Johnson shook his head. "Sorry boy, sorry. I've got to make sure it's completely clean." He offered the stallion a mint in apologie. He didn't like the look of the wound. "Alright you stay here I'll be right back. I don't want that getting dirty." He dropped a few mints in front of the stallion and left to a storage room to get bandages.

((I know, I thought it did too! 3nodding ))
Kalypso lowered his head and snatched up the mints. He then took all the weight off the leg with the injured shoulder. He snorted in pain, but tried to ignore it. He looked around the stable, now that it was empty he could see what it really looked like. There were rows of large boxed with door in front of them. He limped over to an open one and stuck his head in to explore it before Johnson came back.

Gwen smiled and slipped her arms around his neck. "I was thinking of starting Path's training off with just using a saddle blanket and get him used to that before trying to use a saddle."she told him.
Path did as she said and grinned. "Thats amazing."he breathed.

"Sounds like a plan. We're going to try and get Konoha haltered today and we can try that as well. We could always put a saddle on him and let him wander around with it on for a few hours or so." Cedric tried to resist but he gave in and leaned down and kissed her.
"It's our foal, ours." Konoha nickered happily and tossed her head. She pulled on his forelock.
Johnson came back to find Kalypso with his head in a stall. He laughed, "Nothing scary in there. It's just a stall." He placed his hand around the cut. "Now you better take it easy for a while, you don't want this to get anyworse." He started bandageing the wound, making sure it would stay.

Kalypso quickly backed out of the stall and held his head high when Johnson approached. He stood as still as he could while he bandaged his wound, occassionally snorting or squealing from the pain. When he finished, Kalypso swung his head back to look at the bandage around his shoulders.

"Yeah I know not too pretty is it. But don't you pick at it." Johnson gently patted the stallion's neck. "I wander if you'd tolerate a halter? Shall we try?" He pulled a halter from a hook in the stall and laid it over his shoudler.

Kalypso turned his head away from his bandaged shoulder and stared at the halter over Johnson's shoulder. He instinctively laid his ears back and backed a few paces, eyeing it as if it were going to lash out and bite him.

"Yeah I know. Nobody likes these but it aint gonna bite." Johnson walked away from Kalypso but left the halter over his shoulder. "Come on boy let's get you back with everyone else. I won't try the halter just yet."

Kalypso pricked his ears back up and followed after Johnson. Another colt streak kicked in and he grabbed the halter off his shoulder and trotted back into the stable with it dangling from his mounth. He dropped it on the ground in front of him and lowered his head, sniffing at it, occassioanlly shying away from it only to return to it again.

Johnson laughed at the stallion's antics. "It won't bite or it would've come after you by now." He followed Kalypso back into the stable and watched him investigate.

Path chuckled. "Do you think it will be a colt or a filly?"he asked kind of hoping it was a girl. He wouldn't mind a colt, but he would hate having to kick his own son out once the boy got too old to stay. Also he liked the idea of having a little girl.
Gwen grinned once the kiss was over. "That was unexpected, but nice. With just blankets is how my people ride. Besides I have a blanket my grandma made that would look gorgeous on Path."she said chuckling.

"I have a feeling it's a filly. A very strong filly just like he father." Konoha nickered and nuzzled him, the foal kicked making her grunt then laugh. "Strong and active."
"Glad you liked it." He smiled at her ignoreing the few stunned looks from the men. "I know that but he's got to accept tack as well. We need another plow horse, but for now a blanket will do just fine. Why don't you go get it and I'll grab a halter for the mare. If you don't mind working in the rain."

(( Blanket)) "I don't mind at all. Be right back."Gwen said before jogging toward her house. Kavik bounded alongside her. She looked through her trunk and pulled out an bright saddle blanket. Draping it over her shoulder she headed back towards the pasture. Path laughed. "She is our foal could she possibly be anything but strong and active? She'll probably be extremely curious too."he said teasingly.

Konoha nipped him. "Just hope we can keep up with her."
Cedric met Gwen back at the fence with a halter and lead rope. "What do you want to try first? Path or Konoha?" He didn't want Gwen on Path without him being able to fully pay attention in case something happened.

"Path 'cause that way Kohona might be more willing."Gwen said opening the gate. She whistled for Path.
"Hopefully."Path snorted then heard Gwen whistle. "Come on."he said trotting towards Gwen and gesturing for Kohona to follow.
