((Oh, can I please have Night Sky?? I like the palomino, but gypsy vanners are known to be more gentle, and I think it matches my characters inner personality better.))

I enter the area, it smells of hay and animals, but somehow that smell isn't disgusting as most would think, it was more...relaxing. The horses almost give off a kind of aura that just seems to relax you, no matter where you were or what has happened, and makes you forget about your troubles. And that was, in a way, exactly what I needed. I walk into the field, and see all the horses in the stables, so beautiful, they are... I walk towards Miss Luna, "Am...am I able to ride a horse, too? I-I've done it before."

I give her a blank look, "What about those of us that weren't assigned a horse?"

Rose finished tacking up Ghost and led her out to the round pen where Miss. Luna was riding Free Spirit. As she got on Ghost she thought to herself, I wonder how Tala is doing in archery.

"You may ride Sunshine and no one chases the horses. All of the horses come to their name, so if they are in the field when you want to catch them just call their name and they will come right to you. Now Sunshine is in his stall so please go tack him up and back to the round pen and ride," Miss Luna said to Addison.

I go towards the barn, and unlock the door to Night Sky's little abode. It reminded me of a nest for some reason. Perhaps because of the hay that looked exactly like life-sized twigs made into a little nest. But because of that, I felt a sudden over-whelming love of horses. Though it may have been for the relaxing mood it gives off. I took a brush off of the rack just outside the stall, and came gently towards Night Sky. "Night Sky..." I whispered aloud, sitting down beside her where she lay, having just been asleep.

The horse blinked, and whinnied slightly, being caught off guard by how suddenly- there I was! I stood up and took a step back, bowing slightly out of habit, and though a little shaken, it seemed to relax. I went towards it with a brush and decided to- instead of riding it- get to know it a little first, or let the horse get to know me by brushing it. Slowly, I walked towards it, and laid a hand on its nose, petting it gently. It took a step back at first, but seemed to relax when it realized what I was doing. After an hour or so, it seemed a little fond of me, and I picked up the brush and started gently brushing its beautiful mane,completely relaxed and content, finding myself smiling, for the first time in quite a while.

I hung the brush back up, and left the barn, the horse giving a little whine at my departure. I laughed as it nudged my side, and I petted its head. "Hey, I'll be back later, Sky. Don't you worry." I shut the door and left, seeing Rose walking by.
