Chey and Niall
Chey sighed as she walked Niall over to the pasture that held his temporary horse, and Ninja. Opening the gate, both horses looking over, only from the noise. Ninja came trotting over, and nudged Chey, who patted his head.
“I assume you know what to do.” He could tell she was tired, and that sorta concerned him, a little. He nodded anyways and made his way over to the Fjord, who was staring directly at him. That made him slightly nervous, but he continued on. Stretching his hand out, the horse sniffed his hand. Quickly, he placed the halter onto her head. Her ears went back, he wasn't any fun. Leading the Fjord over to Chey, she nodded in approval.
“That was good and quick. Usually Britta plays with her rider for a little.” Britta agreed by pawing at the ground, making Chey chuckle. Chey lead all three into the barn, helping Niall cross tie Britta in the grooming area. Ninja just stood, already ready for a nice grooming. She told him to stay and watch them as she made her way into the tack room, only to come back out a few minutes later. She placed a brush box by him and placed the other by Ninja, who perked up. Grabbing a brush, she explained what they did and what order to use them in. Niall payed attention and followed along.
“Here, I'll do her feet.” Chey said, finishing up cleaning out Ninja's hooves. Throwing the hoof pick into his box, she grabbed Britta's, explaining on how to do it and showed him. She noted how he payed close attention. Maybe it wasn't so bad. As she finished up, she placed the boxes back in the tack room, grabbing a couple of treats, which both horses perked up at. Chuckling, she handed Niall two treats, who gladly gave them to Britta. Both horses chewed on their treats, as Chey took off Britta's halter and allowed the two to walk back to the pasture themselves.
“You're just gonna let them go by themselves?” He asked amazed. She nodded, she knew the horses would run, and if they did they would be back. They always came back.
“Come on, let's go get something to drink and eat.” He couldn't say no to that, as he followed her up to the house.

Lily, Tori, Liam and Zayn
The two girls lead the boys towards the pasture that held their two horses. The boys went in first as the girls leaned on the fence. They knew the boys had a slight idea of what they were doing and didn't wanna really explain. So with the silent message the boys headed off. Liam headed towards a white Appaloosa that had some brown spots, as Zayn headed towards the brown Quarter horse.
“Here horsey horsey, let us catch you.” Zayn mumbled as the Quarter horse shook her mane. The Appy snorted as he turned his head away. Liam rolled his eyes as he walked over to the Appy, who pinned his ears slightly. The two girls watched with interest as both horses snorted at them. These two were the most laid back, so why all of a sudden so temper mental? Liam put his hand out, the Appy eyed it before sniffing his hand, which he tried to nibble on, since he smelt the food from breakfast. He took this as his chance and put the halter on, much slight annoyance to the Appy. The Quarter neighed in laughter, only for Zayn to quickly put one on him. Now it was the Appy's turn to neigh in laughter. Both boys shook their head and lead them over to the girls, who nodded.
“Liam, the one you have is Tainn. Cheyenne's jumping horse.” Tori explained as Lily told Zayn that the one he had was named Rusty, a retired barrel racer. He was slightly shocked, both were actually. These two horses were her most prized possession.
“Only Tainn and Ninja are. Rusty is Cher's.” Lily said, as if reading their minds.
“Come on, lets take them to the grooming area.” Tori said, walking into the barn, the others following behind. Lily helped the boys with the cross ties as Tori had gotten the horses grooming buckets. Both helped and explained what each was for, before they did the hooves. Lily, put the buckets back into the tack room as Tori undid the horses halters, letting them go back to the pasture themselves. As everything was cleaned up they headed up towards the house.
