The young women brushed her straight brown bangs from her eyes and pursed her lips tight as she walked down the aisle way of the barn. It was evident in her step that she was on a mission. She reached her destination extending her hand out to turn the cold doorknob of the office.
She slipped in and sunk down into the chair with a heavy sigh.
It had been an overwhelmingly busy day and the day wasn't over yet. Sky didn't mind having all these people around but when they started complaining about the grass being green she had to get away.
It had been so quite and peacful when she arrived this morning at five. She'd even gotten to sneak a peak at the new born foal that had arrived in the night. He had been so cute in his fuzzy black coat stumbling around on his stilts of legs and nipping at his mother with his velvet soft nose.
Thinking of the foal brought a smile that curved on Sky's lips. She leaned forward grabbing some papers that sat in the corner. If she was here she might as well do something usful.
She peared out the window for a moment,watching the surrounding events before imerging herself deeply in her paperwork.This was the only part of being in charge of a stable.Sky despized paperwork but she knew it had to be done but still,she prayed for a distrataction.

Summer walked down the center of the aisle, looking at every horse stuck in the boxes. She stopped at her own horse, and rubbed his nise when he approached. She laughed and carried on down the center. She knocked on the office door and waited silently. She needed the groom timetable of each horse. |

Sky rubbed her forhead with her left hand as she starred into a piece of paper. Her eyes still drifting outside to spot the occasional horse and rider walking by. It was such a beautiful day that she wished she could continue putting all this paperwork aside for a 'rainy day' but it was just piling up to high and she knew,much to her regret,that it had to be done.
Sky had already ridden her own horses along with a few of her client's horses as well. She felt she might as well pull her own weight right along with the rest of the people who worked at Correlli Acres. It was just her nature and she loved doing the everyday chores and requirements that consisted of horses.
She leaned back in her chair letting her mind wonder back to her horse's workouts. Both Royal and Quest worked exceptionally well and Sky was very pleased.
A soft knock at the door made Sky snapped back to reality. She shuffled a few papers to make it look like she had actually been working before turning slightly to the closed door.
"Come in."She said waiting for the door to open to reveal the person on the otherside. A smile formed on the girl's lips as her distraction from paperwork had finally arrived.

Summer opened the door slowly. She looked at the girl sat in the office. Realizing that she was shuffling papers, she smiled embarrassingly. Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm the new groom and I need the horse timetable. I said, nervously. I sighed and took a step back. Maybe I should come back later! |

Sky watched as the girl opened the door.She looked slightly embarressed.Sky smiled,it was warm and kind as always ,as she motioned for the girl to come in.
"No,come in please."She said,giving another motion for the girl to come in. Sky was a warm person and naturally always happy,not the kiddish happy but just always had a pleasant smile on her face.
"I needed a break from all this mess."She chuckled glancing at her papered covered desk.So when it came to anything but horses,she wasn't that organized.
Sky glanced back over to the girl."Summer,right?"She asked praying silently in her head she had the right name. Sky wouldn't deny it,she was awful with names but on the other hand she could remember every horse's name she ever laid eyes on. People were another story. When the girl mention the timetables Sky rose and walked over to the laptop and printer. She clicked through somefiles before she found what she was after and clicked the print button.
"I have to apoligize."She started."The work load may seem overwhelming due to lack of staff but I promise that within' a week or so it'll get much better."
Sky bit her bottom lip as she was reminded of the job applications she had to run through sometime today. However,she was amazed at how many had fallen on her desk but half of them weren't worth her time.
The printer quit humming and the paper shot out,SKy grabbed it and strode over to the girl.
"There you are." She handed her the papers. |

Summer walked a little further into the office and closed the door. Yeah, it's a really easy name to remember, especially since my birthdays in summer! She laughed a little. She didn't mean to sound rude but to her, that sentence did. She sighed and took the paper. Thanks, and if you ever need any help, you know where I'll be! she smiled. She looked at the paper, running down the times and horses names. |

Sky chuckled at the girl's comment about her name before leaning back in the office chair.
"I may have to take you up on that."She joked when Summer offered her help.Turning towards being more serious Sky looked up at the girl."Do you have any questions?" Sky was always more then willing to answer any questions and she knew how people could be,stubburn as hell to ask any even if it was just tiny.
Cinch,Sky's border collie,bumped the half closed door with his nose and walked in.Stopping to sniff the girl's shoes momentarily before laying beside the desk at Sky's feet. The girl reached out with a gently hand and ran her figures through the ruff of fur on the black and white dog's neck while she waited for Summer to speak.

Summer smiled as the dog sniffed her. She reached down quickly to pet it as it strolled by. She looked up and shook her head. I don't think I have any, I've been wandering around trying to get to grips with the place. She sighed and looked out the window. Oh, and I saw the new foal today! It's so cute! Have you thought of a name yet? she asked, her eyes switching back to her. |

Sky knew what it was like to move somewhere to work and having to 'get with the program'. It could be very hard especially since every owner/trainer had their own way of doing things and sometimes a worker agreed or dissagreed with those ways.
"Well if you need anything just give me a shout."She offered.
When summer brought up the foal Sky's mind drifted to the stall where the tiny black baby and his mother rested quietly.
"I think he is adorable and we have five more coming as well!"She laughed slightly letting the smile stay on her lips." And no I haven't even thought of a name yet."She paused for a moment."You have any suggestions?" She asked. Sky loved foals,they were her weakness. She couldn't wait till her other five broodmares had their foals and the anticipation of what they where going to be like made butterflies in Sky's belly.

Summer's mind drifted away to the foal. Black fluffy coat, sweet face. She thought back to the time of birth. What about Midnight Black? Seeing as he was born at midnight and he's black! she said, watching the dog a little before turning her attention back to Sky. She folded up the paper and slipped it into her pocket. |

Sky smiled at the suggestion. It was a great name and quite suitable for the young foal.
"I like it!"She announced. Her hand went to her face to brush away some loose brown hairs that had slipped from her ponytale.
"One named,five to go."She laughed."However,it'd be easier to name them all once we get to know that and start working them."
Sky knodded to her own statement.She knew many times back home they'd name a horse and start working with it and the name would be quite unsuitable for the horse's personality. Every horse had their own personlity and quircks and thats one of the many reasons why Sky loved them.

Summer smiled, and sighed. Well, I'm glad you like it. And if you need any more names, then I'm happy to help! she said. 5 more foals?! She couldn't wait. She took a quick glance at the dog and sighed again. She yawned and looked around. I better get going, you need to get on with your work! |

Sky knodded,"Thanks I probably will need some help naming them."
A sigh escaped her lips as the girl mentions the paperwork again."Thanks,"She said,a hint of sarcasm dripping from her sweet voice."This is the only part of the job i really hate."She chuckled and looked back over at the girl. |
