They walked in content silence for a few minutes before Jack started talking. "So Dorothee, how long have you been into horses?" Jack chose the word 'into' instead of 'riding', fearing that it might upset her if he used the term riding because of her accident.

She picked up his words and smiled. " I was first set on a horse when I was only 9 months old. Like most horse crazed kids, I was riding before i could walk. My first horse looked alot like magpie, except she was a miniature. Then I got a mean little shetland named pookie. After him i moved onto a welsh named wishing well, then to an akhal-teke named sunbeam. Sunbeam was to be my compitition horse until he died of colic. Then I got Hugo." She said thinking back to each horse. She didn't have a problem talking about riding, unless it was about Hugo and her's accident.

Jack smiled as she talked. She didn't seem to mind talking about horses and riding. Maybe it was just if he mentioned her accident or Hugo. He stopped when they got to the barn. He slid th door all the way open, letting the sunlight into the school horse barn. "Well here we are. All the horses are in, except for Maggie. I have to turn them out later on. Just follow me and I'll introduce you to each one."
He stopped by the first occupied stall which contained a black and white paint mare. "This is Pandora. She is one of our western school horses." He patted her on the neck as she stuck her head out of the stall. "Across from her is Tango, the beginner horse." he said nodding his head to a palomino gelding.

She smiled studding the conformation of pandora. It looked somewhat differnt from that of hugo's. A bigger smile spread over her face as they reached Tango. "Now if this horse was in a akhal teke form, it would look exactly like Sunbeam" She said

Jack smiled. "Like 'im? He's an amazing horse. I'd trust Tango with my life." he said as the gelding nipped at his shirt. He pushed Tango's muzzle away and moved on to the next stall which held a smaller buckskin mare. "This is Poet, my little Paso Fino mare. I just started her under saddle maybe a year and a half ago and she is a dream to work with." He smoothed out her forelock and moved onto the next which was a large, white, Wurttemberger mare. "This is Stella, my dressage and show jumping horse."

She was glad to be meeting other horses. Maybe it would help her get over Hugo. " She is beautiful" SHe said, actually reaching out and petting the white mare's nose. She couldn't believe she actually touched the mare. her hand slowly fell back to her side, and a flicker of hope burned in her. " Help me!" She said a big smile on her face. " Help me get back on hugo" She said finishing her sentence.

Jack watched as she stroked Stella's nose. The mare whuffled at Dorothee as she pulled her hand away. Dorothee then moved her hand slowly back ot her side. Jack seemed a bit surpised at her eagerness to get back on Hugo, he thought it would take a long time. "Of course I'll help you. When would you like to start?" he replied with a smile

"The sooner the better. Not today, because im still trying to unpack, but just name a day" She siad. She was suprised at her eagerness too, but she knew if she waited much longer then she wouldn't be able to go near a stable. "thanks" She said.

"Alright. Well I'm here everyday almost all day long. I don't have much time to be anywhere else. You could come tomorrow if you would like." He said as he ran his hand through his hair. He didn't realize that it was well past noon. "Sorry for keeping you from unpacking. I'm sure you have a lot to do." he said. Jack felt bad for keeping her here when she needed to go to her new home or apartement or where ever she was living.
