Maya had dissapeared into the stables. She gathered everything she needed: the tack, the lunge rope and a small rope that would be used to increase Hollywood's speed. She heard Wanted whinnying out to Maya. She smiled, looking over to Wanted and nodded.
"If I need your help I'll ask you."
Wanted snorted, galloping around the outside of the pastures. Maya never put Wanted in a pasture for she just wandered nearby.
Wanted nickered to Hollywood, slightly. If he ever dared tried to harm Maya, Wanted would there in a split second. Tossing her head, Wanted nipped Maya and trotted off, whickering with pride.
Maya turned, glaring at Wanted, laughing, "You silly horse." She placed the things she needed on the fencing. She approached Hollywood's pasture.
"C'mon, Hollywood!" She had a halter and lead rope in hand. Wanted trotted over to Maya, curious as to what she was up to.

Hollywood grew annoyed of this pesky horse in his pasture and began to pace the fences, ers glued to his skull and nostrils flaring in annoyance, when he heard Maya he paused and his ears flicked toward her.
He turned and stared at her, than slowly began to trot toward her with power, long gaits, and baring his tooth toward Wanted, warning him to get lost.
He could easily take down this stable pony with a few bites, and he would not be afraid to do so.
He continued toward Maya, tossing his head back and once in a while half rearing and striking a hind leg out.

Wanted snorted, soon loosing interest in the big egotistical stallion. She bared her teeth at him before cantering off towards a river. She whickered, lowering her head to drink.
Maya looked to Hollywood and then to Wanted as she left. She shook her head, smiling as Hollywood came closer now, often doing the same antics she watched him do. She advereted her gaze to the halter and lead rope in her hand, both were black in color.

Hollywood perked his ears as the mare cantered away and continued toward Maya, grunting now with every step, his big, floppy ears flopped stiffly as his trot moved to a very slow gallop.
He watched Maya carefully and soon also watched the halter and rope, eyes flicking from the rope than to the halter over and over again. Finally he came to a sliding halt next to Maya and half reared for only a second and finished his ear with a snort and crashed ungracefully back to his hooves and watched Maya for her next action.

"Hey there, boy." Maya greeted calmly as Hollywood reared and came back down. She stared at him, slightly moving her hands and causing a slight clink to emerge from the objects she held in her hand.
"I have to get this on you, you're going to have to get used to it sooner or later." She raised the hand with the halter in it, though allowed the lead shank to dangle helplessly on the gate. Maya wasn't nervous, but she knew to take small precautions for she was dealing with a wild stallion.

Hollywood snorted, he craned his thick neck, muscles rippling all over it. His nostrils flared as his lips reached out to the halter and lipped at it, his ears staying on Maya, daring her to move.
His tail began to swat at the dry dirt on his painted bodice and his ears continued to lay back.
Danielle watched from a distance, sitting on Rose who nibbled at the grass joyfully with the bit tugging on the back of her mouth with the reins gripped tightly in Danielle's hands.
Danielle smirked, minding her own buisness, she too was having problems with breaking a certain someone, a certain Rose.
She wanted to break her into english, but in some way wanted to break her into western so she could do western pleasure, but in english she had plenty plans for Rose, She wanted to do dressage with her, she had the perfect gaits.

Maya stared at Hollywood as he lipped the halter. Slowly and gently, she allowed the halter to graze his coat. There would be no pain. She looked at him, "No pain will come to you. I swear."
She stared at him with her gentle, though stern gaze. She was looking into his eyes.
Wanted looked over to the newcomer's and whickered quietly, sending word to Maya that she had some company. Gathering a collected trot, Wanted made her way over to the duo. She nickering happily, staring at Rose and then at Danielle.
Surprisingly, Maya had ignored Wanted's warning. She knew it was Danielle. She continued to stare at Hollywood.

Hollywood grunted and pulled his head back and stomped a hoof, when she spoke, her soft words soothed him and he stood still, head high and nostrils flaring with ears of alert.
His long, matted tail lashed away the flies that attempted to land on him.
Soon he relaxed and loward his head where Maya could get the halter on.
Danielle looked to Wanted as she whinnied and Rose's ears perked and her head lifted from the grass, she turned to look at the approaching mare and snorted than shook her ebony mane.
Danielle waited till Wanted arrived at their side and grabbed her halter"You need to calm down, she is trying to break in that wild stallion and you will make him incorporative."

Maya smiled, knowing that he was thinking it over.
"That's a boy." Slowly, she lifted the halter and gently placed it upon Hollywood's face. She had let the halter be somewhat loose, though not too loose. She grabbed the lead shank and waited for Hollywood's reaction.
Wanted snorted, ears slightly going back as Danielle took hold of her halter. She grew silent, trying to lower her head to graze. She stared at Danielle and stopped trying to attempt to graze.

Hollywood tossed his head back as the halter was put onto his mighty head and he snorted than craned his neck and tucked his head in, ears plastered back he pranced in place, now to look pretty, but annoyance.
Soon he calmed and just stared at Maya with a deep snort.
Danielle let so of Wanted and pat Rose he was now nipping at Wanted, her ears were pulled back and she looked grumpy.

Maya watched him settle down. She nodded, knowing she didn't have to calm him down. She patted him before latching the lead shank to his halter.
"Good boy." She advanced towards the gate, though hadn't opened it.
Wanted stayed near them, though looked at Rose who was nipping at her. She snorted and walked only a few feet away.

Hollywood hesitated at first but soon realized he would have to follow or he would be dragged, so he trot ahead of Maya, pulling her a little as they moved toward the opening gate, he would listen if he got out, he looked at Maya, standing ahead of the opening fence and whinnied.
His head tucked to his arched neck still, he looked oh so elegent.
Danielle and Rose soon began to trot on the far side of the pasture, practicing for dressage"Geez girl, you pretty much have all your dressage skills down, and i still need to get you in that saddle" Danielle laughed and pat her neck.

Laughing, Maya began to jog herself as she felt a bit of strain as Hollywood trotted ahead.
She saw his arched neck and shook her head slightly, smiling. Hollywood sure did have a personality. She stopped and began opening the gate. She still kept a grip on the lead shank, though she seemed to know that Hollywood would be behave.
Wanted grazed, still keeping quiet. She gave an occasional glance towards Maya and then to Danielle. She was acting like a watch horse, always keeping them in her sight.

Hollywood perked his ears as the gate creeked open and his body turned to face it. Wanting out he pranced at Maya's side trying to hurry her, but where would they go next?
The halter made his head feel heavier, so he continued to tuck it to a craned neck, and the lead shank, well that made him angry, angry that he could not just take off and find his mare.
Danielle put Rose into a side stepping, diaganal trot down the pasture and closed the gate after Hollywood and Maya"I will meet you in the arena Maya" She said and put Rose into a collected gallop around the pasture for a little, the dished head of the filly bobbed.

Maya gently pulled back on Hollywood, "Settle down, boy. There's no rush." She looked back for a moment and nodded at Danielle, "Okay." She then looked over to Wanted, whom was now grazing by the arena.
Staring at Hollywood and then back at Wanted, she sighed. There was some sort of clash, possibly from personalities.
"Don't you worry about Wanted, Hollywood. She's just very interested in new horses, and she usually just wants to play."
She arrived at the arena's gate. She opened it and walked a few steps in. Her eyes gazed back at Hollywood for a brief moment.
