Holly slowed the car to a halt in the yard, she could hear the two horses in the back, no doubt eager to see where they had come to. They were both thoroughbreds, Trea, still worthy of the track, and Echo, a leisure horse, possibly good for a jumping round.
Holly got out of her car, looking around for a second, she hadn't had a chance to ring up first so she wasn't even sure the two animals could stay here. But there was no harm in asking. She knew about two other stables that may be good for boarding if she couldn't find anyone here.

Askett pulled up in her driveway, trailer rattling behind her truck, to find someone there waiting for her. As she stepped out of the cab, she could hear Decide banging anxiously against the back of her trailer, nickering and whinnying. Hoping that she could help this girl before her new horse broke out of the trailer, Askett stepped towards the stranger. "Hey there, how can I help you?"

Trea snorted and kicked out at the back of the trailer his normally calm personality breaking from so much time spent penned up with another horse. His hoof collided with the back and rang out. The big bay shifted his weight and cried out stomping one large hoof as if to demand he be let out and allowed to run. |

Steady boys, you'll be coming out soon enough Soothing tones did little to settle the stallions, it was barely even heard over Echo's calls. Then Deci's response.
Holly assumed that this girl was the one she was looking for.
Yeah, actually I was just wondering if I could board two horses here? Both stallions.

"Of course," Askett replied smiling. Finally, some business. "We've got lots of room. Boarding is $30 a week, which includes personalized feeding and turnout schedules. You can unload anywhere over there." She added, gesturing towards the barn. "Just pick some stalls, most are unoccupied. Oh, and by the way, my name's Askett James. My brother and I run this place." She grinned, holding her hand out for a handshake.

Holly took Askett's hand, pleased with the girl's response, the horses were sure to be happy to not have to move again. Maybe they just wouldn't realize that until they got off, if the stomping showed anything.
Holly moved the float to where Askett had said, at which point she made sure the two were ready to get off, first unclipping Echo's lead rope, lowering the back ramp, and moving his rump bar aside. She had been told this is how he got off, rather than being led down. It worked for her. Echo threw his head impatiently, as he was led into a stall, his hoof pawing the ground, seemingly expecting more than a pat and bit of carrot.
She then moved to Trea, getting him off in a similar way, and leading him into another stall. Close to Echo.
Bye guys, you two be good, i'll be down to see you tomorrow She said after checking they had water available.

Trea paced in his new stall the riding having gotten him geared up. Being so close to another horse in a box... well a trailer that to him seemed something like a breaking gate had made him ready to run. Firm muscles were like coiled springs ready to break. |
