Pheobie sighed softly looking at the bruises on her arms then turned off the ights and went to bed, falling asleep almost instantly

**New Day**

Anthony awoke at 9am and changed into some casual clothes. He had some porridge for breakfast, sitting at the cherrywood table, he looked out the window at the sun that snuck through the mauve curtains. The boy noticed a light frost over the grass and stable roof and grabbed a jumper. He slipped it on and put on his boots, preparing for another cold day.

Pheobie woke up not long after Anthony and she got ready. She had breakfast, cleaned her teeth, and then she slipped on some clothes. Her blue jodphurs and a thin black long sleeved shirt. She was used to the cold but mainly didn't want to show her bruises. She went and did her hair in the bathroom. She pulled it back into a low ponytail. When all her hair was moved from her face she noticed two cuts. One from the middle of her right cheek leading to near her ear and another at the base of her neck. Phe sighed and then put her boots on and walked outside, locking her cabin. She walked down to the stables, over to Khalil Zukor. The stablehands had already fed the horses their breakfast at 7. She went and grabbed some brushes, walking into his stall she started grooming him as he stood there, watching her.

She continued to ask for a collected walk around the arena, allowing Silver Gold to stretch and warm up in walk first. She then squeezed for a trot, to allow the mare to warm her muscles more fluidly. She knew how important the Halflinger's care was, especially as she did not own her, only leasing her for the holidays. That thought made Melody sigh involuntarily, she dreamed about owning a horse as magnificent as Silver Gold...

Silver Gold moved into an easy trot when a cat bounded out past her, spooking her and Silver Gold stopped dead in her tracks, jerking her head before shying away.

lkbrox Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:16 am

Melody was slightly unseated but mannaged to keep herself in the saddle. She didn't blame Silver Gold as she knew some riders did, instead she stroked the mare reassuringly and told the cat to scram. "It's alright Silver Gold, I didn't see it either," she murmered to the palomino beneath her.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:19 am

Silver Gold, stood a little shaken but she shook it off and glanced at the cat nervously as it disappeared but she contnued trotting, lowering her head and shaking her mane. She wasn't as comfortable now she was shaken up.

lkbrox Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:23 am

Melody could feel Silver Golds nervousness and asked the mare to slow. Once at a walk she gave her her head, dropping all contact with the reins, she wanted the mare to relax and then, only then, would she ask her to concentrate. Melody knew the benifits of not having your horse worry about every blind corner.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:38 am

Silver raised her head high, looking around nervously but after a while, when she noticed nothing was coming back out she relaxed, her head dropping

lkbrox Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:51 am

Melody smiled then gathered her reins, not waiting before asking for a trot. She clicked with her tongue and squeezed once, feeling the lively mare respond. After a circle or two she sat deep and asked for a canter, she knew it would be wonderful, she could just tell.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:55 am

Silver Gold easilty went into the trot and when Melody sat deep in the saddle and asked for a canter Silver Gold's strides changed into an elegant, graceful and absolutely comfortable canter.

Anthony walked outside and started heading towards Blade's stall, grabbing an apple from the canteen on the way. He was soon already there. He walked in, "Hey boy," The boy murmured softly and extrended the apple in the palm of his hand. It was all red and shiny, waiting to be eaten. He stepped forward and gently stroked the gelding's face with his other free hand.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:16 am

Blade gobbled the apple then nudged the boy thoughtfully.

Phe then - once she finished grooming him - she cleaned out his stall and gave him fresh water.

**HollywoodUnicorn** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:23 am

Anthony stripped the rug off Blade and chuckled slightly as he nudged him and folded it up, putting it back on the shelf. Blade's coat was a bit sweaty. He stared at him thoughfully and grabbed a halter and slipped it over his head and attatched a lead rope onto it, leading him out of the stable.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:25 am

Blade pricked his ears as Anthony slipped the halter on and then attached the lead and he pranced out the stall when he opened the door.

**HollywoodUnicorn** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:28 am

Anthony led him outside and tied him up to a fence. He grabbed a bucket and filled it up with soap and water then carried it over to Blade and started to lather him up in bubble.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:32 am

Blade whinnied and threw his head up playfully then when he was nearly covered in soap, he shook himself, getting soap all over Anthony and he nickered in laughter

**HollywoodUnicorn** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:38 am

Anthony shook his head, half smiling at the playful horse. He grabbed the hose and started to wash the soap off his bubbly coat.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:41 am

Blade pricked his ears looking at Anthony, watching what he was doing.

lkbrox Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:46 am

Melody loved Silver golds canter immediately. She cantered a while then decided they'd done enough for today. She sponged the reins in half halt, asking for walk and once Silver Gold responded, she allowed her to cool down on a long rein.

**HollywoodUnicorn** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:50 am

Anthony was careful not to spray the water any higher than Blade's neck incase he got him in the face. He grinned at the horse and cut the water as he noticed no more soap.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:53 am

Blade shook himself off, his hooves slipping slightly on the wet ground but he caught himself and then he grabbed the hose in his jaw, yanking it away from Anthony and whinnying playfully

**HollywoodUnicorn** Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:57 am

Anthony laughed and shook his head, starting to scrape the water off Blade's coat whilst watching a girl and Haflinger in the arena. They were quite graceful looking when they worked together.

**Pinto** Mon Jan 18, 2010 4:09 am

Blade dropped the hose and watched Anthony

Silver Gold slowed to a walk without hesitation and she hung her head low, breathing in deep.

lkbrox Mon Jan 18, 2010 4:40 am

Melody sat contently as they cooled down and once she was sure that the mares' muscles were cooled suffiecently she hopped off and led Silver Gold from the arena to untack.
