Alyssa returned to the stables and picked up the grooming brush and slowly entered the Abraxan's stall. "Hi there. Remember me? I'm here to brush you down and make you all nice and shiny again."Alyssa whispered to the winged horse as she put on her leather gloves.

She first gently wiped its muzzle and then its face with a wet towel to remove the dust and hay from it before moving up to the ears. She used the towel to wipe the ears with an upward stroking motion, starting from the base of the ears until the tips.

Once she was done with the Abraxan's head, she replaced the towel for a grooming brush and started brushing down its chest. She brushed away the dust and removed the hay until its coat started gleaming again. Then Alyssa moved up to the Abraxan's mane. She first untanged the hairs, removing any knots from the the mane before picking up a grooming comb and started combing its mane. She combed and combed until the mane was nice and silky looking again. Then she slowly moved to the back of the Abraxan making sure not to alarm it and gently picked up its tail and did the same thing she did with its mane. She gently unknotted the tangles and removed whatever hay and grime there was on it before taking the comb and gently combing it down. Once its tail was looked smooth and shiny, Alyssa swapped her comb for the grooming brush again.

She started brushing down the Abraxan's body, with smooth downward strokes. She brushed and she brushed, making sure that she covered every area of the winged horse's body. She only stopped brushing when she stepped back to inspect the Abraxan and saw a beautiful gleaming Palamino horse standing proudly in its stable. Alyssa smiled and gently patted it on it neck.

"We're all done now. Thank you for being so patient with me and for not kicking me while I was brushing your tail. I'm going to work on your other friends now. Once I'm done I'll come back and feed all of you." Alyssa whispered to the Palamino before picking up her bucket containing her grooming equipment and moving on next to the Aethonan standing in the next stall.
