***Joining Up***
Hello and Welcome to Winning Trust Horse Farm for hurt or abused or what people call "Problem Horses" to come and have the mental scars and hurts of the past removed, to help them learn to trust again and to find new owners to love and care for them

Gemma: *I walk up to Marian* Is there anything that needs done?	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

Julie: Marian, you show them what and how to feed while I go settle the details with Duke's owner. Marian: Alright mom. Okay, all the horses get one handful of oats and a pinch of the stuff in the five gallon pail. Diva gets nothing, as she has no teeth. We will have to give her her meds soon. Gemma you will feed Arrow, Moody and King. Becky, you feed Virtue, Lady and Diva. I'll get Moon's and Squint's. Remember, a handful of oats and a pinch of the stuff in the pail. Then each of the horses gets led to the water trough and then to the paddocks. Paddock E is the long pasture just behind the indoor arena and the stable. Pasture F is on the other side of the strip of woods. It's the one that is farther away from the stable. The other one back there is for growing stuff. Look on the chore sheet on page 2 to see which horse goes in which paddock. *Fills two pails with a handful and a pinch of stuff. Then I dump them in Moon and Squint's stalls.* Okay. Now we wait a couple of minutes till they finish.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

*I nod at Marian and grab three pails, I put a handful of grain in each and a pinch of the stuff, i put it in each stall, stroking each horse as I do but they all shy* OK, lets see who goes where...	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

*I read Moody, Arrow and King's part ARROW Feeding:â–¡ Pasture E: â–¡ Exercising: â–¡ Grooming:â–¡ Bed:â–¡ MOODY Feeding:â–¡ Pasture E: â–¡ Exercising: â–¡ Grooming:â–¡ Trust Work:â–¡ Bed:â–¡ KING Feeding:â–¡ Pasture E: â–¡ Exercising: â–¡ Grooming:â–¡ Treat By Trailer:â–¡ Bed:â–¡ I look at that and then walk to Marian* Are the horses ridable? Or do we lunge them to get them excersized?	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

Becky, I do understand. I was kind of the opposite of that a while back. I couldn't role a horse online, but I could in real life. And then I realized, if you pretend in real life first and then just write it down, everything goes fine! I hope I'll see you in some other clubs, and I hope if you ever get better at role playing a human, you'll come back here.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Marian: Okay Gemma, you will feed Arrow, Moody, King and Virtue. All the horses get one handful of oats and a pinch of the stuff in the five gallon pail. Diva gets nothing, as she has no teeth. We will have to give her her meds soon. I'll feed Lady and Diva and Moon and Squint. I always just give Diva a little handful of oats to test. She usually nibbles a little but then goes back to exploring my clothes with her cute little wiggly nose. I'm done feeding. You? When they finish eating, we can lead them out to the water trough if they want a drink. Until we get the water out there, the horses can't drink in the pasture. Moon has a interesting scratch, so I think we'll need to ride fence too. I had the vet give her a tetanus shot last night when we saw it.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

*I feed virtue and give Diva a pinch of oats, she nibbles one and then explores my clothes* Hmm... *I draw her attention back to the oats and step out, she eats them all* typical filly, easily distracted. Which of the horses I fed can be ridden?	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

Great Becky! I can give you a hint if you w-mail me from time to time.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Marian: Moody, King, Squint and Lady are rider proof. Squint is the best if you don't try to jump, Lady is really good too. I need to ride Moody until he gets used to you. King is pretty perfect too. He hates trailers though. Diva needs to go along when Lady comes though. Diva wont let anyone but me close, not even my mom.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Diva let me close. *I thikn a little* I think I'll ride King, we might have to jump a fallen log and Squint isn't a jumper. You have Moody and Lady has to have Diva with her so that would be bad in case something bad happens. So, King. *I grab a grooming kit and his tack, the I halter him and walk him out to the outside of his stall, I quickly tye a quick release knot and then I groom him until he sparkles (vampire horse!) and untangle his mane and tail, I braid his tail and then I pick out his hooves, then I put on the western saddle pad (Sorry if he is English) and then the saddle, I put on the girth and massage his stomach until he sighs, then tighten the girth, then I take the halter, unclip it and slide the nose off, I slide it down and clip it, he accepts the curb bit and I slide it onto his head and then I buckle all the buckles and then I put on the breast plate and boots and polo wraps, I give him a little kiss and turn to Marian and Moody* Ready?
