Jill greeted Boogie. He was a bit weird with her, but she just patted him and haltered him. Before she did anything with him, she wanted to ride him and see what he was like. She decided to take him out to the cross country course and check out his abilities. She tacked him (using Danny's tack for now, she would get him his own tack later) and brought him out to the cross country course.

Jill brought Boogie back to the barn. She had worked him the hardest she had worked any horse in her life. This was the type of stuff they did in showing, but she just wanted to see what he could do. He was hesitant on some jumps, but no matter, he cleared each jump. He would jump the moon for her. Tomorrow she would try steeplechase, which was a bit less tiring. She untacked him and then groomed him off by simply currying him and then brushing him off. He was a verryyyy good boy today, so she gave him all of his feed (10 pounds of pellets) and his hay (10 pounds). He didn't gobble it up like Danny, he had more more manners than that. Jill gave him two carrots since he was so good and then left to tend to her mares.

Avery led Chanceux into Cedar Brush, settling him into a stall. He was Ms. Bliss' new horse, and Avery knew that he'd be extremely happy here. She kissed him goodbye on his muzzle, and headed out.
[ please deduct another $2,500 to pay for him. congratulations. ]

Jill came into Cedar Brush. What was that in the next stall? A new horse! She walked up to him and greeted him. He was very gorgeous, Jill fell in love with him at first sight at the horse sale. She patted his muzzle and left to get new feed for him and what not.

Jill walked into Cedar Brush and greeted each of her handsome stallions with a carrot. She then fed them: 4 1/2 pounds of Horse and Pony Cubes for Danny, 4 1/2 pounds of pellets for Chanceux, and 5 pounds of pellets for Boogie. While they ate, Jill started to groom Danny. She was going to ride him first today. She simply curried him off and then brushed him down, Danny looked nice since his bath yesterday. Then she tacked him up. She led him outside to the training ring; today they would be jumping 18" fences.

Jill brought Danny back to Cedar Brush. She untacked him and then groomed him. She curried him all over and then brushed him off. He was still sparkling from his bath yesterday. Before she forgot, she tied Danny outside of his stall and mucked it out. Then, she brought him back into his stall and unhaltered him. Then, she went to take care of Boogie. Jill patted Boogie's shoulder and then groomed him. She curried him down and then brushed him, and then tacked him up. Then, she led him out to the practice field. Today, she would try some steeplechase.

Jill brought Chanceux back to Cedar Brush. Chanceux was doing very well. She brought him back to his stall and untacked him. Surprisingly, there were even some sweat marks on him, even if it was snowing outside. She curried him off and then brushed him down. Then, before she forgot, she mucked out his stall. Then, she brought him back into his stall and unhaltered him. To say goodbye to her stallions, she fed them all their feed and then their hay. As a farewell, she gave each of them a pat and a carrot. Then, she remembered and put on their blankets to sleep in. She gave them final pats and left Cedar Brush.

Jill came to Cedar Brush to greet all of her handsome stallions. They all were all still munching on their hay, and Danny was starting to eat his bedding. Jill laughed and greeted each of them with a carrot. Danny nudged her for food. Jill fed them each their feed and then decided to start with Danny. She was moving Danny up very fast, they were getting into 2' courses! There was also a show coming up, she would probably bring Danny and her new horse, Paris to the show. She wanted to bring one mare and one stallion for some variety in her horses. She would've brought Nadia but Nadia probably wouldn't be ready for showing once Jill brought her to it. Jill took off Danny's blanket and started to groom him. She groomed him by simply currying him over and brushing him down. Then, she tacked him up, deciding to put on Danny's martingale. He would need it. Then, she led Danny out to the training ring.

Jill brought Danny back to Cedar Brush. He had done very well learning how to do lead switches and doing his first 2'0 course. Tomorrow, she would probably try 2'3, which wasn't much higher even if it looked so. She patted Danny and untacked him. Then, she groomed him by simply currying him over and then brushing him off. Then, she turned her attention to Boogie. Jill greeted Boogie and groomed him over by currying him and then brushing him off. Today she was going to try some 3'6 to 3'9 courses with him and see how he would act. She tacked him up and then brought him out the the practice ring.

Jill came into Cedar Brush. She had just gone through a long showjumping course with Boogie, and he had worked very hard. She first untacked Boogie and then groomed him. She groomed Boogie by currying him off and then brushing him down. Before she forgot, she mucked out his stall really well. Then, she led him back into his stall. Then, she decided to take care of Chanceux. Since she had ridden him so much yesterday, she was going to give him a break today and not even let him out into the pasture. She decided to give him a bath instead. She brought him out of his stall and bathed him. First off, she took off his blanket and rinsed him off. He was a bit weird about the hose but he was all right. Then, she shampooed him everywhere: his coat, his mane, and his tail. He loved to be groomed, Jill could tell. Then, she let the shampoo soak in a bit. She shampooed him extra hard because he was a grey horse. Then, she rinsed him off and sweat scraped him. She curried any loose fur off and then brushed him down. Then, she sprayed some detangler in his mane and tail. She brushed them out until they were all flowy and tangle free. Now, Chanceux was sparkling. Before she forgot, she mucked out his stall. Then, she led him back into his stall. She gave him a final pat and then put back on his blanket so he wouldn't get too cold. Then, Jill put on all of her stallions' blankets and gave them all their dinner. They all almost inhaled it. She then gave them their hay, and gave them all final pats and carrots. She decided that it was time to leave and tend to her mares. She waved goodbye to them and left to tend to her mares.

Jill entered Cedar Brush, greeting each of her handsome stallions. The only stallion he was going to actually ride was Danny, she would rest Chanceux and Boogie. She fed them each their breakfast and greeted them each with a pat and a carrot. She decided to start with Danny today. She curried him off and then brushed him down. Then, she tacked him up. Today she would try some 2'3 courses with him, which wouldn't be too difficult. It was just 3 inches taller than yesterday. She led him out to the training ring.

Jill brought Danny back to Cedar Brush. He had done pretty well today. She untacked him and then groomed him by currying him off and then brushing him. Then, before she forgot, she mucked out his stall. Then, she let him back into his stall and blanketed him. Then, she turned her attention towards Boogie. Jill was going to let Boogie just stay in his stall today. She had never given him some time to get used to Cedar Brush, as he was a fairly new horse, so this would be a good time to let him relax. Plus, for the past three days she had been working him very hard. Jill would probably bring Boogie into dressage in a while, so he could do the type of stuff they did in 3-day eventing. But for now, he was to rest. Jill unblanketed him and gave him a bath. She started out rinsing him off. Then, she shampooed him everywhere-coat, mane, and tail. It seemed like this was the first time Boogie had been bathed in a while, and he really enjoyed it, he almost fell asleep. She let the soap soak in while Jill took out some mud clots in his tail. Then, she rinsed him off again after it had soaked into his mane. She then sweat scraped him and groomed him a bit more. She curried any loose fur off of him and then brushed him down until his coat was sparkling. Then, she sprayed some detangler in his mane and tail. She combed them out until they were nice and flowy. Satsfied, she put back on his blanket and let him into his stall again. She then turned her attention towards Chanceux. He was still sparkling from his bath yesterday as well. She wanted to blanket him and put him in the pasture, but then she realized that she hadn't bought turnout blankets! She ran back to the equine store to buy turnout blankets for each of her horses.
