was more stubborn than she was.

Anthea followed the motion to the pen were the could barely see a black figure. "I am assured he is in great hands, Brooke." She glanced at Alden, but he wasn't talking she wasn't going to acknowledge him.

Her hand dropped off the gelding she was petting and she sipped the last of her coffee. As she stared out into the miles of acreage on the Belle View's property, she focused on the black dot that had nearly 10 acres of land to graze on. The mountain in the background made the barns extremely cool looking somehow.

She soon realized her messy hair, she unbraided it, setting her coffee cup on the cement while she let her curls loose, it looked quite hilarious when she threw it around her head like a dog to make the sticky feeling away. It was very fluffy and reached near to below her ribs, red all the way through. She took her time, french braiding it this time, she looked and felt pretty hot and.. Did not care that she did. Finishing off with a hair band she picked up the cup and rubbed her hands off her pants.

Brooke was pleasant, as were the other girls who inserted their names and barter amongst the group. Tamlin let out a pleased whicker in the direction of the upcoming trailer, trailing his head after Rose as she walked towards it. In her absence, Catherine took her time to run her eyes to the left barn and her grip tightened on the lead. She took in the look the Camden siblings exchanged and she let out a breathtaking now as the best time to excuse herself and wash up a bit from the drive.

After she settled Tamlin in she would ask Brooke to direct her to student housing so she could take a few minutes to herself to settle her racing thoughts and fidgeting hands that urged Tamlin forward now. The grey gelding flicked his neatly braided tail and stepped after her, his head hung to her shoulder in an attempt to make her stay. Another gentle yet knowing pull had the gelding following suit after the honey blonde.

Catherine's phone buzzed from somewhere in her trousers and as she walked from the group she reached a hand back to grab it. Her father had sent her a brief text to let her know he had arrived in Virginia and hoped she was doing well.

'Im here.' She shot back with an attached picture of Tamlin walking beside her. He merely liked the message and that was the end of the conversation. She didn't fight the slump of her shoulders or the stutter in her step as she walked down the barn aisle. She settled on an end stall to give Tam more room and fewer neighbors to deal with. Cat could have cried at the sight of the freshly laid bedding and open door, they really did get everything prepared for their new students didn't they?

rose thorn| M. major-horse,

Rose lead major over to the barn on the left, major stopped and rose gave him a cluck of the tongue to tell him to get moving rose chose a stall towards the far end to block major from to many horses but he could still be around them rose lead him into the stall and tied him then she shut the gate and got all her horse riding tack and put it next to majors stall and got her stuff then she got her keys and went to her mother, her mother got out and gave rose the truck keys and rose gave her the car keys the rose got in the truck and drove it to the driveway so that her mother could leave in roses car. after that rose parked the truck and went back to her horse she put a light pink blanket that again her friend gave her onto major and then took off his halter and untied him

Ryker held onto Akuma's lead rope as they both just kinda looked at each other. "Hopefully things will change bud... at least I got you to keep my hopes us." Akuma snorts before lowering his head down to eat his morning grain. Ryker leaves the make shift lean-to and exits the pen. He gets to his pick up truck and drives down the road to the Academy. He was new to the area and needed money and some kind of reputation to help move things in his plans along. Driving up, he goes and parks. Getting out, he looked at the place and wow it was nice. Walking through, he stays on the path and tried to find an owner or manager; someone to talk to about getting a job. He knew this place was for riders and learning, but it wouldn't hurt to help around and get to know everyone.

Anthea kicked at the cement, seeing the girl who had a dog and horse with her. Damn, I could've brought mine. She thought, this weekend she would have to go back and get her own dog, and another long drive. She stuffed a hand in her pocket and wandered slowly to the pen where Crocus Wing was.

-

The high stepping stallion spotted her near his pen and swiftly approached, doing some kind of less than normal trot. Speeding up as he came closer, and a few feet from the fence, he abruptly stopped, sliding a foot or two as he pawed at the sky, fear coursed over Anthea face as she jumped backward. "J,J and M!"(Jesus, Joseph and Mary) She said outloud as she dropped the coffee cup, nearly spilling what was left, but she caught it. "Okay your gonna be that way?" She said after he dropped to four hooves in the soil. He let out a snort and he rose his head up out of spite. Yes.. girl, I am. Crocus Wing thought with pride. Get use to it.
