Princesses and Princes [open]

Ana was still looking around, wandering from pasture to pasture looking for her horse but it appeared that he was no where to be found at that very moment. She had no idea that Ridgeway had been so big to where there would be endless amounts of pastures for the horses. Ana was simply going to have to yell at the next stable hand that she saw and demand that they bring her her horse. Soon though, it would seem that Ana was not alone as she felt somebody come right up besides her now. Startled, she glanced over and who else did she see but Serena demanding to know if she were lost. Ana shook her head, not certain if she was willing to admit to such a thing, "I feel as if they have misplaced my horse. I cannot seem to find him even though they assured me that Prince is outside in one of the fields."

Ana nodded, feeling as if the obvious had just been stated since there was nothing but green surrounding them other than the stables to their backs. Serena was glancing around right now, and Ana followed her suit but it seemed that Prince still could not be found anywhere. This really started to seem more like a mystery than anything else. Case of the missing horse, "Uh, he's a chestnuty color with a black mane and tail...I guess that's more like a blood bay." Ana followed Serena's gaze to the end pasture and sure enough, there he was, "Oh! There's Prince. You found him. Thanks Serena. I don't know what I would have done without you."

Ana nodded when Serena said that she would be back as she left to go get her horse. Quickly, Ana headed off to grab Prince, who glanced up as she called to him and trotted over, ears forward and happy to see her, "Hello handsome boy," she commented now, stroking his face as she clipped the leather lead rope on him and lead him out back to the stables. Setting him up in one of the tacking stalls, she put the cross ties on him before leaving to get his tack. Grabbing an collegiate saddle and a hot pink saddle pad, Ana headed back and quickly got Prince ready as Serena came back with her horse.

Ana had just finished with getting Prince tacked up when she heard the familiar sound of horse hooves on the ground. Glancing over, she saw Serena back with her gorgeous horse, "This is Prince," she introduced her horse as she freed him once and for all from the cross ties. Prince was glancing at Serena's horse curiously before his attention turned to her with her pet, "And he seems happy with the attention. What's your horses's name?"

Ana was very aware of the fact that people were watching them, but she chose to ignore such things, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Swift," Ana said now before Serena mentioned the trails. Funny, that had been exactly her plan when she went hunting for Prince in the first place. Ana nodded, smiling, "That sounds great. I'm always up for a good trail ride," plus, it mean that she would escape the watchful eyes of the others. Ana loved basking in attention, but it was strange when she felt certain that they were only watching her becaues of Serena, not her.

Ana smiled at Serena before leading Prince out to the mounting block and getting up on him before placing her helmet on. People were still watching them now and she certainly wanted to go now. A snort escaped Prince as he glanced around, his ears twitching before he glanced to the woods now, "So, I guess you're leading the way?" Ana asked Serena, glancing over to her and making Prince move to give the other girl and her horse some room to move.
