Welcome home, Rabia

[euphoria]

Katie sat on the passenger seat as her father backed the red Chevy, and trailer into the driveway. Her heart raced as she saw her mare peer from a window of her trailer. She twisted her body to stare back at the horse. Rabia nickered nervously. It was apparent that she wanted to go back to her temporary home in the Nobles' backyard with the movable shelter. Katie almost banged her head on the glass when the truck stopped abruptly in a parking spot. Rabia neighed and threw her head up.

"Katie, I'll go find Ms. Bennet while you unload Rib. Okay?"
"Okay Dad."

She jumped out of the truck, slammed the door, and jogged towards the front door of the trailer. Katie went up the steps, opened the door, and looked at her horse. Rabia nickered in her general direction. Katie unhooked the chain from the mare's halter, grabbed a neon orange leadrope from inside the truck's trunk, and clipped it on her horse. She turned the horse around, and shouted at her father.

"Hey Dad, can you please open the trailer door?"
"Okay Hun."

The door opened in front of them, and she pushed the metal swing infront of them. She led her horse out, and trotted her a bit on the concrete. Her father was already gone to look fr the owner of the farm. Katie just waited.

Annie pushed back her blonde wavy curled hair, her blue eyes scanned the paper infront of her as she read the lease agreement paper for one of the ponies at the farm. "I here by declare Clarice Patrick lease Milky Way..." She shooked her head taking the earacer and earacing what she had written writing it over once again. "There." She said aloud as she read it over again then smirked before placing it in a vailnella folder with the ponies name on the front of it as with a photograph. The sound of tire tracks coming up the drive could be heard from the main office where she was seated in her comfortable chair in the heated hang out looking room. The tv was on and Hunter layed sprawled out on the couch facing the tv. His long golden coat lay limpless as he snored.

Layla rolled the wheele barrel out of Monte's stall her back facing the drive as she heard a truck out front pulling in. Her first thought was that Keith was here and she turned the wheel barrel around to check but saw a horse trailer and truck with unknown people in it. Layla figure they were new boarders and put down the pitch fork she had been holding setting it againest the wall and glad she had just finished. She picked up the wheel barrel and wheeled it down the isle towards the manure pile in back. A stable hand had already shoveled their way out to the manure pile and she was glad as she went over the icey patches of grass and ice with some stone and gravel here in there. She dumped the manure then brought the wheel barrel back to the utility shed before grabbing the pitch fork and putting it in there as well. She strolled back into the main barn shutting the door to Monte's stall and walking towards the office.

"Annie, someones here." She said as she opened the office door and a old english golden retriever brought his head up and started barking as he jumped off the couch and limped his way fast as he could out of the office and down the isle of the barn towards the horse trailer and truck. "Okay, thanks." Annie said as she put the folder away not looking up before pushing her way out of her desk and shutting the laptop on her desk. "Be there in a minute" she said as she walked out and Layla nodded leaving the door open as she followed the golden out of the barn. She waved with a smile as two other dogs came from opposite ways barking and following Hunter. The newest addition a young border collie walked timidly towards the truck and trailer before yelping at the horse coming out of the trailer and retreating behind the legs of Layla. Layla smile as she took a hand and glided it across the dogs black and white fur.

Annie strolled out of the barn, putting her hands in her black northface jacket as she smiled and stood next to Layla watching father and daughter unload the horse. "Welcome to Greenridge!" She called after they unloaded the horse she walked down towards them offering a hand to the father then the girl. "I'm Anne Bennet." She smiled warmly before catching hold of Rascal the young puggle's colar holding her back from the horses feet. Old Hunter stood from a distance back where Layla stood.

As Anne approached, Katie stopped her mare. A little puppy sprung out behind Katie all of a sudden. Rabia reared, turning from Katie and galloping several feet away from the little wolf-dog. Katie caught Banshee right in time before she ran off after the horse.

"Ban! I didn't know you came here! Little devil." Katie said adoringly at the little puppy. She stuffed her inside her bag in the car and shut the door. Rabia trotted away as Katie came. Katie grunted and walked away. Rabia walked towards Katie. Katie walked towards Rabia again, holding her hand out. Rabia trotted away. Katie walked close to her, and held her hand out. Rabia came and sniffed it. Katie grabbed the lead rope and patted her mare.

"Sorry. My crazy animals just interrupt anything. Nice to meet you Anne, I'm Katie Noble."

Katie chuckled out the first part of her greeting. She held her available hand out to Anne. Smiling brightly. Her brown hair was displaced, and her tee-shirt messed up with several pieces of hay stuck on. Her tee-shirt had a picture of a horse jumping off a cliff and it said "Leap of Faith." She wore blue jeans that tightly wrapped around her legs, and Muck boots. The equestrian kind.

Conrad whined as she retreated into the barn, sitting down in the middle of the isle towards the door and watching while Rascal lazily ran after her play mate her little tail wagging wildly as she followed him and begna to playfully bite him and jump on him. The border collie whined again laying down and letting the puggle puppy play on him. Annie watched the girl walk over with her horse, but a sudden reaction to a pup jumping out behind her luckily not rascal made the mare scoop and gallop away. Annie watched for a minute as the girl retreated the horse. She might be a problem. She thought as she smiled warmly as the girl introduced herself.

"Its quite alright, we've got lots here." She said jokingly as she offered her hand towards the mares muzzle letting her sniff it if she'd like. "So whats the new recruits name?" She asked with slight humor as she looked towards the horse then Katie. Layla patted Hunters golden head as she looked towards the truck and trailer before walking back into the barn. A bay arabian mares dished face revealed itself over one of the stall doors, she gave a shrill whinny before pawing the ground and Layla shook her head as she walked over. "No pawing, Fance." She said sternly before grabbing the halter and lead on the door and slipping the lock before walking in and hurriedly getting the mare ready to go outside.

She put the mares purple nylon paddock blanket on cinching it in places before walking her out of the stall and down the isle towards the new horse and the small gathering was. She looked away down the gravel path towards the paddock and walked Fancy towards hers where a small buckskin pony was eating some hay and every once in a while snorting loudly as snow would get in his nostrils. Layla took off the halter lead and let Fancy in before latching the gate closed and walking back towards the small gathering.

Layla walked up to where Hunter was lazily leaning on Annie's leg while Annie talked to the new girl and her horse. She smiled as she stood beside her and the girl introduced herself to Annie.

-wow can you say no muse for human roleplay right now?-
