Adventures With Horses

Molly whipped around. She smiled widely, her eyes twinkling.
"I'm Molly. Lovely to meet you!" She said, sticking a hand out. She then realised there was a plac in it, causing her to drop her hand to her side.
"Lark, nice to meet you."
"Emily, pleasure to meet you."
"Klaus, lovely to meet you."
"Diego, pleased to meet you."
"Just lovely names you guys," she grinned. "You two are the twins we've been expecting?" Molly asked, gesturing to Lark and Emily. Both nodded.
"This is Ben." Lark said, gesturing to her horse.
"And this is Scott." Emily said, gesturing to her horse.
"I assume the horses were expected," Rosie asked Molly, who nodded.
"Beautiful horses," Molly commented, earning smiles and nods from the Pinktrees.
"Thank you," Lark and Emily said, blushing heavily.
Rosie gestured towards the two stables.
"You guys pick which one gets which and meet me at the office so I can show you the space for their tack and where your lockers are," Rosie beamed. The twins nodded and started talking amongst the two of them, deciding which one got which. Rosie took this opportunity to talk to Klaus and Diego.
"They're a blessing. They're parents should be proud of them," Rosie marveled. Klaus and Diego blushed.
"Thank you," Klaus said, blushing a deep red.
"Cheers," Diego blushed, the colour matching Klaus'.
"They're yours?" Rosie asked the two men, earning a nod from both.
"They are indeed." Diego answered.
"We got a donor though. Friend of ours carried them for us," Klaus added.
"We're not entirely sure which one belongs to who's DNA, but they're completely identical. Which doesn't help our case," Diego shrugged.
"Honestly, it doesn't really matter you know? They're a pleasure to have and make use proud everyday," Klaus grinned.
"You should be proud of them," Rosie grinned, blushing slightly at how she hadn't realised. "They're gorgeous," she added.
Klaus and Diego curtsed jokingly.
"Thanks," they chuckled.

"Shall we put Ben next to the horse and Scott beside him?" Emily asked Lark, her left eyebrow raised. Lark thought a moment, fiddling with the lead role as she thought.
"Ben does better with new horses than Scott does," she offered, thinking out loud. "Let's do that," Lark beamed at her sister. With a nod, they lead their horses into their new stables. As they turned the huge beasts, they patted their necks and shoulders, whispering words of encouragement and praise.
"Thatta good lad Scott........well done boy," came from Emily.
"Well done Ben........thats a boy!" Came from Lark.
The head collars were removed and the horses were patted down. Pats and words of praise were given before the two left the stables, shutting the doors behind the horses.
"That went well," Emily said, gesturing to the horses.
"I'm glad," Rosie smiled. "Molly. Still have those placs?" She added, turning to the small girl beside her.
"Yep." Came the reply. "Ben," she said as she handed the plac to Lark. "And Scott," she said as she handed the plac to Emily.
"Cheers Molly," Emily beamed.
"Thank you very much Molly," Lark grinned.
"My pleasure," Molly replied, bowing slightly. This earned giggles from the twins.

"They're getting on well," Klaus pointed out.
"Nice to see the girls already making friends," Diego smiled.
"Molly's great at making people feel welcome," Rosie said proudly. She clapped her hands. "Right. Time to get your lockers and tack section sorted!"
The girls turned to Rosie and nodded. As Rosie walked off, everyone followed. Klaus and Diego, behind them walked the girls.

Once everyone was in the locker room, Rosie turned so she was facing the others. "This is the locker room. Lark. Emily. These two are yours," she smiled as she walked over to two empty lockers, placing a hand over the two.
The lockers were multicoloured. Each one had its own pattern. There were a few lockers without names on them, the majority with names. The two lockers Rosie had her hand placed over had Lark and Emily's name on them. One each.
"Thank you Rosie," The twins smiled.
"You're both very much welcom," Rosie grinned. "Now the tack room," Rosie added, clapping her hands together as she turned swiftly on her heels. She walked to a door at the end of the room and opened it, waiting for the others to walk through.

A few minutes later, they'd filed through the door and were, again, stood in a semi-circle facing Rosie.
"These two parts are for you two," Rosie was saying as she gestured to a pair of hooks for bridles to sit and parts for the saddles, numnas and saddle pads to sit. There were two names above them, marked in coloured pen.
"Ben" was above one.
And "Scott" above the other.
"Thank you Rosie." Lark said.
"Very kind," Emily added. Rosie shrugged.
"Thank you. No problemo!" She smiled. "I think that's it for the tour of importance. The feed room if just through the orange door in the locker room marked "horse feed" in red. The wheelbarrows move places, but we have loads of them, so you'll find at least 2 free any any moment. We do have specific wheelbarrows for hay and mucking out. The green ones are for mucking out and the yellow ones for hay. Don't worry if you forget to bring your lunch. Someone will probably do a lunch run and bring you food. We have plenty of fields, so Ben and Scott can go out at any given moment. We have plenty of arenas for practicing jumping. The bathrooms are through the green door in the locker room marked "toilets" in blue. I think that's about it," Rosie said, smiling warmly. "Any questions?"
