"Sh sh sh it's okay. Good boy." I was getting good at this whole drugging my horse so he could be turned out thing. I stuck the needle into his neck, push the fluid into his body and pulled the needle out. Sad how good I was at it, but it had to be done. Dance was too crazy to be turned out, but he needed to be let out. The vet told me to start with 2cc's of ace and every two weeks I would subtract half. It was the only way this horse could go outside without re-injuring himself. He had a fractured cannon bone a year or two ago before I got him, that's anymore. Only thing that sucked about drugging him was having to watch him in the field. Two and a half hours every day or so. Two and a half hours for me to sit in the grass and think about whatever came to mind.

I grabbed Leroy first and put him in the paddock I had reserved from three until seven. I never used the whole time, but if it was needed, the extra time was there. I just the gate and locked it before walking back to get Derby, my two year old mare. After she was in the pasture with Leroy I went back for Dance. By now he was totally calm but he still knew what was going on. By allowing him turn out time he was getting easier to ride. It was about time.

Now all three of my horses were out running around, grazing, rolling, chasing each other. Despite the age and size difference they all, thankfully, got along with each other. Having them locked in the same area was no problem at all.

I sat down in the grass next to the gate. I was wearing dark skinny jeans and my uggs that had taken the place of my boots after I rode. My hair was in a high ponytail and I had on a black North Face fleece jacket that zipped up halfway covering my hot pink long sleeve shirt.

I grabbed my little black cell phone from my jacket pocket and laid back flat in the grass. My knees were bent with one leg crossed over the other. I closed my eyes refusing to look into the sun. My mind started wandering back to my old horse, Cal. My perfect dutch warmblood that died the same night my parents did. I don't want to say that I was over loosing anyone from my family, but I defiantly didn't let it get to me. Life went on, so should I.

Then I started thinking about my life here in Addison and the people I had met. Wyatt came to mind at one point and the question he asked me that I refused to answer. Why I told him I was seventeen. Truth was I didn't want him to get in trouble if anyone ever found out. But that was over and it was a secret I would never tell.

I sighed throwing an arm over my eyes as I laid there. This was going to be a long day of laying here.

Sapphire struggled to get a hold of her gelding, Jupiter, he was a beautiful chestnut Arabian but he was very easily spooked. They had just moved here and right now he basicaly spooked at everything. He neighed anxsiously again and kicked at a pasture fence, throwing his beautiful head into the air. "Damn!" Sapphire said under her breath. She wrestled with him, when she wanted to go right, he wanted to go left. Sapphire finally pulled a crop out of her bag and slapped her boot with it. Jupiter froze. "Thank you, now easy boy, we're just taking a small walk around the ranch." she said soothingly, and patted his head. Suddenly as they walked closer to the pastures, she saw a girl, but Jupiter didn't, when he figured out there was someon there he went crazy. Jupiter neighed and reared straight in the air, the leadline was ripped out of Sapphire's hands and he galloped toward the person lying down. "Watch out, he's going to trample you!" Sapphire screamed in warning hoping it wasn't too late.

My arm was across my eyes shielding them from the sun. It was winter but the sun could have obviously cared less. My other hand held my phone that I idly spun around in my hand that rested on my stomach. I bounced my feet to the imaginary music playing in my head. If this is how the rest of my afternoon was going to be I didn't have much to complain about. This was nice, relaxing, it gave me time to keep my priorities straight, well it would if I had priorities.

"Watch out, he's going to trample you!"

I could hear a horse in the background neigh but I thought nothing of it. People and horses tended to walk by considering I was in an area that just about everyone went to. Thats when I hear a voice yell from a short distance away. It took me a minute to comprehend what she said. Something about trampling? I sat up seeing a chestnut horse running at me.

I reacted quickly by rolling under the fence before the horse got to me. What the hell! I thought as I stood up and dusted myself off. Without thinking I grabbed the lead rope that was hanging from its halter in one hand as I climbed to the top of the fence. "Yours?" As asked a girl not to far from me. I sat on the fence, still confused as to what just happened.

Sapphire sighed a sigh of relief when the girl tumbled away and caught Jupiter. She heard ask if he was hers. Well duh, she thought. "Yeah, he's mine. He's usually not this bad, we just moved here though and it takes him a while. I'm so sorry, are you okay though?"

Great Impression, Sapphire thought to herself. She hoped she hadn't made an enemy. Sapphire walked toward Jupiter slowly while talking to him slowly. She took his leadrope and led him to the grass area. The grass occupied for the moment.

"I'm Sapphire, nice to meet you." she said extending a hand. She felt a strain on the rope and saw Jupiter playing with another horse in the pasture. "Hmm, he seems to like that horse, is it yours?"

I was still a bit out of it. When the horse was running at me I wasn't exactly fully awake. The top of the fence was a nice place to sit at the moment and I figured I would stay there on on my feet until this horse and it's owner left.

"Yeah, he's mine. He's usually not this bad, we just moved here though and it takes him a while. I'm so sorry, are you okay though?"

I nodded sarcastically as this girl claimed her horse wasn't always like this. It seemed close to Dance on the crazy-meter. "Yeah, I'm fine." But if I wasn't, you would be paying for my hospital bills. I thought as I responded to her question. Obviously this girl didn't exactly catch me in a good mood. Her beast of a horse had woken me up from a daydream and I was not a happy camper.

"I'm Sapphire, nice to meet you."

I looked at her hand before answering. "Skye." I reached down to shake her hand with a fake smile that I glued on my face. Not the day for meeting people. No, make that not the week.

She commented on her horse liking another horse over the fence. I turned my head to see Derby, my two year old baby whinnying at the chestnut on the other side of the fence. I nodded when she asked if it was mine. "Yeah she's mine. That's Derby, my two year old." And she's still better behaved then your horse. I thought to myself. Like I said, bad mood.

Sapphire looked at the girl awkwardly, she could tell by the girl's eyes today wasn't so happy for her. "Um yeah, well I better get going. I ah.. will see you around." she said. Sapphire pulled the leadrope, and Jupiter looked her straight in the eye wouldn't budge. "Jupiter, stop being an ass." she said under her breath, today was so not her day.

She swung the leadrope behind Jupiter's butt and he did a little crow hop, I really got to round pen him, she thought. This was so humiliating, her light skinned cheeks had turned red, she couldn't even control her horse properly.
