Ginger lead her beautiful appaloosa stallion, Xander, down the path to the outdoor ring. As she approached the ring, she heard the sound of thundering hooves. She tied her horse to the fence and made sure the saddle was tightened.
Once the she deemed the saddle safe to ride, Ginger untied her horse and lead him into the jumping ring. She mounted her horse, grabbed the reigns, and softly squeezed the stallion's sides with her heels. The horse started walking and the glided smoothly to a trot and then a canter.
She gave Xander's, the stallion, reigns a ginger tug to the right and the horse turned into the jumping course. Ginger leaned forward as Xander neared the first jump. As Xander's feet left the ground and he glided over the jump. Ginger tightened her grip on the reigns and pushed her heels down.
Xander's hooves hit the ground and he cantered on to the next jump. Ginger smiled as they cleared the last jump and she slowed Xander to a stop. She smiled and reigned Xander over to walk towards the fence. "You've got a really pretty horse. What's his name?" she called to the boy riding on the chestnut horse.
Ginger never really saw any other breeds of horses except Appaloosas at her farm. It was always exciting to see another new rider with a different breed of horse. "I'm Ginger, by the way. And this is my horse Xander." she added. As if in response, Xander gave a small whinny.
(I decided not to edit the top post. And this thread is a mix of both western and English stables)

Ginger smiled and leaned forward in her saddle. "So, I'm guessing you're the new guy who everyone was talking about. It's certainly quite an experience to be around here." she said. Her red hair fell inti her face and she blew it out of the way in a second.
"My mom says that you're about my age. And between you and me, don't be surprised if she attempts to hook us up. She always tries to. Like this one time, me and my friend Zack were going to go meet some of my friends for laser tag and she starts telling him about how much of a good couple him and I would be! It was so embarressing." she laughed.

Ginger smiled. "You know, my friends and I are heading into town tonight. We were all gonna catch a movie. Wanna come?" she asked.
Xander let out a loud whinny and tossed his head. Ginger tightened her grip on his reigns and pulled back a little bit. Xander backed up slightly and sneezed. "Sometimes my horse." she laughed.

"Yeah. That'd be great because my car is in the shop. The tire popped after the competition yesterday." Ginger said. Xander looked at the other stallion and snorted at him.

"I should go right now. Xander is getting antsy and I have to go care for my other two horses. See ya later!" Ginger called as she trotted off on Xander, the stallion gracefully lifting his legs high. She smiled as she thought, He's gonna fit right into our little group of ranchers.
As the horse and rider approached the barn, a shrill whinny called out to Xander from the pasture. A tiny appaloosa colt came trotting up to the fence, its mother right behind. "I was just coming to see you guys!" Ginger said softly. She untacked Xander quickly and released him out to the pasture.
Ginger grabbed a bucket from the feed room and filled it with the types of grains and supplements on the board. She carried it over to the tack room, where she grabbed a grooming kit and a lead rope. She walked out to the pasture with all of these items and walked up to the mare, hold out her hand so she could sniff it. "Hey, Clara. How's my pretty girl?" Ginger murmured as the horse pressed its muzzle against her hand.
She smiled and hooked the feed bucket onto the fence post. Ginger grabbed the hose and refilled their water tub too. When she was finished, she took out a curry comb and a body brush and began grooming Clara while she ate. The little colt cantered over to see what was going on and nudged Ginger's leg with its tiny nose.
"I didn't forget about you! You're such an attention hog, Kota." she laughed and pulled a carrot from her pocket. She fed the baby horse it and then she went back to brushing Clara, laughing as she glimpsed the colt running and bucking around the pasture.

Ginger finished up the rest of her work with the horses and headed to the hay loft. She slipped on her pair of leather working gloves and climbed the ladder. When she was up, she started seperating the hay and hummed a tune while she did. Then she started softly singing her favorite song, You're Not Alone by Big Time Rush. youtu.be/4Ysg21EzGLE
