Babies in a Field

Babies! So, I did Trick before I left for vacation, then Boon and Venice when I got back. Apparently the beach meant I wanted shiny babies O.o Look how shiny Boon and Venice are!! I still think Trick is my favorite though, just for the pose. I can just see her going "I...am a cat".

Story:

Kaity could finally breath easier. Her show season was officially done for the year. Catcher was semi-retired, Tory and her new hunter horse were established (with their last show proving their worth), Fame was...unhappily recovering. She was getting her two new interns today, and as she waited, Kaity went over to see the foals. The woman hadn't been around foals much growing up, especially in any large number. The closest was the one summer she had been at a racing facility, training the owner's trail horses. The riding horses had been stationed at the section of the property with the broodmares and foals, and the whole summer she would pet them, or ride around their fields.

As the woman leaned on the fencing, she couldn't help but smile. Amuletta's baby was off by the side with her mother, dozing under some trees. Gravure and Grindy were nose to tail, leaving Luske to watch over the three foals Kaity was to keep. Venice had been dozing, stretched out, when Kaity arrived, but soon was wide awake, legs propped up all properly, trying to see if Kaity was worth standing up for. Trick was not too far away, and had somehow managed to roll over exactly half way, legs tucked up, head out. Kaity just laughed at the filly, shaking her head. She soon flopped over though, standing up to shake off her dark coat, looking around for the only colt. The silver bay foal was currently racing around the field, despite the heat, trying to get his mama's attention. He finally got close, and started to show off, rearing and bucking. His dam ignored him, but the colt kept trying, fully enjoying himself. However, one buck was a bit too energetic, and he soon toppled just a bit, catching a face full of dirt.

Boon didn't let that stop him and was soon running around again, accompanied by Trick. As she watched, the woman soon heard footsteps in the slightly dry grass behind her. Turning, she saw two young people, and vaguely recognized them from pictures and their online interviews. "Ah, I see you two found the farm. Lets head to my office. Its a tiny bit cooler anyway," she chuckled, leading them away from the field to the barns.
