Louis Wright | 19 | Male | Conquer Nought (Statis) | Mentions: Mist (Briefly), Ruth

Although Louis had immediately dropped off his luggage at the base of his bed after meeting with Peter, he himself didn’t return to the cabin until much later into the night. By that point, all the lights in every building had gone out, and he was alone under the cover of the starry skies. It was rather soothing and in some odd way, reminded him of home. He wasn’t homesick per-se, but he was already very bored, and he had only been there for half a day. Sneaking in, his roommate had already been fast asleep. So, he had quietly stripped the shirt off and swapped the pants for a thin pair of sweats. From there, he had brushed his teeth and fell flat onto the bed from exhaustion.

His sleep was brief, since the other girl woke up far earlier than he had anticipated. And that slight rattle sound of the drawers being opened had woken him up. He blinked lazily, as he observed the blonde head off to the bathroom from the corner of his eyes. Once he heard the door click, he let the heavy lids close back once more. He should really talk to her. He doesn’t even know what discipline he was supposed to be learning from her. But it was just too early in the morning, and he was feeling too cranky. What a curse to be such a light sleeper!

Slowly, he rolled over onto his back and ran his hand through the curly mess of hair, automatically starting to twist each section into more defined twists. Holding back a massive yawn, he let himself doze for another fifteen or so minutes. He remained still until that blonde left, before rolling out to wash his face and shave. Opening the suitcase, he pulled out a set of a polo and slacks, thinking that he should really unpack soon. Checking the time, he quickly got dressed, grabbed his phone and left. The hair could be properly fixed later; it wasn’t as if it looked terrible the way it was.

Heading through the double doors of the central building, his eyes caught sight of a red-head girl walking ahead of him. She too, it seemed, was heading for breakfast. He lost sight of her briefly, but as it turned out, he was behind her in the queue. Stepping slightly to the side, he leant round and observed her side-profile for a second before stating, “You’re cute.“ He paused for another brief moment, tipping his head to the side as if he were a puppy.

“I’m sitting with you for breakfast.”

Earl K. Aurelius || Male || 20 || Viridian's Glorious Vigil (Valiant) || Mentions: Louis, Ruth, Drake (I think???)

Earl was late. He was so amazingly late, that he was conflicted whether it was laughable enough to poke fun at. They managed to conclude that yes, yes it was funny enough. From the passenger seat, Earl sighed and leaned back into the black leather of the trucks seats, casting his gaze over to the person driving. "Thanks so much for driving me, I don't know how I would've gotten here otherwise." Of course, Earl has his driver's licensce and a car that was able to tow a trailer, however it broke down a few hours before he was supposed to leave, and with little other options has to email the owner of Mallow Grove letting them know they'd be late. Thankfully, Peter was flexible enough to let him know he could come late, and emailed him the rules of the stables. Standard stuff, pretty much. Dianthe hummed in recognition to him, not taking her eyes off the road as they turned right down a street, a minute away from the property. "Not a problem, kid." Earl's parents had managed to contact Dianthe, and with some luck worked out a way she could transport him and Valiant over. "Is this the place?" She asked, pulling up towards the gate and parking the car, turning to look at him. "This should be right." Earl confirmed, before hopping out the car and bidding Dianthe goodbye and thank you once he managed to get Valiant out of the trailer and his tack and luggage out of the trunk.

He placed them aside, determining he couldn't leave Valiant outside alone and should bring him to his stable first, before pulling his phone out and searching for where he was supposed to go. Barn B, Stall 20 on the right. Earl huffed, like that made any sense, before shrugging and determining he'd wing it and tugged a little on the lead rope to let Valiant know he was going to start moving. They tucked their phone into their pocket before picking up his tack, and started the trek. Trail and error led him to the right stall finally, and after assuring the stallion would be fine alone, ran back to the gate to gather all of his things, namely his luggage. The cabin, now that he determined where the barn was, was easy enough to find. Earl unlocked the door with his key before stepping inside and looking around. It looked unlived in, meaning that his partner wasn't here yet. With a small shrug, he quickly placed his stuff down on the left bed before stretching and giving a long sigh, glad that all the boring hard stuff was done for now. With a little skip in his step, he quickly made his way down to what he assumed was the main house and entered into the dining area, seeing many people already there.

Earl took notice of everything before grabbing a plate, deciding on the pancakes and huge assortment of toppings offered for them. They settled for whipped cream and syrup, before sitting down at the far end of a table three people were already sitting at, keeping to himself for now and opting for just listening to them

Shiloh glanced up from her phone watching the people at the table and then got up. She grabbed a few strawberries and walked out the door, her boots clacked on the hard floor as she walked towards and out the door. She began walking slowly towards where she had let deluxe run and play for a while. Seeding her walking towards the paddock deluxe began galloping towards Shiloh not slowing down until he was inches away from hitting the gate. "Hey buddy how has your morning been?" She spoke softly to the horse that was licking her hand. She grabbed his lead rope and began walking him back to the barn.

-

As Deluxe walked through the barn he nickered at the other horses who were peeking their heads out to see what was causing a disturbance in their morning peace. Shiloh put the stallion back into his stall, latching the stall tightly she walked into the tack room to grab her saddle. She carried her saddle and cleaning supplies towards a bale of alfalfa outside of her studs stall. She sat down and began scrubbing the saddle to free it of any muck or dust that it had gotten over the 48 hour drive.

"Yeah sure! I'll be there in a second." Cade went to the bathroom, then started texting Shelly. It had been a day since he had texted her and he figured she would want to know how he was doing. He told her about how everyone was nice so far (except for that one stable hand) and how Jazz seemed to be settling in really well. He made sure his phone was fully charged and slipped it into his pocket. He stepped outside the cabin. It was decently warm and a comfortable tempature. He walked out looking at the veiw and how pretty it was. Soon he got to the cafeteria and stepped inside. He scouted out where Drake was after a little bit of looking around. Cade went and got his breakfast then walked over and sat down next to Drake. Drake was sitting next to another boy so Cade offered a small "Hello" Cade ate about half of his breakfast before turning to Drake, making sure he wasn't interupting him and the other boy. "So what do you want to do about training today? I'm fine with teaching or learning so its really up to you."

Drake was eating his breakfast, sitting next to Louis, when Cade walked in. After getting his food Cade sat down next to him and they all ate together. Cade and Drake exchanged a quick hello before digging into their food. The breakfast was really good, and truly hit the spot for Drake. It was quality coffee as well, and was waking him up quickly. Drake wasn't a morning person, more of a night owl, but he typically got going quickly in the morning with a good cup of coffee. Sipping his coffee, he turned his head as Cade started to speak. They really needed to plan out their riding for the day. Drake thought for a moment before responding.

"Um I was thinking that we could both ride once and teach once, but maybe we want to ride and demonstrate for the lesson we're giving? Maybe a morning session for one discipline, and an afternoon or evening session for the other? I have a bit of a plan for you but I'd be happy to let you teach first if you feel comfortable. Sorry I'm a little all over the place." He gave Cade a smile, knowing he'd be happy with whatever plan they figured out.

"Okay a morning and an evening session sounds good. I'd be okay teaching first. Lets head down to the barn then." Cade and Drake put there dishes away and walked down to the barn. When they got there the angry stable hand was no where in sight which was lucky in Cade's opinion. "Groom and tack up then meet me outside the barn." Cade went into Jazz's stall to check if he had been fed, watered, and if his stall had been cleaned, which it had. "Good morning Jazzy boy! How are you?" Cade began to pet Jazz and slipped his Halter on. He led him to the cross ties and clipped him in there. Cade went to the tack room and grabbed his grooming kit. He began to groom Jazz. Then he picked his feet which turned out to be quite the chore. Turns out Jazz didn't like having his feet picked. Then Cade went to put his grooming box away and grab his tack. He put the saddle pad on which was a maroon color. Then he put on his dark brown jumping saddle. He put on Jazz's girth and slowly tightened it. Then he put on his dark brown bridle. "If your worried about Wayne being a bit strong i'd bring a running martingale." Cade knew that horses could get excited doing cross country for the first time. "All right im done, meet me outside when your ready." Cade unclipped Jazz from the cross ties and led him outside of the barn.

Wisteria Lee || 17 || Female || Take a Little Chance(Chance) || M: Ruth, Louis, Drake, Cade

Wisteria looked up as four different people sat down at the table in front of her. She recognized Drake and Cade from last night, but the two that had sat down first were a mystery to her. Mabey the redhead was Ruth, it would be worth asking. Wisteria finished her food and then put her tray away. With the task of eating complete, she approached the table. As she got closer she could hear Drake and Cade talking about training schedules, and soon after she started her approach they got up to go and get started for the day. Taking a deep breath to steel herself, she approached the redheaded girl. "Are you Ruth? Because if you are then you are my partner. My name is Wistira and I do Reigning. What discipline do you do?" There, she had said all she needed to say, all there was to do now was wait for a response. She had managed to keep her voice steady, if a bit abrupt. She didn't think that anyone would be able to tell that she was internally freaking out unless they were super perceptive.

Shiloh finished cleaning her saddle and then wandered around the property. Once she got tired of wandering she went back to the barn to bring deluxe out and hand walk him around the barns, letting him get used to the area and noises. Shiloh glanced around questioning what to do next. Hm I wonder if anybody would mind if I took a quick trail ride? She thought. She tied Deluxe up to the crossties proceeding to brush and saddle him.
-

She grabbed her neon green and black barrel reins and hooked them onto deluxes headstall. Shiloh walked him out of the barn and headed towards the nearest trail. She then mounted him and began down the trail.The red roan shook his head at the flies that had seemed to suddenly appear. Shiloh continued plodding down the dirt path observing the local wildlife.

"Sounds good to me," Drake replied, finishing off his coffee. After the boys had finshed their meals, they put their dishes away and left the dining hall. They headed straight to the barn, and got right to work brushing and tacking up their horses. I suppose I'll have fix my hair later, Drake thought to himself, it'll get bad under my helmet anyway. He went straight to the tack room, exchanging his blazers for black tall boots and spurs. He grabbed a brush and a hoof pick from his trunk, figuring Wayne couldn't of gotten too dirty in his stall over night. Much to Drake's relief, he found a decently clean horse. First he refilled Wayne's water bucket, and saw that he had been given some more hay since last night. Once Wayne was ready to be tacked up, Drake grabbed a light blue saddle pad, a black half pad and his dark brown CWD jumping saddle. CWD was the best saddle brand and their was nothing you could say to change his mind. Once Wayne was all saddled, he grabbed front and back jumping boots, probably not perfect for cross country but much better than polos or nothing at all. As Drake was about to grab Wayne's bridle when Cade walked over and suggested a running martingale. Drake found that to be a great idea, taking it quickly from Wayne's bridle rack. After putting on the matching dark brown martingale and bridle, Drake led Wayne from his stall, having him stop momentarily to grab his helmet and gloves from his trunk. Once those were put on, the went outside the barn, meeting Cade where he'd said to be.

"Where to next captain?" Drake joked, excited to try cross country for the first time.
