Tally was too consumed to notice Quinn at first and when she did she thought he was talking to someone else,"Huh?"she said, turning to make sure that he was talking to her her."Me?"she pointed at herself, her eyebrows furrowed. She blushed, when she realized that he was talking to her."Oh.. Sorry! Umm no.. I can't come up with a name. Nothing seems to fit her."she said and shrugged. A smile tugged on her lips,"He's a beauty too. What's his name?"she asked, gesturing to the horse.
Her eyes drifted over the horse and than guy. He was pretty cute she decided and she had totally made a total idiot of herself. She glanced down as a ball of white fur shot around Quinn's ankles,"Issa, Mali. Issa!"she groaned. Mali was a young pup that it was in training to be a search and rescue dog.

"I'm always glad to receive a little help. I guess Jared's tour is supposed to end for real. A few months back, he was injured, remember, but he demanded to go back as soon as he was healed enough..." Ryan commented quietly. "Um, Anne is actually going to start working with Rizzo. I think she'll figure out how to get Rizzo's weight down. So, a chiropractor and a diet plan for Apollo, a diet plan and hopefully some work soon for Slate. Any other horses needing a new diet? Phantom's good. She's worked enough and she has a pretty good metabolism. She doesn't get fat." He nodded, flushing at the praise of the fact that Slate was calmer around him.
The stallion in question continued to shove his head against the hand before taking things into his own matters and using her as a scratching post as he'd done before. He had an infuriating itch beneath his forelock and ground his head against Nell's shoulder this time. Itchy hide, itchy hide.

Nell nodded. "I'll go talk to Carson soon, about the chiropractor for him. I think that'll help Apollo, the poor boy is so sweet and doesn't deserve to be in pain like that." She spoke quietly, eyes on the ground for a moment. "Yeah, Ash is like that as well. She doesn't keep weight on, but that is part because she is so young, and I do work her everyday." Nell said with an almost wistful expression as she continued to scratch Slate's forehead. When he took matters into his own accord, Nell stumbled a little before regaining her footing, eyebrows furrowing before she stood still so she could be used as a scratching post. "Darn stallion, doesn't know anything about a personal bubble." She muttered, but didn't seem to mind too much. Afterall, the stallion was seeking her out, and that, in its own way, was a victory.

Anne looked over at Harry and Bone, scratching the back of her neck to relieve an itch. When she looked back towards the field at his query, she noticed her mare making her hasty way to the three, ears perked as she picked up a trot. As soon as she shortened their proximity to an acceptable distance, the quarter horse swung her head over and licked at Anne's small palm, showering her with affection. "Yeah." She replied simply, smirking as she scratched Crissy's cheek. The mare's eyes drooped and she leaned into this happily, blowing a sigh through her grey nostrils. Not a hint of grey hairs touched her frosty white fur, or at least none noticeable, but her black skin that was exposed around her eyes and muzzle pinpointed her a grey. She was a beautiful horse, short but sturdily built from nearly everyday exercising and a bit of fat because, well, she was a horse. "Why? I like it outside." She jutted out her bottom lip in a pout as she played with her white mare's furry ear. The horse averted her gaze to Harry quizzically. She didn't recall him.
Harley watched her blankly for a moment, before he took off in a speedy sprint after her. His ears were forward as he caught up to her, panting but not nearly out of energy. Due to his age and breeds, he had an ongoing, incessant amount of excessive energy that kept him up and at it. Normally he could be drained by a good game of fetch, or running around on a hot day, but after a few minutes of break time he was back on his feet again. His life revolved around games and running about, especially a long game of ball. He adored fetch.

"I meant into the pasture." Harry wiped a bead of sweat from his hairline, frowning. It was awfully hot and seemed to be only getting hotter as mid-day approached. "We should go swimming again," He commented, now moving towards the pasture gate. He undid the latch and slipped inside, looking at Crissy briefly before passing her up to get to Bone. The foal greeted him warmly and with a considerable amount of affection. Harry's large span rubbed circles into Bone's fuzzy cheek, which he noticed felt meaty and a lot stiffer than human cheeks. "He's tiny." Harry looked down on the small foal, his hand having now traveled to touch over the soft hide on it's neck. It felt downy soft and somewhat fleecy. He figured it was because of the young age, and Harry also noticed some leftover fuzz in Bone's mane and tail that referred to the foal years. Harry brought his hand back to the bone-white face in order to rub some grime out of it. He didn't like seeing the white soiled, and wanted to keep it clean and pure.
Pink took off like a shot as Harley pursued her. She led him into the forest, the two dogs moving in a flux past the thickening amount of trees. Pink's legs slowed as she made half a u-turn to see where Harley was at. Just then some birds fluttered up from the brush, about two or three of them, and took to the sky with a few startled squawks.

Quinn chuckled warmly. "I call him Shadowfax, or Lord of all horses. He's a fast one." Quinn danced about a bit as Mali tackled through his legs, a deep, rumbling laugh echoing in his chest. "Careful, little one," he chuckled, his hands becoming a blur as he leaned down and scooped up the pup. "Guessing this one's name is Mali, hm? She's fiesty," he huffed. Shadowfax craned his neck, sniffing at Mali once or twice before he turned his attention back to the filly, pushing his nose forward in greeting. He didn't make a sound, as Shadowfax rarely did. He simply observed. He was interested, though; he couldn't recall meeting or seeing this particular filly and Shadowfax did enjoy meeting new people.
"Seems Shadowfax's itching to make himself known," Quinn huffed. "Not that he's being ignored."

"Oh." Anne chuckled, not at all embarrassed. She pushed Crissy back a little and climbed the fence, dropping easily on the other side and grabbing a group of the mare's white mane hair. She flicked an ear and nosed the girl's pockets, who turned watched Harry and Bone closely. She chuckled at his remark. "Well, after all, you are pretty tall and he's pretty small." She rolled her eyes and rubbed Crissy's croup, stirring up dust that flew in Anne's direction due to the wind. She screwed up her face and waved it off, shaking her head. "Eck. Someone needs a bath." She rubbed her neck and watched the black colt. "He's pretty." She averted her attention and pet his back, only to receive a nudge from Crissy to regain her attention. The girl sighed and continued petting the mare.
Harley barked and chased the birds, stirring up more and arousing the wooded area. He yipped and jumped excitedly, trying to chase them and perhaps catch one. His ears were perked as he zoned in, eyes wide as he pawed at the air and whined.

Tally smiled, nodding,"Yup and excited is more like it. She's in training for search and rescue. I'm getting another pup soon too. A retired army dog that's my father's currently. His name is Riot. He's a biter and a explosive detection dog."she glanced down at the floor, realizing she was talking just a bit too much.
The filly snorted, pinning her ears, she leaned out and nipped at his neck, before turning her attention away from the other horse. She wasn't impressed and quite frankly there were only a select few horses she approved of. She started to paw at the ground, her ears flicking.
Mali barked and started licking Quinn's face like crazy. She squirmed in his grip, excitement in very top that left her mouth.

"How tall are you?" He asked Anne, making small talk as he pet on Bone, who seemed to be enjoying it. His eyes squinted slightly as he looked further into Anne's face. His gaze roved across the pink scar on her cheek. Harry frowned at the painful reminder of that night and what had happened to her, something he felt was his fault since he was the one to bring her into that type of environment. He looked away and back towards Bone as he continued to stroke the foal's silky hide.
Pink knocked into Harley, trying to get his mind back in the game. However, shortly after she ran off, she too got sidetracked by the wildlife. Pink flung herself at a tree trunk in order to try and capture a squirrel. The mutt stood on her back legs, forepaws scrabbling at the bark.

"Ey," Quinn growled playfully, returning the dog to the ground and absently wiping the slobber off of his face. He smiled. "Sounds like a charmer, that Riot. I'm not a huge dog fan. They're... needy," he finally decided. "Cats are more my style." He gave a half-smirk, easy and laid back.
Shadowfax jerked his head back in surprise, pinning his ears as well. He snort absently, shifting a bit further back from the filly. "Uh oh," Quinn said. "Looks like she's gone and made Shadowfax a tad angry." He grinned. "The Lord of horses doesn't like to be angry, y'know. He'll probably through a fit." Quinn patted the horse's neck affectionately, stroking the horse's mane and muzzle. He really was fond of his horse and often didn't correct behaviors he probably should have, resulting in the odd behaviors of his horses.
