Ellie's in the stables, cleaning up after taking a ride around the ring. She doesn't get to come out here nearly as often as she'd like, and one of her New Year's resolutions really does need to be to make more time to ride.
Stomping the dirt off of her boots and dusting her breeches off, she gets a pail of apples and carrots together to go hand out treats to Beer and the other horses in the paddock. Walking towards the gate, she thinks she recognizes their new visitor, too!
"Hi! Gosh, it's been a long time hasn't it? Is there anything I can help you with today?" It's good to see a familiar and friendly face!
