starter for: @rawhcney. location: ward ranch.
“Be careful, alright? The last thing we need is for you to get kicked in the chest by a horse, yes?” Santino says to a new hand, running his hand along one of the Ward’s horses. Hiring new recruits on the ranch was always tedious, especially since Jim Ward was a particular kind of man, as well as stubborn and hard-headed. While people like Santino and Babe remained on his good side, it was a chore to keep things in line regardless.
While the new hand gets comfortable, familiarizing themselves with the grounds, he pads back over to Babe. “What do you think, hm?” He asks her, nodding to the new hand. “Do you think they’ll last or no?”
