Ryker | Stablehand | Mentions: Brooke, briefly Keelan
Ryker watches Keelan work with his students. He smiles and studies before hearing a familiar voice in the background. Looking over, he saw Brooke and heads over to her while still on Akuma. *Hey! I got the papers signed for you. And that rabbit from last night, She, is doing well... we can expect a full recovery.* Ryker was proud that he was able to save the rabbit and fully prove his skill. He held the papers out to Brooke, *I can start today if you like.* Minerva | Student | Anyone
*Next time you want to start a fight, do it on someone else’s property!* The taxi driver yells and kicks Minerva and Shaun out the car. They got their bags before the taxi driver sped off, flinging rocks and other what not in their face. *What an awful little man. Someone must’ve stolen his pot of gold.* She said before grabbing her bags and walked up the drive to the academy. Looking around, now where was the admissions office? Or a check in? *This place is a little bit of a maze, never to fear... We’ll find it.* she said and sets her bag down to go search. Shaun | Student | Anyone Shaun followed his sister before watching her disappear to go find some office or person? He gave up on keeping track of her as she was always disappearing off to somewhere. Setting his bags down, the large man couldn’t help but follow her idea and kinda wandered around a bit, but stuck close to their luggage as they didn’t trust the area yet... |

Anthea Moss | Female | 18 | Beginner | Mentions: Mostly Keelan, All. | Anthea checked the time on her phone while trying to get use to the boots she was wearing, and sipping coffee. 7:08. Wait, wasn't it 7:30 when I left? Oh sheets we must be an hour behind, my alarm is messed up and so is Dibby. She thought, realizing she was up early today. She tucked her phone in her back pocket and shivered, looking for Brooke, Alden or anyone- maybe Catherine, she was nice. Taking in the sweet smell of evaporating dew from the slim grass stems and the wildflowers, she blinked from the sun in her eyes. She saw Keelan and picked up speed to get closer to him. She looked over and saw two people on the driveway, she started running and tapped Keelan's shoulder 5 times. "Western guy, two people are coming up the road, I think they're students." She said, entering the barn to hide a little, the man was bigger then she'd like to admit and it scared to a little. She went down the Isle and saw Catherine and Brooke talking, then Catherine left and then Brooke. She untied her braid, fiddling with her hair the as a way to make her not feel stressed about this being her first day. After re-braiding it she ran over to Florian's stall and called out to him softly. "Ooh big boy~." She softened her voice up to say hello to the friesian stallion who was greedily munching on hay in the hayrack. |

Brooke Camden | Student | M: Catherine, Ryker, Rose, Any Brooke was clipping the halter onto Red when Ryker's voice sounded behind her. She looked to the male, who was atop a stallion she hadn't seen before and gave him a small smile. "Good morning, Ryker." He seemed enthusiastic for the day, and that made her all the more excited. Hearing that the rabbit had pulled through over the night was something that she hadn't expected. Brooke remembered the look of the amputated limb and grimaced. "That's great, hopefully, it will make a full recovery." She accepted the papers that the male handed to her, and she put them into the tack box that she kept outside of Red's stall. The wooden box was worn from years of use but was well taken care of for its age. Closing the lid and securing it with the lock, she made a mental note to come back for the paperwork to put it in Joslyn's office. She listened to Ryker as he offered to start working today and nodded. "Yes, that would be perfect. You can go into the tack room and get all of the details from my brother, Alden. He's in there about to finish the morning feed and turn out for the horses." She was slightly startled when Rose showed up out of the blue and begged her to let her bring her dog to the stable. "You can, but make sure that it's on a leash at all times, it's Belle View policy with dogs. And yes, you can keep the rabbit." With that being said, Brooke led her Dutch Warmblood down the aisle and to the outdoor to join Catherine. |

Ryker | Stablehand | M: Brooke, Rose, Alden He looks to the younger girl who spoke about the rabbit. He was about to speak about it till she immediately spoke to Brooke and so he shut his mouth. Then he sees her horse tries to nip him and Akuma pinned his ears back and swings his head at the other horse and snorts loudly with his ears still pinned before he moves away and his ears relax. Ryker pats Akuma's neck before leading the horse away and went to the tack room area. He got down off the horse and approached the man there, *Alden?* Minerva | Student | M: Anyone Seeing no one, she comes back to Shaun and their luggage, *Alright well, there was no one over there.* she said before hearing voices and she leaves her brother, again, and went and saw other people. |

Catherine Bergman || Student || M: Heather (direct) Round and round and round they went, working through stiff muscles and pent-up energy from the days-long drive they took. Flecks of sand kicked up beneath shell pink hooves as the gelding huffed in approval at the way his muscles stretched and worked. As they made yet another turn the gaze of another caught her eye and she clucked the gelding to a slow stop as she offered the other girl a wave to come over. She noted the dog at the girl's side and offered the canine a soft smile, careful to keep Tamlin far enough away that the animals did not spook one another. Her braids had frizzed a bit and her cheeks were flushed a soft pink from the work she had been putting in. The property was in full working swing now and other students led or rode their horses about, getting into the groove of the day. Her earbuds had long since been tucked into a pocket and the sleeves of her jacket were now rolled up to her elbows to stave off the heat of the risen sun. Tamlin leaned down to lip at her knee, begging for a treat for the work he had done. She merely chuckled and gently shoved his head away to which the grey responded with a huff and an uninterested stare. Catherine returned her gaze to the solitary girl and offered her a "Hello!" Across the arena, the noise carried in an excited whisper throughout the area they occupied. She noted the wagging tail and interested ears of the dog and smiled once more at it. Cat had not owned a dog of her own since she was very small. It had been a great Dane named Frauke who her father got rid of once he realized she would be too much to handle while running a breeding program simultaneously. The dog had been fun but made the sunkissed blonde realize she much prefered four legged friends of the equine variety. |

Alden Camden | Student | M: Ryker, Any Alden looked up from the buckets in his hands as he was leaving the tack room. He almost bumped into Ryker, but caught himself before he did. The young man had a gelding following close by and he seemed dressed for hard work. "Yep, that's me. What do you need?" He was curious as to what he wanted. Perhaps this was a new student seeking help, but he waited for the man to reply before jumping to conclusions.
Joslyn Arnell | Instructor | M: All Joslyn had finally gotten a full night's rest and was up and about at 6am, handling some tasks that needed to be done in her office. The room is situated close to the indoor, and was discernible by the ornate wreath that hung on the door. She wanted to complete some necessary orders for supplies and equipment needed for the stable, they were in need of more senior grain and bedding. The influx of horses was more than she had anticipated, and she would need to adjust the amount that was purchased monthly to make up for the new arrivals. She sighed through her nose, listening to the sounds of the keyboard clacking away under her fingertips. Since she spent years working in office type positions, she was very skilled at typing, but it didn't make this part of the job any less boring for her. Deciding to take a quick break, she glanced at the time and her eyes widened at how much had passed. She had been on the computer for a few hours now and hadn't even noticed. Joslyn stretched in her chair with her arms reaching behind her back to crack it, then got up to go to the lounge room for coffee. On her walk to her destination, she heard the sounds of students milling around the stable and smiled at those she passed. Soon she would memorize these faces and get to know them, and hoped that she could pass on her knowledge successfully. In the lounge room, she prepared a half pot of coffee and sat on the couch while waiting for it to brew. She watched people through the windows as they roamed around with horses and let her thoughts wander. |

Kaya Hays | Eventing Student | M: Open The two were beyond late, by at least a day. After a cross-country drive, and the redhead's inability to plan times correctly, she had finally made it to Belle View. The expanse of sprawling pastures and snow-capped mountains was breathtaking to say the least, but Kaya didn't have time for that. She pulls into the lot rather hastily, shoving the older model, and rather rusted, Dodge into park before turning it off and pocketing the key. She hurries from the truck, wincing at the slam of the metal door as she heads to the back of the small two-horse trailer. Poko, beyond upset at this point, releases a sound like that of a dying cow, catching the attention of a few horses in a field nearby. The girl shushes the beast, reminding her not to disturb the people. Poko didn't listen of course, as if she ever did, and repeats her screams of welcome as she is backed from her confinement. The redhead leads the mule inside, hurried from embarrassment by both her late arrival and Poko's need to be the center of attention. While distracted, the mule had caught wind of some flowers and stopped to eat, yanking the young woman back with her sudden stop. Kaya stood pulling on the lead rather comically and clearly to no avail as the equally red mule continued to eat, "Poko, you fat thing, don't eat the flowers. What happened to that talk about having a pleasant introduction." Now all she could do was wait and hope nobody important came around. Keelan O'Brian | Western Instructor | M: Joslyn With no avail at finding students, he busies himself with finishing to tack up Dan. It made sense, of course, that such a prestigious center as this wouldn't habe many in the western disciplines. As he thought, he leads the horse to the arena from last time, passing and waving at any familiar faces he saw. He had planned to exercise Dan and kill some time, however the sight of Joslyn has him backpeddling. Keelan borrows the bar of a stall to tie Dan, jogging over to the lounge and knocking on the window with a goofy grin before disappearing then reappearing in the doorway, "Hey. You feeling better?" He stands with his hands on his hips once more, mostly to catch his breath from his hurry. |
