Well, we'll start with height. Grey is exceptionally tall at 6'6. He weighs over 240 pounds of mostly muscle. He has chocolate brown eyes, and deep brown hair, it is longer on top and shorter on the sides, but always has a slight curl and wave to it. He has a lean body, not scrawny, but not bulging with muscles. Imagine a man who works hard, that is how Grey get's his muscles, it is obvious he works outside, not at a gym.
He usually has a 5 o'clock shadow, or a face that hasn't been shaved in a few days. He has a fairly strong nose, not too big, not too small, not upturned, and not hawk like. He has a stronger more well defined jaw, and lips that are of a normal size. You can't escape the fact that he is handsome in his tall dark and quiet mysterious way. He has quite a few tattoos, but they seem to add to his mystery and brooding attitude. He has a tribal tattoo on the right side of his chest only, and he has a tiger climbing over his left shoulder.
p e r s o n a l i t y → Complex. Describing Grey in a word. He is ever growing, ever changing. Not just "one person" he changes himself due to a situation, or to a problem. Not to say he is fake, but he changes how he goes about himself in a particular situation. He is a chameleon, he can blend in, or stand out if he wishes. Well, blending in isn't easy when your well over 6 foot.
He can be both cold, and kind. Usually he saves his cold side for people, actually he is never cold with a horse, he is firm, he lays down the law, but always with the love of a parent. He teaches them, not scolds them. It is not completely clear why he is so cold to everyone, but suffice to say he has had bad life experiences, especially with women. Though, if he is teaching you, helping you learn, he is kind and understanding, as if you're a horse.
He can be quite the charmer, actually he is a charmer, playboyish type. How is this possible if he doesn't like women, you ask? Well, just because he has relations with a woman, doesn't mean he LIKES her. He uses them, they use him. He is never without a woman on his arm, and they truly adore him.
He is strong, and quiet. That tall dark and handsome, mysterious type. He doesn't readily share his life's story, and has more tendency to be quiet than to speak up, don't mistake this for being shy. He is rarely shy, or fearful of people, at least he doesn't ever show it. He is a typical cowboy, but he is also more.
He can also be stubborn. Which, as you look at it, and on what subject, can be good and bad. He doesn't give up on horses, or people who need his help, but on the other hand, he can be stubborn about certain things especially. While it can be infuriating, it is something to be admired in him, as he isn't easily lured by money or by any other bad means. Which shows his strength in character.
Another thing that could be considered a vice is of how calm he always is. He doesn't show much emotion, and if he does, your never really know if it's real or not. Just because he smiles doesn't mean he is happy, just because he frowns doesn't mean he's mad. He is nearly impossible to read, unless you know him well. He is really just...infuriating.
He doesn't like to be told what to do all that much. He isn't very rebellious, but he does like to stir up trouble sometimes to his very great amusement. It is sometimes as if he doesn't understand others, their feelings for each other. As if he is an entirely separate being, he seems lonely, he may be here, but he is somewhere else altogether. Grey sometimes seems to be absorbed in his memories, when he sees, smells, or hears certain things.
He is an enigma. Both a loner, and someone that can charm your socks right off. He contrasts himself so sharply, it almost makes you wonder if you will ever know the true Grey.
Riding →
As a rider, Grey's specialty is probably Dressage. He is a very sensitive rider, and able to sense his horses moods, and he knows them well enough to play to their strengths. His strength is a rider is his ability to control his emotions, and be endlessly patient with his horses, and also he has extremely soft hands, but knows when to be firm, and an AMAZING seat, Dressage, and Cross country are his specialties. Though, a weakness would probably be that he demands so much with his horses, and himself, that he sometimes get's too focused, and exhausts himself, though never the horse. He often has more trouble with seeing strides, he doesn't have the best of eyesight, and he does pinch with his knees sometimes. Grey has been riding since he was 3 years old, of course, he always rode with his mother at that age, but as soon as he was 5, he had his own pony and was jumping.

Pirates Rites
P Y R E
name → Pirates Rites is my show name, but my barn name is simply Pyre.
age → I've just reached the age of 9, so I'm still young.
gender → Stallion
breed → Andalusian x Dutch Warmblood
color → bay
markings → A snip, and a white pastern marking on his right front.
mane/tail color → Black
eye color → brown
personality → Pyre is a total opposite of Cru, he is a kind in your pocket kind of horse, he is sensitive to leg and seat, but just using your hands is a no-no. He will continue to do as he wishes if you just use your hands, which makes him a tougher ride sometimes. Mostly, he is a well behaved gentleman. He likes to get loved on, and loves cookies and carrots and apples. Actually, he is a food monster! He will eat anything put in front of him, he has a mischievous personality, and loves to chew on things. He is fun to have around, but can cause some frustration as he is bad about untying himself and taking off. Though, he is mostly a loveable fudge ball.
specialty → Cross Country! He is brave and never hesitates to keep going through water, or over dangerous jumps. He adores cross country, while good at everything else, he is a mean lean xc machine!
riding level → Intermediate - Expert, depending on his mood.
vices → That would have to be that he likes to chew on everything, and likes to untie himself and run off.
strengths → Pyre is a friendly guy, and likes to help his rider out, especially in show jumping and cross country. He basically just has to be told where to go in show jumping, a little different in cross country, but he is easy as it comes. He is a fun ride, and is well behaved for the most part.
weaknesses → In dressage, he gets impatient and likes to anticipate what's coming, if he knows a test, he will do it without being commanded, which is frustrating. He can get fussy if you are very in his mouth, too.
stud → Yes.
fee → $4000
foals → Only 5, so far. We've been selective on the mares.

To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please,
begging please.
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
