KARA ELDERFLOWER tags;; nobody
A green land rover drove down the small country roads of England, with a small trailer just big enough for the two horses inside following behind. Three people sat inside the belly of the car. Two proud parents, and one nervous (although she wasn't showing it) young girl, named Kara. This whole experience sent the butterflies soaring through her stomach and into all her other intestiney-bits. She could feel her heart getting closer and closer to her dream.
They pulled up the long drive of the boarding school, and boy was it gorgeous. There was endless paddocks either side, with white picket fences lining them. It was almost like a dream - like one of those amazing stables you saw on tumblr. There were horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes. She wondered if Roman and Pie would even fit in..
Suddenly, she realised their car was not alone. As they parked up in the carpark, which had spaces to fit a car and horse box, she didn't feel so lonely. Although she didn't know anyone, all these first years were in the same boat as her. They were all new to this amazing school. Her parents helped her unload her horses, and that was it, that was goodbye. She was alone, her horses lead ropes in one hand and her suitcase in another. She looked around for someone else who might be able to give her a hand.. "Get off!"She muttered, as Pie began to impatiently nibble her hair.

Roman pawed at the ground impatiently. He was scared. He was completely confused. Why were they here? This wasn't a competition.. Pie wasn't helping, either. She seemed to be oblivious to everything going on. There were horses and their humans everywhere. 'It's crazy...' Roman thought to himself.

LEWIS HARKWOOD tags;; celtic cargo
Lewis was currently getting Cel settled in his stall. He'd been one of the first to arrive, and was wondering when the others would start arriving. He patted his pretty horses neck, whispering praise to him. Lewis was shocked at the size of the barn. There was a lot of horses and a lot of people, and Lewis wasn't sure whether he liked it compared to his usual, quiet local stables. Well, either way, he'd just have to get used to it. It was his home for the next few years!

FINN KNIGHT tags;; some random girls
It was Finn Knight's second year as a riding instructor at Bluebell Sunset. His strong arms lifted the new students saddles up to the highest racks, his jodphurs clutching his muscular legs perfectly. Although that did attract unwanted attention. This year, it felt different. Like there was really some special people out there who could go all the way to the top. Deep inside, he was definitely excited. But for now, he had to deal with some of the crazy new girls flirting with him... With a roll of his eyes, he blatantly sent them to clean some tack. Might as well put the little minions to good use!

name ;;Ashton Kerry Stackow nicknames ;;Most of the students call her Ash. age ;;28 years old gender ;;female position ;;An instructor discipline ;;english - mainly show jumping personality traits ;;Ashton is one of the truly competitive riders out there. As much as she loves the horses and idea of riding, she likes winning even more. She has very little patience for riders who aren't willing to put in the work, but she'll try her best to work with a pupil that is dedicated. Ash has a sort of cold front that she puts up towards people in order to get the job done, but you'll know that she likes you if she begins to forgive your mistakes.
horse ;;She owns Hero(below) history ;;Ashton comes from the US, originally, but her father, who was a big shot show jumper, decided that his daughter needed to become competitive and able to succeed the family's training business. So, when Ash was sixteen, she was taken out of school and moved to Germany, where she trained with some of the world's finest. Up until a little while ago, she was working towards the Grand Prix level with her horse when the riding school asked for her help as a trainer. physical description ;;Ash is built very awkwardly for a rider. She's rather short, just a bit over 5', but she is very lanky looking for her height. She has deceivingly strong arms and legs, although most of her power when riding comes from her seat. Her hair is down to around her elbows and a shade of soft brown. Her eyes are a dark hazel color.
show name ;;Chasing the Moon barn name ;;Hero age ;;9 years old gender ;;Stallion discipline ;;Show Jumping personality traits ;;Hero absolutely loves to jump. He hasn't refused a single fence since he was four, and doesn't plan on starting again now. The only downside? He hates to flat. This is one of the only horses that can and will buck during a trot. He's also extremely lazy and requires a large amount of leg to get started, but once you put a jump in front of him, there's no stopping this stallion. owner ;;Ashton Stackow height ;;16.0 hands breed ;;Holsteiner interesting facts ;;This horse has a ridiculously large stride for his size. He can take strides out of lines rather than make tight turns to gain time.

Drew Dawson I got out of my dad's blue truck and ran to the back of the trailer where I heard Comet and Blaze shifting around in the horse trailer. I opened it and saw Comet's eyes stare at me with fiery. He hated trailers. Blaze was relaxed and calm. I untied the two and led them out of the trailer one at a time. I started leading them to the barn. Comet was curious and looking around. He is full of energy and trotted next to the calm Blaze. Blaze reached over and nipped his neck. Comet letting out a kick and pinned his ears back. "Comet, calm down." I said as I lead them into the barn. I put them in their stalls. Blaze looked around and Comet did the same.

Ashton gave way to a sigh as she stretched up to slide her saddle onto one of the three trainer racks. "These darn things are made for giants," she muttered to herself as she began taking the bit off of her bridle in order to replace it with a stronger one. Looking over, she noticed a few of the new female students flirting somewhat pathetically with another trainer, and she couldn't help but stifle a small chuckle. However, not wanting to interrupt anything, she continued in her feeble attempts to stack her saddle pads over top of the saddle, but it was obviously in vain.
It probably didn't help that Ash's mind was in a different place than her body. Not only would she be an instructor, she'd also have the side project of her stallion to work with. Of course, Hero had been one of the first thing's she'd wanted to come with her from Germany, partially because he needed it, partially because she wanted him to get experience in such a high-class barn. Not paying attention, she could only watch as her stomach guard and half-pad fell from the saddle rack, rocking the expensive saddle underneath of them back and forth.
Lewis appeared from over the stall opposite from where the boy who'd just brought his two horses in was."Hey!" He called over, with a little wave. Might as well make friends early on.

Finn quickly sent the newbies on their way when he realised he was in the presence of another instructor. He didn't want them to think any less of him on his first day with the first years. Finn had always taught in private lessons, never classes, so this was all new to him. He'd never seen this other instructor, so he guessed she must be a first year instructor. Watching her struggle, he chuckled, before walking over to the small woman and saying"need a hand?"
