Ask to Join Call To Ride

((A horse lover RP! the whole basis of this RP is about a group of people with their horses living in the Appalachian Mountains. The horses are be boarded in a local barn. Suddenly news reports about multiple murders pops up in the tiny town of Burnsville, North Carolina; a small town only a mile from the small neighborhood in the Appalachian mountains that our characters live in and ride around. Many important figures slowly disappear from the small neighborhood. Starting with that small child, age 3, whose body was found in a damp cave on the side of the largest peak in the Appalachians. The group of characters agree that it is time to find out who is behind these horrible murders, but they also agree that it's too dangerous to go alone, and their horses are the only ones sure footed enough to scale the mountainside.))


Many deaths have been occurring lately in the small seculded town of Burnsville, North Carolina. There is no disease, no dangerous activities, but a murderer. Only a few miles from the small town of Burnsville is where Running Vally is, or a small neighborhood in the Appalachian mountains with Burnsville. Everything is peaceful there....or is it?

"Eh! No Flare! Do not chew on your bucket!" The echo of a scolding voice rang through the small aisle ways of Running Ranch; a barn know for its great mountain climbing horses. Irene, a late teenager, was glaring at her horse. Flare, on the other hand, was happily chewing on the plastic of his feeding bucket in his stall. Irene sighed and finished fixing her long blonde hair back into a low ponytail and slipped her helmet off her head. Flare and Irene just finished their ride for the day; they went to the small jumping arena outside of the barn to practice for jumping over logs and debris on trail rides. The tall, red/brown gelding with black legs, mane and tail had done well with his part of the ride, but despite that as soon as the saddle was off he was back to his trouble-making ways. A small television was showing the news down the long hallways of Running Ranch, and one specific line caused Irene to poke her head out of Flare's stall to watch. A man wearing a formal suit and tie appeared in the screen with the image of a young girl behind him. Irene recognized that girl; the one who 'helped' her fix the watering system in the barn when it broke down. She was three, so helping was throwing water at Irene's back. Sara, if Irene recalled, was her name. "A young girl, age three, named Sara Woodsmall went missing late last night. This morning investigators found Sara's body in a small cave on the highest peak of the Appalachian mountains. It is unclear how she died, but multiple knife-like wounds were found on her dead body. News 4; keep watching and we'll keep you updated on he matter." The news cast ended with a Progressive commercial popping up. "Sara? That poor girl! Who would hurt a little shrimp like that?" Irene exclaimed to herself, and Flare, but he obviously wasn't listening. The late teenager the un-clipped Flare from his halter and left his stall. She started to put her stuff away, wondering who would do such a thing to a poor girl.
 
Isis sighed as she led Anubis to his stall in the barn. The news reporters were talking about a girl named Sara, who was murdered. "Who would do such a horrid thing? That's what I don't understand, I have to try and find out who's doing this, you with me, Newbie?" Isis asked her stallion, who neighed in response. Isis took off the reins and saddle and set it down. She sighed as she felt her Stallion licking the honey off her cheek. Isis patted his head before she filled a bit more food in his plastic feeding bucket. "Well, I'll be off boy, see you soon!" Isis exclaimed before she picked up the stuff and walked out of the stall, closed and locked it, and ran after the girl she saw. Her stallion, pitch black with white legs, tail, mane and strip that starts in between his eyes and goes all the way down to his nose, neighed a goodbye. Isis panted as she tapped the girl on the shoulder "Hi! I'm Isis, and you?" She asked, wanting to make friends.

Irene nearly jumped out of her skin as someone tapped her shoulder. Sensing his caretaker's surprise, Flare shot his head up and stopped his hoof in defense for Irene. The teen spun around to face another rider- one she hadn't seen much before. "Oh, hello Isis." Irene said as she let the girl introduce herself. She gave an embarrassed smile and made a shushing noise to calm Flare down. The gelding went back to eating his hay within his stall and happily flicking his tail. The door to his stall was open, but he didn't make a move out. If he did Irene wouldn't be very happy. Plus he would probably have to take a bath- the worst thing in the world. "I'm Irene and that's Flare. Nice to meet you. Hey, so have you ridden Anubis today yet?" She asked- returning to her work. Being the head stable hand she knew every horses name and their riders, so now that she knew Isis, she needed to ask if Anubis had been ridden.

"Yes I have, just put him back, as you can see" Isis said and pointed at the helmet that still rested on her head. "Could I maybe help?" Isis asked, wanting to help as much as she could. Her eyes darted to Anubis, he just stamped for no reason, also, he sometimes manages to get out of his stall, and right now, he did, and started running at Isis with full speed, and stopped right in front of the now white Isis. Anubis nudged Isis and she sighed before she excused herself from Irene. Isis began to walk back to the mischievous gelding's stall, knowing that he's following. She put him back in and with a scold, Isis closed the gate and walked back to Irene.
 
((Sounds good, just know that a Stallion is a horse with Kids where a gelding is a male who doesn't. But it doesn't matter here. I don't care what you say. :) if you know any horse lovers, invite them! Or even if they like horses but don't know anything about them.))

Irene chuckled as Anubis trotted up to Isis but then was taken back to his stall. Flare perked his ears in intrest as the duo left. He snorted and returned to his hay, but he kept his eyes up just in case if his friend returned. Flare watched as Isis approached again and as his trainer began to talk to Isis.

Irene smiled and nodded her head in response to Isis's earlier question. "Oh yeah. Here, Flare is pretty hot right now so could you possiblely go in and brush him off while I go and get the Thrush Buster? Flares been showing signs of having Thrush and I don't want it to get any worse- but he's not going to cool off if he isn't brushed. Flare isn't mean, but just watch his legs. He loves to kick out and chew on things." Irene said, quickly leaving for her locker in the tack room to grab the foot disease healer. Thrush was very dangerous to a horse's hoof as it can make them unable to be ridden. Infection can make it even worse. And for a jumper and dressage horse like Flare, getting Thrush is the worst thing that could happen.
 
Isis nodded and she took Flare and led him to the grooming area. She began to brush the Gelding down as she waited for Irene to return. Isis got to the feet and stepped back before she he continued, ready to jump back if she needed to.

Her Gelding wasn't happy, he was scared Isis might get hurt with Flare. He neighed for a warning and then began to eat the hay that was beside him.
 
Flare perked his ears in response to the neigh but then flicked them back. He snorted and shook out his coat. The red gelding at age 5 didn't consider himself dangerous, but he didn't realize how big he was sometimes. Flare stomped his hoof once in defeat and then stopped squirming around and stood still.

"Good boy Flare, thanks for not killing Isis. Then they'd have to put a horse in jail for murder." Irene joked as she came back. She looked at Isis with a playful smile. "I hope I didn't mislead you, Flare is quite the sweetheart. He wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose, much less hurt someone kind enough to rub him down. Being groomed is his favorite part of the ride aside from kicking under the saddle. That's high on his fun list too." Irene picked up one of Flare's hooves and used a small bottle to squirt a thick purple liquid into the grooves of the hoof. After a moment of fighting- due to the fact that Thrush Buster stung a bit- Irene let Flare put his hoof down and she pat his shoulder. "Thanks so much Isis. I was planning to ride him bareback on a trail later on today, you should join us. But you'll have to lead, Flare isn't quite used to trails yet." She offered.
 
Isis nodded "I'll join, it sounds like fun--" Isis turned her head to her sharp hearing horse "What do you say?!" She called and a neigh sounded back to her. Isis giggled and turned back to Irene "I hope you'll be able to keep up though!" Isis teased, even tough she knew it would be kinda hard to keep up with her Gelding.
 
"Oh yeah, he's a racer isn't he? Flare acts up too much to be a racer. I think we can manage though." Irene joked as she led Flare back to his stall, closed the gate and picked up her saddle to put away her tack. Mrs. Fanning, the barn owner, approached Irene and Isis as Irene walked out of the tack room. "Oh hello girls! How are you two and your horses?" The elderly woman greeted. Mrs Fanning, though old, looked very good in her tan riding pants and tall black show boots. Her grey hair was tied up into a low bun that bushed the collar of her pink Polo. Her bright hazel eyes glittered with worry as she continued. "You two have heard of the murder case, haven't you? The one with poor Sara?" Mrs. fanning paused. "Since the police are searching up on the peaks the Peak Trail is going to be off limits as well as any other trail that leads upwards. So I happened to hear that you two planned a ride for later today? Well, I've crossed off the closed trails that are closed on the bulletin board. Please make sure you don't wander up there, it's dangerous." With that Mrs. Fanning returned to her office without letting them respond.

"Oh. Ok. Well Isis it seems that most trails are closed. We could still take the Cane River Trail. That's down the mountain. I can go sign us up." Irene offered as she walked across the hall and looked at a large whiteboard full of names. The Peaks Trail, Cane River Trail...many more. Most had red Xs next to them, but some didn't. Next to the Cane River Trail name Irene put her name and Isis name down along with their horses names. "There. All done. What's your game plan now? I don't plan to head out for a bit because I need to clean up Sassy's stall. Mrs. Fanning would kill me if her horse had the least bit of discomfort." Irene said playfully.
 
Isis shrugged "I'm a bit adventurous, but I'll help you with Sassy's stall!" Isis said, finding herself getting nudged at the back of her head. Isis whipped around to see he Gelding. "Really? Again? *sigh* fine, you can only roam around where I can see you, Mkay?" She asked and the Gelding neighed and galloped around, still in Isis's sight. Anubis ran back to his stall and took a rest.

Horse Name: Delta

Gender: Gelding

Omega led Delta into the barn and went into a stool next to a Danish Warmblood and the Gelding's owner. Omega knew their names and greeted them." Hey Irene how are you and Flare today?" He stopped after overhearing the news. His eyes widened and mouth dropped." How could someone do that to a poor girl like that she had so much life ahead of her!" He turned to Isis." When did this happen?"
 
Isis turned to Omega and shrugged "Yesterday I think" She said and Anubis went for another gallop around Isis. Isis anime-sweat dropped and then laughed at Anubis. "Ok, calm your hooves!" she said and Anubis stopped next to his owner.
 
((OMGosh I love Fresians they're so pretty! ^.^))

Irene smiled warmly at Omega as he led his horse, Delta, into its stall. Flare perked his head up from his eating and turned around to greet Delta from his stall. Anubis seemed to be having the time of his life running around and Irene hoped he didn't wear himself out before the trail. Then Sara was brought to conversation. "Oh yeah, the poor tike. She was so sweet- I'll miss having her around. Hey Omega, you want to join Isis and I on the Crane River Trail? We're heading out in a bit." Irene asked as she began to head towards Sassy's stall which was across from Flare's.
 
Omega was delighted at the invite." Sure and Delta will enjoy it." Delta whickered softly (is that the right word?) his tail flicked around and he greeted Anubis and Flare." When are we going then?" He asked as he stroked Delta's hide.
 
Anubis ran into his stall and this time he stayed there. Isis walked after Irene and sighed "Oh well, the more the merrier right?" She said and smiled.

Anubis neighed back as a greeting to Delta. He shook his head and clopped over to Omega. He whinnied and then stomped his foot before returning back to his stall.
 
((Yep- whicker is a soft clicking sound the horse makes.))

"Great, I'll add you to our list. Mrs. Fanning came by and told us that most Mountain Peak trails are closed. We can only trail down the mountain rather than climb which is moderately disappointing. I was training Flare up for more Para Dressage (Dressage with jumping) and the Peak Trails are really nice for training. Oh well." Irene shrugged as she scooped a pitchfork full of matted bedding into a wheelbarrow. She handed another pitchfork to Isis in a silent way of asking if she wanted to help. "So yeah. After we're done with Sassy we can head out. I wonder, where's Mike? I though he'd be here by now." Irene commented. Flare stuck his head out of his stall and stomped his hoof. For a horse so young he sure is good at hearing.

"Yeah, we're signed up in the Bulletin Board. Just put your and Delta's name on the Crane River trail slot after mine and Flare's." Irene called as she gently pushed Sassy over to place some bedding down. The old mare pinned her ears back and shook her head, but like she was asked she moved over.

(The real Sassy tried to bite me today as I went to pet her. XD she really lives up to her name. BTW I'm going to use horses I know IRL as extra horses owned by non-Roleplaying characters if we need them. If you want to make an extra horse let me know.)
 
Omega walked up to the bulletin board and put his name and Delta's name on it and he walked over to Irene." Can I help with Sassy? She looks kind of impatient right now...I wonder why?" He grabbed a pitchfork without Irene's approval and put some more bedding into the wheelbarrow.
 
"Oh, she's Sassy. She's always irritated." Irene smiled as she put a gentle hand on the mare's flank. She snorted in response, but made no move to remove her hand. "Thanks for helping! This'll make this so much easier." Irene said, looking towards Omega and Isis in appriciation. She continued to place new bedding down after throwing out the old.

"Hey, I'm going to go text my mom to tell her I'll be home later tonight because of our ride. We're almost done with Sassy's stall so it shouldn't be too hard to finish it up." Irene said as she wiped sweat from her forehead and placed the pitchfork propped up against Sassy's stall. She quickly pulled her phone out of her tan riding pants and wiped the screen off with the ice blue polo she wore.

'Hey mom, I'm going to do a trail ride with Isis, Omega and possibly Mike if he gets here so I won't be home for a while.'

'Ok sweetie, just be careful. You know the Sara thing has come as a shock to many people.'

'Ok- I'll keep an eye out.'


Irene sighed softly as she zipped her phone back into her pockets. She began to walk back towards Isis and Omega, but as she passed Flare's stall she gave him a small carrot.
 
(lol, sorry bout not posting anything on here,)
Mike walked up to the Running Ranch. "Sorry guys, had to do school work and such. I heard there was another murder, wasn't it a little girl this time?" Asked Mike as he gave a carrot to Fire, who at that moment just woke up from his nap. (I'm not gonna call him Flame because Irene has Flare :p)
 
(I can change his name- his full name is Flaring Spirit. I could call him Spirit instead of Flare if that would make this more enjoyable for you.)

"Hey Mike! There you are, I was beginning to wonder where you were considering you are always here by now. But it's alright that you're late- you're just in time though. Isis and Omega are finishing up Sassy's stall, and I was about to rejoin them to finish. After we're done were taking the Cane River trail. Wanna come?" Irene asked, picking up the pitchfork again. She thought it was hilarious that the Cane River Trail didn't even follow the Cane River- the actual River was at least 6 miles south. All the same it was a trail- a pretty mellow one to be honest but it had nice scenery on the bright side.
 
(It's okay XD)
"Sure!" Said Mike cheerfully "I haven't rode Fire in forever because of school work and make up school work for all the days that I forgot to do it." He continued. Mike brushed Fire's knotty fur and saddled him. Before noticing the mess Fire made in his stall.
 
(My cat just layed on my face, and the to top that off he started meowing in my ear)

Isis sighed as she set the pitch fork down and wiped the sweat off the forehead "Doneee..." She mumbled with a small giggle. "Oh well, Mom and Dad are going out but they know I always ride around at night, it's just more quiet, don't you think?" Isis asked Omega as she pulled on her white gloves. Her phone vibrated in her Black riding pants and she quickly pulled it out. It was her mom.

'Hey sweetie, just wanted to know if your going for a trail today?'

'Yup! But this time were gonna do a full one, you know how I LOVE to find shortcuts back to you!'

'Aww ok sweetie, I'll see you soon, bye'

Isis didn't bother replying to the 'bye' because they'll just stay there and keep on saying bye. She put it back in her pocket and zipped it closed. Isis brushed her white hair out of her face as she looked around with her sparkling aqua eyes. Her green-eyed horse neighed as he examined the other horses.

"Ok! Sounds good Mike. I'll get ready." Irene commented as she noticed Mike was saddling up Fire. She shrugged thinking that if he wanted to ride in the saddle that's fine but she was going bareback. As Irene began to open Flare's gate he snorted in protest. "Hey hey, come on. You love trails!" Irene said as she grabbed her bridle and gently put the bit in her horse's mouth. After adjusting the bridle straps she led Flare out of his stall and into the hallway- where there was a mounting block- and she vaulted on top of Flare without using her saddle. Irene contemplated putting a pad between Flare's back and her, but then she decided to just go all out Bareback and ride with only the bridle. With a small clicking noise and a gentle squeeze with the leg Irene asked Flare to walk forward- which he did eagerly. "I'm going to wait at the trail entrance because Flare needs to walk last- he is most likely to kick." Irene said as she turned Flare around to face the others. As if Flare wanted to prove her point, he didn't kick but lifted his hind legs in a way that would normally signal he was going to. Irene smiled, embarrassed, but then clicked Flare into a Trot and trotted out of the building and halted at a tree line with an opening that had a sign saying 'Crane River Trail'.
 
Omega saddled Delta and rode him next to Irene." Do you think we will find the murderer or maybe more bodies? I'm scared." He went into a trot and circles Irene and Flare, anxious to get going even if it was possibly dangerous.
 
Isis walked over to Anubis and put on his bridal, adjusting it and then hopping onto his back. Isis picked up the reins and made a little clicking noise before gently squeezing Anubis's sides, making him trot over to Irene and Omega and their horses. Isis gently tugged the reins back and Anubis stopped eagerly. He whickered and looked around. Isis layed a hand on Anubis's mane, soothing him down. Anubis let off a defeated sigh before he stopped looking around and acting like this was the first time they went on a trail.
 
Omega looked around as he stopped next to Isis and Anubis." Where's Mike gone again is he still saddling Fire? He takes way to long!" He began to look around impatiently." I'm bored already! Let's go!" He patted Delta and stroked the side of his head.
 
"I"M BACK!" Shouted Mike as he ran over to them riding Fire, "Had the clean out Fire's stall, it was a mess in there!" He continued, rubbing the back of his neck.
 
"Oh! I'm sorry I was kinda expecting you not to come in time so I was going to clean out Fire's stall after the trail!" Irene apologized rubbing the back of her neck and allowing Flare to much on a tuft of grass for a moment. She flexed her heels to make sure they were down- to help with balance. Even though she was riding without a saddle, she had to make sure that if anything popped up she would be able to stay on. Irene glanced at Omega and Delta with a dark expression. "Hoestly I hope nothing happens to any of us, but there is a possibllity that we are at risk. I mean we're heading out to the mountians right now- not close to where Sara died, but still." She looked up at the sky which was now turning an orange color to signify the end of the day. Irene signed and leaned back on Flare, putting her hands on his hindquarters. Flare didn't appriciate that and snorted in protest before walking a few steps. Out of fear of falling Irene sat up and grabbed the reins. "Haha, well we're not even getting close to the mountain. No worries." Irene said as she urged Flare forwards- deciding to lead on the trail.

Flare, though she had said earlier likes to kick, he wouldn't kick his stablemates unless something bad happened. I which case the buck would be as a warning. Irene used her thighs to remain on Flare's back as they trotted so she wasn't bouncing, but she was still experiencing the up and down pattern in the trot. But Irene loves it, so she didn't mind. "Ok! I'm going. Don't forget that this trail has the tree line, but then the feild. So don't fall off but feel free to run around there for a bit." Irene called as she trotted down into the trail. The canopy above her streamed orange light as Flare and his rider bounced along. Once they reached the feild, Irene glanced at the mountain range to the right. It was the closest they would get to the mountain for today- but it was still ominous to be close to it. With a small shake of her head Irene urged Flare into a canter- spotting a log. "Come on! Please just do a clean jump!" Irene whispered as she anticipated the jump. Flare responded with a flick of his ears and cleanly jumped over the log- happily speeding across the grassy feild. Suddenly he stopped short and began to walk backwards- throwing his head up. "Flare? What's wrong. Woah!" Irene panicked as she tired to figure out what spooked her horse.

(Write something about having fun in the feild before joining Irene- Flare was spooked by the wolves)
 
(I'm probably not going to be on very much, I have lots of school and boring stuff usually, so, just telling you :p)
"Oh! It's okay!" Mike shouted as Irene went on a trail with Flare. He decided to practice some of the basics because he hadn't been here for a while.
 
(Sorry for not posting guys! I didn't get any alerts!)

As if knowing Isis wanted to go, Anubis started walking after Irene and Flare. They took another route by accident, there was a waterfall coming up. "Rightly, Newbie, we can do this, just focus, it's just like we practiced, just..a bit more dangerous" Isis said and anime sweat-dropped. Anubis neighed before he took a few steps back and then running. Just at the edge of the grass, Anubis jumped over, landing on the other side and continuing to run in the field they found. "Where is Irene?" Isis asked and a cold shiver ran down her spine. As if realising something was wrong, Anubis raised his head and neighed, stepping backwards quickly. Isis jumped down from her Gelding and grasped his reins. She stroked his head and the Gelding calmed down. Something dashed through the the tree nearby. A wolf jumped out and grasped a tight lock on Isis's arm and with a yelp she jumped back. Going in protect mode, Anubis reared and kicked the wolf, making it lose its grasp on Isis's arm. Isis quickly grabbed Anubis's reins and told him to follow, witch he did. Soon finding Irene after a few more minutes, Isis looked down at her bleeding hand. She noticed some cotton trees and ran over to them and plucked some cotton, making sure no wolves jump scare her. She pulled out a piece of cloth and put the cotton on the wound and then sealing it with the cloth. Isis raised her head and Anubis gently pushed her to the ground. He whickered and stared at the bushes. Isis followed his gaze and her eyes widened, her Gelding was protecting her from a hungry pack of wolves. Anubis's ears flicked back and he neighed loudly, making Isis jump a bit.
 
Mike noticed that Irene and her horse Flare hadn't been back, it had been a while now and Mike was starting to get worried, even though he was mostly always worried about something, from health to homework. (Which people wondered why he always cared about getting good grades on his work due to the fact that he hardly ever did it.) Mike rode Fire up the trail Irene and Flame had went, and went the route with the waterfall, and noticed Isis and Anubis were facing a hungry pack of wolves, Anubis neighed loudly at them, protecting Isis. "Hey, guys!" Yelled Mike, "You need help over there?" He asked, well. That sounded dumb.
