Dr. Scott:
I laughed lightly. "I'm glad that all of you kids are so concerned about your horses." I said. "But, in this case, sand impaction is a form of colic that is neither communicable or quick to strike. Just watch your horses for signs of hyperventilation, distended abdomens, or any other things way out of the ordinary. I really doubt that the other mustangs will contract it, though- all sand impaction is is a ball of sand lodged in the intestine. horses get it from grazing where there is little grass but much dirt or sand." i gazed around me at the lush, verdant fields of Berryhill Stables. "They're in no danger of getting it right here, but i'll give you a special oil supplement to add to their food, just in case. now, to heal this lovely." I filled my syringe with the synbiotic and injected it into the mare's neck. "now, it might take a few minutes to kick in, but i'd go elsewhere if i were you. it's not pretty, getting that sand...out."

Caden:
"ill take her down to the forest and into one of the meadows." i said grabbing for the lead rope. i looked over at Alex. she was on her new red dun mare i had got her. i smiled to her. she blushed, i blushed. as i neared the lead rope more. i heard boots crunch out of the paddock. "can i take her?" said a voice. i looked over Miley was standing outside of the paddock. immediately Crown Jewel pointed her ears forward. she nickered to Miley and her head bounced in her direction. Miley had her arm across her middle and her hand was holding onto her one arm. she was blushing as well. "its nice to see you too Jewel." she said. i lifted the lead rope up over Jewel's neck and then released it. Jewel trotted off towards the paddock gate. but she soon stopped looked at her side, shook and walked off again. "that is one strong mare." i said.
Miley:
as Jewel stopped at the gate, i opened it and then grabbed the lead rope. i closed the gate, and i looked over the shoulder at everyone who had helped my horse. i smiled, and then my eyes laid on Owen, i looked away and then looked at Jack. i blushed and then turned to walk away to the meadow to relax with my mare. i whistled and Dream cantered off. the stallion then jumped over the paddock fence and cantered over to me and Jewel. he slowed to a walk as he neared us. as he neared me he nuzzled the back of my neck and Jewel and him were touching noses. "i love you guys too," i said in a very low whisper, "and Jack."

Mike:
I was relieved that Jewel was going to be ok. We'd still need to keep a close eye on the other horses just in case.
I was still in the back of my mind contemplating which horse to ride this evening for the grand entrance.
For now though, Taz needed to get cracken, I'd been sidetracked this morning so now I was running a bit behind.
"I'm going to give Taz a brief work on the track, anyone care to join me?" I said as I started for the tack room.

Justin:
"i will. Quest hasnt gotten ridden in a while. is it ok if i bring Leather n' Lace. she usually always comes with Quest." i said and begun walking with Mike back to the barn. i looked over my shoulder Alex was standing near Caden blushing and Caden was talking to her. he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, she turned the same color as her mustang mare.

Owen:
"Ballerina could use a good run." I said, as i watched Miley and crown Jewel make their way into the woods. I was glad that all was well that ended well- for now, at least. I followed Mike and Justin into the stables, and Ballinasloe Ballerina poked her majestic head over the dutch door of her stall with anticipation. "How's my girl?" I asked her. Ballerina nickered in reply, already prancing. I grabbed one of the grooming trays from the tack room and commenced to use a spiral brush to rid my mare's copper-bronze-mahogany colored coat of dust and hay. "So, who here's excited to wear a tux on horseback?"

Mike:We had reached the barn and I was just grabbing Taz's tack and a few grooming supplies. "Could be interesting, I'm pretty excited about it. You?" I said, grabbing Taz's lead and heading down the aisle. Lucky for me, Taz was right here at the tack room. I sat the saddle and bridle down before opening the door and stepping inside. "Hey big guy! Ready to knock 'em dead?" Taz whinnied and then nodded, shoving his head into my chest. "Me too, okay stand still now so I can clean you up a bit." I ran the brush over him quickly before stepping out to grab the saddle. Only I'd forgotten to close the door behind me, Taz stepped out as I bent over to pick up his tack. Before I knew what was happening he nudged me in the back knocking me over. "Wha...!" I started tumbling onto my side, I rolled to break my fall and looked up to see Taz starring. One look into his eyes was all I needed to know that he was laughing at me. "Ha-ha, very funny Taz." I said jumping up and dusting my self off. I stepped toward him nudging him back. "Pay back!" I cheered. Taz just rolled his eyes.

Justin:
"im not." i said. "i dont think i can ride in a tux, i much rather before jeans." i said quickly hooking Quest lead rope onto his halter and then grooming him. once he glowed. i tied him up and then began to groom his daughter. she gleamed in the dim light and she pranced around as i started to put on Quest's gear. "ready to go guys," i said and i said in a lower tone and looked at Lace, "and girl."

Mike:
I quickly groomed Taz and tacked him up. Since I was using his racing saddle, I hopped onto his back without stirrups.
"Aw, come on Justin, it can't be that bad!"

Owen:
I laughed. "Hey, it could be worse. Milton could have gone for a theme ball- like making us all where suits of armor, or togas, or something awful like that! At least tuxes aren't too far removed from breeches and boots." I opened Ballerina's stall door, swung aboard, and trotted her out into the aisle. "ready to go?"

Mike:
"Too true!" I said with a laugh. It could be fun, riding all dressed up.
I slipped my toes into my stirrups and adjusted the reins. "All set."

Jack:
I sighed a great sigh whenever it turned out that Miley's horse was okay and smiled at Caden and Alex then moved by them heading toward Miley. I came up behind her and hugged her tightly. "What a relief, huh?" I asked as I stepped back smiling down at her. "I'm sorry I didn't come see how you were after you left, but I some how felt you would want me watching over Jewel than leaving to see how you were." I said my face showing my genuineness in what had said. As I looked down at her a felt a wave of protection and love go over me as I absently rubbed Jewel between the eyes.
Kale:
I watched as Jack totally forgot everyone else when he whent over and spoke to Miley and smiled slightly. He had it bad, bad enough that I could see it. Shaking my head I went over and pulled myself up into Wolves saddle and nudged him toward Sterling. "Speaking of having it bad, I'm due to be over to see my date for the ball." I mumbled grinning as my mind turned to Milly.

Miley:
"its ok, i kinda wanted to be alone. and thanks for watchin over Jewel." i said to him. i blushed back at him. "would you like to come with me?" i asked as he gave Jewel a good pat between the eyes. "oh and her favorite spot is right when her mane and neck meet." i said and began to scratch under her long and tangled mane. she twisted her neck towards the pressure and let out a groan. "we can ride double on Dream. i dont think he minds." i said.
