Firestorm galloped back into the barn stopping by Nikki's side, pushing her muzzle over her shoulder, and breathed in her face, her ears perked forward. Ash continued to follow close behind her mother, now investigating one of the old barn cats.

Nicole laughed as Firestorm breathed on her. "You're so cute." she said and kissed Firestorm's snout. She walked over to the mare's stall and hung the bucket on the wall in the corner. "Eat up." she said and slipped a carrot to Ash.
As Nicole walked down the aisle between the stalls, she spotted Luke feeding his horse. She walked over to him and said, "Hey!" She flipped her bangs out of her face and smiled.

Ash crunched on the carrot happily, while still eyeing the old barn cat. The cat arched his back and hissed. Ash jumped back, startled, then stuck her nose back into the cats face again The cat batted at her face, scratching her muzzle, then darting away up to the hayloft. Ash, whinnied in surprise, running back to her mothers side again who had walked back into the stall. Ash tried to suckle, but Firestorm moved away. It was about time that Ash was weened. (sp.?)

(nicole's horse's name is Keeko. u r thinking of xander from the other thread)
Nicole grumbled to herself as he walked away, "Well that was rude." She walked over to Keeko's pasture and whistled loudly. Keeko came galloping and abruptly stopped by the fence. Nicole held the bucket over the fence to feed Keeko. The stallion shoved his snout into the bucket and immediately started eating his feed.

Firestorm whinnied upset from her tall door. She'd neither been groomed nor pet today. Nikole always sued to let her for long periods of time until she got Keeko and Ash was born. Nikole just didn't seem to have time for her anymore.

She hung the bucket on the fence post while Keeko continued eating. "Hey, Luke. I could use some help giving Firestorm a 'shower' with the hose. Wanna help?" she asked. Nicole had been getting all her other chores done before she had to wash and brush her prized mare. Many people had always thought that Firestorm was one of the best mares within 10 miles of the place. So, there were many offers of studs to be bred to Firestorm. Nicole had carefully selected one and then Ash was born. The worst part was that the owner of the stud wanted a colt, not a filly, and basically kicked Ash to the curb and went to find another mare. That was when Nicole took Ash into her care and took Keeko in who had been similarily abandoned.

Firestorm called out again, tossing her head anxiously.

Firestorm trotted out of her open stall door eagerly. She hadn't gotten much attention in such a long time.

Nicole pulled two fourths of an apple and held them in her palm for Firestorm to eat. "C'mon girl. You need a hose down." she said, coaxing her mare toward the horse bathing area.

Firestorm stepped out willingly, her lip twitching in a little habit she had, in anticipation of the treat.
