I came into the barn as ussual and went to say hello to my horses. Rosco was being impatient and kept banging on his door anticipanting breakfast."Easy boy, I'm coming" I said as I turned to go to the tack/feed room. I went in and started dishing out grain when I noticed a flyer hanging above one of the feed bins. "Whats this?" I asked aloud. This is what it said. HUNTER PACE June 6, 2007 9am start - Awards at 3pm Procedes benifit Sunshine Rehab. Cookout/barbeque afterwards Teams of 2, 3, or 4 - No single riders!! Approx. 10 miles
Call 123-456-7890 for more information [/i] "How cool!" I said turning to see if anybody was around. Nobody was there so I continued with the grain with a smile on my face. I fed and turned out all the horses and then mucked the stalls. Once the isle was swept and everything was tidy, I brought Rosco to the crossties. "Hey Rosco!" I said begining to curry his dirty coat. "We might be going on a hunter pace!" I gave him a pat on his neck. "I think I'll bring you, we could have a great time..."

"Ya!" I exclaimed as Fanfare asked about the Hunter Pace "I'm so excited, maybe we could go as a team?" I suggested. I continued grooming Rosco and combed the tangles out of his mane. Giving Fanfare a chance to think about my offer, I grabbed the hoofpick and carefully cleaned out each of his hooves. By the time I was done, I had mud all over my hands from his hooves. "Oops" I said brushing them on my pants and wiping the remaining mud off Rosco's feet.

Just as I walked in, I saw the poster hanging on the wall. "Cool! I love hunter paces! Are you guys going?" I asked. They both nodded and smiled excitedly. "Do you guys mind if I join you? I would love to take Journey!" Journey lifted his head when he heard his name. I giggled and walked to his door.

"That would be so cool!" I exclaimed aloud. "We should all head up to the tack shop to get matching outfits" I offered as I ran a soft brush over Rosco's palomino coat. "What color should we go with?" I asked them, looking closer at a little scratch Rosco had obtained from the pasture. "I think we should do either purple, or a hot pink/lime green combo, what do you guys think?" I paused waiting for a response but continued before getting an answer. "Hey, I'll meet you guys over at the tack shop, okay? I'm going to head over there right now" I said unclipping Rosco from the crossties and putting him in his stall. I said a quick goodbye and drove off in search of outfits.

After Joaka left, I thought a little about the colors of our outfits while finishing my chores. "I love purple...but hot pink and lime green totally clash and are very noticable! I think I like the pink and green combo better." I fed Journey a couple flakes of hay, gave him his morning grain, and mucked out his stall...and shortly after I was ''done.'' So I jumped into my awsome red truck and drove to the tack shop. ((at the tack shop)) "Hey joaka! I love the hot pink, lime combo! They are actually my favorite colors Lets hang out and wait for Maggie. I think she was just about done when I left."

"Oh hey guys" I exclaimed turning to see Nuffy and Fanfare coming into the little shop. "I don't think we need a team name Fanfare, but thanks for the idea! All the other hunter paces I have been to usually just have a color scheme" I said to her, slowly reading the label on a fly spray bottle. Just then, a worker from the store asked if we needed any help. I responded first. "Um... sure" I said looking at the other two "see, we're going to a hunter pace and are trying to pick out colors..." I stopped midway as the girl inturrupted me, she seemed to know what I wanted. We followed her to the back of the store where the polo wraps and saddle pads were. 'I've been on a few hunter paces myself' said the girl as she turned, showing us the display 'have you guys chosen a color yet?' she asked politely. I looked at Nuffy again, pausing before I spoke "Yeah, we're pretty sure we are going to go with a hot pink/lime green combination" I said, watching the strange expression on the girl's face. She paused a moment too before responding 'intresting...' she said looking down towards the ground 'well, those are saddle pads and polos...' she drifted off 'then over there to the right is people stuff like breeches, jods, and shirts' She smiled and I thanked her before she walked away to help someone looking at some saddles. I turned back to Nuffy and Fanfare. "So... Do we want the pad to be pink, or green?"

((Fanfare, could you PLEASE put quotes around what you say?? Quotes are these things " , pretty please with a cherry on top!?!?! lol...))
"Wow!! That's a lot of color" I said laughing a little "I like the idea though, maybe we should go with mostly green with less pink?? Maybe like, green pads with the horses names in pink??" I suggested looking through a box of polo wraps. "Then we could have two green polos and two pink ones!" I exclaimed pulling out a pink and green wraps out. "And we could get green and pink checkerboard helmet covers!" I said kinda loud. I quickly appologized for getting too excited... "Well, do you have any more ideas?" I asked more directly to Nuffy but wouldn't mind Fanfares answer either. With a smile, I ran to the pads, and flipped eagerly through the rack.

((THX!!!!!)) I turned to see Nuffy and Fanfare looking at everything just as I was. "That would be even cooler!" I said talking about the dots idea. I turned back to the rows of saddle pads. Maybe we could do something like this?? The green on the girls back is the entry number and the thing on the horses head is an ear bonnet. I think everything else is self-explainatory... Although, the stripes in the mane and tail are ribbons...

" I looked at the picture Joaka drew I like it but we dont really need ribbons and an ear bonnet" I said. "we could braid the mane and tail and then dress them up a little by putting in like a pink or geen flower?" I asked

((Sry...I fell behind! Joaka cool pic!))
"I love everything! We will definatually be noticed at the hunter pace!" I said giggling. We searched threw the store until we all found what we were looking for. We each had a HUGE pile of things stacked in our hands as we wobbled over to the counter. The girl that was working behind the casher was amazed at the load of things we bought.
