OOC: who here thinks hotspot is being a horse hog? i don't need to adopt that many horses! *slaps own face.* Katie: "heavens!" i said in reply to the story. then, i heard a familiar voice from behind me... "Amanda!" i exclaimed, turning to see my missing student dressed in orange chiffon and talking to the photographer. she must have gotten here late, and decided to try it on. "lovely dress. and this young man must be from the portrait studios?"
Owen: the more i mulled it over, the more i began to regret calling one of the sorrels. i had all the Berryhill horses to excercise besides Ballerina, and someone with more time would probably be best for her. but i waited for someone to speak up for her, just in case.

Miley:
"omg." i said as Leigh finished the story on Caramel Sensation. "wait that means that this horse isnt Caramel Sensation. so what is her real name and can you tell what will happen to the horses?" i said to Leigh. i walked backwards over to Mocha and her mom. i patted them and soon after Crown Jewel came over as well. i petted all three horses. "poor things. but you guys will go to a safe home." i turned back around to the gazebo and motioned for him to come over here.
Justin:
i let out a sigh and let Eagle and Rascal graze ground tied. i looked over at Miley and she was motioning for me. i jogged over and we stood face to face. "what?" i asked.
Miley:
"why dont you buy Caramel and Mocha for your girlfriend, her otherside. she doesnt have a horse and she will need one for the competition." i whispered. we were about 20 feet away from the gazebo and on the otherside of Caramel and her foal. i looked over Caramel's back and looked over at Owen. he seemed like he didnt want to get the sorrel. i heard Katie yell someone's name. i looked over at who she was talking about and it was Amanda. i waved to the Sterling girl. then turned back to Justin.
Alexandra:
i rode in the Perfect Harmony Ranch horse van with my boyfriend Caden Buck. we were heading to Sterling's to see our younger siblings. since i had just gotten off the phone with Miley about an hour ago, and she had said that they had found Crown Jewel. i had called the Buck's ranch right away and talked to Caden about it. he had decided to come and pick me up and we drive down to Sterling's and check up on our siblings. plus our parents had told us too.

Leigh: "she has no registered name," i said. "in the world as we knew it, she doesn't exist, let alone bear a title. but the stable hands reportedly reffered to her as 'Confection'." i checked my watch. "i'm sure that one of you would be perfectly happy to but these two," i said. "while the herd was paid for in full by Mr. Berryhill, they'll be around one hundred and fifty dollars for the pair. a steal." i added. "but it's about time for me to go... i have an appointment with some irate rancher who got his alfalfa crop eaten off. he says it's mustangs... i say otherwise." here we went again- another case for the biologically correct detective, Leigh Tillotson.
Katie: i had a feeling that Miley was cooking up some scheme, one that might bring attention to Francesca, so i nipped it in the bud. "I'll pay for them!" i said, flourishing my checkbook and writing one out. "and then we'll see what pans out."

Amanda:
Katie had come over and said she had liked my dress, also asking if the guy I was talking to was from the portrait studios. I looked at the guy, I was pretty sure he was, but how could I be sure. I ended up saying that he was anyways. Then someone was waving me over to them, I did not know if it was me, Katie or the guy. But I thought I should get away from the door anyways, so I walked over to her.
Devin:
The girl-I believed her name was Amanda-walked over to another girl and I was left with a women. I asked her "Do you mind if I take your picture?"

Miley:
i heard Katie take an offer on Caramel and Mocha. so much for Justin. i looked over at the barn and saw Amanda walking over. "Justin why dont you go take Eagle and Rascal inside." i said to Justin pushing him along. "heyy Amanda, long time no see." i laughed a little. "whos it been?" i asked.
Justin:
"ok." i said walking over to my horses. "Francesca, can you come and help me with Eagle now?" i asked her. i looked at her waiting for an answer.
Alexandra:
i looked back at the trailer pulling my horse and Caden's. i needed to go for a ride with my sister badly. i missed my sister a lot and Caden missed is younger brother. his twin had wished for us to come along but he had said no. i dont know why but sometimes he was a mystery to me. i looked back at the trailer again i could make out the two horses, Happy Appy and Nutmeg. Happy Appy was a bay appaloosa and Nutmeg was a blue roan quarter horse. both horses were amazing with cattle and wild horses, or anything that we wanted them to do.

Mary Anne: Was the photographer talking to me, or someone else? I didn't want to seem rude... "Sure, you can take my picture!" I said, though I wasn't dressed half as fancily as Amanda. I would have to go talk with her after the photographer left; I wondered why she had been gone so long?

Katie: "of course!" i replied to the photgrapher, busting out a huge, smug grin. in the background, of course, Milton Berryhill was making friends with a wild mustang. the picture would be the talk of the competitive equestrian world for months.
Trillium: "Ov course!" i exclaimed, throwing a longing look over my shoulder at the beautiful mare and foal. trembling through my forced bravado, i made my way towards Justin and his horses. the only horse i had ever ridden was Pandora, who was as sweet as pie and virtually unflappable.
Arin: i could hear snorts and whinnies from the hitching rail over by the entrance- Fly, in her new digs, was getting restless. "I'd better take off now," said, motioning towards the head-tossing mare. "my horse thinks it's time to go." i said goodbye to everyone, and then jogged over to With Flying colors to untie her lead and mount up. i loosened my shoulders and took of for the trailheads. i had some major thinking to do.

Devin:
I snapped a good picture of the women and said "Ok, got your picture. Im going to walk around and see who else wants thier picture taken." I started to walk away, hoping to find that girl-Amanda-she seemed nice, maybe I would bump into her another time.

Mary Anne: And now, it was the time for the awkward turtle! He had actually been talking to Katie! "Sorry!" I muttered, then walked over to Amanda. "Your timing couldn't have been better, Amanda!" I exclaimed. "The ball is soon, and the competition! Are you and Celtic Song competing?"

OOC: Hotspot I LOVE the new video! Especially the siggies of our guys!! Sydney: It seemed that deciding who adopted which horse was going to take some time. Time I didn't have. Training for this race was going to be tough, and I was being sidetracked by boys and horses. On second thought I've got all the time I need. I rested against the side of the corral taking in everything around me. Milly was showing signs of being a horse whisperer, Leigh was discussing her work/research, someone I had not yet met was taking pictures, Katie was paying for the wild horses until they could be found permanent homes and I was basking in the moment. Sam didn't need to be trained, he knew what I wanted of him, June would school me back into shape and maybe, just maybe there was a silver lining to this cloud. I smiled at the thought of how perfect life was. I walked over to Katie & Leigh, "Do you suppose when the bay mare is released that I could watch? I've never seen anything like it before and I don't want to miss my chance."

Amanda:
Mary Anne had walked up to me and told me how I had come back on time for everything. She had asked if I was competeing with Celtic Song. I thought. I had not really had much time to do much training with Celtic Song. Celtic was wild and she had only been trained to trust me, other than that she had no idea at all how to jump or anything. I said to Mary Anne "Acualley, no I wont be competing with Celtic Song. I am leasing one of Katie's horses at Sterling stables, and im thinking of buying him. But I will be competing with that horse"

OOC: thanks, mia! it was a fun one! and as for the guy sigs, whoever wants them can just pm me... i wasn't sure who would like them! Leigh: "of course. i'll go back to Willow Springs for now, and contact you after your big ball's done." i said with a smile to the very familiar girl. "but i'd best be off- enjoy your competition!" the poor dark bay would have to stay here with her herd- i hadn't thought to bring a trailer, such was my rush. "Goodbye."
Owen: Leigh was about to leave, and i still hadn't officially pronounced my resignation of claim over one of the sorrels. i decided to bring it up with Sydney. "So, which sorrel would you like?"

BLU, YOU DID NOT SIGN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!! Mary Anne: "Which horse, Amanda?" I asked, interested. I had met some of the beautiful leasing horses; in fact, that was where I had found Little Miss Butterfly! "And what event?"
I waved goodbye to Ms. Tillotson as she sped away. A BLM agent sympathetic with the mustangs would be a tough job, but one that I would relish. At least some parts- it would kind of destroy the image of the upholder of the law if, after seeing mustangs fighting their corral fences for freedom, I went into a corner and cried, as I was apt to do. I thought of my friends- we could all potentially end up in horse-related jobs, and that sounded wonderful!

Mary Anne: "Cool! I've seen him runnign in the pasture, he's gorgeous!" I exclaimed of Amanda's horse. Then, the photographer came up and asked if he could take our pictures. "Sure, now that you ask me!" I said.
