Alden Camden | Student | M: Anthea, Ryker Alden agreed with Ryker, there was quite a bit more people showing up to the academy, which was a good thing. He watched the man continue his work and noticed a girl approach him. Recognizing Anthea, he nodded his head at her question and listened to her talk. "You'll have time to learn how to handle him with the instructors." He assumed she was excited to learn the ropes, but he couldn't let her help out because this was technically his job. "Sorry, but I have to do this myself. Thank you for offering though." He didn't want ot upset her, he did truly appreciate her offering to help out. Still needing to get things done, he excused himself and continued on with his work. He started singing a tune that he was quite familiar with, sliding stall doors open and situating the buckets properly. Once that was done he waited in the tack room for Ryker to finish, so that they could head out to the paddocks. |

Minerva | Student | M: Kaya *Yeah, I got nothing better to do. My brother is getting things figured out for us. So are you new here too? Or been here awhile?* Miny asked as she was making conversation and well, taking the walk will help her familiarize herself with the area.
Ryker | Stablehand | Alden
Setting the last bucket on the hook, Ryker heads back up the pathway and meets Alden. Taking a glance outside, he checked on Akuma who was still mindlessly eating the grass. Hopefully they didn't mind him sticking around. Whenever he got his break today, he would take him home and put out to the pasture. Looking back to Alden, *I'm ready for the next task.* |

Anthea Moss | Female | 18 | Beginner | Mentions: Alden, Keelan, mostly all. | Anthea dropped her head a little at the decline for both of her question, she nodding with understanding. "Oh, okay! Have fun." But who CAN I talk to for help? They're all busy. Aren't they? Alden had left her to fend for herself, she watched him go. Her head turned like an owl to scout for an instructor, she saw Keelan with his horse, she decided to ask him, she figured he was the Western instructor instructor and ran over to him. "Um, I need help, I don't know how.." She stuttered not knowing how to say, she didn't know how to care for her horse. "Can you help me groom or tack Florian?" She said, being blunt. She cast her eyes down to her boots, she had picked out ones that had thick tread, were rubber, fitted her fine, they reached a quarter up her leg, AND were camo, her light blue stretchy jeans tucked into them neatly. It all lead up to her sleeveless hoodie, she had ripped off the sleeves at the seams, they didn't fit right. The hood was up over her head, it had writing on it. "Equestrian In Training" she found it perfect for her- aside from the sleeves- about a week after she had been accepted in the academy. The braid of red hair was flopped out from the side of her hood, she awaited a yes or no from him. She figured it'd be no because everyone was busy. Then she'd have to do it herself, she was getting worried now, her fingers crossed. |

Ava Lovato | Student Ava walks into the barn in the barn wearing fawn breeches and a sea foam green polo, with tall boots on. She is leading in her mare, who has a black leather halter that blends in with her coat, except for the gold name plate, and a matching black lead rope. The mare was still in her shipping boots and blanket. Ellie is pretty jiggy, and won't stand still. Ava walks around the barn trying to find Ellie's stall. She finds it and leads Ellie into the stall. She takes off her blanket and shipping boots then fills the water bucket. She then leaves the stall and heads to her trailer. She looks around and doesn't see anyone. She grabs her tack from the trailer and sets it on Ellie's stall door. She looks around for the tack room but doesn't see it. " Hm. I guess I will look for someone later." She sits in Ellie's stall and grooms her while she waits to see if anyone comes to the barn. |

Catherine Bergman || Student || M: Heather, Rose, Brooke By this point, Tamlin was soaking in his the free time, taking whatever slack on the lung line he could to explore the arena. Catherine smiled a the compliment offered by Heather and extended her hand to shake the girl's. "Thank you Heather, This is Tamlin and I am Catherine. Its a pleasure to meet you." She turned her head to greet the other girl but she was already bounding off to a truck that had pulled in. Catherine noted two other vehicles that had pulled in and their respective drivers unloading horses and equipment. With a shake of her braids she returned her smiling gaze to Heather who had taken note of Brooke who was now lunging her equine. "You're welcome to join us if you would like. I'm not sure how long I will be out here." She then turned to Brooke and waved at her briefly before offering a, "I haven't met the show jumping instructor yet but saw their name on a list in the lounge, have they arrived I was hoping to get to know them before the lesson." She did not want to bombard her but felt it necessary to meet the instructor before being thrown in a ring with them. Realizing that Brooke may not have even met the instructor yet, Catherine offered a shrug as she began leading Tamlin back in those slow, arching circles around her. She hoped Heather would join them and put the handsome steed she led around to work. "I am incredibly rude," She spoke as she continued in those sand-wearing circles "Who are your friends?" This came as she once more faced Heather, her eyes darting from the dog to the Hanoverian at her sides. And then she was turning again, slowly but steadily working up a sweat once more on her brow. |

Ava Lovato | Student | M: Anyone in the arena at the time. Ava finishes grooming Ellie, then tacks her up in a sea foam green dressage pad that matches her shirt. She puts on her helmet and walks Ellie to the arena. She walks to the arena, Ellie next to her. The sun is shinging off Ellie's spotless black coat. Ava sees some girls in the arena. She walks over to them. "Hello. I was wondering if any of you know where the tack room and the living quartes are. I couldn't find them. Oh, And my name is Ava by the way, Ava Lovato, and this is Eleganz." |

Heather Proudstorm | 17 | Beginner | Eventing Student | Nightmare "Prince" | Mentions: Catherine, Rose, and Brooke. Heather smiled a bit more. "You're welcome." She said to Catherine, shaking the woman's hand before turning her gaze over to the arriving vehicle that Rose ran off to. She was snapped out of it when she felt something rubbing against her back, looking over her shoulder, she caught Prince using her shirt to get an itch off by rubbing his face against her back. Heather decided to put her gelding to work as she brings him into the neighboring round pen that's next to the one that Catherine and her horse, Talim, is in. Toby stayed on the other side as usual, the dog would lay down to just watch. She started lunging the tall gelding as he starts walking around her in a circle. The brunette would have caught sight of Brooke and her Steed, she gave a friendly towards the dark haired girl's way before giving a quick wave, obviously meaning hello. When she heard Catherine ask this, she politely answered. "This is my gelding, Prince." She softly gestured to her horse who was now trotting around her in a circle while she was moving her feet while lunging him. "and over there is my dog, Toby." She softly gestured to the German Shepherd who was laying next to the around pen fence line. "So, how long have you been riding for?" She asked, pondering for a second. "If it's okay for me to ask." She nervously added, she didn't really know anyone here and she didn't want to either upset or have her feel uncomfortable by her questions. |

Shaun McGuire | Student | M: Open Seeing his sister leave, he just groaned in stress. Since no one was around, he just takes their stuff and goes off towards the housing units described in the acceptance letters. He found them and puts Miny's bags infront of one cabin and then he goes and gets into another unit. Walking in, he sets his stuff down on the floor. He felt awkward here as a Student ... maybe he could see about another position. He loved horses, he loved teaching about them, tacking them up, caring ... everything. Riding specialty's wasn't his thing. He was more into trail rides, simple races, and a new Synchronous Heart bond he developed... after years of learning horses, he believes horses and riders can sync movements... yes, with certain treat bribery and some time. It shows the true bond between human and horse |

Alden Camden | Student | M: Ryker, Any Alden was carrying a clipboard with a list, jotting down notes and marking things off on what he and Ryker had completed. He noticed the male return and nodded in greeting. "We'll drop off hay into the paddocks now, then turnout horses." Grabbing the keys for the UV, Alden went straight to the small garage that held all of the utility vehicles and equipment. They took turns piling on hay bales onto the back of the UV until he was satisfied with the amount. The two then spent the next half hour driving along the paddocks, hoisting flakes of hay into their proper pastures. Once that was done, they went back to the barn and Alden drove the UV into its place in the garage. Now they had to get the horses settled. He led Ryker back to the board in the tack room, which listed all of the pastures and where each horses was assigned. "It looks like most of the student's horses are being used currently for lessons, so we'll skip them." It only took them twenty minutes to get them into their paddocks, and not one fiesty horse today. Alden thanked Ryker for his help and showed him a list of chores that could be done for the rest of the day, then went off to check on Chance before lessons began. It was already quite late into the morning, so they would be starting soon. Once the Westphalian gelding was tacked up and ready for a ride, Alden led the big boy down the aisle and out of the barn. He looked around to see who was using what and noticed how busy the outdoor arena was today. Seeing how many students were there, including his sister, he choose to instead go to a roundpen to warm Chance up. Since they would be riding western he wanted the gelding as worn out as he could get. He was rusty with western disciplines, he hadn't touched his tack in a few months, compared to his dressage tack that was used daily. |
