Boarding

[popsrocks21]

Aly's mom's brown truck pulled into the drive. She nodded to her daughter, Aly. She smiled shyly and slipped out of the truck. She could hear the occasional stepping of Shiloh. She was probably impatient. Aly glanced up at her mom just to see an encouraging motion. The girl walked up to the door and knocked, waiting.




In the trailer, Runaway Bride or Shilow was peering through the trailer. She was tired of being in a trailer and wanted to get out to run and jump. Shiloh nickered to Aly. The mare's tail was braided. Her coat gleamed and her mane and forelock was glossy and untangley. Shiloh waited, her ears perked.

Danielle was sitting at a desk, doing some paper work for her mother, since her mother had to go and teach a lesson. She heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she shouted, not looking up from her papers. She then finished what she was writing, and pushed the papers away, and looked to see who the person was."May I help you?" she asked.

[popsrocks21]

Aly waited for someone to answer. Finally someone answered her knock with a come in. The girl opened the door and entered. Closing the door behind her Aly wiped the boots on the mat. She made her way to the desk. Aly was nervous to speak to her, but she built up the confidence. Yes, I was wondering if I could bored my horse here? Aly asked.



Shiloh stood there and stomped her hooves. She heard the door open and close. The mare nickered, but didn't hear Aly's calm voice reasure her.Shiloh was getting pretty bored. Her black banner swished at some flies that began to land on her rump. She snorted in protest.

[*Danni*]

Danielle nodded. People have asked her that question tons of times, and the answer was always a yes. "Of course! We do have a couple of empty stalls," she said, smiling at her. "I'm Danielle. My parents own Berlington," she said, smiling. "Here.. I'll assign your horse to a stall... What's your horse's name?" she asked, turning on the computer.

[popsrocks21]

Aly smiled happily. Thanks! Her name is Runaway Bride or Shiloh for short. she replied. I'm Aly by the way. She smiled. This was going to be so much fun! Shiloh would enjoy being her. Running in the green pastures and jumping over high tech equipment.

[*Danni*]

Danielle smiled, and nodded, reserving the stall for them. She then got up, turning off the computer screen. "Okay, well would you like for me to show you your horse's stall?" she asked. She walked around the desk, and then towards the door.

[popsrocks21]

Aly smiled. Yes please. She followed Danni to the door. Once out of the office, she could hear Shiloh stamping her hoooves on the trailer. She was probably irritated. Aly waited for Danni to lead the way.



SHiloh heard the door open and could smell the scent of humans. One of them was her owner, the other was someone unformiliar. The mare whinnied to Aly. Her ears perked and muzzle out of the hole in the trailer. Hopefully she was coming to get her out.

[*Danni*]

Danielle smiled, and then walked to what she thought was Aly's trailer. "Hey there Shiloh," she smiled, extending her hand, for the horse to sniff it. She always made sure that horses knew her scent, and acted calm, never wanting to hurt, or scare a horse. "Let's go. I'll show you her stall," she said, once again, and started to lead the way.

[popsrocks21]

Aly smiled as Danni met Shiloh. As the girl began to walk away Aly followed. She looked all around. This place was amazing! Green pastures with daiseys. The scent of fresh stalls and the airy stables. The smell of horses was strong and filled Aly's nose with delight.



Shiloh breathed in Danni's scent. She decided that this new person was nice and she hung around horses alot. The mare could smell the other horses on her. Hre ears flicked back to hear the crunching of gravel as the girls walked on. Shiloh started to doze bordley.

[*Danni*]

Danielle led Aly to her horse's stall, and stopped beside it, leaning against the gate. The stall was spacious, with comfortable bedding. So far, no complaints have been reported about the stalls, and she was happy. "Here we are. Make your self at home," she said, with a little laugh. Hopefully they will feel that Berlington is a home away from home, cause thats what other people thought.

[popsrocks21]

Aly looked into the stall. Shiloh's going to love it here. She could see Shiloh now. Her head over the stall door, nickering to any people who pass by her. Aly opened the door and nodded towards the horse trailer. I'll go get her. Aly went to the horse trailer with lead rope in hand. She opened the silver trailer and walked in. Easy girl. Aly gently clipped the rope onto the halter and led the mare out.



Shiloh nickered to her owner as she was led out. The mare looked around with her ears perked. She whinnied to any other horses near by. Shiloh nudged ALy before raising her head high and sniffing the air. She followed her owner into the stall. Once her halter was off of her grey head, Shiloh lowered her head to sniff the bedding. It was fresh and sweet. She popped her head up and hung it over the stall door. Shiloh looked at the girls standing there. Her ears perked as if saying, "Okay what do you want to do?"

[*Danni*]

Danielle smiled. She was happy she helped someone. "Glad to help. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask me," she said. "But try not to ask my sister questions. She tends to be a little.. obnoxious," she laughed. Her sister was always annoyed by people who asked her questions. It made Danielle laugh, but she wasn't those type of people.

[popsrocks21]

Okay, Thanks for all of your help. Aly smiled as Shiloh hung her head out. She petted the mares head. Shiloh let her owner pet her head. It felt pretty good to her. The mare looked down the aisle and nickered to the other horses. Aly smiled. Her mare seemed to be fitting in well. Now all she was going to do was ride in a lesson and let Shiloh have her freee time.
