The birds, above my head sang with a joyus restraint, as if they tried to please me, as Celtic Wolf and I ambled along on the dusty trail. The, sun, though it was a bit chilly, shone through the clouds and everything seemed to come out of it's shell to enjoy the warm day. Ears twithing atop his head, my horse, my beauty, Celtic Wolf was aware of his surroundings, not as much as I. Feeling the breeze at my back and seeing the open field before me was all that I needed. My legs tightened against Celtic's sides and a yelp escaped my mouth, spurring the young gelding on. Soon I found myself pulling on the reins of the bitless hackamore, slowing the gelding down, ultimately, comeing to a stop right before the creek. I turned the bronc in a circle and continued my adventuer through the thick forest and sun-lit paths. Happy was i to have found a peaceful place among thes warring world...though I longed for a human companion...a friend.

I was just heading out onto a trail when I saw motion up ahead. I couldn't help but wonder who it was and moved Espiritu into a trot. As we advanced down the dirt trail I could make out a horse and rider. "Hmm, must be someone out for a ride" I said to Espiritu. I listened to the rhythemic beats of the stallion's hooves on the hard ground below while the blue jays sung back and forth to each other above. We twisted and turned around a curvey section in the path before finding a nice smooth straight away. I leaned forewards a bit and we swiftly moved into a quick canter. It wasn't long before we caught up to Bella on her gelding. "Hi!" I said to her in a cheerful voice.

My heart jumped, though I was calm today, the voice startled me.Halting Celtic and turning him in a circle to face the voice, a smile broke onto my face. "Hey! Im Bella and this is Cletic wolf! Im new here, dont have many friends...yet." Celtic tossed his head, eager to get on, though I pulled him back, wanting to make a new friend. "Whats your naem? And your horse, he is Awfully pretty." I spoke almost in a fast manner, very excited to have found a possible friend around here.

"hey!" My voice was ecstatic and I knew Celtic was ready to be on his way, he was never a stand still horse. "Lets take a slow canter along the creek. Shall we?" With out further adu, I clicked my tongue, motioned to Joaka and Fanfare, then took off at a brisk trot, waiting for the two to get going.
Sorry its so short!

Watching Fanfare and her horse appraoch at a trot, I motioned once again for Joaka to join, Celtic still tugging at the reins. "Where does the creek empty out into?" I asked, a smile upon my tanned face. "A River, or the ocean perhaps?" Celtic, eager to get on could not stand any longer, I knew this to. "Lets go guys-Celtic may blow up if we dont get moving."

((It's okay))
"Sorry to startle you" I said a little embarassed "Mine name's Joaka, Nice to meet you and welcome to Tanglewood" I said with a smile. "This is Espiritu, it's spanish so kinda hard to pronounce" I said glad she asked, I loved to talk about horses! "I must warn you though, he's a stallion and is still young" I said hoping the stallion wouldn't act up. Just then Fanfare came trotting over. Bella and I looked over at the same time and said hello. Celtic Wolf was prancing around begging to go getting Espiritu exited too. I gave him a pat and he was also quite ready to move when Bella offered a canter. "Sure!" I said. Bella turned Celtic Wolf and moved into a trot, Espiritu right behind. "Ready when you are" I called out.

((sorry, didn't see that last post!))
"I dunno where this one goes" I responded "I'm not much of a trail rider, more into jumping in the arena but the occasinal trail is fun" I said being honest about not seeing the trails too often. We moved into a canter Espiritu having fun and trying to throw playful bucks but I always caught him with a half-halt. "So Bella, have you moved into your dorm yet" I asked wonderingly.

OOC: OK..thats fine
Celtic, glad to get going for once happily cantered at the front of his little pack, tan, buckskin hide gleaming in the brilliant sunlight that shone trough the trees. "it really is lovely here. As is your horse, very lovely indeed." English accent broke through her voice. I turned back around in My saddle, hands over my mouth. "Sorry, I didnt want anyone to know I was from London. It really is quite right that a proper girl-from England rides wentern." I really was embarressed, how could i have let possibly friends that a girl, from england, rode western.

Celtic folloed Fanfare and her horse, plunging into the river after them, tossing his golden head and shaking his black tipped ears. Applying pressure to his delicat mouth, I signaled to calm down. Flashing a smile at Fanfare and one back at Joaka, I walked Celtic forward. "Geldings."

As I came out of the woods I stared in horror. The beach was covered in trash and it looked like a boom hit the place. The others rode up behind me. I almost started to cry

I pulled Celtic Wolf up short right behind fanfare and her horse. My mouth lay agape and i knew Celtic felt my vibes through the reins. "Th-this is horrible." My words came out in stutters, totaly in awe at the beach. "Why would someone do this to the beach?" I was amazed, who would do this to such a beautiful place? Why? "We must do soemthing!" I exclaimed, asking Celtic Wolf to pick his way through the trash, my mouth still agape. Horrified, we truged on, after I snuck a peak back at Fanfare.
