1x1 equestrian RP between kotalicious and myself.

Stanwood Academy is a prestigious riding school nestled in the hills of Kentucky. Scouts scour the country in search of Stanwood's next "it" riders, young adults with great skill and potential. Those lucky enough to be chosen participate in advanced riding courses and competitions. Some students get a bit... competitive, but for most, the experience at Stanwood is all they really came for.

Name • James Lotky
Age • 23
Gender • ♂
Sexual Orientation • Heterosexual
Discipline • Cross Country
Place of Origin • Pacific Northwest
Appearance • James is pretty easily recognizable. Between his shaggy bedhead and piercing blue-green eyes, his face is a hard one to forget.
He has a tendency to sport a bit of scruff (he doesn't really want a full-on beard, but can't be bothered to shave constantly either).
Personality • Paranoid, James has no issues being supportive to others but when it comes to himself, he has little to no faith. He is afraid of hurting others, so he tends to keep to himself.
History • Born to an alcoholic father, James started out looking for any way to "escape." He found riding when he was about 14, courtesy of his best friend and neighbor, Finn. Finn was in a riding accident a few years back, and James blames himself for not being there to help. Finn can no longer ride, so James named his horse after him so that a part of him was still able to.
His Horse • Finnegan

Cataleya took in a deep breath as her dark blue truck pulled up to Stanwood academy. She had always dreamed of coming here, but had never thought she actually would. Once she had found a parking spot she jumped from her truck and grabbed her bags. Her horse had already been brought here the night before so she'd have to go check on him after she found her room. She walked quickly towards the building that held the dorms. Her key had been mailed to her the week before so she had no need to stop anywhere else.

After successfully locating her dorm and dropping off her things Cataleya left in search of the barn and her horse. A few of the other people there smiled and waved at her as she walked by. Others didnt seem so friendly. One even whispered to their friend about how she looked like a terrible rider. She didnt let it get to her though. This sort of thing happened all the time in the sport. There was always that snob that was only there because of daddy's money.

(Sorry this is such a terrible post. I just wanted to get this started.)

James stared blankly ahead as he drove down the long, winding driveway that led to the academy. Part of him wanted to look around and take in all of the beauty, but the other part of him wasn't even sure that he wanted to be there. It's a silly thought really, every equestrian in their right mind would have loved to be scouted for this place. But for him, it wasn't so much the fact that he got in, but the fact that his friend, Finn, did not. And never would.
He let out a long breath, becoming aware that he had been holding it since his rumbling farm truck drove through the metal gates that marked the front of the property. After finding a parking space, he hopped out of his rusty blue truck and stretched his legs. One hell of a drive, that's for sure. He loaded all of his bags onto his shoulders, looking somewhat like a human Christmas tree as he headed towards the dorms. He was in room 14B, according to the little tag attached to his dorm keys. After locating the room and tossing his bags onto his new bed, he decided that he should head down and see if he could find Finnegan. His uncle had been so proud of his nephew getting into the academy that he had Finnegan driven out straight away.
James ran his fingers through his hair, pushing it back and away from his face before he locked up his room and headed down towards the barn. The dorms seemed surprisingly busy and James wondered if there was a large influx of new students, or if most of the people he was seeing were upperclassmen. Either way, James was wary about getting too involved with anyone. Environments like this were breeding grounds for manipulators.

(I hope this is okay, I needed to write something and get my brain off all of this algebra I've been doing ughhhh)

It didn't take Cataleya long to find her horse, A bright smile lighting up her face when she did. "Stormy!" She called out as she climbed the fence to get into the pasture. She jogged through the field, Stormy running towards her as well. She laughed softly as she flung her arms around his large neck. "Oh I missed you buddy." She said, taking a step back. "I brought you something special." Cat reached into her pocket and pulled out a peppermint. She always had some with her when she was going to be with Stormy. It was his favorite treat.

(Sorry this took me so long. Also I'm on my phone and its about to die. That's why this is so short)

As James headed down the cobblestone path to the barn, he began to feel better and better. He could smell the hay and the horses, and he had always loved that smell. He leaned against the pasture fence as he searched for Finnegan, finding him quickly. He grinned and put his fingers to his mouth, whistling for him. Finnegan immediately lifted his head from grazing and trotted towards him, nickering happily. James hopped over the fence and started scratching behind Finnegan's ears, his favorite spot. It was then that he noticed that he wasn't the only one having a reunion with his best friend. There were a couple others in the pasture who must have arrived close to the time he had.
He kissed Finnegan on his soft muzzle and started speaking to him softly and reassuringly (mostly for his own sake). It was the longest the two had been apart and it was hard on both of them.

(No worries, I'm not gonna rush you or anything, we all have stuff that comes up sometimes! Like me stomach has been killing me the last few days because of all the stress at work (: )
