David pulled the pickup into the driveway and lept out of the rusty truck. Jessica ran to the door and tried the key. Opening the door she screamed and ran inside. David jumped at the excited sound. "Geeze!" he said cupping his hands over his ears. Jessica looked around the old house. It was clean and antique looking. "It's nice." said David finally entering and closing the old door behind him. "It's perfect!" said Jessica. They explored the home and finally met up again in the den. "Look, another fireplace!" said Jessica. David nodded and went outside to the trailer that was hooked up to the truck. "Let's move in then." he said calling her out.

Steven noticed the car and trailor that was parked outside the house. ''Someone must of moved in.'' he muttered to himself. He walked into the farm for a closer inspection.

David turned around as he heard someone walking behind him. "Hey." he called invitingly. Jessica smiled at the man entering the farm and continued about her business of carrying the bow of clothes into the house. David decided to meet his neighbor. "What's up?" he asked walking toward the man.

''Hi.'' he smiled. He held out his hand for the man to shake, ''I saw your truck and the trailor and guessed someone had moved in.''

"Yeah. Just today." he said shaking the man's hand. "Name's David. That was my sister Jessica." he told him. Jessica walked out of the house, hands empty, and up to the man in the driveway. "Hi." she smiled. "I suppose he told you who I am." she laughed.

''Hi.'' he smiled, holding his hand out for the woman. ''Nice to meet you.'' he grinned bowing his head. ''So, what kinda' horses do you keep?'' he asked.

Jessica smiled again and shook his hand. David answered, "Different kinds. We are hoping to eventually focus on arabians of Thouroughbreds. But we have both and Quater horses too right now." Jessica nodded. "Would you like to see them?" she asked.

"I agree." said Jessica leading him to the stallion barn. "We have one over here." David walked back to the trailer. "I'll finish up here!" he called. Jessie nodded and continued to walk toward the barn. She opened the door and led him inside. "Oh by the way, what's your name?" she laughed, stopping in the middle of the barn.

''Steven Hermison.'' he replied. He scanned the barn, the familiar horse smell very inviting.

"Oh ok. Nice to meet you, Steven." she said. She continued into the end of the barn where to male horses stood at their doors. One was a young colt, 8 months of age. The other, a full grown stallion. "Freddy is the little Quarter. And this is the Arab." she told him.

He smiled at the little foal as he looked up at the stranger. He then saw the stallion. He stroked his nose slowly, ''Lovely dished nose and he looks in good condition. Do you plan on showing him?'' he asked, hoping there would be some competitions for his own stallions.

"Hoping too." she said. "We haven't worked with him yet. His name is Turner." Jessica watched how Steven seemed so good with her stallion. "How long have you been working with horses?" she asked.

''Oh, quite a while now. Proberly a good 20 years.'' he puffed, thinking back to his childhood. ''He's a nice stallion. You'd proberly get some good foals from him.'' he smiled patting the bay stallion.

Jessie smiled. "Yeah that's the plan." She sat on a small bench that barely seated three people. And watched him work with the stallion. Turner shook his mane and bobbed his head. "I think he likes you!" laughed Jessica. Turner mouthed at the hands of the man petting him and looked for food. Finding none, he snorted and pulled his head back.
