Alanah led the blue roan gelding to the arena gate. "You ready, blue boy?" she asked the stocky quarter horse while shutting the gate behind them.
She mounted quickly without a block and did some flexing. When the gelding was soft in the bit Al started walking...then trotting...and moved the gelding up to a canter after a while. He moved swiftly and responded to her legs.
"Good boy, Blue!" she praised him all to soon. The Gelding flipped up his head and bolted. "Oh Blue!" She yelled and tightened her hand grip on the reins.

[ooc: Hope she doesn't mind some help, lol. I'm bored.]
Micah walked Lena up to the arena gate, and was surprised to see the arena already occupied. He watched quietly from outside for a while, until he saw the horse raise his head high and take the girl for quite a ride. He looked down to Marissa, who was watching wide eyed beside him. "Wait out here." She nodded, her curly hair bouncing. Lena paced anxiously beneath him, and was more than ready when Micah gave the slightest cue. She pulled him quickly beside the roan, keeping pace with him. "Easy boy" he said in low, long tones. He wasn't sure if the rider was going to be able to stop him on her own, and he wanted to be available in case she needed any help.

(ooc- no I don't mind. It will make for more interesting RP game. =] )
Alanah noticed the rider beside her immediately but focused on Blue. She was slightly embarressed and her stubborness won out over the thought of asking for help. The brunette tried to remember when she had been taught when a horse bolted on her. She could hear her mom telling her... "...one rein stop...". She quickly took action and let the reins loose. The blue gelding noticed and picked up speed, but he wasn't ready when Alanah bumbed the left rein and brought his head over. The pair circle several times until Blue finally came to a stop. Her face red with embarressment and Blue's chest heaving Alanah gave Blue a single pat on the shoulder then looked up at the rider. What should she say? Thanks...he had only ridden next to her giving her the will power to show him she had her rogue gelding under control. Taking a deep breathe she simply nodded her thanks. She couldn't have spoken if she tried since she was out of breathe as well. "I seriously need to work out more." she thought to herself.

Micah pulled the mare to a stop and turned her on her haunches to face the girl as the gelding was pulled into a tight circle, finally coming to rest. He could not help but smile, understanding the reason for her flushed face. He'd had the same thing happen to him many times, and knew full well how it felt. But she'd handled the situation like a pro. "Looks like he was feeling his oats today." He said, with friendly tones. He gave the mare a quiet nudge, puling himself side by side with the girl and her gelding. He extended a hand, "I'm Micah, by the way."

The brunette lowered her eyes out of shyness. "You dope, shake his hand." she thought scolding herself silently.
"Alanah Keller." she replied shaking his hand. Blue shook his head and blew his nose as if introducing himself. "And this...this is Blue, the trouble maker." Alanah said with a small chuckle. "Do you ride here often?" she asked Micah, her shyness slowly disappearing.

Micah smiled, amiably, "Good to meet you, Alanah". He reached down, and patted the bulky mare beneath him. She was mostly foundation QH, which showed in her brawn. "Well, I'm rather new here, but I suppose I will be riding here quite a bit. What about you?"

"I hope to. I am new here too." she smiled while giving Blue a nudge. The gelding walked forward with his head low and his attitude responsive. Alannah turned in her saddle. "I was gonna take a trail ride...If you want to come..." she stopped when she spotted a little girl standing at the fence. Pulling Blue to a hault, Alannah looked back at Micah. "Is she yours?" she asked with a smile.

Micah smiled, "I'd love to join you." He had just turned his mare to head back out, when he heard Alanah speak again. Is she yours? Not technically, no...but...it was hard to explain, and both of them had grown so tired of remembering. "Oh, this is Marissa. She's my sister, but I look after her."
Marissa smiled, bright blue eyes sparkling. She waved to the pretty girl on the roan, before reaching down to pet the pinto beneath her. "Hi there! This is Pistol," she said, as she reached up to ruffle the pony's mane.

Alanah's heart melted. She smiled to the youth. "Nice to meet your, Marissa...and Pistol." she then turned to Micah. "Is it alright if your sister comes?" she asked with a bright and catchy smile.
