"No..my companion...my best friend...he's...he's gone.." -Heather said while hugging her companion's lifeless body while the tears were now streaming down her face. She wasn't sure if she ever wants to get another horse, fearing of facing death over & over again-

Savannah didn't know what came over her. She just knelt down and hugged Heather, even though she barely knew her. But she did at least know how it felt to lose something you love. Oh, she knew that very well.

-Heather continued to cry while hugging her dead gelding's lifeless corpse while being hugged by the girl- "I'm not sure if I want to ride or own a horse again anymore, I don't want to go through this pain again.." -she said with bit of a shakey voice-

Savannah remembered her own times when she thought that. Even though this woman was older than her, she felt a kinship. "I'm not gonna say it'll be ok 'cause it won't. But you can make it easier by living. The pain you feel now is so so worth it, for all the memories you must have had with your horse. I know how it feels." Savannah felt a tear run down her cheek.

"I..I guess your right" -Heather said while her tears fell onto her lifeless gelding's face as her voice was still shakey-

Timothy Blue / EI / M: All

Tim had been curled up with Boomer for a while,Before eventually venturing out to find his room.He'd found it in the house after lugging his stuff around for half an hour,Quickly hopping straight in the shower and changing.

"So much better.."

He comments with a sigh,Rubbing his hair dry and pulling on his top.As he did so he began to hear a commotion outside,rushing to his window but furrowing his eyebrows at the realisation he couldn't see the barn.Tim hastily finished changing,Leaving his room in an utter tip and rushing out the door.

He Didn't know what was going on.It was madness.There was a - Wait a foal?Yes a foal by the looks of it,The distant sound of sobbing.

Tim freezes eyes wide as he glances around.The man who'd passed them was back,Messing with the foal.But someone was missing,And he's have thought shed be trying to help in this situation,

"Emily,Wheres Emily?"

He calls In a slight panic,Stepping in the aisle and feeling overwhelmed by everything.

"Can someone just tell me what's going on?"

Tim asks in an assertive tone,Checking over Magik and Mya's stables with a sense of dread as she was no where to be seen.

"So much for a peaceful lunch.."

He groans,Rubbing his neck as he once again glances around with a forlorn expression.Where did he start?

-Heather finally sat up as she released her lifeless gelding's corpse from the hug, she tried to wipe her own tears away but it was no use as they kept coming down. The young woman gently ran her hand over her gelding's face, shutting his eyes while her mind ran wild like a storm in a warm summer day, she wasn't sure of what to do at this point as she felt absolutely lost-

Savannah stood up, feeling awkward. She saw the eventing instructor nearby, looking a little shell-shocked. She dusted off the straw from her jeans and heard a bird sing. She felt like shooting it. How could it sing on a day such as this?

-Heather would silently watch some of the stable hands cover the gentle giant with a tarp then they put him on a stretcher that was for horses only as they carried him out to take him back to her home so he'll be properly buried under a old blossom tree. Tears continued to fall but she didn't say another word as the silence grew more & more until she stood up and started heading back to the house, going back to the dorm as she had left the stall that was now empty. She enters the red nylon halter from the tack room while she continued to keep her silence-

Tristan | HJI | Open

Tristan was vaguely aware that one of the horses had been hurt or injured, but had no clue what was happening. He saw Prince's stall was empty, which caused for more concern. Looking around, the instructor didn't want to overwhelm her, which was probably what was happening from every direction, but offer his guidance if she so wanted it.
