Those are amazing, Gingy! Thanks! I just have to figure out how to add them in lol.
Btw, all you mods can start working on your charries before we go live and I make our real page here soon. The only ones you really need to post before that are your trainers and overseers, so they won't get taken by other members. Make your claims before you post, so everyone can know what you're taking.

staff:
{Mara Johnson} Trick Riding Head trainer female | 26 Tall, slender woman with long red hair that usually stays in a mess of curls. She has lovely, feline-like blue eyes. Mara loves to have fun and is a great, loyal friend. She loves helping those in need. However she tends to be strict in class because she’s been trick riding since she was a child. In her free time, Mara does Liberty work with her horse Cobalt. [*Morningglory*]
{James White} Indian Relay Head Trainer male | 28 James is a tall, largely-built man. He has a braid of thick black hair and deep brown eyes. This man is the walking image of any textbook picture of an Indian. Buck is generally care-free but normally is seen with an air of seriousness about him; it takes a lot for his care-free self to come out around people. Indian relay is a family tradition and thus very important to him. [*Morningglory*]
{Claire Gordon} Reining Head Trainer Female | 26 Claire is a slender woman with white-blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She is almost always seen wearing her cowboy hat. She is a riding prodigy in hometown and came to the school on scholarship at thirteen. Been there ever since, working as a trainer after graduation. This makes her a bit snob-ish with her fellow trainers and strict on her students. Nevertheless she loves to have fun and is a great friend. [*Morningglory*]
students:
{Zoey (Zo) Summers} Trick Riding female | 17 | 'Scholarshiper' Small girl, only standing at 5’3. She has coppery brown hair and big blue eyes. Zo is an absolute sweetheart, often going out of her way to help others. She can be ambitious though so don’t stand in her way. Zo comes from a small town in the middle of nowhere. She lived with her twin brother Liam and their father. Secondary Discipline is reining. Elective Discipline is dressage. Also enjoys painting and will often be seen painting when she’s not on, around, or even under horses. [Morningglory]
{Liam Summers} bronc riding male | 17 | 'Scholarshiper' Liam is taller and larger than his sister Zo, but has the same coppery hair and bold blue eyes. He is quite the handsome man, with a strong jaw and confident stature. Liam is anything if not bold. He’s determined in his ways and ambitions and will not stand for any nonsense that keeps him from it. He is not afraid to speak his mind. Nevertheless, he’s nothing short of a gentleman. Grew up in a small town with his sister Zo and their father. Secondary Discipline is steer wrestling. Elective Discipline is roping. Also enjoys watching any rodeo discipline. [*Morningglory*]
{Gloria Matthews} show jumping female | seventeen | 'Richie' Tall, lanky, black haired girl with piercing green eyes. She has delicate, almost doll-like features under her alabaster skin. Gloria knows she’s pretty and uses that to get what she wants- especially when it comes to guys. She is haughty and ambitious to be the best. She’s the only daughter of a French ambassador. Fluent in four languages (English, French, German, and Dutch) and when she gets angry or embarrassed she gets her languages confused and will talk in all four at the same time. Secondary Discipline is cross country. Elective Discipline is barrel racing Also enjoys swimming and ballet. [*morningglory*]
horses:
{Cobalt} | Private (Mara Johnson) male | 7 A 15hand, black marble appaloosa with snowflake spots. He has lovely bright blue eyes. He has a thick mane and tail that Mara normally keeps half braided. Cobalt is goofy and fun-loving. He is laid back when being ridden but when he’s out in the pasture his care-free personality takes over. He has been with Mara since he was born and she was six years old. Used primarily for Trick Riding but Mara rides him for other things like trail rides. [*morningglory*]
{Bonita} Private (James White) female | 6 Bonita is a lovely palomino American Indian horse with deep amber eyes. She has white socks on all four feet, a white blaze, and a white splash on her left flank. She is rather short, standing at 14 hands but she’s still quite the fast runner. Bonita is shy when it comes to being around others but when she’s racing, she’s bold and determined. Her absolute favorite thing is running. Used for Indian Relay. [*Morningglory*]
{Tango} Private (Claire Gordon) female | 4 Tango is a quarter horse and stands at 16 hands. She has a bright red coat with white tobiano markings. Her mane and tail are deep red and her eyes are blue. Tango is as sassy and strong-willed as her rider Claire. She can be quite stubborn and finicky but isn’t afraid to get down and dirty. Her favorite thing is walking in creeks and playing in mud puddles but only if no one is watching. Used for reigning. [*Morningglory*]
{Chariot} Private (Zo Summers) male | 8 Chariot is a 15hand cremello quarter horse with black rings around his hoofs and a white mane and tail. He has deep almond colored eyes. Chariot is pretty excitable and is always up for any kind of riding. He has a knack for making everything into an adventure. Used for Trick riding, reining, and dressage. [Free for Use]
{Zeus} Private (Liam Summers) male | 7 15hand solid white mustang with brown eyes. Zeus is strong-willed, stubborn, and what one would call a ‘lady’s man’. He’s ambitious and sometimes rude to other horses. Used for bronc riding, steer wrestling, and roping. [Free for Use]
{All that Jazz (Jazz)} Private (Gloria Matthews) female | 5 Jazz is a small chestnut Arabian horse standing at 15 hands. She has bright blue eyes. Jazz is goofy, social, and fun-loving which gets her into trouble when it’s time to race and she wants to socialize or goof off. Used for show jumping, cross country, and barrel racing [*morningglory*]

Yeah now that I think about it we should do last names. I wasn't with mine, but I do think that's best. Let's take a vote. Last names or no??? I vote yes.

Post by *MorningGlory* on Apr 26, 2017 9:20:39 GMT -5
Oh I thought you had used last names lol. Um I don't know I think last names are cool to use because it brings more to the character. So I vote yes

Yeah I'm so used to not doing it, but I do like the idea of it, I think it will be good. I'm just horrible at coming up with last names XD You'd think I'd be good at it because I'm a recruiter and meet so many different people all the time and different last names, but no x3

Gingy are your male horses all geldings?

With Liam- this is kind of hard to explain, but both steer wrestling and roping are subdivisions or specialization of one division. Which is fine he can do both, but technically his secondary discipline would be Stock (in which he only competes in steer wrestling and roping) and then he would just need an elective, if that makes sense.
With private horses, they don't have to be able to compete in every disciple their rider does. There are academy horses the students also use especially the scholarshipers. Sometimes they may be able to do all three, but in the case of something like reining and dressage it's almost impossible though not always. Reining used a type of riding known as 'neck reining' whereas dressage does not, and it is very rare for a horse to be able to respond to both kinds of cues. They're very different. Not impossible but...well, I haven't met a horse that can do it yet. I tried teaching one of my mares to neck rein for fun and she ended up getting so angry she bucked me off visciously xD the proceeded to kick me like the rotten witch she was xD lol I loved that horse would have bought her if her owners weren't bitches lol

Just think of it like this- most horses can't cross the western-English line back and forth. They can be retrained once, and that's about it. Now, some western disciplines don't actually require neck reining, but that is the exception, not the rule. Anytime you see professional riders that use one hand for the reins, it's neck reining though.

Behind the name has a great last name generator I use
Liam can do stock and I'll pick something else for him for his elective
I know they can't cross but I thought that with dressage being similar to reigning it would be good for her to try as an elective.

I forgot to put the gelding thing on the forms I'm sorry. For some reason I forgot stallions and geldings were different things. I feel stupid lol.
Um I want Zeus to be a stallion but the others can be geldings

Yeah riders can do it any day of the week, no problem. I know how to neck rein too. It's just that horses can't. They rarely can understand how to respond to both commands. It's weird. Riders are fine, though.

Don't be sorry and you're not stupid! That sounds great! ^.^
The only other thing is your mustang. Technically, most 'white' horses you see are gray. They are only actually 'white' when they have pink skin. Which...I mean, it really never happens. 99% of the time a white horse is actually gray. And a mustang actually doesn't have the genes to be white, only gray. Some breeds have the genetics to pop up white, but not mustangs. It's not an albino thing, the most similar thing horses have to albinism is lethal white syndrome, which is death for a foal. I think the longest any foal has ever lived with it was three days, and it was suffering, poor thing.

What do you want Gloria's secondary to be? Cross Country isn't an option, it's only a division of Eventing. And what would you like Liam's elective to be? Sorry for so many questions, I'm really just going one at a time as I add them to the main page.

Quarter Horse's can't be registered as paint (stupid but that's the case, as Quarter Horses can be and often are born paint) so I'll mark Tango as an American Paint- most American Paint's are technically Quarter Horses. If you would like me to go in depth, I can explain better.
Man I REALLY should have just looked at each form and wrote these all down at once. I am SO sorry. I was just doing one at a time which now I realize is a bad idea! If you would like me to write it all down in one post I can!
