Cameron swung up onto the back of her bulky blue roan mare with an ease that was obviously practiced. It was hot in the indoor arena, but it was hotter under the Texas sun outside. Plus, if she was going to be able to ride around bareback without too many other people around, this was the place to do so.
Clicking her tongue softly and applying slight pressure to the sides of her mare, the duo set out at a brisk walk. It felt nice seeing as Cam hadn't even bothered with jeans. All she wore were faded jean shorts, a fitted green t-shirt, and very broken in cowboy boots. Her hair was pulled into a loose braid over her shoulder and she wore no helmet. She hadn't worn a helmet since she was 15, and there was no way that she was going back to that.
A sudden noise caused the horse to sidestep and Cam was forced to grab onto her neck to keep her balance. "Shhh Bluezzy. It's fine," she crooned as she patted the mare's neck. Although Cameron had owned Bluezzy for over four years now, the horse tended to be a little skittish when it came to loud noises and very sudden movements. I guess Cam was too, but time dulled everything.
She was now nudging Blue into an easy lope. The smooth gait let Cameron relax back and just enjoy the ride. Nothing was better than this right here. Horses and alone time and... well... nothing else.

Jace really just wanted to get out and ride. He had been cooped up inside for a couple days and was antsy to go see Teddy, his overo paint mare. She was his pride and joy, along with his Czech Warmblood Russ of course. But today he just wanted a relaxing ride with Teddy. Maybe go out on the trails or something. So Jace threw on some blue jeans and a tshirt and put on his boots and made his way down to the barns. He always got excited when he was about to ride and when he walked up to Teddy's stall he had a big smile on his face. The mare greated him with a soft nuzzle to the cheek. Hey there girl.
After he got the mare ready and saddled, Jace made his way down to the indoor arena. He liked to warm her up a little first before he took her out, but as he lead Teddy to the arena he heard someone else inside. Now Jace was curious. He slid open the door and saw there was a girl riding her blue roan bareback. He smiled. That was a good idea. He hadn't ridden bareback in a long time. But he shook off the thought for today, Teddy was already saddled. Speaking of Teddy, she always had to get in Jace's business. As Jace watched the girl, the painted mare began pushing him into the arena, towards the girl. Stop it. He hissed at the mare. All she did was nicker. But then Jace realized that now the girl could tell he was there. Great. Thanks a lot Teddy, he thought.
OOC: i didnt want to go too far just incase you had the horse spook or something.. |

Tugging softly on the reins, Cam slowed Bluezzy down as she heard someone else in the arena. When she looked over, she lost her concentration as her mare come to a stop and almost flipped over her head. The man that had come into the arena was... well gorgeous to say the least. He was tall and dark with blue eyes and Cam did everything she could to look away. Righting herself, Cam just nodded towards the guy as a way of greeting. She would have said something, but her shyness and the fact that she was embarrassed about almost falling kept her from using her voice.
After a moment she did find her voice and she looked towards the mare. "Your horse is beautiful,"she commented quietly, just loud enough for him to hear. She sat back on her own horse and took a second to look the other mare over. She really was a nice horse, well built yet delicate. It was the combination that she looked for in her own horses. Then, remembering herself, she made an introduction. "I'm Cameron, by the way."
