Him

Meeting Phoinex

Once they were back at the Harvest Stables, Future slowed down and stopped at the entrance

'Here you go, Ella. I'd advise you get back to Superstar now, probably misses you.'

He told her, turned around, reared, then disappeared.

With that Ella nodded and jogged back to the barn and went inside

When Ella came to the barn she rounded the corner too sharp and almost ran into a girl she had never seen before.

She was skinny, but built, with dark read hair that fell in soft wavy strands around her shoulders

She was wearing a midnight black riding jacket, black and white striped, tight, pants that were vertically stripped, and her boots were snow white and she wore a white racing helmet

"Oh! I'm sorry! I wasent watching where I was going. My appologies"

Ella said to her as she backed away and help her pick up the things she was carrying

"Oh that's alright, accidents happen sometimes."

The girl said as she took the supplies from Ella and out them back

"My name is Ella. Me Nd my sister, Emma, are head equestrians here. And you?"

She asked her straightening back up and giving the rest of her things to her

"Oh my name is Phoinex. I get it from my hair color. Plus my parents love the kind of bird also."

She explained as she brushed some of her hair out of her face

"Oh! And since you are one of the head equestrians here, I was wondering if you could give me some tips and help on my style of riding maybe?"

She added with a soft, yet sweet smile as she studied Ella

"I would love to!"

Ella chimed

"Where is your horse? I would love to meet him or her right now if that is fine."

She asked then looked around, but saw no unfimiliar horses

"Oh, Autumnmist is out doing some exersice right now. Come on, I'll show yeah!"

She said hanging the bucket on a hook beside the horse stall and heading outside with Ella following her

When the reached the paddock Phionex lightly whistled to her, she stopped and trotted over to her happily and whinnied

"This is Autumnmist this is Ella, Ella this is Autumnmist."

She said watching Autumnmist, aka Autumn, look over at Ella

"She's beautiful. Autumn is a girl right?"

She asked her and fed her a carrot then turned back to Phionex

"Correct. Autumn is, in fact, a mare."

She beamed brightly

"So do you think you could give us some tips later maybe?"

She asked her excitedly

"Yes I can. What do you practice with her?"

"Oh, we do Dressage and Jumping!"

"That's good! There is a Dressage Arena beside the Jumping Arena! We can start in a little while if you like. Or we can start tomorrow, it is pretty late right now though. You might wanna put Autumn up for the night."

She offered, spun on her heels then started on her jog back to her house.
