Ava brushed her hair and put it in a loose ponytail. She slipped on her boots, and glvoes, and grabbed her helmet. She headed towards the barn. She walked over to her mare's stall. "Hey Star." she said to the mare, kissing her muzzle and giving her a few mints. Ava slid the halter over Star's pretty face and lead her to the cross-ties. She groomed Star thoroughly and then tacked her up. Ava tightened the girth and adjusted her stirrups. She always preferred to do that before she left the cross-ties. Star stayed still better in the cross-ties than she did just loose. She gave the horse a pat and then unclipped her from the cross-ties. Ava glanced at her watch. 7:42. Ava lead Star outside to wait for CJ and his horse. Star pawed at the ground impaitently. "Easy girl." cooed Ava. Ava buckled her helmet and swung up into the English saddle as she saw CJ and the massive grey Quarter horse approach them.

Rodeo trotted easily along towards them. CJ barely moving to the smooth trot. HIs hands hanging limp on the neck because only a tap of the reins in which directions he wated her to go she would go immediatly. CJ smiled slightly and looked to her. Hello. He said with a smile. For once not i n his hat, just his shaggy brown hair.

"Hey." said Ava with a smile. Star whinnied and tugged at the reins. She wanted to go. She hadn't been out on the trails in what seemed like forever. The mare was chomping on the bit. "Easy." Ava warned the horse. Star immediately settled down, but continued to chomp at the bit. She tossed her head a few times.

CJ smiled slightly as the two and flicked his wrist slightly. Sitting deep in the saddle. Rodeo came to an abrupt halt. He looked to Star and laughed softly. Someones Chomping at the bit to go.. He said with a smile.

Ava laughed. "She's desperate. She hasn't been on the trails in a long time. And she loves riding at night, though, she is a bit more fidgetty and spooky at night time." she said. Star whinnied loudly and stamped her right front foot as if to say Let's go! Ava laughed. "We better get going before Star blows a gasket." she said, patting the anxious mare's neck.

He laughed slightly. Rodeo standing patiently as he was directed to. He nodded he nuged gently upon Rodeo's side. Rodeo walked toward towards Ava and Star. So.. Did you have a good rest of the day? He asked with a slight smile.

Ava smiled. "Yeah. Not too bad. Mum was busy so I had to teach one of her lessons for her but they were older kids, just learning to canter. It wasn't so bad." she said. She gave Star a gentle squeeze and Star immediately started to walk onto the trails. Ava gave the horse a pat.

"Thanks." she said with a smile. "How about you? How was your day?" Star was very alert on the trails, looking around at every little thing. She hadn't been on the trails in a long time and she was making sure that nothing had changed.

CJ smiled slightly and nodded. Pretty good.. Pretty laid back, thank goodness. He said with a smile. All he had done was fed and sorted some cows into their pasture. He looked to Rodeo whom settled into the night and walked steadily along.

Ava smiled. "I hate being too busy, but I hate being too laid back. I need something to do, but I want to be able to take my time and do it when I feel like it." she said. It was true. Ava felt weird if she didn't leave the house for the day.

Ava laughed. "Yeah. I hate having to do stuff on a Sunday. I just wanna sleep and relax and watch TV on Sundays. It's the only day of the week that I really get a break." she said with a smile. She gave Star another pat.

He smiled slightly and nodded. Yeah.. Sunday is sapposed to always be the rancher or the farmers day off. He said with a smile. That was what he was raised with. You go to church on Sunday, then you take the day off and spend it with your family, either riding or att imes bucking the bulls.. But not manual labor.

Ava laughed. "If God took Sunday off, I think it means that everyone's entitled to it." she said with a smile. She was brought up with church on Saturday afternoon, or Sunday, and then relaxing and doing as you please the rest of the time.
