She walked back in leading the dapple grey gelding his coat covered in dried sweat. They'd had a hard work out today but it was doing him good. He was getting stronger the whole time and his leg didn't seem to bother him at all. She sighed and stopped before the crossties. She slowly unlatched the throat latch and nosband removing the standing martingale piece. She pulled the bridle off and replaced it with his halter. She pulled the reins over his head and hooked one cross tie. She'd hook the onther after she got the martingale off. She unhooked the girth and pulled off the martingale. She pulled it over his head and unhooked the cross tie hooking it back and hooking the other one also. She pulled off the saddle setting it on the rack so she could use it on why not next. She grabbed some brushes and quickly groomed off the gelding. She pulled his blanket back over him and fastened the buckles. She walked down the aisle grabbing the muck cart. She wheeled it back and cleaned out punk's stall. She walked outside dumping the muckcart and came back in setting it near why not's stall. She scrubbed punk's water bucket and refilled it. She measure out his forage and placed it in the back corner of his stall. She unclipped the cross ties and clipped onhis lead rope leading the prancing gelding back to his stall. She unclipped the lead rope and walked out closing and locking the door behind her.

She walked down the aisle to why nots stall and opened the door. She grabbed his lead shank off the hook and ran the chain across his bay nose. She led him from the stall to the crossties. She clipped them on and removed the chain shank. She patted his neck and unbuckled his blanket. She threw it over his half door after pulling it off. She groomed his off quickly in a hurry since she still had two to work with and three more to train at Arlington. She finished grooming him off and set the saddle pad on his back saddling him quickly. She went to his head and unclipped the crossties and pulled the reins over his head. She undid the halter and pulled it off. She slid the bit into the horses mouth with little effort and fastened the throat latch and noseband. She pulled the reins over his head and lead him from the barn to arena.

The mare peered from the stall watching riley intently. She clipped on the lead rope and unlatched the door. She lead her out into the crossties. This would be the first time riding the mare she'd just recently gotten her from a horse show she won. She groomed the mare off making a mental note to buy her some blankets. She set the saddle pad on her copper back and grabbed the saddle. She set it on her back and tightened the girth. She walked to the mares head and pulled the reins over it. She unclipped the crossties and pulled off her halter. She put the bit in her mouth and latched the noseband and throat latch. She grabbed her splint boots and wrapped the mares legs.
