*I walk with the group, but my eyes are dark, despite the fact that their, white... well, thats awkward...* At least Major could be saved. *My voice suggests that there is more to my sentence, perhaps a 'No thanks to you'*	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

Parelli, I asked you to stay home and calm down the horses and attend to the pony who showed up at our place. Julie: *drives the truck into the driveway* Okay! Back to work! I'm going to start working with some of the horses. There are stalls that need to be mucked out and horse to work with and train. Oh. Hello Becky!

Major:*kicks the trailer walls, and it rocks along. Then the trailer stops, and Major panics. The humans would be coming in soon, and they would touch him, and hit him, or something like that. Major kicks like crazy, and pins his ears back when the doors open, and Julie steps in. He wants her to leave him alone. He wants to be free again. His ears relax a bit, as he daydreams of the wonderful life he had been captured out of. Julie snaps on the lead rope, Major pins his ears back again, and half rears, intending to do a full one, but hits his head on the roof. He comes down winded, and dazed. Julie take advantage of it, and takes him to a square corral. She talks softly to him, and then takes the lead rope off, and Major returns from his daze. He perks up, and runs off, kicking, and bucking his way around corral, searching for an escape.	Danielle Rose & Dandy

(correction. A 50 foot ROUND corral. We don't have any Square ones.) Julie: I'm going to join up now, but first I need to get him used to the corral for a bit. He's pretty scared right now. I hate to do this now, but I have to if I'm going to get close to him to heal his cuts. You want to watch Jason? Gemma? Becky? Marian you can explain what's going on. I just need him used to it	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Parelli: Um Ithink it's Moody. And The horse that Jason was riding, I forget who. And Justice who is Becky's pony showed up and is was making a big fuss, but his rider woke up so Becky and Justice are now at the door. Julie: *Once Major accustoms himself to the ring, I take the aggressive pose. I stare in hi eyes, square my shoulders to him and raise my arms, my fingers spread wide.* Go! Go! *I chase Major around the ring.* Marian: Okay, so my Mom found this out from a man named Monty Roberts. He watched wild horses in the wild, and saw, that when a foal was being unruly and not listening to the matron mare, she would send him from the herd she would push him and push him till he gave her the signals that say that he wants to come back. This is what my mom is doing now, pushing him away from all living things, he can't have a herd by him if someone is keeping him away. The first signal is one ear locked on my Mom. This means that he is deciding to pay attention to mom. The reason why he wants to "come back" is because he has a herd instinct that tells him he's not safe all alone.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Sorry, Maid. Oh, and is the round pen, grass, or sand? I'll do grass. Jason:I think Julie's gonna do just fine with him. *rests his folded arms on top of the fence to watch what he could never have enough patience to do. Major:Gallops around the ring bucking and trying to kick dirt at the humans all around him. He stops suddenlly, and then lowers his head to graze, but only gets one bite before Julie sends him off again, doing the same thing, kicking dirt up, and ignoring Julie. After about an hour of this, Major gets bored with bucking, and just trots lazily around the grass ring.	Danielle Rose & Dandy
