Devin:
I got my camera ready and snapped a picture of the girl. "Ok, I got your picture" I said.

Jack: I had been hanging back out of the group watching every thing that had been going on came forward when every one was done with the mustangs. "Miss Katie?" I called and jogged over to her. "Shouldn't we be training sometime soon?" I asked looking around then back to her.
Kale: A new girl and guy arrived. The girl's name was Amanda, the guy's hadn't metioned yet. I came forward putting out my hand to the guy. "Kale." I said waiting for him to shake it.
Milly: I sighed and sat down looking across the way to where my new horse stood watching everything. "Ah, Dancer you are going to be a handfull aren't you?" As I said her name she looked at me and nickered deeply. I got up nad walked over to her noticing as I did that Kale was already checking out the compition. I shook my head and smiled at Dancer. "If only you were broke, I bet we could leave them all in our dust." She nuzzled my neck then grabbed my shirt tasting it. I pulled it out of her mouth causing her teeth to click when it came out, then laughed at her insulted look. "Well you shouldn't go around nibbling on things, silly."

Miley:
i walked into the paddock and called for Crown Jewel. she came and following her was the Chestnut Yearling. i rose onto my tip toes, and whispered in Crown Jewel's ear, 'Layali Paloma.' i then walked over to the Chestnut Yearling. "heyy Focus Flair. you are going to be a fun and easy colt or hard to handle?" i asked the colt. "you are going to be hard to handle i bet. it says so in your eyes." i petted his poll and he seemed not to care. he put his head down and grazed.
Caden:
Alex and i drove to Berryhill. as we drove nearer and nearer i could see the Berryhill driveway. we pulled in and i parked the car. Alex was out before me and i followed behind her a little slower. i walked over to i think was Katie Sterling and Milton Berryhill. i looked over at Alex who was taking in all the sites of the huge barn. "howdy Miss Sterling, i am Caden Buck, Justin's older brother. and this," i said as Alex walked up next to me and stood by my side with her hand in mine, "is Alexandra Brawling, Miley's older sister." i said to Miss Sterling as Mr. Berryhill walked over.

Jack: I saw a vehicle pull in with a horse trailer and a boy and girl got out heading over to where I stood with Miss Sterling. The boy introduced them as Miley and Justin's siblings and I smiled at them in a friendly manner trying to find the likeness between Miley and the girl.

Theo: Now that Ms Tillotson was gone, it seemed liek it was more appropriate to treat the horses as ours- Milly, Miley, and the others were talking with their new steeds like old friends. "Hey there, girl!" I said, peering through the fence at my dun filly. I ha dhad a good friend, named Adam Ely, who once told me that the surest way to bond with a horse was to give it a secret name. Man, Theo, what a sissy you're becoming! I thought to myself. First, I told the girl that I liked that I wanted to name a horse Asthore (Sweetheart!), now I was whispering powerful horse-bonding mumbo-jumbo into that horse's ear... oh well, I did want this filly, didn't I? During my musings, the filly had approached silently, and I was startled when I felt a nose whuffling my hair. before she could dart away again, I whispered, "Sraddagh," pronouncing it like SRA-dah. It meant 'Little spark of Fire' in Gaelic.

OOC: Ack! We're busy with VBS (vacation bible school) (prep week ) So please excuse my absences. I can only make it on once a day and have to make the most of it. Sydney: I replied to Owen, "I think probably the red sorrel mare. 'Course that's hard to say since I like them both. I like any horse really!" I said the last part with a chuckle. "Back home, when the youngsters didn't take to the track I schooled them into riding horses and we sold them to good homes. Thats actually how I got started in eventing. A man was looking at buying one of our horses that I had trained to jump a few fences. He told me that I had a natural talent, and so did the horse. That horse was Ike." I paused remember the first competition Ike and I had entered. It was just a small affair and I was used to the pressure of racing so it didn't bother me. Ike was cool as a cucumber, no wonder we came out on top. I turned back to Owen, "What can you tell me about Michael Vaughn?" I asked. boys+horses+competition+ball= perfect romance. Did I just admit to falling in love!?!OOC: Wow, nice long post! I was on a roll!!!!

Owen: I laughed. "He's a great guy," i said, hiding my grin. Mikey had a guuurlfriend! "He's good with horses, loves that crazy Taz to death, and is an amazing rider as well." i could hide my grin no longer... "and he has a soft spot for famous girls." i decided to split before Mike got wind of what i'd said... otherwise, i might get a swirlie in the water trough. "see you later!" i called with a wave. if Mike was romantically engaged for the ball, there was no reason that i shouldn't be... you only live once, so i bridled Ballerina and took off bareback, cantering cross-copuntry towards a meadow i had once found. i needed a bit of time to think.
Katie: i pretended to hit myself over the head. "Oh, thank you ever so much for reminding me, Jack! we have a massive competition coming up!" i laughed. "we probably should start practicing- you go tell Mr. B. that, and i'll toat all these dresses back to my stable."

Mary Anne: I hadn't even chose my dress yet- PANIC! I sprinted inside, to whrere Picky was sittling, looking put out that we had chosen horses over her dresses- was there ever any contest? I spied a beautiful, iridescent violet gown with an off-the-shoulder bodice and silver filigree-like beading. "I'll take that one!" I proclaimed, without even trying it on.

Miley:
i had heard my name and something about dresses. omg! i hadnt picked out my dress. seeing Mary Anne run inside as well i followed. i ran in and looked at the tan dresses. i saw one that caught my eye. it was tan and blue. it was perfect! "Mrs. Picky i would like this one." i said holding up the dress. she nodded her head and i ran back outside. out of breath i came to stand by Katie. "here Katie i got my dress." i said huffing. i looked over on the otherside of the group and saw Caden and Alex. "Alex? ALEX!!" i screamed and started jumping up and down. i jumped over to her and i hugged. "i have missed you soo much!" i screamed some more. "i cant believe you are here! what horse did you bring?" i asked settling down a little.
Alex:
i saw Miley sprint inside and then run out with a dress. she screamed and then hopped over to me. i stayed calm and hugged my little sister. "i have missed you too. oh i brought a very sweet Quarter Horse named Nutmeg. she is lives over at Perfect Harmony, but guess who is buying her?!? me! well actually Caden is giving her to me as a gift." i said leaning over onto my boyfriend. "and Caden brought an appaloosa. he was sold to Perfect Harmony from Sweet Breeze, ya know Jay Jay's ranch. well anyway the geldings name is Happy Appy. he is soo cool. i have to talk to Miss Sterling about boarding over at her place." i said walking off with Miss Sterling to her car.
Justin:
i ducked behind Eagle as my older brother pulled in with his girlfriend. but i was going on a ride with my date/girlfriend. "so are you ready to go Francesca," i said as i handed over Rascal's reins. she nodded her head and we mounted up. i looked over my shoulder at my brother hoping he wouldnt see me. "ready to go?" i asked. i looked over again and Caden saw me on Eagle Spirit. he began walking over to me, but i had already started Eagle into a ground eating jog. Francesca followed behind a little. i looked back again and saw Caden shoeing me off like i was a pesky fly. he then turned around and walked over to Mr. Berryhill.

Trillium: "sure..." i swung into the saddle. it seemed huge compared to my tiny dressage saddle. the pretty appaloosa with the nondescript name seemed like a good horse, and i gave his neck a pat, mostly to instill confidence in myself. "ready when you are!" but Justin had already took off for the hills, apparebtly to escape his older brother. i urged my mount into a canter to catch up, glad that i could at least surpass a trot.

Jack: I smiled and nodded. "Yes, ma'am." i replied and jogged over to where Mr. Berryhill stood. "Mr. Berryhill, sir? Miss Katie says that she's going over to drop off the dresses and then we'll all begin training." I relayed to him then caught a flash seeing Justin rinding off with the new girl and his brother start toward them. He didn't even stop just kept going. I raised my brows in surprise and blinked a few times. I shrugged as his brother waved him off then as he walked back to Miley and her sister's side.
Kale: I shook his hand smiling. "Nice to meet you, Devin. So do you just take pictures or are you competiter also?" I asked smiling.

Sydney: I blushed at what Owen had said about Mike having a soft spot for famous girls. Watching him ride off, I overheard Katie say that it was time to train for the competition. Immediately I want from Romantic mode to Serious competitor mode. I stood with my back straight, I pulled my hair behind my ears and decided I'd start with a warm up on June before taking Sam out. "I'll be heading back to Sterling, I'd like to warm up on June in the arena if that's the arena can hold all of these winning horses and their riders!" I exclaimed, "Go Sterling! Whoohoo!"

Milly: I got up and jogged over to Syney. "Mind if I come with you?" I asked stopping beside her as grabbed her horse. "I need to train also. Lyra hasn't been ridden since Jack got hurt and I need to work her."
Jack: I turned to Miss Katie and smiled. "Ma'am I have a doctors appointment in half an hour to get this cast takin off and then I'll be fit as can." I said and smiled. "Hopefully he says I can ride." I said as I walked off to get into the truck I'd driven over.

Sydney: "Sure Milly, let's go. Bye everyone! See you at Sterling!" With that, I walked over to the hitching rail that I had tied June at. I untied her reins, took my helmet from the post as well and mounted. I turned June out to the opening and walked her in short circles to loosen any stiffness she might have from being tied for so long. "Are you ready Milly?" I called.
