[Boomerandhades]

No problemo totally understand

[Boomerandhades]

Full Name: Nathan Pierce
Nickname: Nate
Age: 21
Gender: Male.
Pronouns: He/Him/His.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Nationality: English (British).
Discipline: Jumping
Appearance: Nathan has dark brown, short hair that is usually well-kept, and deep, blue eyes. He stands at 6'2", and has a somewhat muscular build.

Personality: Nathan is a very happy and kind person. Having his trust broken several times in the past has caused him to be extremely unwilling to put his trust in anyone new. he sets his sights on what he wants, and won't let anyone get in his way, or help him. He's certain that everyone else is only out for themselves, and therefore, he is as well.

Short Bio: He grew up in a middle-class family, having just a little more than enough money to live comfortably. At the age of 10, Nate started taking riding lessons, and quickly developed a love for horses. He also became attached to Junping as a discipline, loving the patience and work required, especially for the results and skills it gave him. He also took part in some cross country work, but he doesn't compete in that area - jumping is his main discipline.
He was given Dash, a beautiful TB mare, for his 16th birthday, and he broke her in for riding at the age of 18. He had to take a break from riding Bellona for about a year, because of an accident he had, and he helped work with other people's horses for them when they needed it instead. He fully healed and was clear for riding. It was great, now he has been training and is ready for the big event.

Relationship: Single, no crush.
Other: N/A.

show name ;; Dash Of Class
barn name ;; Dash
gender ;; mare
age ;; 13 years
breed ;; thoroughbred
height ;; 16.2 hh
coat color ;; Grey
markings ;; 2 back socks

personality ;; she's punctual and dynamic. Of course she's also empathetic, reliable and caring, but they're far less prominent, especially compared to impulses of being unstable as well.
Her punctuality though, this is what she's often adored for. Nathan tends to count on this and her protective nature in times of need. Her disloyalty and pretentiousness can cause things to heat up, though more on a personal level than for others.
history ;; Dash was born at an old farm. they had no use for her and they sold her to a man that wasn't gonna use her for good. she then was sold to an auction. at the auction Nathans parents found her, and they absolutely fell in love. with love and work she is becoming amazing.

@Boomer: Added in - Join in however you'd like!

let me know if I should move someone.

There's the top right side open, and the bottom left side open. I've kept the stallions pretty much isolated as best as possible.

I won't be able to post for about a week due to a work commitment but I should be more active after that

Hey all,
I hope life is treating you well. It's been absolutely upside down bonkers for me with daily migraines.

I was wondering if we'd all have a bit more muse if there was a stricter plot line/current 'prompt' of sorts to help us stay the course?
It's supposed to be the 'day before a show' mindset - to help the characters prepare and engage; but maybe a switch to the actual show day would be a bit more constructive than a total free-for-all.
Potentially my brain is also interested in scrapping the current idea and go for a totally new avenue - like another equestrian experience of some sort. Spin the Wheel of Equestrian Experiences
I'm also craving cross country jump schooling, foxhunting/hunter derby/sidesaddle adventures. I wouldn't mind engaging in some cattle activities (ranch round up?) Or perhaps an effective group jumping experience.

Anyways - let me know what your thoughts are.

Also - Boomer, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but your character reacted drastically different to a simple word miscommunication lol - Ady asked Kat what discipline she rode not if she wanted to ride - haha, oh well.

[Boomerandhades]

Oof I’m sorry. And I will fix that.

[heffalumps]

I'd be interested in it being the say of the show, or even making a more relaxed 'average' equestrian type roleplay? Even if we Incorporated that idea of mixing up some new adventurers, perhaps we could still use the idea of showing and rivalry but push it further down the track. Even if we make it so that the riders are expected to 'bond' through new experiences before they are allowed to compete, since the owners have had enough with the fighting, they have scrapped the teams competing until they can learn to atleast tolerate each other?

[Boomerandhades]

im cool with anything, just like the fact that I have a roleplay that wont completely die!
