Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Violet walked into the tack store with a large coffee in hand. She was up a lot earlier than she had wanted, but work was work. The young woman saw that the doors were still locked and opened the door, locking it back behind her. Her boss was probably already in, organizing things – but Violet would still deal with the till.
After opening the registers and turning the lights on, Violet opened the doors, officially – to let people know it was time. Violet returned to the register and took a massive sip of her iced coffee. A yawn escaped her, before tackling the rolling cart of pants that needed to be refolded and stocked away. She hoped someone else in the shop would come in. Violet liked having another co-worker in the morning hours to keep her occupied. A little chit-chat, or just having someone else there was always welcomed.
Skye somehow found herself wandering into the tack store on her day off. She had a rare day off from the barn, well more like her parents had forced her to have a day off from the barn. They'd already rang the stables ahead of time - the evening before- to pay a stable hand to have her horses lunged, turned out and mucked out by the time she had even gotten to the barn. As much as she wanted to be annoyed, she had been grateful for their gesture, having noticed how tired she had been lately with training and work. It was her own fault, she never rested on her days off and it had caught up to her.
However, she still couldn't keep away from everything horse related. She had put aside some things in the shop to buy after her next shift but the day off meant she could pick it up early and have a good nose through the new stock. Skye pushed open the door to the shop and headed inside, having a quick glance around to see who was working. Spotting Violet, she smiled and moved over to where she was. "Hey, how's the shift going?"

“Hey Skye!” Violet smiled. “Just started, and it’s slow so far. Just chugging away at the tornado of clothing," Violet laughed. She preferred helping with people looking for boots or something, but horse retail did entail clothing. And a lot of it, too.
“I’m hoping it picks up a bit. Hours at the other place have been earlier and earlier..”
“Hey Skye! Just started, and it’s slow so far. Just chugging away at the tornado of clothing," She smiled and glanced around the quiet shop – not ideal if you wanted a shift to pass by quickly. ”Yeah it’s always quiet in the morning isn’t it.” She moved to the rack Violet was sorting through and had a quick flick through some things. “I’m hoping it picks up a bit. Hours at the other place have been earlier and earlier..” She glanced at her phone to check the time and nodded. ”Should pick up soon. .you work at the ranch right?” She asked, looking back to her co-worker.

“Yeah, that’s right. It makes coming to work here harder sometimes,” she laughed. “But at least I’m not stuck with the afternoon shift before the 4 am shift.” It was one of the times that Violet was happy that the ranch provided housing, making commuting a lot easier. She was dressed and at work faster than if she needed to drive.
She heard the bell of the door go off. “Welcome to the Tack store. Let us know if you need help with anything.” The customer didn’t respond but most of them never did.
Violet turned her attention to Skye again. “How's your photography going?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It makes coming to work here harder sometimes, but at least I’m not stuck with the afternoon shift before the 4 am shift.” She smiled and shook her head. ”I don’t know how you get up that early.” She stated. Skye got up early enough for the barn but the girl loved her sleep. The bed would not be leaving her back before 7am unless it was for a show. Her attention turned to the door as the bell dinged, announcing a customer’s presence, giving them a smile as Violet greeted them. “How's your photography going?” Her brows furrowed for a moment. ”uhh I don’t do photography.” She said with a slight grin. ”Unless you count taking endless pictures of my horses and dog on my phone” She joked.

Violet could help but cringe that she got something about her coworker wrong. “Ah, gosh, I’m sorry! I guess I was thinking about someone else then...There seems to be a lot of photographers around nowadays,” Vi laughed. “I just remember you did some kind of art thing. But who knows, I could be wrong there too,” she added with a snort. Vi took a sip of her beverage, making sure it would last for a little longer.
“I would count that,” Vi smiled, but her eyes caught something in her peripheral. The customer who walked in was hovering quite close to the small trinkets. Her Spidey senses went off. “That customer that just walked in…is giving some weird vibes right now.”
