Subject: A van towing a horse trailer behind it enter the once quiet yard

It settles at the center and a man steps out. He looks round quickly, before moving swiftly over to the back doors of the trailer.
He looks over his shoulder, spotting you, but then gets back to what he is doing - bringing out tack and grooming supplies and laying them carefully onto the ground. The tack and accessories, although obviously used before, look reasonable and adequate.
Finally when everything has been brung out, all except the horse that is, the man steps inside the trailer.
Faint snorts and scuffling of hooves can be heard, before a horse is brought out.
The first thing to strike you when looking at the horse is it's color. Not a normal bey or chestnut, but almost actual red! Unlike any color you'd ever seen in a horse before, so strange it only leaves most people staring.
The mare's mane and tail are rich black, and on three legs are pale white socks.
The mare has her ears laid flat, eyes are wide and nervous - the whites of her eyes are very noticable.
The reason for this nervous disposition is not clear, but if a person were to inspect this horse more thoroughly they would find the faint scars from abuse suffered many years ago.
The man strokes her nose affectionately, and rubs her neck to calm her nerves.
He holds a piece of paper:

Stats
Name: Red Fury
Gender: mare
Breed: arabian
Color: Bey
Markings: three white socks, blaze
Height: 15'2
Age: 4
Training: Ground work, western and show jumping. Still young and trainable

This mare has a history with mistreatment and so will not go to first offer, but person thought most suitable

The man smiles at his approach, then a look of thought overcomes his face. "Well considerin you'll be getting all her tack, n accesories with her, I think say $2500 is more than a fair enough price, a bargain really! But I'm open for hagglin" Saying this he pauses, looking from the mare back to Alex, patting the mare on the neck. "Tell you what, before you decide anything how bouts I ride her for you, show you what she's like?" (NT) -- The Man, 08:11:20 09/19/01 Wed

He smiles at the interest he has for the mare. Well gee, I don't really wanna disappoint anyone here, but I guess one person is gonna go home sad. Well let me hear all your offers, before I decide on her new owner (NT) -- The Man, 08:14:50 09/19/01 Wed
Haggle -- Ada, 08:29:10 09/19/01 Wed
Quite good, she has a nice temperament, though is easily startled. Not around dogs though - one got near her once and she bolted. Took quite awhile to get her back (NT) -- The Man, 08:31:35 09/19/01 Wed
And other people? (NT) -- Ada, 08:44:24 09/19/01 Wed
Well she's mostly nervous of people when first meeting them, it'll take her awhile to get used to them. But I've not known her to snap or anything. (NT) -- The Man, 08:50:02 09/19/01 Wed

The man smiles, watching the mare follow after Alex. Then he walks back over to where Willow and the other man are, waiting for payment from Ada before they leave (NT) -- man, 13:34:32 09/19/01 Wed
Looks from one person, to the others, and back again. Well I'll tell you what ------> -- The Man, 08:34:35 09/19/01 Wed

He smiles, well lets say $1200? And then she's all yours (NT) -- The Man, 10:15:36 09/19/01 Wed
How about 1000? After all, she isn't trained and has a temper(?!).. (NT) -- Ada, 11:33:35 09/19/01 Wed
He thinks a little while, then grins, 1000? I've known men selling the wildest of horses up at $2000, he smiles. But ok $1000, she's all yours (Willow is now no longer for sale) *More Inside* -- the Man, 12:28:36 09/19/01 Wed
