Andy stepped into the evening primrose barn where they kept the broodmares. This was also where they were keeping Ford his three week old foal that had lost his mother at birth. Andy had taken him in and took care of him ever since he was born. Andy had taken liking to the little guy. Andy knew that he would become rebellious as he grew older. This would prove difficult in training him; but Andy wouldn’t give up on him.
Andy had just put Galaxy’s tack way and finished grooming her from their trail ride. He was now going to see Ford; to groom and feed him; also just to spend time with him. As Andy walked inside the barn looking for Fords stall he was trying to think of a show name for him. But nothing came to mind; Andy still had at least four years before he would need one so he had time to come up with one. Andy had named him after the car company Ford. He knew it seemed a bit cheesy to call him after a car company but it was the first thing that had popped in his mind when he was born.
Andy found Ford’s stall in a minute after he entered the barn. “Hey there boy; did you miss me?” asked Andy. Andy had a soft spot for animals as well as children. Ford neighed at Andy as he saw him. The foal was glad to see his owner. He was also hungry and knew if he was around here he would feed him. Andy petted him on his snout. “I see your doing just fine” Andy observed the foal. Ford looked like he was gaining weight; which was a very good thing.

  Evangeline made her way to the Evening Primrose barn, her mare palomino tobiano mustang Naira trailing behind her. The mare's belly was bloated slightly with early pregnancy. She hadn't been told the mare was in foal when she bought her at the auction, but I guess it was no surprise with the way they had been kept at her last home. "Come along, Naira, you slow poke." Evangeline tapped the mare's flank with the end of the lead rope, hoping to speed her up a bit, but it really was a hopeless cause. "We are going to get to that barn in 20 years, mare. Speed up the process, sweetheart!" She gave Naira a harder smack with the lead rope, and smiled when the mare picked up to a faster walk. And before long they entered the barn.
"And here we are. Home sweet home." Eva sighed, turning the mare in her stall, next to the orphaned colt. She liked the spunky little guy, she had visited him a few times every now and then, mostly because she felt so ashamed to leave him when he gave her that cute little nicker. She unlatched Naira's halter and pulled it off, kissing her soft nose. "You behave now, crazy! You hear? I don't want to hear about your cribbing or you stall kick. You leave this poor little man alone." She motioned to the colt's stall. "Maybe try to be a mother to him. You sure could use the practice, very *friendly* person." Evangeline giggled slightly, kissing the mare again and giving her a squeez around the neck. If it isn't obvious already, Eva really had no idea about the man in with the colt. No idea at all.

Andy looked at the young foal. He wished that he had a caring mother to look after him like he has. Andy would never want to be a foster child. He looked at the foal and kissed him on his snout. Ford neighed and shook his head; Andy laughed “what I can’t kiss you?” asked Andy. Ford just neighed and looked at him waiting for his food. “Fine I’ll feed you if that’s what you want” Andy said smiling at the three week old foal.
Before he could grab the bottle to feed Ford a young woman came in with a pregnant mare. He went back to the foal; he seemed to know the young woman who had just walked in. He was shaking his head and acting exited to see her. “Do you know this young woman?” He asked the little foal. No answer came from the little foal, Andy was expecting at least a neigh to his words. Andy raised his eyebrows when she placed the mare in the stall next to Ford’s.
Andy listened to what the young woman was saying to the mare. “Well it seems you have a way with the ladies” Andy said while smiling at the foal. Andy looked at the girl curious as to who this young woman was. Andy looked at her and nodded to her as a greeting. “He sure does need the mothering” he said to her words before. “Hello my name is Andy I’m this little guys owner” he said looking back at his foal.

The mare rested her head against her owner's side, letting out a satisfied sigh. She enjoyed the good rub behind the ears, with her right hind leg cocked comfortably. Evangeline smiled, moving her fingertips in small circles at the base of Naira's ears. "You like this, eh? You big lazy mare." She said softly, planting another kiss in the mustang's head. "Pehaps you like this too much. You know? Once you have this foal and wean it off, I am putting you back to work. I won't have and lazy horses anround, you got it?" Eva laughed, running her fingers through the mares flaxen mane.
The voice startled her slightly and she lifted her head quickly, looking to the man in the colt's stall. "Oh, uhm... Hi." Eva said, smiling politely to the man. "I didn't see you there. My name is Evageline and this brat is Naira." She left the mare's stall, closing it behind her and heading to the tack room. She returned moments later with a small pink buckut of brushed. "He's quite the little cutie, ain't he?" Evageline said, motioning to the baby horse. "What's his name?" She began brushing Naira, getting the patches of caked mud she had been meaning to clean off with her rubber curry comb. The mare stood peacefully, munching at her hay.

Andy looked around it was quiet in the broodmare barn. Other then the young woman talking to her mare it was at least. Andy took the foal’s bottle and put in near his mouth so he can eat. The little foal did exactly that he placed his mouth on bottle and start to eat. Andy smiled at his little baby. He was the youngest out of all his pets, Crystal and Samurai were at least six weeks old and Ford is at least three weeks old. Although he loved all his animals equally; they also had a special place in his heart. Andy starched Ford’s little snout as he ate.
Andy looked at the young woman when she introduced herself. “Nice to meet you. I’m sorry If I startled you, I heard you talking about this little guy. Figured I would say hello” He said. He watched as she left towards the tack room. Andy looked at Ford and raised his eyebrows. Andy heard her return and didn’t look at her till she mentioned Ford. “Yes he is quite the cutie but a hand full. His names Ford, although I have yet to pick a show name for him. I’m glad I still have some time before he would need one” Andy said looking at the little foal while he ate.
