Hi Ho

Ryan had fun just wondering on Buttons and talking to her at the same time while she waited for Hunter. It was not so bad and the horse was so gentle. As Hunter came back she smiled and continued to have fun. Even Hunters corrections were fun as she tried to learn more about riding. 

The time moved all too quickly and soon they were putting Buttons away again. Ryan promised her she would be back to ride on her again one day. Looking up at Hunter as they got outside and he got on Bonzi she grinned. She would be riding in the back today, she wasn't so sure about that but it was worth a shot. 

   "Alright, but if I fall off, just leave me in the mud with my own embarrassment."

Getting up on the horse proved a little harder with getting behind Hunter this time but she got it after a few trys. She felt like she really was going to fall but she did her best to calm her nerves. Putting her arms around Hunter she was ready.

   "Hi ho Silver and away..."

   "I think everyone falls off once or twice when they are learning to ride. I'm happy you got back up though. Jeff says that's the most important part."

Rubbing some more oil into the saddle Ashlee laughed as Travis bumped her and just elbowed him back. Looking at him and smiling shaking her head. She knew he hadn't done it on mistake but just liked to play along. 

As the door opened Ashlee looked up and saw Dylan and gave a friendly smile but it felt like the air was being sucked out of the room as the tension grew between the two men. She didn't know what it was, or why but it bothered her. She beted Dylan and Travis could be good friend if they just tried.\\

Finishing rubbing the oil into the saddle Ashlee let out a long sigh before standing and putting it back. Coming back to the room where they both were she looked between them. She wouldn't mind spending time with both if they got along. She missed Dylan's friendship. 

   "Honestly, I don't feel like being in the middle of an ego trip between two people who should know better. I'm going for a walk."

And with that Ashlee headed out of the tack room and started across the yard. She didn't know what it was with those two and each other but it drove her nuts and she hated it.

Karla laughed thinking about the day she had come in here and they had given her a job. She must have looked a mess. It had been a rough day...but at least some good came out of it and she got a job here. She loved working here, and she loved Levi and his dad. They were such nice people.

   "You got this, only business card that's not bad at all. Just keep telling yourself...I think I can I think I can."
