Ben found his way into the White Oak Barn, admiring the site of all the horses in their stalls. The equestrian facilities at the school were quite nice, from what he had seen so far. He was going to find Lady in her stall now that he'd finally gotten the time after arriving. He carried a Jolly Stall Snack System in his hands, which he hoped to hand in Lady's stall to keep her occupied. He liked to switch out her toys so that she wouldn't ever get too bored with one.
It took him a while to find Lady's stall, and he was just getting worried that he had gotten her barn wrong when he found her stall. The mare's ears were pricked towards him eagerly, and he grinned, opening the stall door and hugging her excitedly. It had been a while since he'd seen her between all of the traveling plans. She began to lip at his back pocket and he laughed, pulling a peppermint from it and offering it to her. While Lady munched on it, he set to work with her toy. It took a bit of fiddling to get right, but he was eventually pleased by how it hung.
Haltering Lady, he led her out to the cross ties in the aisle and took off her blanket, folding as best he could before finding the tack room. After putting her blanket in its spot, he acquainted himself with where all his things were, and grabbed her grooming box and returned to Lady. He found her standing nicely where he had left her, but her head was turned oddly as she tried to lip at the cross ties. Laughing quietly, he tapped her nose gently and spoke to her in a low voice, "Silly missy."
He set to work grooming her in his usual pattern around the pattern of her coat. He'd been skeptical when his mother had first told him to try Lady, thinking that his trainer had just bought her for her flashy coat, knowing that some of his adult amateur clients would be drawn to it and pay big money. Lady had proven herself though, and he now knew that she lived up to her pretty looks.
