Nickname:
Andy or Jones

Gender:

Male

Age:

22

Appearance:

Andy stands at around 6'1 and weighs around 180 pounds. He has dark brown, wavy hair that fluffs out over his forehead and the tip of his ears (almost shaggy like). He has light green eyes with a small hazel ring in them and his face is sprinkled with freckles from being out in the sun too much. His skin has a nice medium tan to it. He can usually be found in his riding clothes (tan leggings, a dark colored riding shirt, black belt, and back tall boots) or when he's relaxing, he jsut tends to wear some nice boot cut jeans and a normal tee. His face usually has a dark expression on it or a RBF is what it really is. Though while he is riding, it seems to lighten up slightly.

Personality:
Andy can come across as extremely standoffish a lot times, he doesn't like to get told what he is doing wrong or how he needs to fix something. He is definitely hard headed and a bit petty at times. It doesn't take much to get his blood boiling, escpecially if it is something about his beloved mare. So, for those reasons he tends to be a bit more reserved.

Allergies:

Riding History:

Andy grew up with horses basically flowing out of his pocket. His mother (Abigail Elizabeth Smithfield) and his father (Micheal Prescott Smithfield) owned a very well known training business called "Smithfield Equestrian Center" in a town located in South Dakota. So, he basically grew up riding on a horse constantly. While he was at his parents training facility he had the opportunity to train with a couple of elite trainers that got him to a pretty high level in his life. Whenever he outgrew one horse, he already had another horse bought to help him further along his training but now he was bored of having the same trainers and seeing the same courses everyday. He needed a new step into a right direction so he enrolled for the World Longines Eventing Academy, hoping it could bring him and his mare to the next level of training.

Pet Peeves:

Unclean tack, cheap items, not highly taken care of horses, and messy spaces

Interests:

Andy really enjoyes going on runs as it helps him to keep his head clear from a lot of things. He also enjoy lighting storms, it always fascinates him how the lighting dances across the sky (Even though his mare hates it).

Other:

There is also long scare along the back of his right knee from an ACL injury after an accident he had while riding, it causes him to have a slight limp when he's exhausted. During lightning storms, he will go sit out with his mare at the barn to help keep her calm while the storm passes.

Show name:

The Devils Advocate

Barn name:

Ace

Age:

7

Gender:

Mare

Appearance:
Ace is an Andalusian that stands at 16.2 hands. She has a long flowing mane and tail that start out as grey but quickly grows into black. Her coat is a shiny dark grey with lots of dapples that seem to make her fade into white as some spots, as well as her ears and legs are black.

Personality:
Ace is a complete hot head of a mare (Just like her owner), she is great at listening but once she learns what a drill is, she wants to get it done by herself without instructions. At times she can be a complete anxious mess when she isn't understanding a drill and tends to bolt to get out of the confusion at times. During competition, she seems to hold herself together a bit better and loves to compete, always celebrating the end jump with a bronc. On trail rides, she is a completely different horse, she always is relaxed and chewing at her bit and couldn't seem to be bothered by anything.

FamilyLineage:

Her sire was "Devils Man", a wellrounded dressage competition horse from Australia and her dame was "Whispering Rain", who was a famous eventing horse in South Dakota.

Offspring:

N/A

History:

Ace was breed to be an olympic level dressage horse but as they started her training at 3 years old, they quickly turned to see that she was disliked anything to do with Dressage. She always turned into a complete bronc or sprinter whenever a person would try to collect her up a ton to do bending or any low level dressage work. So, she was sold from her place in Australia and the Smithfields had her shipped over to North America and to their facility. That's when Andy laid his eyes on her, it didn't take long for him and her to connect as they were one in the same. Andy understood her and she could tolerate him for the most part. As she did her training, he moved her slowly from dressage work to jumping and cross country work, which she excelled at.

Other:

Ace has an extreme fear of lighting storms and dressage whips.

Love this! I'll leave my character here.

Rider:

Full name: María Fernanda Rossi.

Nickname: Fer.

Gender: Female.

Age: 22

Appearance: She's on the taller side of the average woman, standing near 1.70 m. Her chocolate curls fall just above her waist and she makes sure to always keep her hair braided around the horses. She's had a piece chewed off once or twice in her early years. She has a heart shaped face, with round cheeks and only one dimple on her right cheek. Her eyes are dark, near black one could say, and so small they shut almost completely when she laughs. Her nose shows her Italian heritage, being quite large in comparison to the rest of her face. Her lips are quite thin and with a very pronounced cupid's bow. She usually smiles without teeth, but when she shows them, they have a distinctive gap between the two middle lower incisors.

Personality: Bold, but the kind of bold that does a spreadsheet in her head beforehand. She will take risks as long as she has contemplated all the negative outcomes. She trusts her gut and the facts in the same measure. Socially, she can come across as too friendly, even for the extroverts. In a conflict, she tends to panic and stay quiet; then, when she's calmer, the things she could have said pop up in her head.

Allergies: None.

Riding History: Born and raised in Argentina, Fernanda initially fell in love with horses when she was four. The pony fever caught her through the movies and animated series; her parents had to hear all about it daily. She was twelve when she finally convinced her parents to pay for lessons at a small riding school just outside the city. It quickly became her whole life. She spent every afternoon after school with the horses, even if her family couldn't afford lessons every day; just being here was heaven to her. The next year her instructor allowed her to jump her first vertical, expecting her to slowly start showing. But Fernanda had other plans: she had caught a glimpse of a Cross Country round on the Olympics and the image of the rider soaring over bushes was implanted in her brain forever. When she mentioned the discipline to her instructor, they recommended going the safer way; they even had a serious talk with her parents.

Fer put her head down and continued jumping for two years, going up the levels at an accelerated pace. At 16, she put together a presentation and begged her parents to take on Eventing again. They couldn't say no when she showed up with a hundred pages of research on safety measures, including safety vests and modern helmets. There weren't any Cross Country courses where she lived, so her family moved to the country's capital city, hoping it was full of opportunities for their daughter. There, she did everything to better herself as an equestrian and to earn money: she worked as a stablehand for her new instructor, groomed for a few riders when the stable hosted shows, clipped horses in winter and enrolled on a farrier course at a local university. When the opportunity to ride a horse co-owned by her instructor came up, she took it without thinking. The idea was to get some wins under his girth in order to put him up for breeding later. The stallion was well-behaved but finicky; one wrong move and you're eating the sand. He also got easily distracted by other horses, so getting him to focus on the fences in front of him wasn't easy.

After ten years of never quitting thanks to her parents' support, and together with her instructor's stallion, she managed to become the fifth best Eventing rider in her country. But she doesn't see a future there anymore, so now shes ready to fly away and learn elsewhere. And although she always thought she started riding too late to ever be someone in the sport, she's ready to challenge herself.

Pet Peeves: Horses with zero turn out and poor saddle fit.

Interests: Other than horses being her main obsession since she was a child, Fer is an avid reader and can be seen with a book under her arm at all times. Sometimes it's fiction, others cooking, and, of course, half the time it's horse related.

Other: She will need to lease a horse on site, she's fine with any of them
