They galloped slowly toward the river, Prince perking his ears and snorting at the sight of the rushing river, the sound of the strinkleing water echoing to his alert ears and Rose nearly throwing off Danielle who held tightly onto the reins she had clipped to one of the Arabian's many show halters, Rose was not yet broken into with tack but allowed Danielle to ride her this way.
Danielle calmed her down by patting her neck and humming a slow song, a song she sang to the filly when she was only a foal to calm her down and to trust human again. She had been abused at the slaughter house for her short time there, but Danielle saved her.
She let go of the lead shank that was on Prince's double stitched halter and the muscular power house took off into the river, cooling down instantley and dropping his head to drink. Danielle knew she could trust him with not running off because he never went far without her.
Rose on the other hand was still green and could not be trusted as much, she would take off at any chance she had, but would eventually come running back to Danielle knowing she needed to be fed my her. Danielle slowed Rose to a very slow trot, just like in dressage and pranced to the river where she dismounted and pulled the refusing filly in.

Amy rode her racer, Lithium, towards the great river. The rytmatic hoof beats struck the ground. Lithium had his ears perked as he watched the bluebelles sway in the wind. Amy sighed, this was her favourite thing to do, ride. They soon came apon a good spot to gallop. Lithium took the bit and pushed himself faster and faster until they were going full speed. The ride ended all to soon when Amy spotted a girl and two horses, so she slowed Lithium down to a walk. He breathed in deeply and took a long drink from the river beside them. Amy tied up the brute and let him drink till his heart's desire. "Hello, I'm Amy." She said to the girl and horses. While waiting for a reply, she patted Lith's head.[/color]

Danielle lifted her head from the water at the sound of hoof beats and so did both her horses, first Rose lifted her Dante head and then Prince, both horses whinnied and began to paw at the water. Rose nearly soaked Danielle but lucky for Danielle she lead Rose out of the water where she could not splash anymore, but Rose shook off all the excess water from her body and snorted, her ears perked forward again and watched the horse and rider coming toward them, standing in her show stance with her nose reaching for the sky, long tail perked over her rump and running down her legs, front legs perfectly straight down from her chest and hind quarters out farther. Hey, I'm Danielle" She spoke and rubbed Rose's neck and turned her head to look at Prince as he charged out of the water and stopped ahead of Rose and Danielle whinnied warningly toward Lithium with plastered ears and a low head, obviously challenging him.
Danielle laughed and clipped Prince's lead shank back on again"Easy boy" She cooed leading him to her other side, now holding a horse in each hand.

Amy Lee looked at the girl and her horses. Amy listened as she was told the identy of the girl. "Oh, well then.. Hello Danielle. Nice horses you have there.." she wasn't always good at making conversation. Suddenly the big stallion charged at Lithium. Lithium put his auds back against his dial and snorted at Prince. Then he shook his head as if to say "Well that was a nice greeting." and pawed the ground. Amy laughed at the horses, wairly staring each other down..[/color]

There was an odd sense of silence, but then it had immediatly shattered as the thundering hooves tore at the earth. A 16 hand high mare had bolted out of the shadows, whickering in a somewhat frightful way. She bucked playfully as her owner, Maya emerged. Maya couldn't help but laugh, even if Wanted had bucked her off. She knew what the mare wanted and she would indeed get it. She charged towards her mare, pretending to yell at her. Wanted had took off at a slow canter, tossing her head back and whickering with pride. She seemed to be laughing at Maya.
Maya huffed quietly as she continued to run after her, "Wanted, you get your horsey butt back here!" She couldn't make her voice sound serious, for by this time she bursted out laughing. Wanted, half reared in pride as she headed for the water. Maya, had followed, not even caring for this at all. She splashed Wanted, watching her whinny in sadness. Wanted obviously knew she had the upper hand here, for she reared and once she landed her front hooves had hit the waters once placid surface and caused much commotion as a wave encased Maya. Maya was now soaked, though this didn't bother her at all. She began splashing Wanted and she did in return with pawing at the waters surface. Finally, that's when Maya stopped, hauling herself to the shore and fell backwards, though was imediatly greeted by Wanted's large face. Her back bare and she remained tackless as she nuzzled Maya's arm in affection. She whickered softly as she was embraced by her hands, gently stroking her face. Maya adored things like this, and that's when she noticed movement nearby. She gulped, though she wasn't embarassed. She stood and laughed quietly, still stroking her mare. She cleared her throat and grinned, "Hello everyone." Her voice was filled with confidence and no shame at all riddled her voice. She smirked as she was forcefully shoved towards the group, for Wanted had nudged her. Maya giggled, grinning within her own stupidity.

Danielle too laughed and pat Prince on the nose"Yah thanks, your horse is pretty handsome himself" She said looking to Lithium.
Prince grunted and tossed his head back angrily, not of Lithium anymore, he had actually calmed down about that mare but of the knew horse running into site. Rose nickered a greeting to the mare and nudged Danielle who nearly fell over"Hello, I am Danielle, these are my horses Prince and Rose" She greeted holding onto Rose's halter as the mare through her head back she also pulled Danielle up, it sure would have counted as team work if Rose had not nipped at Danielle's hair in the process.
Stomping a hoof Prince began to grow impatient so Danielle tied both he and Rose onto a tree and looked at the scene then back to Wanted and Maya"Looks like you and i do have a set of twins" Danielle laughed directing her words toward Rose, but was obviously meant to be heard by Maya and Wanted.
Prince began to pull back on the lead shank, freaking out, something was in the bushes, something big enough to scare that tough horse. Prince nearly broke the lead shank but Danielle had untied both him and Rose. She took off Prince's lead shank and clipped it onto Rose's show halter, than clipped the other side on as well and took off the reins, she had a pretty good idea of what was in those tree's, this area was known for a couple of wild mustangs.
Just as she expected a muscular, wild painted mustang charged out from the tree's and right toward Rose, but Rose being the Dante mare she was only thought it was a game and nipped at the wild stallion, but Prince noticed the stallion charging toward Rose, his friend and reared, pawing at the sky with extreme force in his rippling muscles. The painted stallion quickly looked to Prince and charged after him, Prince pinned his ears back and took off through the river and into the meadow on the other side. Danielle smiled and looked to Maya and Amy and nearly grew to exited to even talk"I'll get some good money on this one, i can use my inner cowgirl" She laughed and chased behind the two stallion's on Rose. But only for a second, when they reached the river Danielle could only imagine Rose in a human body, wide eyes and in her mind she was saying eeww water because the prissy filly began to prance at the river edge roughly, Danielle bouncing none stop on her back, How embarrassing!
She leaped off of Rose and pulled her across the river then jumped back onto her back and chased after the stallion again, this time nothing would stop her. Like Prince knew what Danielle was doing he ran in circles around the meadow, knowing that this wild mustang would not give up the fight, he was a fast bugger too, he had gotten a few good bites on Prince's flank, and some blood was being spilled.
Danielle attached the end of the reins she had taken of Rose while still chasing after the stallion and then once Prince turned toward them she stopped Rose and threw the rope over the mustangs neck and it quickly tightened.
The paint looked down to the reins around his neck and snorted than looked back up to Danielle and began to rear, Prince trot next to Danielle and she unclipped Prince's halter and looped the reins into it Prince quickly back stepped when he felt the tugging of the stallion on the other end"I need more ropes!" Danielle yelled to the girls on the other side of the river the mustang still whinnying and freaking out.

Maya smiled and grinned as Danielle introduced herself. "I'm Maya, and this here is Wanted, some of you may know her as, Gunshot or even Outlaw." Wanted had proudly posed and whickered towards Rose, pawing the earth. She remained close to Maya, it seemed like she was afraid to make friends. She laughed quietly at the mention of twins. "Looks like we do." She giggled softly.
The paint stallion that had rushed past them all, had overwhelmed her, yet excited her. She grabbed an extra rope, which she had been using incase, and removed it from Wanted's neck. Wanted reared and as she did, Maya mounted and the duo took off at a gallop. As soon as they hit the water, Wanted's speed increased. She loved water and it showed. The water spewed out all around and as they came to the other shore, Maya knew exactly what to do with the rope. Nimbly, she created a lasso and rounded it above her head as Wanted kicked into top notch. She never seemed to want to stop, and instead of keeping her neck arched, she had her head. She whickered, fearful that the wild stallion would injure Maya in any way, and if so, hell hath no fury. Wanted would give that stallion a piece of her mind if he ever tried to hurt Maya. This bond was like no other.
As the lasso flew through the air, it soon caught contact with the raging stallion. He sure was a beaut, if she could say so herself. Luckily, she had on her riding gloves, so no sort of rope burn could harm her. She pulled, hoping that the rope would not fail her now.

Amy watched as the other girl came up. "Hello, I'm Amy Lee and you are?" she let the question hang as a paint charged by. Lithium reared and almost nocked the girl holding him right of her feet. Amy grabbed the stallion who now loomed above her in a proud stance and pulled. When she had him undercontrol she smiled at everyone else, as far as she was concerned this was another normal day with Lithium.[/color]

Danielle smiled when she noticed the awesome team dashing toward the wild stallion What a team was all she could think, loosing concentration Prince whinnied loudly to gain her concentration again and it worked Danielle looked back to the furious stallion. Rose eagerly wanting to go play with him again but knowing she would get in trouble she just stood back and pranced in place, why not nice while a big scene was happening?
Danielle looked to the filly and rolled her eyes then back to the mustang. He tossed his had back quickly, whinnying warningly , a small herd of about 10 mares ran out of from the tree's next to the river. The mustang, as if loosing his life settled when they passed by, Danielle watched them race by, her eyes sparkling with amazement, this must be his herd.
The painted mustang half reared and nickered quietly and watched his herd pass by, his ears perked and his hooves continuously stomping, when the second rope landed around his neck he nearly had a heart attack he screamed loudly, his whinny echoing through the land. He looked to the holder and flared his nostrils with a deep snort and plastered his ears back.
This stallion could be something, his gorgeous looks, and his huge muscles. But being a mustang you could only expect that, but this one was one of those horses who would look like a fairy tale in slow motion.

"Oh wow," Maya breathed as the painted mustang had whinnied, looking straight at them. As the mares had past, she gawked in absolute awe. She could easily tell that when he called them, they came and went, not even wanting to help out. Wanted had focused on the stallion, whickering as she pulled back even more. Something had gone wrong, her ears were now pinned against her skull. Maya knew what was happening. Her pupils had shrunk almost considerbly, but went back to normal. "Oh dear, God."[/b] Maya muttered. Wanted would never harm Maya, not now and not ever. It seemed like the stallion had threatened to attack them and Wanted would not even have it. As the shrill scream of the paint arose, it was shot down by Wanted's scream. She would guard Maya with her entire life if it came down to the wire. She half reared, backing up as she was determined to get this stallion under control before he even thought of harming Maya.
Wanted was such a rough edged mare at times. When she felt as if Maya was in danger, its like her old burning flame had now ignited and out came a dark and flaming horse. Wanted's eyes was lit with flames as she glared at the stallion, nares flaring as she showed off her daring personality.[/sub]

Danielle looked to Maya and smiled"Looks like we got our selves a real one" She laughed and turned her gaze back to the mustang who was pawing at the ground in annoyance, and watching the tails of his mares running toward the other end of the meadow where they stopped and almost each more whinnied to him. He returned their whinnies with a soft nicker and a snort, for a second his ears were perked again"They seem to make him happy" Danielle said looking to Maya again, when her voice broke again the stallion pulled his ears back. Danielle looked to Rose who was prancing slowly toward the wild horses"Hey! You get back here" Danielle spoke and Rose stopped in her tracked and looked to the mustang who was next to her and whinnied frighteningly and trot behind Danielle. Danielle hopped onto Rose and untied the reins from Prince's halter and held onto them, the mustang now allot more calm, just standing far away looking at the humans"Let's get him back to the stables, you got an extra rope for Prince?" She spoke looking to Maya.

Maya nodded in agreement, "Looks like we sure have." She looked towards the mares and then back towards the paint. She shook her head, "They're mares, of course they would make him happy." Maya was only teasing and she looked towards Rose and then back at Wanted. Wanted refused to budge, she stood her ground against the stallion. She whickered harshly as if telling him to shut up. She flattened her ears against her skull, tossing her head slightly. She looked back over to Danielle, "I've got one of them quarter inch ropes I have in my pocket. Prince looks like he could easily follow along with a small rope like mine." Before Danielle could answer, she was already with drawing the rope from within her pocket, offering it to her. She patted Wanted awkwardly with the rope still in her firm grip. "Atta girl, Wanted. You did good today." Instantly, the wild flame within Wanted had been snuffed out and her ears pricked forth to welcome the praise. She nickered happily, arching her neck slightly. Frequently she would whicker to the stallion, making sure he stayed far away from Maya. If he even dared to test his limits, Wanted would know and probably lash out at him.

Danielle nodded"It'll be fine, think you could lead him, he is fine with it, i will lead this mustang" She said and held out her hand"Toss me the rope you have around his neck" She said, she could get good control over this stallion, she tapped Rose into a slow walk toward Maya, Prince following next to her"There you go, just put it around his neck, he won't mind" She added and watched the wild stallion paw at the ground, his ears relaxed, nostrils flared, and deep snorts made Rose's ears flick toward him, also causing her to look at the brute.
Danielle pat Prince"You did a good job too buddy" She praised and as if she should also be rewarded with a pat on the neck Rose nipped at Danielle's riding boot"You too i guess" She said and pat Rose on the neck"Arabian's, they are so stubborn at times" She laughed still watching the stallion as he began to sniff the rope leading to his neck.

Maya replied, "It'll be no problem." She gave her the rope quickly and watched the mustang carefully. Wanted was quiet for the time being, shaking her mane as she nipped at her leg. She bobbed her head eagerly, wanting, praying to go back into the water. Maya laughed quietly, watching her act this way. She grinned, "Demanding too at times," she joked. Wanted's tail flicked, her ears pricking forth and then back as the wild stallion snorted.

Danielle smiled"Let's get this stallion home" She said and pushed Rose into a quick gallop, the mustang refusing at first but soon bolting ahead of Rose"Come on girl!!" Danielle yelled and kissed. Rose picked up her gallop to a intense, eye watering run, they stayed right next to the stallion"Where you think you were going, Hollywood?" Danielle said and smiled"Hollywood. It's perfect for you" She laughed.
They neared the river and Rose hesitated for a moment but pushed herself forward realizing Danielle would get hurt if she stopped because Hollywood would keep running. Danielle laughed in exitment as the filly raced through the river. "You need to get there first so you can open the paddock gate, the third paddock!" She yelled over to Maya.
