Ranch Hand Romance

New Home

~~Ashley~~
We just finished unpacking and the house is huge. My room is extremely large, and Tue barn oh my gosh is it beautiful. I haven't seen one so big, we have 3 arenas one for rodeo events, another for jumping, and the last one is for breaking in horses. We also have a cross country field its so awesome here.  I cant wait till I get to use all of it. "Ashley come on we need to unload the horses!" Jake yelled. "ok!" I yelled back. I sprinted over to the trailer and untied Flash and told him to back out. I went and stood by the back of the trailer so when he came out I could grab him,  and did. the I repeated this with Browning (previously Blue Jean). I walked them both to the new barn and put them in cross ties cause the stall weren't ready yet. I went back and grabbed two more horses Smokey and truth be told, my moms horses, and Jake grabbed the other two. then we ran to his trailer and un loaded his new horse Jimbo.  being the good horse he was he unloaded quickly. We took him to the barn and tied him up in the barn. Then we got to work bedding down the stalls. Once we finished we put all the horses in a stall. Just as I put Browning in her stall I remembered that I had name plates made for all the horses before we left, and we had to leave my jumping horse back at our old house cause my mom sold him... I'm still mad at her. I printed out to my truck grabbed the name plates and sprinted back to the barn.  "where did you go?" "I forgot about the name plates that I had made for the horses before we left. "Oh" "Ya" I went to work putting the name plates on all the stalls, once I finished I headed into the house to set my room up the way I wanted it. I walked in my new room and went over to one of the two boxes I hadn't unpacked, I opened it and grabbed my sheets and comforter and stuck them on y bed. Then I went to the other one, it had all my breakable things, like my lamp and stuff like that. I put my lamp on my bed side table and plugged it in, then I plugged my phone in. I plopped down on my bed and grabbed my phone I unlocked it, I scrolled through Instagram. I walked downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed a snack before walking out the front door towards the barn and out to Browning's stall, I grabbed her bridal and slipped it on her I walked her out of the barn and jumped on her. I set out on an exploration to find out what all is on this land. but just as I was leaving I heard another set of hooves hitting the ground, I turned around to see Jake on Jimbo, trotting up to me. I sopped and waited on them. " whatcha doin?" Jake asked "Just going to explore want to join me?" "sure." w went out to explore the new land.

~~ Jake~~

me and Ashley left to go find out whats all here. as e rod around we found, three new ponds, deer, and hogs. it only took us 3 hours and by time we got back it was dark out. we put the horses up and  ran up to the house and up to Ashley's room.  she went to her closet and grabbed a pair of pajamas and went to the bathroom and changed. she came back and turned her T.V on and layed beside me we watched Once Upon A Time, her favorite show to watch. As the show ended I looked over to see her asleep I quietly got up but failing to not wake her, she looked at me. "Where are you going?" "to go to bed." "No... stay here." "Ok, let me go change and ill be back". "Ok." I walk out and head to my new room just down the hall from hers. I walk in there grab some pajama pants and slip them on. I walked back to her room and slipped int her bed.

~~ next morning ~~

~~ Jake ~~

"Good morning princess." " Good morning handsome." I get up and walk down the steps and into the kitchen to get something for breakfast. Her mom is down there cooking eggs an d bacon. I grab a piece of bacon and walk to the living room and turn on the T.V, it was on the news so I flipped through the channels till it landed on Dual Survival, not my favorite show but it would do.15 minutes later Ashley came down stairs and plopped on the couch grabbing the remote an changing it to Heartland.  we watched that for about 15 minutes then her mom yelled that breakfast was dine and we went and grabbed a plate full of food. We ate hat then I went and showered and changed into work clothes and went out to the barn and started cleaning stalls. I think the cows are coming today. we couldn't bring all the animals in the first haul so, Ashley's mom is having one of the ranch hands haul all the cows down here today. as soon as I finished the stalls I grabbed Jimbo and saddled him up, and took him to the arena. I warmed him up by trotting a couple laps both ways then lopping both ways, by the time I finished Ashley had came out and was on Browning warming her up.  I hopped off and went over to where she had stopped. " Do you want to rope a little or what?" "umm well I can run the dummy and you can rope hen switch, but I also need to work on barrels." "Ok." I walked back over to Jimbo while Ashley tied browning to the arena fence and walked over to the dummy. We are gonna use the one hooked up to the 4-Wheeler. She hopped n it and pulled into the arena with it. I trotted over to the boxes getting my rope ready. as soon as I was ready I nodded and Ashley shot off, she wasn't going very fast because he hadn't ever been run on this. I roped the dummy  and she stopped and pulled my rope off going back to the box I went again, she went faster about the actual speed of a calf. I quickly roped the calf, and she stopped. She took it back over to the boxes while I tied Jimbo up and grabbed Browning for her.  I walked browning over to Ashley and handed her over. " y didn't have to do that." " I know but I wanted to since I was already over there." " ok thank you I love you." " I love you too, now get on." she got on and backed into the box. when she was ready she nodded and I shot off. before I knew it she roped the dummy. We went back and did it again. "I need to practice barrels." "Ok want to use this arena or what cause I kinda wanted to use this one to work him some more." " no ill use the other one plus after that I think I'm going to jump Smokey. " " ok love you." " Love you too."
