Loren walked down to a stall that said 'Apollo'
She smiled as her hand across the plate. Moving the latch to unlock the stall door, Laur opened it slightly. Jumping back a bit because Apollo spooked at her appearance. "Shh..It's ok boy. Puttng her hand on his face and rubbing it a bit.
"Like it here buddy? Well you better, cause we are not leaving." She laughed a bit when he shook his head. Loren made sure his water bucket was full before he got a treat from her pocket. Her tack was sitting on door waiting for her but she ignored it. Picking up a curry comb she brushed his back in circles. He enjoyed it alot as he lifted his head in the air.
Laur put the curry down and then the stiff. He was pretty dusty as he rolls in his stalls a lot. Well...Almost everyday he gets the chance. Making sure the dust had all been off of his coat. That had taken up almost 20 minutes. Luar grabbed the soft brush carefully. Only because there was a butterfly she didn't want to harm.
"Aww,boy. Your coat will be all nice and shiny for a perfect ride." she said while a brush went across his neck. Again, again, and again. Until that side was all neat. Then walking to the other side to do the same. Take the soft brush over his body, again and again. Grooming Apollo was something Loren could do all day if she could.
When that came to an end she had to pick out his hoofs. Something she dreaded. Only because he didn't pick up his feet, they were very heavy, and the mud was always packed in with rocks. Digging the pick into the mud she sighed a little bit, trying to hold up Apollos leg. "Why did you grow?" she complained. Going back through about 4 times just to make sure nothing was there. His long mane was already brushed out so she pretty much
was done with grooming. "Ok, bud. Your boots must be in the...tack room with your bridle...Right? Well. Let's just but your saddle on and I will check in a minute."
Putting on his white saddle pad she made sure it was in the right spot.
Or he would make her mad later. Her black saddle fit snugged right on the pad. "Oh shoot...I forgot your half pad. Taking the saddle off and replacing it with
a smaller pad in the front. putting the saddle back on she smiled as it fit better. Loren had known he was girthy so she made sure it was not tight enough so he would flip. But she would check it in the arena of course. Making sure his halter was on she left him there. Laur had closed the door behind her so he could not get out. As he has in the past. "Stay!" She spoke as if he was a dog. Loren had walked down into a tack room. "Ahh...There it is." She picked up the black boots and black bridle and walked back down. She laughed as she watched him try to open the door with his muzzle. "You little butt head." She said. The door was latched closed and he could not get out. While walking back a bird had flew in front of her. She yelped a bit and fell down.
