"I can't do this!"she screamed through the falling snow. Her hands were frozen from the cold, but her teeth chattered from the fear.

"Yes you can! Now, get that animal over the jump!"he screamed at her. He pointed his crop at the six-foot oxer her horse had refused five times. They couldn't do it. It was the middle of the night and she was tired. Her horse was literally steaming because he was so hot.

"I said get!"he screamed again, slapping her with the riding crop. With frozen tears in her eyes, she rode for the jump again. She begged her horse to leap over it, but he didn't listen. She went over the jump instead. When she hit the ground, she left, leaving her shell, a broken horse, and a father standing in the fallen snow.

.:Welcome:.

Welcome to Ravenwood Riding Academy located in the Russian country-side. Young riders come from all over the world to train with champion rider Ludvig Ivanov. It is a rigorous training program and few complete it, but those who do become riders fit for the Olympics and beyond.

As a student of this fine academy, you will have access to all of the facilities, such as the round pen, indoor and outdoor riding rings, stables, and numerous riding trails. A horse will be assigned to you. You care for and train with this horse and only this horse. You will be expected to arrive at lessons on time and do whatever Mr. Ivanov commands you to do. If all goes well, you will be a better rider than you were when you first arrived.

Now, for a word of warning. Ravenwood hides a dark secret. It is so dark that it makes the hallways run cold and hay go bad. Horses have been known to fall into fits of terror for no apparent reason. And on silent, winter nights, ownerless hoof prints can be found in the snow. Watch your back, because it is guaranteed that nothing is as it seems.

.:Form:.

Username: Beautiful Monster
Name: Allison Swiftwind
Age:17
Gender: girl
History:Allison was raised like a cowgirl. She would wake up very early every morning to milk cows and get the eggs. She lived for a long time on her ranch and then her father died. After that her mother wasn't the same. She was tired all the time and did little else but sleep. Then one day she told the kids that they were selling the ranch. A few months later the ranch was sold and they were living in a little house in the city. Her mother allowed each of her children to pick the academy they wanted to go to. This was the one Allison choose. So with the money that was left from her father and the ranch selling Allison came to fill out her dream to be a champion jumper.
Nationality:America
Riding Strength: She loves to jump. Even when she was on her ranch she would practice jumping over things. So her strength is that.
Riding Weakness: She has a hard time using the whip. She just doesn't think its right. Most of the time that leads to the horse not moving though. She needs to learn to use the whip the correct way so that she gets a horse to go without hurting it.
Horse:(Don't pt anything here yet.)
Other: Anastasia Also due to a person insulting me in a semi-lit rp on my writing I have been avoiding semi-lit rp's. Since it was a personal invite I have decided to try semi-lit again. I think I can pull off Semi-lit and often try my best to rp semi-lit in my non semi-lit rps. So ya that's my little pre-warning I haven't rped in a semi-lit for a few months.
