Part Two – Birthdays, Children & meeting foals 3 & 4
Today is Maxx’s Birthday turning from a teenager to a young adult is a huge step, but with everything Maxx had been through in her life, everyone knew she would tackle the next phase in her life without any problems.
After school she received a nice birthday cake to meet her and everyone came to celebrate, with everything that had happened and everyone was still very upset by it all, they decided a private event would be best.
Regardless of wishes or anything Maxx was still really fresh and upset about Nicholas, he really broke her heart.
And then it happened she grew up, with the new age comes new responsibilities, nothing that she wouldn’t tackle in due course.
It was Holly’s birthday too. For some reason time was flying by and Maxx wasn’t happy she is growing up so quickly.
Holly is now a toddler and she and Maxx have a great relationship. Despite Maxx’s heart being broken she still loves Holly and wants the best for her daughter.
Maxx spent time trying to comfort Neptune who was still very unhappy and not himself.
And he would try to comfort Maxx when she spent times in the indoor arena crying.
They still loved one another and Maxx knew that a ride might help them both. After some care and hugs it was time to go for a ride across the countryside to try to get their minds off all this pain.
It was a nice evening and both rode for hours, just racing around, resting and going different places, finding some kind of peace.
Honey on the other hand thought it was time for the mares to be bred again and spoke with Starlight, encouraging him that he should go about business and get the two mares pregnant. He wasted no time of course.
Despite all that had happened Maxx decided to ride Neptune to build up his racing skills again, as usual, it always started off with hugs, love and care.
But Neptune just wasn’t interested, he threw Maxx off. Something he’s never done before. What was happening with him?
Maxx told him off and he did feel bad.
Trying again and he just didn’t want a bar of rides, Neptune really wasn’t being himself and Maxx hit the ground once again. Maxx had enough and set for home leaving Neptune to think about what he had done.
Graduation day – time for Maxx to graduate and everyone went to watch her and celebrate such a great day. Maxx was a top student with 3 honor roll mentions to add to her portfolio.
Once it was over, Paparazzi came to snap some photos however Honey had other ideas, she needed to get to hospital to give birth. It was time….
After the paparazzi had finished taking photos Maxx set off home and wait to see what Honey has.
While she waited for Honey Maxx went back to riding Neptune, and she pushed him through the ring of fire. He didn’t throw her off this time, he was more content. She didn’t understand but none the less they jumped that ring a few times perfectly.
After some time Honey was a proud mum of a little boy – Thomas, she was on her way home to put Thomas to bed.
Caleb one of the regular Paparazzi was at the property so Maxx spoke with him a little.
Then she did something she’s never done before, kissed him. He got a little spooked and ran off. Leaving her to feel even sorrier for herself.
Maxx spent time with holly down in the barn, teaching holly to walk and talk. Meanwhile Starlight came to tell Maxx that he successfully impregnated the mares.
With all the horses and growing family, it was time to do what everyone hated to do. Poppy had asked Maxx to sell Starlight, he had maxed out all the skills and as he was the sire to their mares they needed room for a new stallion, so Maxx had the difficult job of selling him.
Maxx’s best friend Steve called her over for a party something Maxx hasn’t been to for a while, so she spent the evening with her best friend. A deserved night off.
Back at home, the mares decided it was time to be mums again and both gave birth to two little colts.
Galaxy gave birth to Davey, a cute little lad who had his daddy’s colours but some of mum’s markings.
Sweet Secret gave birth to Darcy, who is similar to mum in colours but has some of his dad too.
Was a joyful night at the Ranch.
With everything happening so quickly, Honey decided to take Neptune to the Equestrian Centre and sell him while Maxx was at the party. Neptune was not being himself and with the new foals room was needed for a stallion that could be used for the girls. With Neptune’s irregular behavior it was not something anyone wanted in their breeding program.
Neptune wasn’t training as well as he use to so it was easier on everyone to let him go. Honey took the responsibility as hard as it was; she was the only other person who could ride him safely.
On her way out ready to go home, she saw a stallion up for sale a beautiful Gypsy Cob called Ranger, so she brought him. Perhaps he would be a great sire of the girls next foals?
Meanwhile at home the foals were getting to know one another and play together.
They played and jumped around having a nice happy time.
They spent time talking and playing, sharing their secrets and stories.
