Brian grabbed his sandwich and walked out of the White Oak barn, striking off in the direction of the broodmare barn for a break. He had put in the request, and had it accepted, to transfer to the barn, and his new position was set to start on the same day as school started, for the students. He had spent some time in the barn already, learning the ins and outs, although there weren't too many differences with regards to the horses.
But there was one major difference, the reason that Brian had even considered the transfer in the first place. There were far fewer students to work with! His summer at the White Oak barn had been rather eventful in that regard, and Brian had found that he didn't really fit the needs of the position well. He had never been very good with students, and here, he wouldn't have to be. There were only a handful of broodmares, which would be arriving that week as well, and the staff's horses that were close to term.
Brian slowed as he reached the pastures and stopped at the one that held the entire herd of yearlings, some chasing each other around, others just dozing in the shade. Leaning against the fence, he unwrapped his sandwich and started eating, his eyes still on the foals.
