[Metronome]

Name ➳
Yoska Petulengro

Age ➳
21

Gender ➳
Male

Nationality ➳
Romani

Occupation ➳
Stable hand

Personality ➳
Yoska is a quiet young man who would prefer spending time with animals rather than people. He's often kept to himself, and is happy to stand at a distance rather than socialize. That's not to say he isn't friendly if approached, just shy. He's come a long way in the past couple months. He'll let new people approach him, and he'll actually exchange words. His social skills have improved. However, he still harbors a fear of men, particularly those larger than himself.

Other ➳
His first language is Romani, and he has picked up several others in his travels.
Speaking German, Romanian, French, and English, he may be one of the most multilingual people at the barn. However, due to having almost no proper schooling, Yoska is almost completely illiterate. By this age, learning to read and write is difficult, and he's too ashamed to ask for help. He's afraid people will just think he's stupid.

Appearance ➳
Yoska is about 5'9", thin and a bit lanky, with dark olive skin, clearly a mutt. He's been working on gaining weight recently, overcoming a lifetime of living on scraps. His hair is curly and dark brown, usually messy and unkempt. Taking a brush to it is quite the feat. His eyes are dark brown. He usually always has a little hair on his face. Yoska can always been seen with his necklace on, the only thing he has left to remember his family by.

History ➳
Yoska was born to a Romani family that traveled around Europe. They were a very traditional bunch, using horses and wagons (along with cars) to travel from place to place. From a young age, the horses had captured Yoska's attention. He had always loved animals.

When Yoska was 10, his family crossed the border into Romania, where they were arrested and deported due to lack of passports and papers. In the chaos, however, Yoska, got separated from them and left behind. Alone, he became thin, sick, and was in constant fear of being hurt or robbed. The Romanian people didn't have a very kind view of gypsies. He survived by moving from town to town, begging on the streets.

When he was 15, Yoska was found and taken in by a farmer, who put him to work to earn food and a place to live. Yoska was never paid actual money, making the transaction illegal and slavery by definition. Yoska did everything from make home repairs to work in the fields, all the while favoring the barn animals over farmhands. Although his life had improved from begging for money on the street, Yoska still lived in fear. The farmhands weren't too kind to him, often making him do the work that they were supposed to do, calling him a 'filthy, lazy gypsy' all the while. If he ever tried to defend himself, he would be beaten or scared into submission.

It wasn't until Yoska was 20 that he was discovered by a Christian missionary couple, who took him away from the terrible conditions of the farm and brought him back with them to Canada. It took several months to get him the proper passports and paperwork together, all the while, he was too skittish to interact with just about anyone. Once he was in the clear to live in Canada, the church he was living at launched a search for a proper home.

The stable owner decided to give him a chance as a barn hand, as he was experienced with caring for animals. In fact, animals seemed to be the only thing that would coax him out of his shell. Yoska essentially lives at the stables, so that there's always someone around in case something happens in the middle of the night. He's made it clear that he loves and appreciates his job, but he hasn't quite gotten used to being treated properly. He still nervously lingers on the outside of any kind of event or gathering, and sticks to his barn chores rather than socialize.

Alex
═══════════════════

Name; Alexis Smith
Nickname; Alex
Age; 19
Gender; female
Sexuality; heterosexual
Height; 5’5
Weight; 110
Horses; Delilah and Artie
Discipline; Show jumping, a bit of western, and wants to event soon

Alex has always stuck to herself; not because she is shy; she just doesn’t like to put up with people. Yet there are some people she will get along with. Sometimes she can come off as rude but she doesn’t really know how to communicate any differently, so try not to let get to you.
Even as a child, Alex always had a things for horses. When she was 11, her grandmother leased her a pony named George. George made things better when she got to see him; her mother always yelled which made her have anxiety, and to this day she still has it. When people yell or get extremely, it makes her anxious. Maybe that’s why she prefers a book over anything.

Delilah
═══════════════════

Show name; Hey there Delilah
Barn name; Delilah
Age; 12
Gender; Mare
Breed; Kentucky mountain saddle horse
Height; 15.2hh
Owner; Alex
Dicispline; Western, mostly trail

Delilah is calm and gentle. She makes a great trail horse because she listens very well to commands and doesn’t spook easily. Yet she does enjoy time to herself or with other horses in a field.

═══════════════════
Artie
═══════════════════

Show name; Arts and Letters
Barn name; Artie
Age; 7
Gender; gelding
Breed; Canadian sport horse
Height; 16.1
Owner; Alex
Dicispline; Show jumping, working on dressage and cross country

Artie is more of a troublemaker, some days he likes to be naughty and not jump like he is supposed to. He likes to be pushy and rub his head against you to test your limits. But the days where he does cooperate, he is an
excellent jumper and has stunning ground work. (Hope this isn’t making him “perfect” I will change if needed)

[summerxstars]

Name: Matthew Elijah Jones
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10
Weight: 120

Riding Style: English, show jumping.
Horses: Frost & Diabolo
History: His family died in a car wreck when he was 18 making him eligible to live on his own. So, keeping his horses with hard work.
He had been a stable hand at times to keep the horses. Then, starting to compete in high jumpers whenever he'd trained his horses to compete at the high levels. And, slowly, he started to make a living off of winning competition. He'd also been in many jobs and has managed to pull through the rough times.
Other: N/A

Show Name: Frostbite
Barn Name: Frost
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Mare
Personality: At times the mare is sassy. But, she loves jumping with a whole heart. She has the most passion for the love of jumping and loves doing victory gallops. She's a fast, swift, and agile horse whom sometimes will save her rider. She shows she's a tad playful but, will never play during jumper competitions.
Breed: Hanoverian x Thoroughbred
Height: 17 hands
Color: Grey
Markings: N/A
History: She grew up at a show jumping barn until she was bought by Matthew. He's had the mare since she was three. She has always been polite and ready to go when she was introduced to jumping causing them to move up through the levels rather quickly. She's been very successful due to her owner's praise and positivity even when they didn't do well. But, when they started to win/do well the mare loved the feeling.
Other: Adores Matthew and if anyone is to ride her other than him it usually ends rather badly.

Show Name: Devilishly Dashing
Barn Name: Diabolo
Gender: Stallion
Age: 6 years
Personality: A very sweet and polite stallion. He acts more like a gelding and is very well behaved. He's silly and loves to show off. But, he can also be pushy and fast while jumping causing them to barely miss poles at times. But, in all are a great pair and do well.
Breed: Thoroughbred x Appendix
Height: 17.2 hands
Color: Chestnut

Has been owned by Matthew for about 3 months and will be starting to compete soon.
