Ali walked into the long barn a smile accross her face.The barn was empty because everyone was outside so she grabbed a saddle from the tack room and started cleaning it.She started cleaning it when she heard footsteps.She rasied her head and said "hello" from her spot inside the tack room.She wondered who it was,probably Lindsay,Sara or Pat they were always hanging around the barn.

okay...
Reno walked into the tack room, leaning on the door jamb. hello, Ali, isn't it? He asked softly as he fiddled with Melosa's reins. He had just got back from a ride with her when she threw a shoe. He stopped at the nearest barn to see if he could get help, or at least the proper farrier equitment.

Reno nodded. Actually, my mare threw a shoe. I was wondering if you had some farrier tools I could borrow to fit another on her. I have an extra shoe, if you could loan me a few nails and some tools. He spoke softly as the mare limped forward akwardly and stuck her head in the tack room, snorting softly, as if she was asking for use of the tools herself. She nickered softly as her nares opened, taking in the scent of saddle soap and leather oil.

Reno nodded and dropped the mares reins and walked over to the box, grabbing a small handful of shoeing nails, a pair of nail pullers, hoof nippers, pincers, a hammer, a hoof knife, a pair of clinching tongs, and a rasp. He juggled them all in his hands as he walked out of the tack room and led the mare towards a nearby bathing stall. He easily put her in the croos ties and grabbed the nail pullers and pulled out two remaining nails, then he used the hoof nippers to trim the edges of her hoof, where it had chipped to an uneven height. He trimmed it until it was perfectly shaped. He used the hoof knife to make the edge flatter, so that her hooves weren't as sharp. Then he pulled out a shoe that he had already shaped to her hoof. He nailed in on after he used the rasp to file down any left edges. Then he repeated the procedure with her other tree hooves. His movements were clean and efficient. He didn't waste any time at all.

Reno finished with the third hoof and he straightened up, smiling crookedly. Not really, I've got to work a few other horses once I get back to the ranch, and I need to work on my truck a bit. Other than that, I don't have much going. Are you gonna ask me out to dinner or somethin? He asked as he bent and picked up Melosa's last hoof, working on her quickly. His smile was boyish and handsome, yet slightly crooked, giving him a more mischievious appearance than his friends, Tex and Colt.

"WAsn't planning on it,but hey since you volunteered yourslef"said Ali her high ponytail swaying in the soft breeze.Her red hair flowed gently in the ponytail and her smile was pretty.Her face was polished and neat looking,and makeupless which would have suprised her old friends.Her blue Vneck accented her beautiful ice blue eyes.And to complete her look she wore blue jeans which had took on a smear of saddle soap,black of course.

Reno laughed. Sometimes I am accused of being TOO cheritable, I can see that it's true. he laughed softly as he sat down the last hoof. He gathered up all the tools and back to the trunk and returned them to their proper places. He came out and grabbed the mares reins, which was all the mare wore, and he turned her in a quick circle, testing his handiwork. When he was sure the shoe was on good he leapt quickly onto her bareback and trotted her a short way. He stop and walked back to the girl. Alright, since I'm sooooo nice, I guess I'll pick you up at 8. With a grin, he was gone without a single look over his shoulder.
