The crunching of gravel ment the new horses had arrived at the farm. Steven had been watching the clock paitenly, he'd was so excited as these horses he had bought had impecable conformation. He stood at the door as two trucks with trailors attached to the back pulled up on the front lawn. He shut the door behind him a huge grin on his face. "Good morning!" he shouted to the older man who stepped out of the car. "Hello." he smiled, greeting Steven with a hand. Steven shook it cheerfully and peeked into the trailor through the slots. "How are they?" he asked slightly concerned, since they'd came all the way from Egypt. "They're fine. If a bit tired." he laughed noticing the new owners concern. Through the slots of the red trailor two large black eyes starred back. The other driver then got out of the truck, a woman in her 40s with shoulder length brown hair. "Ebony's egar to get out." she laughed, scratching a black nose that was pressed against a slit in the other purple trailor. "She's a spirited one." the man chuckled, walking to the back of the red trailor. Taking down the door a loud whinny came fom inside. This sent the other horses in the near by paddocks to nicker and neigh back. Then the man took a hold of the stallions halter with a chain and leather lead rope and lead him down the ramp. Steven let a small sound escape his mouth as the stallion stepped out arching it's neck and flarring it's nostrils. " Wow. He's a beauty alright." Steven sighed, stepping closer to the beast and patting it's sleek shoulder. "So where do you want him?" the man asked looking around. "Errrm... I'll take him down to the paddock." he grinned, watching the stallion paw the ground inpatiently. He took the lead and began to walk, Passion following obidently holding his head high taking in his surroundings.
As he returned both of the mares were already out of the cramped trailor and carefully cropping the short grass. Steven was taken back by the grey mares face as she lifted it to see him, eyeing him with huge dark eyes. The black mare began to pull the man across the lawn towards the paddocks. He pulled back sharply making the mare snort in suprise. "She's strong willed this one." he grunted, dragging the mare back next to the grey. "That's okay. It's nice to see a more stubborn mare." he smiled running his hands over the other mare. Justice nickered and nudged his arm with her sweetly dished nose. Then she continued to eat the grass as he walked over to Ebony. The young black mare snorted and nodded her head "Shhh..." he soothed letting her sniff the back of his hand. "Okay then I'll take these as well then." he sighed grabbing the lead that the man held out for him and then taking the other one. Leading both mares down towards the stables he smiled to himself silently.
