rosa-linn was born and rais-
ed just outside of kotka, fi-
nland on a small farm with
her father and five elder br-
others. she was raised no
different from her brother's,
made to pull her own weight
from the moment she was
able to. she's no stranger to
a hard day's work, that's for
sure. when rosa-linn turned
eighteen, she moved away
from all she knew in hopes
of better opportunities. rosa
travelled around a lot befo-
re settling in australia at the
age of twenty. she's found a
part time job that keeps en-
ough money coming in to co-
ver both her and her horses
& that is good enough for her

with no other female in
sight to help raise rosa,
she grew up to be just
'another one of the bo-
ys'. rosa-linn is very
much a tomboy, not sc-
ared to get a little dir-
ty if the evening is rig-
t. now, rosa isn't the ty-
pe to hold that over a-
nother girl's head. no,
often rosa is actually

'

jealous of the girls who
are more connect with
their feminine side. ro-
sa struggles greatly co-
nnecting with 'softer'
people, often lashing
out cause she doesn't
know how to handle it
all. her go to reaction
to a lot of things deal-
ing with other people
is to push away, to lash

'

out and get them away
from her. it honestly
gives her a horrible re-
putation but rosa-linn
doesn't really have a
clue on how to change
that. she tends to be a
lot and that tends to
keep people away. it
really takes a special
person to want to get
to know rosa-linn.

rosa-linn is a bit of an adrenaline junkie. she will
do anything on a dare and some just because she
wants to. it's really what got her into trick riding.
more often than not, she is up to something stu-
pid and reckless. she can really be the 'life of the
party' at least so she had been told before.

bred to be a child's horse, bango was quickly
deemed anything but after throwing said child-
ren mulitple times. the mare was quickly pro-
claimed a 'problem horse' for her undeniable
temper and habit of thorwing riders and nipp-
ing at the other horses' around her, so she was
moved from owner to owner who thought they
could tame the mare. bought by rosa-linn after
hearing her story, rosa works hard to maintain
a delicate relationship with the mare. it was
rosa who trained her in barrel and liberty.

originally bred by the amish to be a simple wa-
gon horse, key showed appitude for much more.
his calm temper paired with his eagerness to pl-
ease, made him a great horse for competition.
key was oringially trained in dressage and drill.
key 'retired' from those events are the age of
nine, then sold to rosa-linn where she began
to train him in liberty and trick when he still
showed signed of interest in 'competition', rosa
couldn't not stop him from preforming since he
still enjoys it. key is still a very mellow horse.

lock was another horse bred just for pleasure
riding and wasn't expected to really show any
aptitude for competing in anything. it is true
that the gelding doesn't like competeing as m-
uch as he enjoys just preforming. lock loves to
show up and pulling a crowd, so it only made
sense for rosa-linn to also train the horse in
trick and liberty like her other horse, key. lock
is a very social gelding and doesn't do well left
alone for too long; a day at most before he is
trying to chew right out of his stall.

sawyer grew up on a farm, specifically a poultry and
corn farm where he was taught long, hard days wo-
rk and the importance of taking pride in your work.
so he was raised just outside of brisbine as the only
son in a family of four, and he was the middle child.
sawyer was only eighteen when he got into horses
and riding, twenty-three when he decided to have a
go at competeting with 'the big dogs' as he likes to
say. sawyer still often feels out of place amongst th-
ose in the barns, though he'd never admit to it.

┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ┓
sawyer appears to be a very confident
male, which wouldn't be to much of a
lie. sawyer is very secure in who he is
and what he stands for. he doesn't wi-
lt to just anyone. some call him stub-
born but he'd like to say otherwise.

sawyer does have that
typical 'country boy/
cowboy' air about him,
or to put into simpiler
terms; a one track m-
ind. which is kind of
true but sawyer does
have a lot more going
on in his mind than he
tends to let on.

''

sawyer is a secret ho-
peless romantic. he
loves the idea of find-
ing 'the one' and sett-
ling down. when saw-
yer likes someone, it
tends to be with his
entire heart. it sure
has been the cause of
a lot of heart breaks.

''

it shouldn't be hard to
see that sawyer is a
very loyal, protective
type of person. once
someone is in his life,
he has a hard time le-
tting them go, even if
they seriously hurt him.
it honestly more of a
bad thing than a good.

much of drysi's past is a mystery due to her
being baught at an auction and her pervious
owner not really willing to speak on the horse
other than drysi is a very problematic horse.
though since being bought by sawyer, she has
been anything but a problem, so it's unsure if
the original owner was speaking the truth or
not. that being said, drysi is a very sweet mare,
if anything overly playful. sawyer likes to say
the mare doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
she is an easy ride and loves to please her riders.

Training: Equitation - 3'9; Show Jumping up to 4'; Performance Hunter - 3'3 -3'6; Handy Hunter; Medal; Strong dressage foundation; Learning Side Saddle
Colors: Lavender, Silver, Black, White

Personality: Considerate and caring; Juliet loves to help others from offering advice on a handy round to setting up jump poles and cleaning tack. She loves to learn and loves to teach; helping with the pony clubbers or continuing her education through lectures and clinics. Juliet strives to make strides with her riding, her current mounts are wonderful partners to help her reach her goals as well as reach their potential. Her confidence when teaching or training her horses soars, but the moment she's faced with the show ring, her anxiety takes over. She hopes to take a more active competitive role while on the show team instead of just maintaining the behind-the-scenes management.
History: Before she was born, she was on a horse - something that hasn't stopped since; Juliet couldn’t imagine a life without horses. She loves early mornings, the smell of grain and fresh hay, and horse breath kisses. She’s put in the countless hours of colic watch and sleepless nights spent outside a sick horse’s stall. She’s seen the miracle of life with birth, and the ending of life with death. Horse blood is what runs thick in this girl’s veins and it’s never going to change. Juliet participated in the accelerated program during high school which allowed her to follow her horse dreams. During her gap year, she traveled to England for a working student program at an Eventing Barn. Coming back stateside she enrolled in university for a major in business management and a minor in equine science. She also participated in the school's equestrian team. Now Juliet is chasing her dream to work at an equestrian facility riding and instructing.



Show Name: Nexus Comet
Barn Name: Nautica
Gender: Gelding
Age: Nine
Breed: Canadian Warmblood

Coat Color: Dark Bay
Markings: Star, Irregular Stripe
Eye Color: Bittersweet Chocolate
Height: 15.3 HH

Discipline: Hunter & Equitation
Training: Jumps up to 3'9, foundation in lower level Dressage
Strengths: Handy, Agile, Scopey, Great Bascule, Smooth Cadence, Dexterous
Weaknesses: Attention Hog; Tendency to anticipate courses/patterns; Accident Prone
Likes: Attention, Affection, Treats, Grazing, Watching Everything/Everyone, Cats & Dogs, Good Riders, Pony Clubbers who give him hugs and cookies; Racing in the Fields
Dislikes: Bath Time, Pretends to hate Clippers, Stall Rest, Hind Wraps, Thermometers

Sire: Neptune Fortius
Dam: Semper Amare
Offspring: N/A

Stall: Five (Barn 1)
Turnout: Small Group
Owner: Juliet Adams

Personality: An absolute sweetheart, Nautica is a perfect (or at least he tries to be) gentleman; he has wonderful ground manners for everyone, standing quietly for the vet and farrier as well as any pony clubbers trying their skills out. Under saddle, his charm flourishes as he makes his way around the ring following his rider's cues (even when they aren't always perfect aww pony clubbers). He has a rather curious nature which has led to a few minor injuries - and given Juliet plenty of opportunities to work on first aid. He loves to be 'helpful' with whatever is going on he'll attempt to put on his own blankets, or help his buddies take theirs off; on the crossties he tries to help with grooming or tacking and loves to watch what everyone else is doing. He's the type of horse to throw his heart over any jump in his way, and will try his hardest to get to the other side safely.
History: Imported from a Canadian breeding farm, Nautica has had a decent life with an early start in ground training and sensitive trainers to encourage his talent. Started under saddle slowly between his third and fourth year, he was brought along with gentle steps to ensure his full potential wasn't ruined with rushed training and overworked joints. He was brought to Juliet's trainer as project horse with potential. Nautica very soon became her favorite ride as they excelled in training and practices together. His first show was an absolute delight for the pair - and she signed his sale papers soon afterwards making him officially hers.



Show Name: Calypso's Last Stand
Barn Name: Odyssey, Ody
Gender: Gelding
Age: Seven
Breed: British Warmblood

Coat Color: Bay
Markings: Star, Snip. Hind Socks
Eye Color: Chocolate
Height: 16.3 HH

Discipline: Jumper & Hunter
Training: Jumps up to 3'6, lower level dressage
Strengths: Bold, Honest, Scopey, Great Mover
Weaknesses: Celebratory Bucks, Easily Bored with Flatting, Young minded
Likes: Apples; Jumping; Grazing; Hacks; Shows; Attention
Dislikes: Being alone; Not getting attention; Stall rest

Sire: Chasing Titan
Dam: Juliette
Offspring: N/A

Stall Six (Barn 1) - Must have extra secure locks
Turnout: Small Group - Daytime Only
Owner: Juliet Adams

Personality: Ever the goofball, Ody lives up to his nickname. He's always getting into trouble - unlocking his stall door, getting his hoof stuck in a feed bin, attempting to take a bath in the water trough. He's often described as 'adorkable' referring to how adorably dorky he is. He doesn't have a bad bone in his large body just curious, spunky, and fun-loving almost to a fault. Ody loves attention from anyone. He's been known to do very silly things for treats. He's good with his ground manners - sometimes getting sidetracked by grass or butterflies when being led or tries to 'help' on the cross ties. Under saddle, his goofy nature can be seen in some of his antics - celebratory bucks when he first starts jumping; prancing when working on the flat. His athletic ability shines with his great scope and arcing bascule. Every distance becomes the perfect distance; he's game for any challenge and loves big jumps. Practicing in the field has to be one of his favorite exercises. Getting past his in-your-face curiosity and attention neediness, he is rather a sweet horse.
History: Ody was one of those Once-in-a-Lifetime horses; while working in England for the eventing barn, Juliet had the privileged to work with the young horses coming in. The experience was sometimes overwhelming between so much to do and so little time, and not enough staff to keep up with it all. Odyssey was nestled in the paddock of recently acquired bay horses - all legs and rumps. This little horse made his mark right away - he was always more interested in what the scurrying humans were up to than munching on hay or fighting with the other colts. He was the first at the gate and always up for cuddles and treats. He picked up tricks quickly (his love of food making him rather motivated). With just six weeks left of her internship - Juliet spent as much time working and just being around the young horse. The count down was on and she started to scramble trying to figure out how to buy and transport her newfound heart horse. She was finally able to scrape together the funds to ship him home to the States after six months, and their reunion was heartwarming for all who witnessed. While he failed to impress the event rider, he has flourished under the care and guidance of Juliet - their bond and his heart making nothing impossible.

Height: 5'6
Weight: 150 lbs.
Build: Stocky/Muscular
Modifications: Tattoo - Left Bicep, Simple Arrow with 2/18/2004-11/21/17 in small type along the shaft.

Significant Other: N/A
Housing: On-site Boarding

Horses: Karma; Mischief
Discipline: Jumpers
Training: Show Jumping up to 1.45m; Starting in the Grand Prix
Colors: Blue, Green, Black, White

Personality: Greyson has a generous soul and a passion for horses. He is kind and caring; others always before himself. If he hears through the grapevine that another rider or person is having a problem, he will do whatever he can to help out. He’s down-to-earth and tries to view things as objectively as possible. He knows and understands his limits, not often trying to push them - especially with extremely reckless or dangerous behavior. He is daring, bold and confident in his riding. Unfortunately, that has caused him to be called arrogant. Grey is analytical; makes plans, schedules, and plenty of lists. He never stops asking questions and he’s always trying to improve. He hates the jealous combative atmosphere competitions seem to have hanging over them. He is always looking for a bright side and is a rather genuine person. When he says ‘good luck’, he actually means it.
History: Lucky enough to spend summers on his grandparent's thoroughbred farm in Kentucky, Grey was bitten by the horse bug he was given his first pony and joined the local pony club. It wasn't long into his short stirrup career that he learned the thrill of jumping and the challenge of competitive show jumping. He worked hard through his junior years competing on the local circuits and rallies. He was beyond thrilled when he was noticed by a top jumping trainer and hired on as a working student. Greyson has spent the past few years working as a freelancer working training rides and catch rides, building up his reputation and building his show string.
Graduated college with a degree in accounting and business management.



Show Name: Ultimatum
Barn Name: Karma
Gender: Mare
Age: Eight
Breed: Thoroughbred

Coat Color: Dapple Grey
Markings: None
Eye Color: Milk Chocolate
Height: 16.3 HH

Discipline: Jumpers; 1.25 m Jumper & Low Jumper Division
Training: Jumpers and lower level basic dressage/flat work
Strengths: Scope; Great with most Distances; Eager to Learn
Weaknesses: Skinnies; Tight Collection; Sometimes Mareish;
Likes: Apples; Hugs; Jumping; Galloping; Rain; Rolling; Fox Hunting
Dislikes: Cola; Crowds - swarming her; Tight Spaces

Sire: Last Minute
Dam: Trusting Fate
Offspring: None

Stall: Two (Barn 2)
Turnout: Small Group - preferably mares only
Owner: Greyson Kerr

Personality: Sweetheart, Bold, Scope-y; Karma is surefooted and calculated. She tries to find the perfect distance no matter the situation, and will get her rider safely to the other side of any obstacle (unless the rider makes a terrible error). Don't let this mare's sweet exterior to fool you; she is fierce in competition and all about the manners. She demands respect but isn't above cuddles with her human. And she is definitely not above a celebratory buck or two during a course. She has the most willing attitude, always ready for the next thing - but don't send her too many signals and never give her a chance - she's bound to make mistakes and that's okay, it's when she gets confused and frustrated that the world goes black. She is a generally even tempered mare (but yes, she's a mare), well mannered and ready for some action - competitions, work out in the ring, or a wild gallop in the field.
History: Karma came to Greyson just shy of her third year. He had been working at a different stable training horses when this mare was added to his string to ride - back when she hadn't been ridden much. She was a failed racehorse, too slow to run a real race. Her second career potential quickly came out after only his second time on her back and she was eager to learn and form a partnership to last a lifetime. She was all legs and a bit gangly. As a dressage horse, she wasn't going to get very far. It was during a winter storm that her true potential came out. Having been kept in from the ice storm raging beyond the barn doors, the horses were turned out in small groups to the large indoor arena. Karma enjoyed a quick romp around with the other two coming four year olds in her group when she noticed the mounting block on the side of the arena. After checking it out, she decided she couldn't go around it, or through it, or under it - so she must have to go over it, and over it and over it. Grey had laughed so hard at her expression - confusion then pure joy. He bought her at a steal price and refuses to let her go.

Personality: With a name like his, people often assume that he’s trouble; which isn't the case at all. He’s just rather curious and doesn't have a mean bone in his large body. He was trained well from the very beginning so he’s always level headed. Unfortunately his curiosity has lead to being able to open stall doors, gates etc. so all his latches have extra security. When he does get free, he never takes off but will wonder around to see what everyone else is doing or eats the grass on the other side of the pasture fence.
History: Grey took the stallion on as a training prospect after hearing about him through the whispering grapevine. The horse was so much more than his reputation preceded. With what could only be a great training start - the chestnut horse rarely if ever shows his true stallion nature. In the paddock he loves to show off and move around, but in-hand or under saddle the horse is a true piece of art. After the first show, Greyson was already getting calls with offers on Mischief and by the second outing, he knew the stallion had a forever home with the O'Shea family. An older couple who had grown up in the Irish country side riding and showing horses, they like to invest in young horses and watch them perform.
