Caitlin sighed and leant against the strong post and rail fence that bordered the stallions field. She had just turned her sixteen hand heigh black thoroughbred Etoile out with his best friend Genesis and was watching them graze peacefully. That was the problem with her stables now. It was too peaceful. Hardly anybody came anymore. She pulled a few splinters out the top rail of the fence and then looked up into the sky, finding patterns and images in the clouds.

Jared put his hands in his jeans pockets, walking forwards. He had his head up, looking forwards but he mind wasn't really thinking about what was in front of him. He didn't really know where he was going but thought he'd take a walk before Samson arrived. He finally let his eyes tell his mind what he was seeing and he saw a girl. He smiled slightly, taking his hands out of his pockets and brushing his fringe from his eyes. He walked on, his hands by his side but occasionally deciding to take comfort in his pocket. From far away, he would have looked like a lunatic. Well, he probably did anyway. Jared stopped a few steps in front of the girl "Hey" he smiled, walking over slowly.

Caitlin heard a noise from behind her and looked over her shoulder, then turning back round when Etoile and Genesis both whinnied to Jared at the same time. It had been a long time since they had seen a new face. "Hey there. I'm Caitlin Harris and this is Chestnut Trees Equestrian" she said, offering her hand formally. Hopefully this person was a prospective customer

Jared looked at the horses as they whinnied and a natural smile came to his lips. He looked back to the girl and smiled, shaking her hand gently. "Nice to meet you, Caitlin" he smiled and dropped his hand. He looked away for a moment and then back to her. "I'm Jared Evans" he smiled and nodded slowly.

Etoile snorted and trotted over to the fence, nudging Caitlin in between the shoulders as if to ask her who this new person was. She scowled slightly at her horse's rude behaviour and then recomposed her face so she could talk to Jared "Hey Jared. Are you looking to have lessons here? Or board?" she asked, leaning back against the fence. Genesis walked over to Etoile and stuck his nose out, grabbing Jared's shirt between his teeth and yanking the man towards him. "Let me introduce you to Etoile, my horse, and Genesis, one of the school horses" she gestured towards the two horses, one bay, one black

Jared smiled at Etoile and then rolled his eyes playfully. "To board really, but any tips are always welcome" he laughed and then turned his head as he was pulled back. Hey there he grinned and rubbed Genesis' neck and then Etolie's. Very gorgeous Jared grinned and looked back to Cailtin. I have my own Paint Horse he said with a smile. Called Lower The Boat, r Samson Jared grinned.

"Kay. I've been teaching for all of nine years" Caitlin smiled slightly. She looked over at the mare and geldings field and saw her horses playing about a bit. She loved them all so much. In the distance you could see Inferno's chestnut head stuck out over the stable door. She looked back to Jared "I love paints" she smiled "He's welcome here. Two hundred dollars a month board"

Jared smiled. He's a little bit of a bugger sometimes his smile turned into a grin and then he nodded. Thanks, that should be fine Jared nodded and then moved his fringe again. He turned his head to look at the other horses. There are some nice horses her too Jared mused.

"This used to be an amazing stables back in its prime. Maybe one day it will return to that standard" she sighed regretfully as she thought about the days when people used to flock to this stable to be part of the blue ribbon winning show jumping and dressage teams "When is he arriving then?" she asked, rubbing her cold hands together and waiting for an answer

Jared though for a moment and then shrugged. I don't really know, probably when my brother thinks is a good time the smile faded from his face. That could be never really. He'd have to phone his mum later, even though she'd probably be drunk. Jared smiled again, not wanting her to notice his doubts. He coughed quietly. So, how long have you been here? he asked and then nodded. I heard alot about it

Caitlin smiled slightly, offering a mint to Etoile who gratefully lipped it off her palm and nudged her for another. Genesis neighed angrily and bit Etoile on the neck, who then kicked out. The horses fell into silence and continued to watch Jared and Caitlin. "I've been here for nine years" she smiled "Really? Thats cool" she sighed slightly. He seemed to be the only person who wanted to stay here nowadays

Jared smiled and watched the horses. He raised his eyebrow. Samson would have just trotted away by now, being the scared little paint he was. A smirk came to Jared's face. Yeah, my mum always said I could come, but.. he shrugged and then sighed. Nine years? he smiled.

Caitlin raised an eyebrow but decided not to pry. "I'm going to Starbucks, I need a break." she walked over to Inferno's stable, where her bag had been left just outside his door. She picked it up and scratched the chestnut pony's neck, who nudged her then went back to his hay net "You wanna come?" she asked, unlocking her car and looking over her shoulder

Jared smiled and then watched her. He nodded when she said she was going to Starbucks. He'd probably go..phone his mum or something. Jared watched her and then smiled. He blinked at her question and then nodded slowly. Sure he smiled and walked over slowly.

"Get in, don't worry about getting the car dirty. This thing's seen it all. Including a shetland pony that climbed in, kicked the handbrake off and stood in the car whilst it rolled down a hill" she smiled slightly at the memory and closed her door, putting the keys in the ignition and waiting for Jared to get in. She turned the keys, letting the engine run whilst she waited
