Casey Adams

Casey stopped Othello once she was in the middle of the arena. She slipped his reins over his neck and moved to his shoulder. She began stretching his left foreleg and then went to stretch the other three. Once she had finished, Casey moved to his left side by his girth and gripped the pommel with her left hand and stuck her foot into the stirrup. She hopped twice and swung her right leg over Othello's back and settled into the saddle. She inspected both stirrups and bent over to adjust her left one.

Casey gathered the reins and asked Othello for a walk. She saw Kurtis walk across the stable yard and into the house. Hm, I wonder what he's doing? Oh pay attention, the big championship is coming up! Her heart raced at the thought of winning the silver champion's cup. Oh I won't win... Casey averted her eyes from Kurtis's house and focused on her horse. She worked him at a trot and then into a canter. Staying in perfect position, Casey let Othello into a hand-gallop for a few seconds and slowed back to a trot and then a walk. Casey let him free walk while she planned out her jumping course. Once she had one in mind, she tightened the reins and cued Othello for the canter. She lead him over a simple one foot vertical for a warm up, and circled him over it several times before leading him to a two foot faux brick wall jump and flew over it.

Casey kept him at an even pace and continued the round. She made it to the last jump without any faults, but Othello ducked out at the last second, sending Casey over the jump without him. She landed on the ground with a thud. Ow... Oh well, our course was good besides that last jump. She got back up and dusted herself of before walking over to Othello. "Good boy! You were great!" She stroked his neck before mounting again. "Lets try again, shall we?" Othello bobbed his head, as if agreeing with her, causing Casey to giggle. "Haha! Alright. Lets go!" Casey circled Othello and moved him into a canter and readied herself for the jump Three... Two... One... now! On now, Casey launched herself into an elevated position to keep her balance. Although the feeling is short, it's one of Casey's favorites.

Pyper smiled as she heard Loco's loud neighing. He was more hyper than usual. She felt a sharp pang in her heart as she realized she's somewhat ignored him the past week or so. She hopped off of Paisley and watched as Loco started hopping from leg to leg, sort of like a dance. That was the one thing she loved about him. He was completely crazy. People told her he wasn't worth it. That he was too wild to handle and that she should just euthanize him. She'd saved his life. She'd gone looking for a new horse and wasn't even looking at him. She was looking at his brother. But when she heard the horse screaming, she took off in search of the source. She found him, strapped down with a gun to his head. She saved his life that day. Without her, he would have died but she found him just in time. His previous own had called him Loco. Saying he was too wild hand had hurt too many people to be worth their time anymore but Pyper thought wrong. She walked into his pen, without any type of rope or lead and he just stood there, staring at her. The owners told her she was crazy as that she was going to get killed but that's no where close to what happened. He walked right up to her and stuck his nose right her face, rubbing his face all over her like a dog. She fell in love. Loco became hers. She patted his head and he whinnied loudly. "Alright, alright. Calm down, we're going for a ride." One of the stable hands walked by and spotted Paisley. "Do you want me to cool her off for you Ms. McMyers?" Pyper glanced over her shoulder and smiled. "Sure Erik. Go ahead. You can ride her for a bit if you like. But no cantering around please, just a light ride." He grinned and took the reins, leading Paisley out into the riding pen. Pyper took Loco out, tacked him up and looked at him. "You're one gorgeous boy, you know that?" He bobbed his head as if in agreement and she smiled, happy that she would be riding him again.

Elise Azarize

Elise walked down the dirt path in the pasture, listening to the rhythm of Arlo's hoofbeats. Reaching the gate, she slowly retrieved an extra leadrope from the white fence and clipped it to his halter. She unfastened the gate latch and lead Arlo to the barn. Once at his stall, Elise removed his halter and leaned against the door, wondering what she should do for her next lesson. Ugg I'll worry about it later, I need an aspirin. Elise reopened the stall door and closed it again behind her. Walking through the aisle, she wondered if she had gotten more at the store. I think I did... I could be wrong. She headed up the stairs to the offices. Once reaching her destination, she opened her door and walked over to the desk. Elise filed through her drawer and pulled out a brand-new bottle of the pills.

"He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic."

Kurtis twitched, thinking about the fact that New York was no longer his home. I can't give up! "Hmph," he let out, turning away from the kitchen to go upstairs and into his bedroom, which he had only half-unpacked. "I AM going to get back home," he told himself, avoiding the boxes and instead going to the window seat and sitting down to rest his head against the glass and peer out at the acres of fields and pastures. This place was where Mom grew up, he remembered. She only moved to New York 'cause she loved Dad.

He sighed. "But I was born here before she moved to the Big Apple," he murmured with a grimace. "This is my hometown."

Deephaze - Shire mare

The sights, the smells and the sounds. All of these frightened the young mare as she paced within her stall. Quite whinnies escaped her as she stopped. She couldn't work out why she was here and where her owner had gone.
Deephaze flicked her dull, dirty tail in agitation as she heard other horses near by. She wasn't used to her own kind, the only other horse she knew was her mother and she hadn't seen her in a long time.
Were they friendly? Were they dangerous? She feared this unknown.

((I hath made an OOC guys, it's beautiful so go looky))

Heiki raised her golden head and sleepily opened her eyes. She gazed over at the newcomer and shot up straight. "Oh hello! I'm sorry I've been sleeping, I didn't realize you had come yet!" Heiki felt her foal kicking inside her stomach. She's coming soon! "I'm Heiki by the way, what's your name?" She studied the other mare, realizing she had some height on her. Must be a draft. She's pretty though. She noted her gray coat seemed slightly dirty. I'm sure she'll become someone's favorite soon, she seems nice.

Deephaze - Shire Mare

Deephaze jumped in fright and turned around when she heard the voice. She never even seen this mare when she was brought in. A pregnant mare at that.
"Um, I'm Deephaze. W-Who are you?"
She took a step back unsure of this strange mare, it had been so long since she had seen one of her own kind.

"He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic."

Kurtis sighed, standing up as he scratched the back of his neck. "What the hell am I supposed to do here?" he muttered, resting his forehead against a wall. I really need to get out of this place. It's way too open. I like New York. It lets me think in my little bubble.

Knowing that he was no longer there, though, the redhead grimaced, kicking the wall. Maybe I should try to get a job somewhere away from this hellhole.

[Ronyrox20]

"Nice to meet you Deephaze, I'm Heiki. You're new here right? I think you'll like it. The humans are very kind to us here and the feed is excellent." The very pregnant mare shifted her weight and cocked her hind leg. She looked at the mare again, more carefully this time. She's very strong looking. Deephaze, that's a nice name. "So where do you come from?" Heiki was naturally curious, like all horses, and wanted to know more about this mysterious new mare.

Deephaze - Shire Mare

"Well um. I'm from a farm. I worked ploughing the fields and drawing the cart into town for market...but my owner was really sad the passed few days and I was put into this big moving metal things...and now I'm here. Where's my owner gone? I don't understand."
Deephaze cautiously took a step forward. It was nice to speak to someone about her feelings.

[Ronyrox20]

"I understand how you feel, my last true owner past away in December, then I moved to Illinois, and then here. But before all that I lived in Austria." Heiki remembered all the places she lived quite well, she had an exquisite memory. She hoped her foal wouldn't have the stress of moving from place to place as she had. "Mostly I was used as a broodmare, but I've done some driving before."

Rose Rane ~ Beginner Plus Rider

Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret
Such selfishness...

Rose stepped out of the taxi, Grace leaping out after her as she paid the woman driving it and turned to face her favorite place: Sky Ridge Stables. The only place were she could talk to people somewhat freely and comfortably. She smiled and scratched Grace behind the ears before heading down the road in between two big pastures holding content horses. She was wearing her usual black and red cat hoodie, but had traded out the usual corset and skirt out for a band t-shirt and black jeans, the only clothing she was comfortable riding in. She slipped inside the stables silently with Grace at her heals, panting happily the way she always did. The dog liked to get out and be around the horses almost as much as her owner did, and was content to follow her owner wherever she went. Rose checked the stall of the horse she usually rode - a calm mare called Lasting Impressions who she had nicknamed raspberry (the horse looked like dark chocolate, she reasoned, and raspberries went great with dark chocolate). She found the stall empty and scanned the clipboard beside the door to see where she was. Ah, the Johnson field back by the owner's house. She smiled, happy that Raz had gotten to relax out in the fields today, and grabbed a lead rope so that she could catch her and bring her in to tack her up. She left the stable humming to herself, and by the time she got to the field she was full out singing since no one was around. "I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined. I'm just beginning; the pen's in my hand - ending unplanned..." Her voice grew into a steady, sweet soprano as she went, and when she reached the back paddock Lasting Impressions looked up, familiar with the voice. Rose grinned and jumped the fence fluidly, beckoning the horse closer and clipping the lead on, all the while singing to her.

My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all...

Casey Adams

Casey slowed Othello to a walk after she had completed the course for the third time. After a few minutes of walking, she halted her black and white horse and hopped off and scratched his forehead. "Good boy! I'm so proud of you, you did so well!" The brown haired girl carefully lifted the reins over her precious horse's neck and led him out of the outdoor arena. Walking down the path to the pasture, Casey let out a nervous sigh. She only had a few weeks until the small show at Sky Ridge that could get her into the show team. Which was her dream. She unlatched the pasture gate and entered the field. After closing the gate behind her, she brought Othello to the fence and began untacking him. She finish and pushed him towards the middle of the field, and after he had nudged her goodbye he cantered off, bucking. Casey watched him play for a little while before heading back to the barn. She adjusted the saddle, making sure nothing slipped before she stared walking.

Pyper smiled as she moved Loco down the trails. She felt a tad bit lonely with no one riding along with her but she was glad she had Loco. He pranced around, often jerking his head off in odd directions listening to the sounds and neighing at some of the horses they passed. She patted his neck softly and smiled. Suddenly she heard a yell.

She turned around in the saddle to see Paisley jumping over the riding pen fence. Pyper cursed under her breath and turned Loco around quickly. She took off towards Paisley who just happened to be prancing around in the grass. The stable hand was just sitting there in the middle of the riding pen stunned. Pyper looked down at him. "I'm so sorry, she's never done that before." She whistled and Paisley pranced up to her, sticking her long neck out towards Pyper. She grabbed the reins as Loco bent his neck around to n** at Paisley's ear. Pyper cursed again and watched the stable hand crawl under the fence and take Paisley's reins. "I'm really sorry. I've never seen her do that before."

"It's alright. She got excited when a young mare started kicking around." the stable hand patted Paisley's head as the mare snorted and nuzzled his shoulder. Pyper sighed heavily, hoping she'd never see her mare do anything like that again.
