~~.:.~~ If Wishes Were Horses We All Would Ride. ~~.:.~~
*Walking down a dirt road you look to either side of you and see a mixture of fields and woods, lined by wood fencing sturdy enough to keep a herd of horses in. As you walk you begin to see the horses, a few at first then as you continue on the herd grows larger all a mix of different types and breeds.
Without realizing it you walk up an old drive way and look around. You first see a beautiful old barn, painted green and white with trees and grass growing around it, looking inviting to sit and chat with others.
Next to it is several riding rings, one large, two medium, and three smaller ones. Each fenced off from the others. Each was in different stages of uses. The large one was completely made into soft dirt, the two mediums has some grass left in the middle of the rings with the out side dirt, and the last three were all grass showing that they were just made.
Turning around you see a garden, well maintained next to a chicken coop that had a fence running around it to keep the chickens from wandering except one which was pecking around the garden. It was a white and black roster who was moving oddly.
As you continue to turn around you realize you are standing in front of an old farm house, much older then the barn. It was quite large and blocked most of your view of what was behind it.
Standing right on the porch watching you was a man. He stood 6'5 with his hands in his pockets as he watched you. Guessing at his age you would say its 22 and just may own the farm you happen to be stand in the middle of.
"Welcome there stranger, you look lost, but everyone that comes here is only lost once." He looks you over and waits a moment but as you are speechless he continues "Well this here is If Wishes Were Horses We All Would Ride Ranch, but we here just call it the Ranch. Now I have some space for you in the bunk houses if you need it. Or if you want to get right up on the horse I'll take you on to the barn and get you set up, or are you bring your own in later?"
*He comes down the stairs and tips his hat towards the barn. "We have more then enough for all your needs."

*Sitting on the steps of his home Nero looked around at his familys home. He had grown up here and due to some misgivings his parents retired and his siblings moved on to the city whiping there hands of the ranching life.
Looking over to the barn in the shade of one of its trees stood a large stud calmly grazing away flicking the flys with the swich of his tail.
Standing Nero made his way over and patted his favorite horse.*
"Your a good boy aren't you." The warmth of horse flesh eased his tention away. He didn't need to worry about Convoy, he would stay around the farm and come when called with a whistle. "It is lonly around here and I hope that ad in the newspaper brings some folk out to the Ranch."
*Flooping down under the tree, Nero put his hands behind his head and watched as some little birds fluttered about.*

Skye opened the stall door the bolt sliding smoothly away as she stepped into Kytes stall. she patted the dappled grey mares neck affectionatly before slipping the black rope halter over her small nose. Kytes neat hooves quietly clip clopped down the aisle down towards the padocks. As they emerged from the barn Skye turned left towards the small side paddock by the river opening the gate and slipping the halter off before closing the gate behind her. she didnt have much to do as there where only three horses at the moment and everything was up to date the feed was being delivered tomorro, the farrier coming on tuesday and each horses files where in order. Skye sat in the grass leaning against the fence post watching kyte rolling happily.

*Having fallen asleep he woke with a start when Convoy blew his nose over him. Sitting up in time to see the new Barn manger take her horse out. Standing and wiping his face, Nero went over to speak with her.*
"So hows Kias setteling in? The barn not making her nervous I hope." He asked leaning in beside her with one foot on the bottom rail. Convoy had followed him from the shade of the tree and gave the new mare a whinny.

turns to face the voice. "Kyte's alright but i think i might need to keep her outside cause she isnt used to being outside or maybe move her to the end stall so she can see."
Kyte turned her grey rump around so that she was facing the other horse. then without warning she raced along the fence line with her ears flat back against her head before sliding to a stop infront of Skye.

Raven tassle flickered lightly in irritation as brown optics gazed delicately upon the blurred form of a young woman. Her presence lingered near for a few hours now, what seemed like forever for this young stallion. He grew tired of capturing her gaze, but knew, only from routine, that it would not last much longer. Knowing this, the male patiently waited until his "friend" would soon depart, a moment he would cherish, until it was time for him to be alone once again. She was his only company, and even if her presence was a nuisance, he was glad she was there... sometimes. He whinnied playfully at the girl, his dial now turn directly upon her, forelock tilted down as he strided towards her, almost as if he was asking for some sort of attention. He knickered again, this time as he noticed what the girl had been doing for so long. Dark hued eyes glistened as his faded but muscular sillhouette was sketched in led. A spitting image... or so he thought.
"Darn it. Not again." the girl muttered as the led on her pencil snapped off. "That's the second one today." She sighed in frustration, her eyes glancing up to veiw her subject once more. Noticing that he was standing before her, her eyes lit up, a smile forming upon her pale lips. "Howdy Hades!" She giggled, standing up as she closed her notebook. A dainty hand lifted itself to the dark equine's bulging neck as Hana gently caressed the massive bulk of her beloved companion. "Are you ready to work today?" She asked aloud, her eyes meeting his as if she was waiting for a response. The giant animal flicked his head in anticipation, a "yes" for sure!
Hana lifted the red rope halter from it's resting place on the ground, placing it gently onto Hades black dial. He was certainly a wonderful animal, a great companion for someone such as Hana. She began to lead him out of the pasture, toward one of the mildly used arenas.
A blur of reddish hue was seen cantering toward the two as they left the pasture and entered the rocky trail, a knicker echoing about them as a female stomped her foot in excitement. "Pheonix! Calm down!" Hana giggled, her eyes lifting themselves from the form of the stallion, and now resting upon the petite figure of the quarter horse, who seemed to be full of energy. Her paddock rested near the one of Hades', and she was quite fond of the brute, even if he didn't feel the same way about her. The female tossed her head in delight, a sort of smile seemingly resting upon her wired features.
Hana stared at her companion for a moment, before a large smile crept upon her face. Seeing her horses always made her happy, no matter what else was on her mind. She laughed again, her feet walking forward once more toward the small arena.
(Is it okay if she lives at the ranch? Maybe in one of the bunk houses?)

Skye opened the gate of the paddock and headed towards Kyte the dark blue and black hand made rope halter and lead over her shoulder. Kyte on seeing her aproaching owner let her come to within a few feet of her before swinging her but around and trotting off along the river banks. "Kyte why do you always do this you know you cant stay outside in the paddock for along time without your rug cause of the cold!" Skye sighs before jogging towards kyte trying to cut her off at the corners.
After a few miniutes kyte dropped her muzzle to the ground and walked towards her.Skye quickly placed the rope around her neck then the halter, before heading towards the gate and the barn beyond.

Aaliyah slid slid the door shut behind her, moving slowly enough that the contact with the wooden door frame made only a soft thud rather than a clattering bang. She didn't care for loud noises. Her long, blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail to keep it out of her face and it rested over her right shoulder. Resting the pitchfork against the wall, she hoisted the wheelbarrow load and pushed it down the aisle toward the manure pile, leaving the wheelbarrow outside where it would be easy to access, she wandered back into the barns. As she walked back along the aisle she quietly greeted each horse she passed, pausing for a moment to hold a hand up to their stall and murmering a few words. She had yet to meet another person on the ranch, with the exception of Nero, of course, but she was already well aquainted with the horses. She didn't mind that arrangement. People made her nervous. Horses made a lot more senses.
She stopped in front of the door to a stall holding a jet black dainty Thoroughbred mare. The plaque on the door said "Sillhouette". Silently, she unlocked the door and slid it open just enough to let her small frame slip through the opening. The mare's head went up at the sound, her ears training on the new invader into her home, but her figure relaxed as Aaliyah cooed gently to her, holding her hands out and inviting her to come closer. The mare too a few careful steps and reached her nose out to brush one outstretched hand. Satisfied that it was the person she knew, she moved closer, bumping her nose into the girls chest. Aaliyah gave a soft laugh, stroking the mare's cheek before fishing a peppermint out of her pocket for the mare. She gobbled it greedily, then pulled her head back, her eyes looks slightly surprised before curling up her upper lip. Aaliyah chuckled again. "Sorry girl, I forgot you don't like the cinnamon ones." Sillhouette dropped her head again, not too upset about the treat not being what she expected. Aaliyah hummed quietly and contentedly as she moved back, massaging the mares crest and scratching the spot just under her jaw, her favorite spot.

Skye wandered down the aisle towards the stall at the other end her mare pinning her ears back at every horse she went past.
"kyte whats with the sour looks im going to change your stall around with the horse on the end, so then you wont be surronded" scolded the mare gently as she calmly walked past the ever filling stalls.

Nero smiled as he moved into the barn standing a few moments to let his eyes adjust to the darker lit area. Convoy knocked him as the big stud came forth excited to greet the new arrivles. "Hey! You want to meet then sure but you don't have to walk on me to do it!" giving the black stud a shove back Nero made him walk with his head at his sholder.
Coming down the hall both stopped outside Sillhouette's stall. " 'Ello, there. Settling down well?" He leaned on the half door of the stall looking in. Hope things arn't to scary, fixed the barn pretty good in the last years, so the creaking is down." A hand came up and pushed the black muzzle away from the carrot chips he keeps in his back pocket.

Aaliyah jumped at the sound of the voice. She had let her full attention fall on her horse and had been ignoring the surroundings, so it was a shock to be dragged out of her reverie. Her gray eyes darted up to see Nero standing outside her stall door but they quickly flicked over to the stallion. standing behind him. Silhouette had tensed noticably when her mistress jumped but was starting to relax, seeing the two figures that she had started to be familiar with since arriving. "um... yes. The barn is wonderful, not scary at all." She carefully avoided his gaze.
