Vivian smiled. "Good girl, Rose, good girl!" She said. They cantered around the ring a few more times, than Vivian slowed her to a walk and walked back over to the gate where Sean and Amy were. She patted Rose's shoulder and stroked her neck. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it now girl?" She said softly, then dismounted, passing her reins back to Sean. "Be good for him too." She said, stroking the mare's face. She turned to Sean and smiled. "If you have any more trouble with her, you know where to find me." She said with a smile, then turned to walk back to the stable with Amy. She slouched a bit as she walked. "Phew. That was fun..." She said sarcastically.
Ella snorted and started pacing around her stall when she saw Vivian returning.
Majestad watched her walk back towards them as well and nickered to both Vivian and Amy.

Rose snorted, relevied to have Vivian off her back. She was exsausted. Shaking her mane she stayed put, waiting to get a signal. It felt good to be praised a little..
Sean smiled at Vivian. "Thanks Vivian." Sean held the reins, and led Rose back into the ring. He mounted the mare, and losened the reins a little before nudging her into a walk, cooling the mare out.
Amy's mouth dropped open. "Viv you were a-m-a-z-i-n-g!" Amy said pulling Vivian into a hug. "C'mon let's go feed the horses before we go eat supper." Amy said smiling pulling away, walking into the stable. At the same time she past by Pancake's stall who nickered at the sight of Amy. Amy grinned and scratched behing Pancake's ears. "Someones feeling better already." Amy said smiling. Pancake bobbed her head eager to be fed. Amy laughed before letting herself into Pancake's stall and unhooking Pancake's hay net before going to the feed room and refilling it with hay. She came back and hung it back in it's spot. She picked up Pancake's water bucket and walked outside, refilling the bucket with the hose and then coming back and putting the bucket back into it's usual spot in Pancake's spot. Amy smiled and patted Pancake's neck. "There. Enjoy girl." Amy said, coming otu of the stall and locking the door. She came over to Vivian. "Need help?"

Vivian smiled back at Sean. "No problem!" she said. She was a bit surprised by Amy but smiled and hugged her back. "Haha thanks." She said laughing. She walked into Majestad's stall first, who nuzzled her as she entered. Vivian smiled and stroked his face. "Hey boy." She said. She unhooked Majestad's hay net first and refilled it with hay, rehooked it and then went to Ella's stall. She opened the door to be greeted with Ella's nose thrust into her chest. Vivian started a bit, but then laughed. "Ella! Silly mare.." She said, pushing her off and unhooking the haynet, refilled it and returned it. She then refilled both horse's water buckets as well and gave them their grain for the night. She patted Ella once more, closed her door, and returned to Majestad's stall. "Well, I could use some help rebandaging him." She said, sighing as she began to unwind and remove his wrappings.
Majestad winced as the bandages were removed and they tugged slightly at his injured flesh where the blood had dried and was sticking to the wraps. His ears flickered back and forth and he nickered uncomfortably. He squealed once when they stung.
Vivian patted his side. "Easy, my boy..." She said soothingly.

Amy smiled a little. "Sure." Amy followed Vivian into Majestad's stall stroking his forhead behind his ears before helping Vivian clean out his wounds. "Shh." Amy sooth, stroking him.
Pancake ears flickered to Majestad's stall. She lifted her head from her feed and hung her head over her stall. She stretched out her neck and gave Majestad a nuzzle rubbing her head against his forehead.
Sean came in with a cooled down Rose. He ground tied her and untacked her, placing her tack on her stall door, and replacing her bridle with her leather halter. He took hold of her halter and grabbed a soft brush rubbing her down, before leading her out of the stable to put her on the hotwalker.
As Rose was being led away, she quickly pulled away and wheeled around. "ROSE!" She charged at Pancake and lashed her hooves at Pancake's face, missing her by inches. "Get away from him!" She tossed her head as she half reared coming back down and pawing wildly at the ground.
Pancake tucked her head back in quickly, her ears laid back, bareing her teeth at Rose. She reared in her stall, kicking out at the high strung mare.
Rose wheeled around, dodging Sean's hand and lashed out, dareing to bite him. Perfect.. Rose didn't see Vivian in sight and charged at Ella kicking and lashing her hooves out at her, tossing her head.

Ella screamed and beat at her stall door again. With one final hard hit, it snapped and Ella charged out, rearing up to full height and striking at Rose.
Majestad pinned his ears back and began pacing nervously in his stall, shoving his nose into Vivian's chest.
Vivian gasped and bolted out of Majestad's stall when she saw Ella break out.
Ella came down and whinnied in fright seeing Vivian get between Rose and her. She forced herself in front of Vivian, her ears pinned back. "I swear, if you try to hurt her, I'll rip you to bloody pieces." She threatened glaring at Rose.
With his stall door left open, Majestad walked out very carefully, limping and placed himself between his sister and Rose. "Stop. Now." He said quietly, but his voice was threatening.
Vivian moved out from behind Ella and advanced on Rose. She stood in front of Majestad and grabbed at her halter, yanking her head down to eye level and staring the mare right in the eye. "Do it again. I dare you." She said, her voice low and commanding.

Pancake's head shot backwards, her ears pinned down, rearing in her stall, bucking as she paced around her stall nervously lashing out at anyone or anything that came near her. Her eyes rolled as she reared again kicking at the stall door, then the walls feeling the wall was tightening into her. She screamed, sweat dripping from her body.
Amy gasped when she saw Rose, and the piercing scream of Pancake. She ran to Pancake's stall, and slipped herself inside. "Pancake! Shhh. Girl calm down. Your okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." Amy smoothed. She took hold of Pancake's halter when she came down. She stroked Pancake's muzzle, smoothing words so only Pancake could hear. "That's a good girl. What a gorgeous girl. Nothing to be afraid. That's it." Pancake's eyes stopped rolling and began to relax a little. "Shh." Amy walked Pancake in tight circles, calming her down. She couldn't leave Pancake alone in her stall, but she also couldn't leave Vivian in the middle, and the other horses kicking and bucking in their stalls. It was to much to handle. Amy quickly picked her phone out of her pocket and dialed her dad, Casey, Alex, and her mom. She told them quickly over the phone that she needed help at the stable before hanging up. Pancake's muscles were tensed and her ears pricked back and forth.
She grinned at Ella. "I dare you to try." Rose half reared glaring back at Ella. She came down and pawed the ground wildly when Vivian yanked her down. She snorted and tossed her head trying to get rid of Vivian's grip. She tried to rear and yank back. Rose snorted and stood there, not daring to try. It was everyone against her. What was the chance?
Sean walked calmly over. "Vivian I'm so so so sorry for the trouble Rose caused. I won't let her back in here." Sean grabbed a lead rope and clipped it on Rose's halter. He pulled at her halter. "Get over here." He sneered. Rose immediately followed, and Sean tightened the rope and held her close to him by the halter. He led her outside and into the high corral. He unclipped the lead rope and quickly got out and bolted the gate shut tight.
Casey and Alex quickly ran into the stable. They didn't even need to ask Amy what was going on. They both bolted into the frighted stalls, and immediately started to calm the horses down.
Tom ran into the stable with his wife. "What is going on here!?" He demanded seeing Ella break out of the stall, and Majestad who was injured out of his stall with no bandages and then Pancake who was sweating with his daughter trying to calm the mare down.

Vivian smiled at Sean and laughed a little. "It's no problem. No one was hurt." She said, then froze hearing Amy's dad. She turned around, embarressed. "I'm sorry sir! It was Rose, she started attacking Pancake and Ella and then..." She trailed off and stoof silent for a moment, then turned and walked back into Majestad's stall. "Come on boy." She said, patting her leg.
Majestad's ears flickered uneasily for a moment towards Tom and his wife and the new people and he quickly limped after Vivian back into his stall. "I'm sorry..." He said, nuzzling Vivian with a pitiful look.
Vivian stroked his face. "I'll be right back to finish patching you up." She said, closing and bolting the door behind her.
Ella remained completely still in the middle of the isle way, her nostrils flared and her body shining with sweat and her breathing hard. She pricked her ears towards Vivian as she came out of Majestad's stall and took a few steps towards her to see if she was ok.
Vivian reached up to stroke Ella's face. "You goose. You could have really hurt someone." She said as she clipped a lead rope onto her halter. "I think she could use a walk to calm her nerves. Pancake could probably use one too..." She suggested to Amy.
Ella looked up at Pancake. "Are you alright? She didn't hurt you?" She asked her.

Amy turned to see her dad. "Rose broke free and she started to go wild, attacking Pancake and Ella. That's why I text you. All the horses were going wild and were shying. We needed help."
Tom nodded. "That mare is dangerous. She is forbidden to come back into the stable. She stays in the coral and in the pasture alone, until further notice. Clear?" He said serious shifting his hat over his eyes before walking out of the stable.
Amy bit her lip. But she nodded. She knew her dad. And he was going to sell Rose. Amy turned to look at Vivian who came by the stall with Ella. Amy nodded. "Agree." Amy said patting Pancake's neck. She clipped her lead rope onto Pancake's halter and led her out of the stall.
Pancake snorted. "I'm fine. Close but no. How about you?" Pancake said nuzzling Ella. She followed Amy out of her stall.

Vivian clicked her tongue and Ella turned and started walking after her. They exited the stable and Vivian waited a moment for Amy to catch up. "You alright?" She asked her.
Ella turned her head around to see Pancake. "I'm fine, but I wanna rip Rose apart..." She snorted, tossing her head.
Vivian tugged lightly on the leadrope and started walking Ella around to the outside of the pasture. She turned to Amy. "What's going to happen to Rose?" She asked, looking at the mare in the pasture.

Amy caught up with Vivian. She smiled. "Yeah, I'm just glad none of the horses got hurt." The two walked side by side.
Pancake bobbed her head. "She doesn't get it does she? If she continues she's going to be shipped off to another home, meaning she's going to be apart from Sean."
Amy sighed. "My dad is probably going to ship her to another home. I know she's being really high-strung, but I know their's a soft spot in side of her."

Vivian looked down at the ground as they walked. "What if...what if I helped with her training?" She suggested. "You saw how I got her to move today..." She said. She knew it was a wild suggestion, but hey, if it meant that Sean and Rose could stay together, then she'd help.
Ella nodded. "She's not too bright. She may have gotten some looks to her, but I don't think there's much going on upstairs." She said with a wink and a snort.

Amy raised her eyebrow at Vivian. "I know...but if I say yes to this idea, I'm going to get into a lot of trouble..dad doesn't want us to touch Rose.." Amy thought hard as they walked the horses around the stable. Then it was like a light went off in her head. "I know! After supper we can start trying to train Rose. Dad is gone to go look at some horses with mum, and Alex and Case have to get home. We'll be on the only ones here with Amber! It's Perfect!" Amy explained.
Pancake snorted, agreeing with Ella.

Vivian's eyes got bright. "Awesome!" She said with a smile. "I think she just needs some proper training and guidance. She seems like she could be a great horse if she would behave. She won't be a suitable mount for the cattle drive either at this rate..." She said. She reached up at patted Ella on the neck. "Goodness, these two really got worked up. They're still sweating." She said with a bit of a frown.
Ella chuckled then reached down and nuzzled Vivian.
Majestad stood quietly in his stall. It felt good to let his wounds air out for a while. It stung slightly, but the cool air was soothing as well.

Amy nodded. Amy stroked Pancake's muzzle, massaging her forehead, causing Pancake to shut her eyes and blow softly. Amy smiled. "Pancake loves it when I massage her."
Pancake snorted and nudged Amy nuzzling her.
Amy slapped Pancake's neck affectionately before clicking her tongue and leading her around the pasture again. "Hey Vivian did you know we have a race track? It's far into the pasture. To be honest when I got here, it took me three weeks until I knew."

Vivian perked up. "A racetrack?" She repeated.
Ella snorted and yawned as she started to cool down. The evening was quickly approaching and she was worn out from the skirmish with Rose. She snorted again and tugged at Vivian's sleeve, motioning back to the stables.
