"Uhh..." at the question he faltered. His past was a tough subject. "A caravan park south to Las Vegas." What else could he say? It was the truth. A bitter loko crossed his face at the memories but it vanished quickly. Azrael picked up on his mood change and he tossed his head in anguish. Corey soothed him immediatley. "How about yourself?" he asked her quietly, clearing his throat.

Riley blushed violently wishing she hadn't had to ask that question. She sighed deeply. "I'm sorry i didn't mean to.." she stopped half way through her words. She felt bad now extremly bad. She glanced down the trail keeping her eyes set on the trail. "I'm originally from georgia but moved to kentucky." she sighed again deeply she wouldn't admit she'd moved after her mothers death. She kept quiet not wanting to touch on anymore sore subjects. She watched the trail split and turned to the right toward the woods. She thought maybe a nice walk through the woods would be nice. He gelding dance underneath of her once more.

Corey sighed slightly. "Its no problem" he smiled reassuringly at her. Halting Azrael, he looked over the rolling hills as the track spread out. "Fancy a canter?" he asked breezily. Corey felt Azrael pull at the bit "cool it" he murmered. A cool breeze lifted up the horses' tails, and sent birds flying out of the canopy. Corey smiled to himself. He felt happy and carefree and if they cantered, it would be hard to stop.

Riley smiled broadly. "Sure." she laughed a little as the gelding tossed his head. "I can't promise i'll be able to stop though." she smiled broadly this would be the first time in a long time she cantered in the open and not in an arena. She took a deep breath and waited for him to take the lead knowing punk would spring into action. She kept her reins tight as she stood next to the other grey. She glanced over at corey a smile on her features.

Agile leg movements made Azrael spring into action. Corey brought his weight off the horses withers, allowing a freer movement. He gave the surprisingly fast Andalusian his head and his gait extended to a gallop. Corey turned in his saddle to look at Riley and Punk. Knowing it wouldn't be long before they sided or overtook Azrael, Corey took the liberty of aiming Azrael towards a log pile. Azrael was in cross country training and his confidence was growing in bucketfulls. Balancing is weight perfectly over the horses back, Corey moved with the horse as he jumped. For a moment they were flying then, with a sweet thud on the ground, they were galloping again. Corey patted his neck as they galloped on.

Riley watched as the gelding next to her surged forward she kept her gelding collected for a second more before he surged after the gleding. She kept her reins snug not allowing him his head. She watched as the horse sped up and pulled away. She leaned forward over his neck letting the reins free a little more. Punk kicked it up a gear he galloped down the stretch rileys smile broading as she rode. She heard the distinctive sounds of his hooves hitting the ground. She watched as corey steered over a log pile and she went up and around it not wanting to send punk over a jump. They were still ahead of her she had punk rated a hair. She left him out the rest of the way and he surged forward gaining on the other grey gelding. She was laughing a grin from ear to ear marking her happiness. She talked soothingly to the gelding she was on.

Corey turned to look at the approaching horse & rider. They were gaining quickly and Corey knew what was coming. Azrael hated being behind and a hidden gait. The gallop became a blur of legs, this still a new thing to the gelding. The trees began to close in on them and Corey slowed him to a canter. "Easy now" he murmered, giving and taking on the reins to remind Azrael he was stil there. "You ok, back there?" he called back to Riley, turning in the saddle to face them.

Riley saw the approaching trees as punk kicked in another gear his legs stretching as fair as possible in front of him eating the ground. She leaned back trying to stop him she slowed him a little but it wasn't working. She watched the trail narrow she kept trying to slow him still a ways behind corey she felt the swipe of a branch across her face the pain setting in. She finally slowed him as corey slowed. She felt a warm liquid running down her cheek but didn't pay attention to it. She was out of breath from trying to pull up the horse who was now prancing beneath her. "Err.. We're fine now. That was fun." she smiled feeling the pain in her cheek reminding her there was probably a cut there.

Slowing to a walk, he let the reins go loose in his palms. Azrael shook hisdial, perfect silver mane falling over his face. "Your face is cut slightly..." Corey said, pointing at her cheek. Turning the andalusian around he sided with Riley. "Here" he handed her his bandanna that was placed in his jean pocket, dabbing at the blood gently until it was clear. "There you go" he smiled. Turning Azrael around he walked alongside the pair.

She sighed a little as he fingers hit the small cut. She flinched a little then looked up as he said she'd cut it. "Yeah of course just my luck." she watched he pull up the horse and walk beside her then dab the blood away. She smiled a little. "Thanks." she looked over at him a small smile crossing her features. "Your horse is so well behaved i'm jealous." she laughed and kept her reins tight on the gelding.

He laughed slightly. "Hes not always. And he wasnt when i got him. Yours is just young and spirited, before long hel calm down" Corey stated simply. He wasnt afraid to speak his mind and wasnt awed by girls. Azrael threw his head up, almost knowing that they were praising him. A slight squeal released from the quids mouth as a branch caught on his hindquarters. "Easy now" Corey murmerd, soothing him instantly.

She listened to the mascualine talk about how his horse had not always been well behave and she shrugged. " i know but sometimes i wish he was well behaved. I'm used to riding racers so it's not much of a problem it's just frustrating sometimes." she loosened her reins on the gelding as he settled into a relaxed walk. "He's doing alot better in the ring now he's finally starting to settle and work." she smiled broadly patting the greys neck.

Corey smiled slightly at her praise of her horse. Azrael shook his head once more, his tail slashing at the flies. Corey patted him gently before looking over at Riley. A small sigh escaped him as his concentrated turned back on Azrael. "He'l go far by the looks of him" Corey commented, watching as the thoroughbred settled down. Putting both reins in one hand he rested his left palm on his knee, riding like a cowboy. Something he picked up in Nevada.

Riley sat aboard the gelding as they came to the end of the woods. She could see the barn in the distance they were heading back toward it now. She smiled as the gelding grabbed at a piece of grass on the side of the trail. "Today's beautiful i'm enjoying this trail ride." she stiffled a slight yawn tired from her earlier day at work.

Eyes fell on the barn in the distance and a small sigh escaped him. He didnt want it to end this soon. "Same here" corey sighed. Azrael was feeling the heat of the midday sun, and in an act of kindness Corey dismounted and lead the horse back to the barn alongside Riley and Punk. It felt like ages before they returned to the barn, but Corey enjoyed the ride and hated it when it was over.

Riley dismounted punk and lead the still prancing gelding back to the barn beside azrael and corey. She sighed a little unhappy that the trail ride had been so short. "we should do this again sometime." she smiled warmly she had enjoyed the others company and not having many friends made her enjoy it a little more. She hoped to maybe hang out again sometime with him.
