Demeter hadn't been expecting anything else, and when the results had come back from the lab, telling her that the mare had passed with flying colours, she had moved the mare into the main barn, which had made Beauty happy, and Garçon had returned to his own barn - which didn't impress him much.

The vet leaned against the fence of the yard the mare was grazing in. The only place that news hadn't come back from was the police... well, they'd got back to them, just not with anything helpful, as there was still no report of a stolen or missing horse, and the mare didn't have a microchip either - Dem had spoken to a friend who owned a few of the older readers and even they didn't pick anything up. "At least someone cares about you, hey beautiful girl?" She asked with a smile, as she thought about Kona, who had been a common face around the clinic since the mare had arrived.

Kona finished up with Casper and then headed down to the vet clinic. While she knew Mary - as she had taken to calling the mare - was clean now, she still visited only after she'd left the other barn for the day, just in case.

As she approached, she saw that the mare was out grazing that day, and saw the vet leaning against the fence. With a smile, she waved at the woman, then headed over to join her, "Any news from the police yet?"

Beauty, in the yard next door, gave away the arrival of another person and Demeter smiled as she turned at the sound of Kona's voice. "Nothing from the police, or the lost and found animal sites I'm going through each day." Demeter sadly shook her head, the mare was talent that was just wasting away in the yards. "I know that you're already working with one horse, but what would you say about adding exercising this girl to your list of things to do each day?" Her smile deepened. "What equestrian classes do you take?" While she didn't know how that mare would handle being in a fast-pace jumping class, she figured that she could talk to the instructors about allowing the mare into the quieter classes.

Kona frowned, "How strange." She leaned against the fence, and smiled as Mary left her grazing to come over - And to nibble the carrot that Kona had brought for her. As the vet asked about her exercising the mare, Kona brightened, "Do you think she's okay? I'd love to!" If Mary was up to that, of course. "I'm in show jumping and natural horsemanship. And reproduction." But that last one was hardly a consideration. "We could practice outside of classes, though. They might be a bit long for her starting out."

Demeter nodded, the mare needed exercise, and the girl and mare already had a bond, so she didn't see the point in bringing in a third party if she didn't have to. She pursed her lips as she considered the classes the girl was taking, show jumping lessons were well and truly out of the question just yet, as she wanted the mare to start on flat work. Natural horsemanship though? That one might work. "I'll leave her schedule up to you, but if you think she's up for it, I don't mind if you want to take her to your NHS class." She knew that those classes were relatively small and drama free, and there'd be no chance of the mare being spooked by another horse and rider cutting them off of galloping past them.

"You have free reign of the arena here, or you can use any of the other arenas. You can hand walk her out, but I'd advise not riding her out on the trails solo." The vet would probably be looking for a new job if anything happened to the girl.

Kona considered that, "Okay!" Mary might enjoy that class - And it would definitely help with bonding, and learning a bit more about the mare. She nodded seriously at the other restrictions - Nothing unreasonable, she found. The mare was still an unknown for a lot of things, after all, "Yes ma'am." She'd just have to ask someone to go out on the trails with her - She started thinking through the people she knew, already making plans, before she paused, "I should probably give her tack a good look over before trying anything, too." She knew they'd taken that off of the mare and it was somewhere, but it could probably use a good polish too before she used it, "Do you know where it ended up?"

Demeter narrowed her eyes good naturedly at the ma'am, but decided not to comment on it, after all it was a normal reaction from a lot of youngsters who had been brought up properly. "If it helps, she's already friendly with Garçon, so you'd just need to talk with Ms Carr about a rider for him." She glanced over at Beauty. "Or Beauty here." The mare was getting on in years, but she was the perfect school mistress so would be a calming influence should the other mare need it when being ridden out for the first time, Kona would just need to ask a friend to ride the mare.

The young vet blushed at the question about the tack. "I kind of let mom handle that." She said with a shrug. "It'll need a good wipe over with a polishing cloth, but it's all in one piece and the reins have been replaced; as they were worn through. It's in the tack room of the clinic barn." She glanced at the mare. "Does she have a name?" She couldn't always be referring to the horse by her colour, gender or the girl who looked after her, and she didn't want to name the horse as that place personal attachment, and she couldn't afford to become attached to any more horses.

Kona nodded at the options, "Thank you." She'd consider those options, and she was already thinking of people to ask, "I could ask my brother," that felt weird to say, "to come along."

SHe nodded at the information about where the tack was, "I'll do that later today." And she'd have to thank Ms. Carr for taking care of the reins. She blushed as Dr. Carr asked about the mare's name, "I've been calling her Mary." She shrugged, "We learned about Mary Celeste, the ship, at some point in history. It's a ship that they found, completely empty of people."

Demeter nodded. "Just make sure you get him to bring his horse here so they can meet before you hit the trails." She could picture everything that could go wrong should the horses meet out in the open and decide that they don't like each other... things never ended well.

She laughed and nodded her head at the reasoning for the mare's name. "Well, she was certainly lacking any persons when found." She said with a nod. "And now she has a name for her files."

Kona nodded, "Will do. Or he might be convinced to ride Beauty." She knew the mare wasn't exactly Mika's normal speed, but if she asked him nicely, he'd probably do it. And then they wouldn't have to worry about a new introduction on top of going out to the trails.

She chuckled as Dr. Carr didn't seem to find the name too silly - Amusing, yes, but not ridiculous - and nodded, "Yeah. She needed something, and our horses back home always just have simple names - Usually just after a feature or something. She'd have been called Spot back home." She grinned, "And that just sounds like a dog's name."

Demeter nodded. "Just tell him that if he rides Beauty, it would give the other mare a chance to see the trails as a fun place and next time he could bring his own horse." She suggested with a chuckle.

Dmeeter nodded on the reasoning for the horse's name, and laughed at what the mare could have been. "And there's already a spot in Red Willow." She too thought that it was a name better suited for a dog, but she wasn't going to say that in front of Jen, and it was fitted the Zorse well, and made people take a second look. "I don't need to call your parents and let them know that I haven't handed you a completely wild horse?" She knew that some parents could be a little fussy about the horses their kids rode.

Kona laughed, "That might convince him!"

She paused as she considered the information that 'Spot' was actually a horse on campus, "Really?!" She hadn't noticed that one - Although, in her defense, Caspar lived in the White Oak Barn, "A pinto of some sort? Poor horse." She shook her head at Demeter's question about her parents, "You probably couldn't reach them even if you tried, and they generally know I know my limits." She grinned, "Benefits of being from the end of the world, Alaska."

Demeter nodded and laughed. "She's lucky in this case, Spot happens to be a Zorse, with the most amazing markings on her legs." She felt it best not to mention that Spot belonged to the principal, because it would ruin the moment if the girl felt bad for what she had said.

She nodded at the information about the girl's parents. "Just let me know if it becomes a problem, as I don't want to cause issues. And even if I can't phone them, I can send them an email or something." She almost felt that she needed to contact them anyway, just to let them know how much of a help their daughter had been when the mysterious mare appeared.

She sighed as her phone began to ring. "I'd better take this. I'll see you around." She gave a wave as she accepted the call and walked away as she spoke.
