Marissa & Summer Storm Take a Ride [Open]

[Snowflake]

Marissa mounted Summer Storm, cooing to him quietly. He was a big, strong, dappled-grey thoroughbred, but he could be nervous in strange places. She touched her heels to his side and softened he grip on the reins, giving him a clear signal to walk forward. He did so, his walk a smooth, calming gait. She stroked him gently, steering him to the cool shade of the trees and the soft surface of the dirt trail. They listened to the chirping and tweeting of the birds fluttering overhead, and felt their hair flowing with the slight breeze. They could smell the sweet scent of the pine trees and the aroma of the wildflowers growing on either side of the trail. This was surely a beautiful place. Marissa smiled in a relaxed fashion and let the reins loosen a little, allowing Storm to stretch his neck.

Emily trotted into the trail on Mystical Sunrise, then slowed her to a walk as they approached the other horse. "Hey!" she called "I'm Emily, do you mind if we join you?" she said allowing the young mare to walk quietly on a loose reign.

Marissa twisted in the saddle to see a pretty chestnut horse and a girl much like herself. "No, of course not. Storm and I would be glad to make some new friends!" she smiled. "I'm Marissa, and this is my gorgeous boy, Summer Storm."

[faxline]

"Thanks" she said, "and this Mysical Sunrise."

[Snowflake]

"Thoroughbred? She certainly looks like it. This guy is too, but he isn't much of a racer. A bit on the heavy side. I might get him into eventing when my sister gets her horse, Bank On Silver, into it. I'm going to enrol him in a training center. Oh sorry..I'm sort of thinking out loud." she apologized, giving Emily a smile.

[faxline]

"Yeah she's Thoroughbred. She's done pretty well so far, but i've just started her so who knows." Emily said smiling back at her.

[Snowflake]

"Lucky you! My other two, Lux and Gold, they are doing okay. Storm only had his first start a week ago, and he's four. It's a bit late for him to get really involved in racing now, but i hope he takes eventing by storm." she laughed at her own joke, but realising it was stupid, quickly stopped.

[faxline]

"Thanks" she said. "And good luck with eventing, he looks like he's got the body to do it." she said watching Summer Storm's muscular shoulders flex as he walked.

Shannon led her quarter horse up towards the other two horses. Midnight Mist was a beautiful brown horse with a beautiful gate. "Do you mind if i join this little trail ride?" Shannon said as she approached the two riders.

bic|: "Oh no, you can join us." Marissa gave the new rider a smile. "I'm Marissa, and this is my horse Summer Storm." she gave Storm a pat on the neck

"Hey i'm Emily, and this is Mystical Sunrise" Emily said smiling at the girl.

"Hi, im Shannon and this is my baby Midnight Mist, Misty for short...." Shannon said to the other girls. Shannon gave Misty a pat.
