[Man O' War Lover]

"OK we need to start his gate training though-

[redhead14]

Maria
"Alright when ever your ready" I say

[Man O' War Lover]

As I rode Hummingbrid to the gate I had Sammy open the gate door's so we could load the horses in. "We need to take it easy though just walk theme inside to get use to the gate it will take a while for theme to even aproch it." I said. Sammy walked up to Funny Feet and took ahold of his bridle to lead him in-

[redhead14]

Maria
"Easy boy its ok" I say as we approach the starting gate. Samy comes over to help with funny feet as I coo to him and stroke his neck calming him as we get closer to the gate. I look at ray " he feels jumpy" I say as I calm funny feett

[Man O' War Lover]

Funny Feet tuged away fron the groom's who tried to load him into the gate. "Take him in nice and slow." called Sammy. I watched as Funny Feet hoped around with tossing head. He calmed down a bit but as they had him half way in the gate I heard him squel and he twisted his body and through his head agianst the bar's. They backed him out quickly-

i stay on funny feet while he gets upset. " easy boy its ok" i sya patting his neck " settle down it cant hurt you at all i promise" i coo to him as i gently message his shoulder then gently and slowly push him forward

[Man O' War Lover]

The groom's lead him into the gate and close the mesh door's behind him. They wait tell he calmed down. Then they unloaded him and lead him in agian. After the fith time. Soon they had him in. Sammy looked at Maria and noded. "Ready?" He pushed the button and the gate door's flew open-

[redhead14]

maria
" good boy" i say as funnyfeet starts to go through the gate easily. as we load and get ready to go i get close to his neck " ok boy im going to need to todo really good and break good for me lets do this boy" i say as i rub his neck tighten my grip on the riens and put some of his mane in my hand as we get ready to break firm the gate

[Man O' War Lover]

The gate door's flew open! As Sammy pressed the button-

[redhead14]

maria
we surge forward straight form the gate. a huge smile on my face as we go

[Man O' War Lover]

Sammy had the colt braought bak to break from the gate they went over it agian and agian. Fianly they lead the colt back to the barn. I watched the groom's take care of the colt and then asked Maria "Do you want to go to the track with use early and help get Funny Feet settled in?"

[redhead14]

Maria
I smile "id love to" I say to ray as I hand funny feet off to the grooms to cool him down. " hey do you want to go work with deep silence?" I ask ray as a hear deep silence's whinny coming from the yearling barn

[Man O' War Lover]

"Sure since he is up the groom might be greatful if you did some more work with him." I said laughing a little as we head to the yearling barn-

[redhead14]

maria
i smile and gently push him " hey hes not that bad" i say as we enter the yearling barn

[Man O' War Lover]

Deep Silence had his head over the stall door watching as we enterd. "Hey big guy." I said stopping infront of the stall but I did not get any closer-

[redhead14]

Maria
I smile as soon as I see his head over the door " hey pretty boy" I coo to him as I stroke his muzzle and scratch his neck

[Man O' War Lover]

The yearling nuzzled her shirt and hand's looking for atention. "He seem's to have missed you." I said smiling. I went and grabed a brush box. "You want to try and groom him in the cross ties?" I asked.

[redhead14]

Maria
=d love too" I say with a smiel. Turning my attention back to deep silence I get his halter " hey boy how about a nice brushing to make your coat shinny " I say as I put his halter on and lead him from the stall

[Man O' War Lover]

The yearling followed but stoped in the barn isle as I reached out to clip the cross ties onto his halter he throw his head alittle but listend to Maria. When I got them on I stepped back to let Maria brush him-

[redhead14]

Maria
I start talking softly to deep silence as I start to groom him. As I groom him I look at ray and say " I've been thinking and sometimes horses that have tempers just want one person to work with them. Like this filly named rushing river back at my grandfathers stables will only let my grandmother and her jockey get close to her maybe that's why deep silence was soo grumpy in the first place"

[Man O' War Lover]

"Yeah some horse are a one man horse, but no one has ever gained a bound with him like you have." I said leaning agianst the wall. "Storm Stride ha s abit of a temper but ofcourse he was sired by Magic Man." I laughed a little. Deep Silence shook his main and nuzzled Maria as she groomed him-

[redhead14]

Maria
I laugh " well I'm better with understanding horses then I am people isn't that right silence" I say as I pat the colts neck and smile at ray.

[Man O' War Lover]

I smile a little "Well you understand me don't you?" I asked smiling as the yearling bobed his small head. Hie main was all fuzzy since it was not grown out yet and his tail short but some day he would be big and strong, father said he might stand 18 hand's! I had never seen such a horse?

[redhead14]

Maria
I look away from ray blushing " maybe sometimes" I say with a teasing tone in my voice as I look at him again and smile. "Oh you behave " I say with a laugh as deep silence nudges me as if to say stop paying attention tto ray and pay attention to me
