Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

The new batch of yearlings were ready to be turned outside - and that usually meant insanity. She was lucky this year in the fact that most of them had been decently trained, but like any other year there were ones that cause something to happen. After a morning of running around, she was happy to deal with the foals. Most of them were at least a few weeks old now but weren't ready to be on their own yet.
The brunette took a long sip of her iced coffee, which was slowly turning into regular coffee after being left alone. She set the cup on the ground in front of the first foaling stall and opened the door, sliding in before closing it behind her. The woman checked on the buckskin pair, smiling as Comet stood up from the shaving bed. She crouched down, allowing the colt to come to her.
Rory noticed the colt flicking his ears forward as if he heard someone else approach. The voice made it clear that Comet was correct. "Well, I'm glad you think they are cute. Alright, who told you the breeding barn was back here?" Rory stood up and left the stall - checking on the two would have to wait now that she had a visitor. "You seem new? I'm Rory. The breeding manager." She wasn't angry, though if the teen had gone into the stall that would have been another story.
show name • Merlin's Magic stable name • Merlin age • ten discipline • 3 day eventing gender • stallion
the appearance
identifying features• light bay body with black markings with white around all four hooves. He also has a black mane and tail. On his face he has a white stripe that also comes down to his nostrils.
the personality
likes • water, galloping, sugar cubes, baths and being playful. dislikes • thunder, the farrier, carrots, fires and birds. strengths • his endurance and bravery weaknesses • gets excited easily, dressage (isn't his strong suit) fears • not preforming his best. overall personality • Merlin is super outgoing and loves a good adventure. The stallion is known to playfully buck after he knows he's had a good round at a competition. He finds dressage boring, but due to his hard work attitude he will do it anyway. Merlin gets excited easily, usually during either show jumping or cross country. This is partially due to him being excited and loving his job.
the history
owner • RORY ROSE WAY father • Magic Touch mother • Queen Guinevere siblings • half brother; Lancelot. overall history • Merlin was bred and born in Germany. His love for the cross country course was seen early. As a youngster, he jumped the fence surrounding his paddock and was found on their cross country course. That settled his training and it began. The long legged colt loved show jumping and cross country, but struggled in dressage. He even had to be sent away for more training. He took the competition scene by storm, his owner taking many ribbons home with him.
His owner unfortunately decided to go away to University and had to sell him. He was sent to Hickstead to a local barn to be sold as they already knew him from being sent over for dressage training. Rory recently decided to buy him to be able to move up in the Eventing levels.
Rory is super quiet, she likes keeping to herself and considers her horses her best friends. Once she opens up and trusts you she is very understanding and friendly. She has a hard time making friends because of her behaviour but she hopes to make new friends at Seven Oaks. She has a few but is always keen to make more!
enemies
Rory really doesn't know if she has any enemies but if she had to pick one she'd have to say her father. Sure there are probably people who are considered her rival due to also breeding horses.
HEY THERE! my name is Gabriella and i'm 21 years old. i'm a wiminz and i've been roleplaying for 4 +/- years. but enough about me, here's my character. =]
[/font]:[/b] Joy to the World.
barn name: Joy
age: 5. (April 27, 2010)
gender: Mare.
colour: Dark bay.
markings: White blaze and three white spots on three of her legs.
height: 16.1 hh.
breed: Wurtemberger
sire and dam: Winter Wonderland X Holly Berry.
siblings: A twin sister named, Snow.
owned by: Rory Way.
brief history: Joy was born at a prestigious Eventing stable close to London. Unfortunately, the family that owned the barn died in a house fire. One of the horses was very smart and opened the gate to let the horses out. Joy was just a foal then and got out with her Sire and Dam. These horses were wild for a few months, which is when Rory spotted them when she was riding another horse. She called her friend, Sarah, who owns a rescue barn near Seven Oaks and asked if they could have a home there. Sarah said yes and allowed Rory to keep Joy, since the workers could not get Joy away from Rory. Rory is training Joy to be a three-day eventer. [/font][/ul]
[/font]:[/b] Watermelon, granola and doing dressage.
dislikes: Nylon halters, mice and bats.
strengths: Dressage, Show jumping and Eventing.
weaknesses: Because she has not really been around people, she is a little shy around them.
fears: Being alone and not fitting in with the other herds at Seven Oaks.
habits: Dancing to music (sometimes it's just bobbing her head up and down, especially if she is at a show or being groomed), eating watermelon and giving Rory hugs.
overall personality: Joy is a super shy horse because of her past. She takes time to warm up to people but when she does, she is one of the best horses ever. [/ul]

HEY THERE! my name is Gabriella and i'm 21 years old. i'm a wiminzand i've been roleplaying for 4 years. i was referred here by no-one but enough about me, here's my character. =]
parents: Michael Way and Jasmine Way. (nee Thomas)
siblings: She has a twin sister named, Taylor.
brief history: Rory was born into a complicated family. Her childhood was horrible, since her father mentally abused her. Her parents divorced when her and Taylor were nine years old. The divorce didn't really become final until Rory was 15 years old, since neither parent really had enough money to pay for a lawyer. When it came time for Rory to decide where she wanted to live, she immediately chose her mother. The two girls were not allowed to be split up, so Jasmine took both girls. Both girls had to go through counselling and several visits to the psychiatrist. These people could not figure out what was wrong with her, but Rory knew that riding horses was the only thing that was keeping her entire life together. She was lucky that her elementary school had a riding team, which she automatically signed up for. School was really difficult for Rory, since she was on medication and couldn't concentrate on anything except what her father would do to her next. Once High School rolled around, Rory finally came out of her shell and made some friends. She graduated top of her class, and went to University in Hickstead, to take part of their Equine Breeding program. She finished school last year and is now starting to work at Seven Oaks. [/font][/ul]
[/font]:[/b] Taking care of new born foals, listening to music and teaching.
dislikes: Her father, people underestimating her because of her past and olives.
strengths: Riding, taking care of both the foals and the mare, and training horses.
weaknesses: It takes her a really long time to trust people, because of her father.
secrets: Not very many people know that she has a huge scar across her back.
fears: Her father coming to get her or her sister, not getting married.
habits: Twirling her hair around her fingers when she is nervous and she taps her foot often as well.
overall personality: Rory is super quiet, she likes keeping to herself and considers her horses her best friends. Once she opens up and trusts you she is very understanding and friendly. She has a hard time making friends because of her behaviour but she hopes to make new friends at Seven Oaks. [/ul]
