Dustin laughed and put the hoof pick down, he watched Lily feed him his treats. Dustin Rubbed Deductive's neck and llooked at Lily again they must have done a bit of groundwork with him.. Do you rug him?

"Ya, I'm sure they did. And ya, we should probably rug him, as you say. The weather's getting a bit chilly." She'd just purchased a blanket, too. Good thing, since winter was just around the corner, and if she wanted to put him out at all, he'd need it.

Dustin nodded and run his hands along Deductive's back.. yea, doesn't have a winter coat. He kneeled Beside the horse and started rubbing his front leg..
Deductive continued munching on his treats and looking around, he snorted and as he felt Dustin touch his leg, lifted it, then stood hold it up..

"Haha. He's a goof, that's for sure. What are you doing, sweety? Be nice for Dustin. We like him." She rubbed his nose, then gave him a sugar cube. If she wasn't careful he was going to get fat from all the treats she was giving him. And the snow would start soon, so hay-belly would just add to it.

Dustin laughed and stopped Touching Deductive's leg, a smile spread across his face as the horse put his leg down. Just to make sure he was guessing right, Dustin touched Deductives leg again and nodded as he picked it up..they've trained him to pick up his legs when you touch them Rubbing Deductives Belly Dustin stood watching lily.

Lily smiled and kissed Deductive's nose. "Ya, that's a good boy. You're a smart one, that you are." A grin seemed permanently on her face when she was around horses, especially this one. Because he was hers, and he was a sweetheart. She patted his forehead and gave him the last baby carrot she'd grabbed, then glanced at Dustin. "Wanna give him the last sugar cube?"

Dustin smiled, Lily seemed so happy with the horse. wheres his rug? Remembering he had to check Cruize before he left Dustin sighed, he hated winter, the stallion was guaranteed to get Colic a few times or just after winter was over, he'd done it the last few years.. Snapping back Dustin heard Lily offered for him to give Deductive the last sugar cube.. sure..

She handed him the sugar cube and headed for the tack room. "It's in the tack room with the rest of our stuff. I'll grab it." He wouldn't know which one was theirs anyway. All of her stuff was blue, her favorite color, but Dustin didn't know that. So it was just easier this way.

She called over her shoulder as she walked. "That's fine. Go ahead and do that now while I get the blanket." She walked into the tack room and went over to her area. Opening a big bin, she pulled out Deductive's new winter coat and walked back out to the horse. She stood there for a second, wondering how she was going to do this. Unfolding the blanket, she made an attempt to fold in half the way it was supposed to be, but it wasn't working out too well one-armed. She hated feeling helpless.

Dustin smiled as Lily said it was ok, he didn't think she'd say no..She wasn't evil. Walking out to the paddock Dustin smiled as the thoroughbred came up to him and nudged him as a hello, he opened the gate and let Cruize walk out. Dustin rarely used a lead on Cruize anymore, he never needed it. With Cruize following, Dustin walked into the stables and saw Lily with the Blanket, he still had to put Cruize's on, but it wouldn't kill him to wait a little longer. Want some help?

She looked up as he walked in. "Please? That'd be great, Dustin. Thanks. I can't wait until my arm heals enough that I can at least do this kind of stuff on my own. Not that I mind you helping me. In fact, I really enjoy your company." Ya, she was tired.

Dustin walked Closer and when he was about a metre away from them he turned to Cruize and pushed on his nose slightly then walked over to Lily and threw the rug over Deductives back. Dustin smiled at Lily and glanced at Cruize, who was still standing where Dustin had told him to stop, It had taken a while and a good bond to train Cruize the way he had.. can ya do the straps or do you want some help?

She was in awe at how well Dustin had his horse trained. "Wow, he's pretty amazing. Ya, I could use some help with the straps. I might be able to do it one-handed, but it would take forever." Lily was coordinated, but not that much. "Do you think you could help me train Deductive like that?"

Dustin nodded and Straightened the rug, then started on all the straps. it took time to get him like that, he used to just keep following.. Dustin finished the straps and straightened the rug again, he looked at Lily and smiled sure, it takes time, but its worth it, I've Barely used a lead with him since i trained him Dustin clicked his tongue and smiled as Cruize walked up to him and stood in front of them.
