About There aren't any stable rps on the forums, which is disappointing! So here is a really simple, not-fancy one. This rp is realistic (so no powers or anything), and will be focused on the drama in the lives of the riders at Redwood Stables, as well as their horses. I hope it'll be fun!
Rules Be active Follow forum rules Keep gender ratio more-or-less even No powers or special abilities for humans or horses Keep it PG- nothing more than kissing You must create a horse when you create a rider Feel free to suggest staff positions or locations at the stables or in town A few cats and dogs are allowed!
Stables Redwood Stables is a club and riding school located in the northwestern United States. The stables feature the "House", an actual house with a porch, living room, kitchen, rec room, offices, and a loft. Riders can hang out at the House whenever they want, and even occasionally have movie nights and sleepovers. The "Barn" houses the horse stalls, tack room, hay loft, and office loft. Besides those two main buildings, there are paddocks and yards as well as many trails.
Town Most of the riders at Redwood Stables hail from in and around the town. The main attractions are the Off Main Diner, Lamppost Coffee Shop, and Nikki's Pizza. Besides those, there are other shops and restaurants on Main Street. Many riders attend the local high school and live in town- as its a small town, wealthier riders are often away at private schools during the school year.
Joining Characters can be any age from 12 up, though only staff members should be 20+. If you make a rider, please make a horse as well- horses can be owned by riders or by the stables, and riders can also rent horses. (NOTE: The current staff positions are currently filled, so no more staff unless we open new positions!)

Staff Owner -- Brenton Connelly Vet -- Lily Woodley, Trevor Gilligan Stable hands -- Jay Gonzales, Tori Addix, Alena, Oliver Instructors -- Brenton Connelly, Ara Rosencash, Salena, Tobias O'Conner, Gabby Wasserman Horse Trainer -- Jackson Grey
Characters -- Humans
Brenton Connelly // Male // 27 // Owner/Instructor // Hard Luck Brenton is tan with wavy blonde hair that he usually crops short, though it does occasionally get long and unruly. He's got brown eyes and faint freckles from the sunlight. Brenton is responsible and serious about running the stables, though he is easy-going and friendly with the riders. At only twenty-seven, he seems fairly young to be owning and managing Redwood by himself. However, his parents- the original owners- recently retired, so he's been running the place for a year now. He lives nearby on the property. He's been an instructor for nine years. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Jay Gonzales // Male // 18 // Rider/Stable hand // Ranger Jay is tall, with brown skin and long black hair. His hair is curly- extremely so- and reaches just past his shoulders. He's got a long, angular face and dark brown eyes. Jay is extremely good with horses- even better so than Brenton, probably because he is calm and serious. He works part-time at the Off Main Diner to pay for the boarding of his horse, in addition to working as a stable hand to pay off what he can't afford. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Louisa Thwaites // Female // 16 // Rider // Dancer Louisa, sometimes called Lou, Lulu, or even Louis by her friends, is 5'3" with pale white skin and dark brown, nearly black hair. She usually wears her hair pulled back away from her face. She's been riding at Redwood for about a year now, on a rented school horse. Before coming to the stables she had never ridden before, so she doesn't have as much experience as most other riders. However, she loves horseback riding and can't imagine her life before Redwood. Her family can't afford to buy a horse, but after learning to ride on Dancer, Louisa knew that they were perfect for each other. She enjoys jumping and cross country the best, and loves to spend afternoons on the trails. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Victoria "Tori" Addix // Female // 18 // Rider/stable hand// Domino Tori is a petite girl- 5'2" if she is standing up straight and barely 120 soaking wet. She has short black hair, currently in a pixie cut that was formerly long enough to reach her waist, that is white at the tips. She has tanned, olive colored skin with dark blue eyes and freckles that dot her face. She has a tattoo on her right wrist that says "hope is stronger than fear" but is usually covered up by a simple watch when she has to be professional. She has a scar on her chest from heart surgery that she has just recovered from. She grew up at Redwood stables, always watching the horses, and once she was old enough she began her lessons there, practically living at the stables. Once she turned 16 she started working at the stables as well and saved up enough money and bought her horse, domino. She has a tri colored Australian shepherd named Jack who is practically a barn dog, with how much he's there. Jack is half blind, the year before when he was still a pup he spooked a horse and was kicked, luckily only leaving him half blind with a scar over her left eye, he's a lot More careful now around the horses. He is 2 years old. [ Sweetclover1 ]
Lilleanne 'Lily' Woodley // Female // 25 // Vet // Lily is tall, not as tall as she'd like to be, with bright red hair that complements her pale skin, even though she's always outside, and has bright green eyes that she tends to hide behind her reading glasses. She walks with a slight limp after a horse show gone wrong, ending her stellar riding career and stopping the scholarships coming her way. Instead, she stayed home and went to a local vet school and came back to the stables she grew up riding at. Still, she keeps positive and has a cheery attitude. Her love for animals nearly overpowers her love for her friends at Redwood Stables, but that doesn't stop her from the slight trepidation towards riding, only riding the calmer, older horses when the rest of the staff is in bed. She had to sell her horse to go to school after her father lost his job so she only has a cat, a little tabby named Tucker [ liz ]
Contessa Grey // Female // 17 // Rider // Navigator Contessa has long, raven-black hair that is naturally curly, and is worn down loose, and very messy, falling a few good inches past her shoulders. Her skin is a milky pale, lightly sun-kissed color, hinting at her Greek heritage on her mothers side, as do her sharp facial features. Her eyes are large and a pale green-gray color, while her nose is small and straight, and her lips on the pouty side. She stands at 5'2 1/2 and weighs 108 pounds. Contessa grew up on a ranch in the outskirts of the small town, her father and grandfather, and so on, had been horse breeders and owners for generations. They specialized in breeding Thoroughbreds and Quarter horses, and were considered one of the best in the area for a long time. Contessa attends private school during the school year, in the city an hour away from the town. She has only recently joined Redwood Stables for the summer, this being her first few months there. As far as personality goes, she is generally polite, though she is known for being a bit sassy, and hard to get along with because of her blunt, and sometimes rude attitude. She prefers to be on her own, seeing most others her age, who are also involved with horses, competition or rivals for the most part. Though she acts cold and a bit mean, she can be nice once she gets more comfortable with someone. [ ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]
Jackson Grey // Male // 25 // Horse Trainer // Sugarfoot (Sugar for short) Jackson has the same raven-black hair as is sister, that is typically worn either slicked back, or messy (think Zane Holtz/Richie Gecko), his eyes are a pale blue color. Standing at 6'1 he is about a little above average in height, and is built of lean muscle, rather than overly buff or big muscles. He has a on the back, base of his neck in Greek that says "Come and Take them" in small black Greek lettering. Jackson is known for his charming personality, and flirty, somewhat playboyish nature. He is much more social and easier to get along with his than his sister, and has been at Redwood for two years. He has a natural gift with horses and training them, he is known as somewhat of a "horse whisperer" and has a magic touch with them, especially the young ones he trains. [ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]
arabella 'ara' rosencash // female // twenty-four // instructor // jax miss arabelle rosencash is a dainty young lass with wavy golden locks that fall just below her shoulders and wide, icy blue eyes. her appearance is one of a stereotypical southern belle, well-behaved and caring. light freckles dance across the bridge of her nose and are sprinkled sparingly on her cheeks. in keeping with her appearance, ara is of mild manners, a soft-spoken but cheery thing who enjoys spending her free time with her horse jax. miss rosencash is an elementary school teacher but helps out as an instructor at the stables. [ scar ]
trevor gilligan // male // nineteen // veterinary intern // huey standing at a height of 6'1" trevor gilligan is a cheery, muscular lad. he has shaggy sandy colored hair that falls just above his eyes and deep green eyes. an amused, lopsided smirk sit upon his face most of the time, and a dimple appears on the left side of his face when a real smile graces his features. one would not peg this lad as a veterinary hopeful, but he exercises his love for animals as an intern under lily at the stables. overall, trevor is a confident, outgoing young lad who has a soft spot for horses.
Alena // female // 23 // Rider/stable hands // Ari Alena is a very out going, yet quiet young woman. She has a very optimistic and upbeat attitude about everything. She loves animals, and people alike, as long as they have a kind heart. Alena has been with horses all her life; it is part of her. She would do anything for the horses, aswell as their owners. Alena stands as a height of 5'4. She has light, wavy blonde hair, and icey blue eyes with flecks of purple in them. She has fair, and flawless skin aswell. She normal wears regular, stereo typical cowboy clothing, though she will sometimes branch out. [ Forestpaw ]
Salena // Female // 24 // Rider/instructor// Rain, though she sometimes uses school horses Salena has a very bold, and outgoing spirit. She is very energetic, and sometimes preppy. She loves to be in charge, and adds organization and spice to whatever she is doing. She loves to have loved ones, and friends around her twenty four seven, and she's always open for more friends. She'll talk to just about anyone, friend or foe. Though, sometimes she can come off as a tad bit annoying. Salena stands at a height of 5,5. She has Tangshan skin, but still fare. Selina also has dark, chocolate brown hair that has gentle waves in them. She has light Hazel eyes with flecks of blue in them. Salena normally wears blues and grays. She normally likes to wear tank tops and jeans, with the addition of a cowboy hat. [ Forestpaw ]
Oliver // Male // 25 // staff hands // uses school horses for now he stands at the height of 5'9. He has shaggy hair with glasses. He has fare skin, and dark chocolate brown eyes. He seems like the last person you would think to see riding, or at least trying to ride a horse. It's true, he didn't start as a rider. In fact, he has just recently moved from the city, and was signed up to take lessons to pass the time. But to be honest, he'd much rather be riding hat the stable than staying home with his dad. Oliver is stubborn, and sarcastic. He see,s to have no filter when it comes to conversation. But, he's learning both how to ride, and how to be a better person at the same time. [ Forestpaw ]
Tobias O’Conner // Male // 24 // Instructor // Seraphina Tobias is about 6’2”, and is leanly built from many years of riding. He has blue eyes and wavy black hair that he keeps just long enough to see the wave to his locks. Tobias is generally a serious individual, though he seems to let loose and relax at the stables. He is very passionate about horses and riding, though he is very competitive, which tends to result in him getting frustrated easily (even despite him knowing better than to get frustrated with horses). As an instructor, he teaches the more advanced students, typically in the cross country, dressage, or jumper disciplines. He is strict though not harsh, as he wishes for all his students to do well and have fun while riding. He has been riding since he could walk, and often competes in show jumping and dressage and occasionally cross country recreationally. [ torr ]
Cordelia Faulkner // Female // 19 // Rider // Norman Cordelia has stormy grey eyes, fair skin, and medium length hair that reaches just past her shoulders. She stands approximately 5'7" tall. Her wavy light brown hair is often pulled away from her face in a simple ponytail for convenience. To describe Cordelia in one word: meek. She avoids conflict and confrontation at all costs, and has trouble standing up for herself, much to her dismay. However, she is hardworking individual who loves to try and learn new things. Cordelia’s biggest strength, and perhaps weakness, is empathy. Altruistic to a fault, she puts others’ needs first even at her own expense. She is often the one her close ones vent to and confide in, while she herself has trouble opening up to others. She has only recently started taking lessons at the stable, and is still very green in the horse world. [ torr ]
Gabrielle 'Gabby' Wasserman // Female // 45 // Instructor // Old Frosty Gabby may be on the older side, but that doesn't exactly stop her. For an older lady, she's in excellent shape, with a lean and muscular build from years of riding. She stands at a height of 5'5", with long brown hair that she keeps in a ponytail and deep blue eyes. A friendly, kind woman, Gabby is open and trusting of everyone, and has a deep rooted stubbornness within her that keeps her going. She's also pretty wise , and given her age, she has plenty of stories to tell, from how she came across her horse to gossip about when Brenton himself was a student, just learning to ride. She isn't married and doesn't have any kids of her own; instead, she likes to think of the riders as her children. [Aviva]
Amelia Thorne // Female // 18 // Rider // Tarkin Born and raised in England Amelia has an air of nobility in her features, high well defined cheekbones and porcelain pale skin. Her stormy eyes seem to shift between dark grey to green depending on her mood and are often made darker by her mass of curly, sable black hair. She is very petite but has a flatteringly feminine figure and an attitude that often makes people believe she is older than her 18 years. She is always dressed neatly and carries herself with an effortless grace that makes people see her as aloof. She can seem snobby because of her nice clothes and fancy horse but is actually incredibly down to earth if someone was to take the time to get to know her. Because she only moved to the US recently she doesn’t have any friends and spends almost all her time working with her horse. [ Kurai]
AnnMarie Marlin // Female // 18 // Rider // Summer AnnMarie is a petite, lean-bodied girl, standing around 5’4”. She has long, dirty blonde hair that nearly touches her waist. Along with her bright green eyes, she’s very shy and quiet. She just moved to the town Redwood Stables is surrounded by, and needed a place to board her horse. Being new in town has left her severely reserved. With it being her last year in high school, she’s hoping to make new friends at Redwood Stables and the high school near by. She’s known to be very different while riding horses. Not only does she seem outgoing, but she is completely stress free. In Arizona, the state she used to live in beforehand, AnnMarie bought her own horse as a yearling, and raised and trained the mare. Five years going strong, AnnMarie loved the horse more than her own family. If she isn’t at school, she’s at the barn, sometimes till curfew. AnnMarie can be very rambunctious with the right people/horses, but it takes a while to break down her walls. [ haylizzle ]
Jenson Bell // Male // 17 // Rider // Splash He is a 6’3 young man. He is tan with an athletic build and light brown hair with bangs that, when straightened, falls in front of his eyes, but he normally has his bangs swept to the side. He also has brown eyes that can turn hazel if he is really happy. He normally is found wearing ripped up jeans, a band t-shirt, and a snapback over his shaggy hair. He is really laid back and chill. He doesn’t really get stressed or worked up that much. He is quite the adventurer and loves to explore new trails or places. He is easily excitable and can get loud really easy. He loves to joke around, and he is rarely serious.
Chloe "Chlo" Greymark // Female//16 // Rider// Fate Cho is has just turned 16 and stands at just under 5''6 with a slender willowy build with curves to it, Her blonde hair normally hangs loose in waves but when she is forced to tie it up she will typically braid it into something which is as complicated as you can get. Chloe has green eyes which accentuate the rest of her face with it's high cheekbones and perfectly proportioned lips. On her right temple she has a scar from when as a child she was kicked in the head by a horse at her old stables she was knocked unconscious and rushed to hospital but even then she refused to quit and she received her first horse a year later for her 9th birthday, Nowadays she rides Fate who her parents bought for her 6 months ago as an early present for her 16th. Chloe is also English and her british accent is one of the first thing that people notice about her and whilst Chloe hated it when she first moved now se likes it as she thinks it makes her sound exotic. (this only applies if the roleplay is set anywhere other than england)Chloe is very rebellious and whilst she loves actually riding and spending time with both Fate and her old horse Storm she hates to do any of the cleaning and will often bunk of boring meetings she doesn't view that she needs to attend to. Chloe also delights in causing trouble in lessons and hacks and her favourite way of doing this is by flirting with the instructors and the only reason she hasn't been kicked out is because she's one of the best show jumpers in the stable. Chloe isn't currently in a relationship as she recently dumped a footballer she goes to school with but as her best friend once said would flirt with anyone male with a pulse. Chloe disagrees saying she'd flirt with anyone male with or without a pulse. [ Ashrain ]

Characters -- Horses
Hard Luck // Gelding // Brenton Connelly Luck is a palomino mustang with dark eyes. He was raised by Brenton at Redwood. Luck isn't aggressive- he's often ridden by students- but he does have an extreme attitude. Students will find that he tends to do what he wants, and only respects Brenton (and even then, he's got sass). Luck's a good jumper and can often be seen practicing the barrels with Brenton, but his real passion is galloping through open fields. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Ranger // Mare // Jay Gonzales Ranger is, predictably, a Colorado Ranger horse. She's a dark bay with a spotted white blanket. Ranger is loyal and a hard-worker, and very well-behaved. She belongs to Jay and is being boarded at Redwood Stables. With Jay she does barrel racing, calf roping (formerly), and jumping. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Dancer // Gelding // Louisa Thwaites Dancer is a handsome black morgan with a white blaze and white socks. He is intelligent and amiable, but also a jokester. Brenton bought him as a school horse right after he inherited the stables, and Louisa learned to ride on him. Now she's renting him until she can somehow buy him. [ ❅- - 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓰𝓵𝓸𝓫𝓮 ]
Domino // gelding // Tori Domino is a painted, his coat primarily a palish brown color with white splashed onto him. He's a good natured horse, although incredibly stubborn, the only human he listens to is Tori. With Tori he executes any command given, for the most part at least. He can get a bit sassy. [ Sweetclover ]
Navigator (Gator for short) // Stallion // Contessa Grey Gator is a purebred Thoroughbred horse, standing at 16.5 hands high, which is on the taller side for his breed. His coat is a pure shiny black, with his mane and tail to match. His mane is cut very short, so it sticks up from his neck in a neatly cut fashion, though he does have bangs that fall on his forehead, covering the white diamond there. Navigator is typically a bit difficult to deal with, and is very spirited, and hard to train due to his stubborn and independent nature. Though all of this is classic for his breed, being classified as a "hot-blood," being energetic and difficult is part of his nature. He is weary of strangers, and typically unfriendly to them, and is known to bite and kick at times, if not watched closely. Though if given enough special treats, he might warm up to a person. He is barely 2 years old, and is a hot up and coming race horse prodigy. He was Contessa's 16th birthday present from her father. [ ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]
jax // gelding // arabelle rosencash jax is a grulla tennessee walking horse with an easy temperament. much like his owner, he is a calm and patient creature and is often used with beginning riders. although he is of mild disposition, jax startles easily and can be rather hesitant at times. [ scar ]
huey // gelding // trevor gilligan huey is a young spotted saddle horse with quite the fiery spirit. he doesn't take well to inactivity and seems to prefer being active regardless of the terrain or weather. the gelding a spunky creature with a bit of an attitude that even trevor sometimes can't handle. [ scar ]
Ari // Stallion // Alena he's a very grumpy, and tough male horse. He has a short patients, and has a temper. He may seem like the last type of horse you'd want to ride, but sense Ari was born, Alena was by his side. He and her have a special connection, and she's the only one he really opens up to, and gets soft on. So, really on the inside he's just a big softy. Ari is a giant Brabant Draft horse with a dark brown pelt, and lighter brown, short mane. He has a beautiful mane which is tied tightly into work braids. He's a very muscular horse as well, clearly built to pull large items such as barrels and wagons. Though he could also be used for training and show businesses. He has an overall 'tough' look to him aswell, though he can look like a big cutie when he wants to.
Rain // Mare // Salena. Though she sometimes is used for school Rain is a smallish, grey Marwari horse with darker grey, and white splotches spread through her body. Rain also has a dark grey mane, tail, snout, and bottom legs. Her figure is completed with ice blue eyes. Salena is the polar opposite of Salena. She timid and shy most of the time. She is very outgoing though, and loves kids, most females. Males do scare her though. Salena loves to run and play with most of the students she gets, though she loves her time to be mostly spent with Salena one on one. [ Forestpaw ]
Skyfire // Mare // will be for school after she foals Skyfire is a medium sized, dark orangish red female, Marwari horse with a darker red mane. Her pelt fades from lighter toned skin, to a darker brown toned skin. Skyfire is expecting, and soon! The medics only expect one foal, despite her larger than normal stomach. Skyfire is a witty, yet motherly, and kind female. She is playful and curious, aswell as loving and caring. She's the perfect mix. But, what makes her a goof horse, is her experience and strength while working with learning students. She has a strong heart, and powerful mind, these traits they wanted to pass down. So they did [ Forestpaw ]
Seraphina // Mare // Tobias O’Conner Seraphina stands at 17’2hh even. She is a flashy dark bay KWPN mare with four white stockings and a blaze. She has a long full tail and her mane is cut short for easy braiding. She is a very easy-going mare, well broke, not spooky. A straightforward ride though she requires a rider with a strong seat and gentle hands. Although she is easygoing on the flat, she needs an experienced rider when jumping. Personality wise, she’s more independent and doesn’t bond easily. [ torr ]
Norman // Gelding // School A bit taller than the breed standard, Norman stands approximately 15’2hh. He is a Norwegian Fjord owned by the stables. He is the typical dun colouring of the breed, with a white and black streaked mane cut short and upright. Norman is a very laid back, easy-going horse. He is definitely a beginner horse and a packer, about as bombproof as you can get, though he is a bit lazy and takes a rider with a strong leg (or a crop). [ torr ]
Sugarfoot // Mare // Jackson Grey Sugar is a 5 year old Palomino colored Morgan Horse, a soft dusky gold color, with white "stockings" on all four of her legs, and a white blaze down her nose. She stands at 14.2 hands tall, with a white mane and tail. She is very easy going and friendly, and is often used for the younger students and beginners, even though she is Jacksons personal horse. [ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]
Old Frosty// Stallion // Gabby Wasserman It's impossible to know Frosty's breed for sure, as he was born wild rather than in a barn, and Gabby would rather not speculate. He's a beautiful horse, with a pure white coat, mane, and tail, though at nearly twenty years, he's rather old. His story is rather legendary-- according to Gabby, she found him when he was just a few days old, the very day she was hired to the stables. His mother was nowhere to be found, so Gabby took him in and raised him herself. Officially, he belongs to the stables, but he and Gabby have such a close bond that nobody really doubts that he belongs to her. Well mannered and mellow, he's the perfect horse for a first-time rider, though he's not the fastest or the best jumper. [Aviva]
Tarkin // Stallion // Amelia Thorne Tarkin has always been a stand out horse. The dappled grey four year old was bought as an eventing prospect for his rider Amelia and has shown to have heaps of potential. Standing at 16.3 he dwarfs his short statured rider, and his large well defined head is set with expressive deep brown eyes. His coat is a steely dappled grey, darker around his face and lower legs although he will likely fade to almost white as he ages. Still being a stallion he can be hot headed and feisty, but his rider seems to have no trouble working with him. His favourite disciplines are showjumping and cross country. [ Kurai ]
Summer // Mare // AnnMarie Marlin Summer is a chestnut Quarter Horse mare, red as can be. She was raised and trained by the one and only AnnMarie. She’s a sassy mare, with a lot of spirit, but most of the time she’s extremely well-behaved. As a six year old mare, she can sometimes be pretty unpredictable, especially with her huge move (Arizona to Redwood Stables). AnnMarie is currently using Summer to practice/compete in barrel racing, pole bending, calf roping, and reining. [ haylizzle ]
Splash // Mare // Jenson Bell She is a dappled grey, 16.0hh mustang. She has a black mane and a grey tail. She is a feisty thing, quite the opposite of her owner. She is stubborn and doesn’t normally listen to any human who isn’t her owner, Jenson. If any other human tries to get on her, she normally doesn’t move, or she bucks them off. Jenson is the only human she can tolerate, and when she’s with him, she is sweet and caring.
Fate // mare // Chloe Fate is a stunning light grey mare which boasts of a stellar pedigree with Olympic champions and such in her bloodline. She is a dutch warmblood but has some arabian blood which is reflected in her face shape. She is a fiery horse but under Chloe's guidance she is becoming more malleable and willing to do what she wants and the duo have already won some minor competitions. [ Ashrain ]
Storm // mare // Chloe Storm is a kindhearted mare which Chloe has had since she was nine. Storm is a black but in certain lights looks almost green and has a white stripe down her nose.Whilst Chloe doesn't ride Storm that much due to height difference and because she just got Faith Chloe refused to let her parents sell the mare and instead they rent her out to the stables to be used in lessons with other children as she is completely trustworthy under the condition that Chloe would help out with mucking out the stables but due to Chloe's bad behaviour the stables are considering terminating the contract. [Ashrain]

Lilleanne 'Lily' Woodley // Female // 25 // Vet // Lily is tall, not as tall as she'd like to be, with bright red hair that complements her pale skin, even though she's always outside, and has bright green eyes that she tends to hide behind her reading glasses. She walks with a slight limp after a horse show gone wrong, ending her stellar riding career and stopping the scholarships coming her way. Instead, she stayed home and went to a local vet school and came back to the stables she grew up riding at. Still, she keeps positive and has a cheery attitude. Her love for animals nearly overpowers her love for her friends at Redwood Stables, but that doesn't stop her from the slight trepidation towards riding, only riding the calmer, older horses when the rest of the staff is in bed. She had to sell her horse to go to school after her father lost his job so she only has a cat, a little tabby named Tucker

Lily sat curled upon her favorite seat on the porch of the House, Tucker purring softly as she gently pet the kitten and lazily sipped her tea, her eyes staring out at the Barn, no doubt reminiscing about the good old days. The Ranch was quiet this early, the sun having only risen a few minutes ago, making the normally busy Redwood Stables peaceful for once.

Tori peered out of the window of her familys jeep, running her hands over the wheel nervously as she studied the stables. She had been parked for ten minutes, but couldn't quite gather the courage to actually get out of the car. It had been six months since she has been at Redwood- six months since she had collapsed in Dominos stall and had to be rushed to the hospital- and she wasn't sure of the welcome she would have. These people where like her family, of course, but she still felt her nerves course through her as she looked over at Jack, who was squirming and whimpering, clearly wanting to get out and see all of the horses again. She reached over and rubbed the tri colored dogs ear affectionately, before taking a deep breath and opening the car door and jumping down out of the drivers side, Jack in toe. She glanced around, enjoying the peace and quiet, ready to see everyone again. Especially Domino, who Jay promised to take car of but she was still a bit unsure, Domino being a rather... Tough horse when it came to listening. She took a hesitant step forward, breathing in the smells, unsure if anyone would even recognize her.

Glancing up, Lily's eyes widened and she quickly set down her empty mug, Tucker sitting up and jumping off of the vet's lap. "Tuck, it's Tori!" Lily smiled and hurried down the stairs as quickly as she could, the small kitten returning to her seat. Coming to a stop behind the young girl, Lily smiled and said slowly in a teasing manner, "Well, well, well...look what the cat dragged in. Who would'a thought little ole Victoria Addix and her dog would return after months of no word."

Tori glanced up, eyes widening in surprise as Lily ran down to great her. She folded her arms, feigning a cocky manner, before responding, "Yeah, I thought I might have t' return sometime, make sure Domino hasn't destroyed the whole place," She said with a grin as Jack dashed past them, going to see a kitten she didn't quite recognize. "Jack, get back here!" She called out, the Australian Shephard stopping in his tracks and turning around to jump onto Lily, excited to see her again.

Brenton drove down the dirt road that led from his house to the Stables. Parking his truck in its usual spot next to the Barn, he saw Dr. Woodley and a girl out in front of the house. He waved as he hopped out of the truck and jogged over. "Morning, Lily," He said, smiling at the vet. "And is that Miss Victoria?" He said, grinning at the student. "We've missed you and Jack-" He paused to give the dog's head a good scratching. "Are you back for good? Jay's like magic with the horses, but Domino could use his true rider back."

Falling back, Lily laughed and pet the dog happily, her laughter growing as Jack licked at her. When Brenton came over, she quickly pushed herself up and brushed at the dirt on her jeans, giving him a smile and small wave before turning her attention to Tori. It has been quite a scare to find Tori collapsed on the ground, Lily had nearly gone into to shock but managed to call an ambulance and find Brenton. Tori reminded Lily of herself when she was her age, she had grown fond of the girl the moment hey met.

Human: Contessa Grey // Female // 18 // Rider // Navigator Contessa has long, raven-black hair that is naturally curly, and is worn down loose, and very messy, falling a few good inches past her shoulders. Her skin is a milky pale, lightly sun-kissed color, hinting at her Greek heritage on her mothers side, as do her sharp facial features. Her eyes are large and a pale green-gray color, while her nose is small and straight, and her lips on the pouty side. She stands at 5'2 1/2 and weighs 108 pounds. Contessa grew up on a ranch in the outskirts of the small town, her father and grandfather, and so on, had been horse breeders and owners for generations. They specialized in breeding Thoroughbreds and Quarter horses, and were considered one of the best in the area for a long time. Contessa attends private school during the school year, in the city an hour away from the town. She has only recently joined Redwood Stables for the summer, this being her first few months there. As far as personality goes, she is generally polite, though she is known for being a bit sassy, and hard to get along with because of her blunt, and sometimes rude attitude. She prefers to be on her own, seeing most others her age, who are also involved with horses, competition or rivals for the most part. Though she acts cold and a bit mean, she can be nice once she gets more comfortable with someone. [ ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]
Horse: Navigator (Gator for short) // Stallion // Contessa Grey Gator is a purebred Thoroughbred horse, standing at 16.5 hands high, which is on the taller side for his breed. His coat is a pure shiny black, with his mane and tail to match. His mane is cut very short, so it sticks up from his neck in a neatly cut fashion, though he does have bangs that fall on his forehead, covering the white diamond there. Navigator is typically a bit difficult to deal with, and is very spirited, and hard to train due to his stubborn and independent nature. Though all of this is classic for his breed, being classified as a "hot-blood," being energetic and difficult is part of his nature. He is weary of strangers, and typically unfriendly to them, and is known to bite and kick at times, if not watched closely. Though if given enough special treats, he might warm up to a person. He is barely 2 years old, and is a hot up and coming race horse prodigy. He was Contessa's 16th birthday present from her father. [ ʲᶤᵍˢᵃʷˢ ◦ ]

"Hey Brenton!" She responded cheerily, rubbing the back of her neck, remembering it was Lily who had found her that day... "Yeah, I'm back for good, don't worry. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon," She added, watching as Jack went onto his next victim: Brenton. "How is Domino? He wasn't being too stubborn, was he?" She asked, only half way joking. She swore that horse was part mule sometimes, and she hadn't seen him in six months, and she was ready to start riding again.

"Domino is just a sweetheart." Lily piped up, glancing towards the barns. "Stubborn like his rider, but a sweetheart. I think he missed you, he was getting sick of Jay, that's for sure." She joked. "But you're sure you're fine kiddo? Because I don't want you getting hurt or making things worse unless you're one hundred percent ready. And even then, I want you to take it slow; doctors orders."

She grinned, happy to hear the good news about her house, but the grin faltered when Lily asked her how she was doing. True, it had been over a month since she was released from the hospital, and true her doctor had said she could go back to the stables... But he also told her to go easy on herself, that they couldn't risk her overextending herself again because that would land her another stint in the hospital. Guess he must have called them here. She thought wryly, not realizing she needed a doctors note to still ride. "I... I am fine. I'm ready to come back, mom even made me wait a month to come here. I just can't work for 8 straight hours," She explained, patting Jack on the head, "And anyways, Jack here got trained to make me sit down if things get too tough. Little thing he learned over the last few months," She added hopefully as her pup plopped down next to her, panting happily. Its not like he didn't do that before- before her episode in the stall Jack had been trying to get her to sit down, nipping at her and barking, but she just ignored it. (I might disappear for a bit guys, I has to board a plan in like 20 mins and I have a 4 and a half hour flight but ill be on after that. I still have a while tho)

(OKAY!!)
Nodding, Lily smiled again and said, "Okay, but I think I ought to get a hug before you go ride off and disappear on me. With all the worrying you've put me through young lady, that's the least I deserve."

(your characters are accepted jigsaws, I'll put their forms up after I eat dinner)
Brenton bumped Lily with his fist. "Now don't you talk that way about Jay," He said, jokingly stern. "He's my horse whisperer, I need him around to keep these stables running," He laughed. "Domino will be thrilled to see you again, but Lily's right- take it slow for awhile." He crouched down to rub Jack's head. "Jay won't mind taking care of Domino if you're not up for everything."
The Jay in question was riding his bike from his house in town to the stables. He was trying to save up for a car, working extra time both at the stables and at the diner. He'd also been doing online college, but he was taking a break this summer to focus on work. Someone else might suggest selling Ranger if he really needed a car that badly, but to Jay, that wasn't even an option- luckily Brenton understood that and had given him work.

"It's fine Tori, I just know what it's like. Just promise me you'll play it safe for now, okay?" Lily whispered, hugging the girl tightly. "I was in the same boat as you five years ago and played my cards wrong. It doesn't have to be like that for you."

Laughing at Brenton, Lily exclaimed, "You know how much I love Jay! We're homies." Turning back to Tori she asked softly, "Is homies still a thing?"

Contessa had taken Navigator out for a run, the Stallion was always antsy and itching to go for a run, and the longer Contessa made him wait in the stables, the more bad-tempered and hard to deal with he got, so she tried to come by everyday to ride him...otherwise he would turn into the actual devil for the staff and get into all sorts of trouble with all of his pent up energy. Returning to the stables, she sat atop of the young horse, his black coat slick with sweat as his nostrils flared, his black tail swishing behind him contentedly as he picked his way down the path towards the Stables. Tessa could see the outline and shapes of the House and the Stables from where she sat, pulling up tightly on the reins to slow Gator down to a more even stride, trying to get him cooled off after their daily run. Grinning to herself, she patted the side of Gator's strong, muscled neck with a gloved hand, he was as fast and as strong as ever and she couldn't be prouder.
