--->DURLAND MANOR FARM If you're driving your trailer up the long driveway that leads the way to "DMF", then you owe yourself a pat on the back for making the cut. DMF is quite private, only accepting so many boarders, and talented ones at that. It is situated in the rolling hills of Virginia, with easy access to most A/AA shows up and down the east coast. They show often, win frequently, and aren't afraid to let you know it. Their pony hunters are picture perfect, their jumpers are clean and fast, their hunters are the epitome of elegance and their equitation riders are as graceful as they come. There are two trainers on the grounds, Andrew, who focuses on jumpers and equitation, and Emily, who trains the hunters.

Blair then emerged, dressed in clean breeches, her tall boots and the same black polo shirt she had on from school, her hair done up in a bun. She didn't feel like riding quite yet... Chris drove up a few minutes later, and went over to his tack drunk. He pulled on a pair of paddock boots from his trunk, then looked around.

"I'm going to go change," Logan said, with his bag slung over his shoulder. "Alright," Erin answered as she mad her way toward's her geldings stall.

Chris looked up and grinned when he saw Erin and Logan come in. He then grabbed a halter out of his trunk and led Maddie out into the crossties. Normally he would have had a groom get the mare ready, but apparently the two trainers and the stablehand had gone out to lunch.
Blair grabbed a water bottle out of the mini refridgerator and sat down on the couch in the lounge, and began flipping through the lastest Chronicle issue.

Logan headed into the lounge, and gave a small smile to Blair, before heading into the bathroom. Erin had finished pampering Flash with treats, and she too, strolled into the lounge. "Hey," Erin said softly to Blair, as she grabbed a Zepheryhills water from the fridge, and snatching a Horse Illustrated issue from the coffee table.

Blair looked up when Logan came in and smiled, then looked back to her magazine. When Erin came in, she glanced up again and added a "hello." Done reading the results section, she laid the issue down. "How's your day been so far?"

"Pretty good," Erin said, not going into depth as she browsed through the magazine, searching for something that would catch her intrest. Just as she found a good article to read, Logan exited the bathroom dressed in a pair of riding breeches, and a black show shirt. Erin smiled, her and her brother always liked looking sophisticated for even just lessons, so they usually wore show shirts. "I'll be in the outdoor arena if anyone needs me," Logan said, before leaving the room. Erin rolled her eyes, grabbing her backpack, and slipped into the bathroom to get changed. She re-emerged from the room moments later, dressed in fawn colored breeches, and a light blue show shirt. "You coming?" Erin asked as she grabbed her GPA Titanium helmet.

She flicked her wrist in goodbye and jogged towards the barn, struggling to put her blond hair up in a sloppy pony-tail as she went.

"Yeah," Blair said, leaving the magazine on the table and grabbing her water bottle. Admittedly she had gotten a bit distracted on seeing Logan pass through, but she stood up and brushed a bang out of her eyes.
Chris finished grooming his horse and went back over to his trunk, noticing as he went that two cars had pulled up. One belonged to Andrew, and Emily and the stablehand hopped out as well, and the other he recognized to belong to one of the younger boarders, Kerry. He smiled when she came in, feeling a bit like the personal greeter, but then went to get his tack and riding attire. He had never liked the idea of schooling in breeches, preferring his chaps and a baseball cap, if no one else was around.

Kerry waved distractedly at Chris, and hurried to go change into her riding clothes- which were casual; faded blue jeans, half-chaps, and a polo shirt. Her clothes were another way she didn't fit in as much around here. She couldn't afford the designer names and fancy brands most everybody else wore. At first, it had bothered her, but it didn't as much now. After all, she was here to ride, not to model. Kerry buckled on a pair of spurs and walked over to her horse's stall. "Hey, Kes," she greeted the pinto gelding.
