I think I'll throw a character in here :) Here we go!
>>>>
Student Form
Name: Kaya Hays (Kai-uh)
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Job: Work-study/stable hand
Appearance: Kaya stands roughly 5'6" and is on the curvier side. Her hair is a strikingly deep red like that of Poko's, and she has tons of freckles all over. Unlike Poko, Kaya has heterochromatic blue/brown eyes and patches of vitiligo on her face/arms/hands, although more noticeable in sunny seasons due to tans.
Personality: Kaya enjoys making friends and is a friendly person, however is more reserved about things. She will gladly smile and laugh yet hides things she feels would be a bother. Once you get to truly know her, she is fun to be around and overall loyal. She enjoys frogs a lot and has a custom set of froggy pads/wraps for Poko during lessons and such.
Family: Michael Hays (Father), Alice Hays (Mother)
Riding Experience: Kaya is proficient, and is a mid-level intermediate rider.
Backstory (opt): Kaya didn't grow up in a wealthy or horse-savvy family, but rather a working-class household. It wasn't until she turned 13 and got a job at a local stable that her parents offered to help support her dream. Her previous trainer gifted a young Poko a few years after she began riding well, and the pair have taken their local town competitions by storm.
Romantic status: Single, Pansexual
Likes: Frogs, spring meadows, baby animals in general, herb gardens, books, bees
Dislikes: Rainy weather, Poko's bad attitude days
Other: Some people put favorite horses, so I'm going to say mules or just ponies in general

(Mule) Form
Name: VFE Pokebelli (Poe-cuh-belly)
Barn Name: Poki
Age: 10
Gender: Mare/Molly
Breed: Mule (Belgian Warmblood/ American Mammoth cross)
Discipline: Jumping
Appearance: Poko, as called by Kaya, is a 16.2hh deep red chestnut with expressive splash markings covering her face and belly, finished with brilliant blue eyes. Poko is named for her single spot on the side of her belly, hence why her name sounds like 'Poke her belly' if said fast enough. She's thick, with a powerful hind end and thick shoulders from her sire, but is surprisingly sleek and uniform with more warmblood-ish conformation. Other than the giant head and ears of course.
Poko Girl <3
Personality: Poko is very... expressive. She is rambunctious and enjoys being a pain. She likes to throw fits when riding but is still sure-footed and extremely intelligent. She yells at people and horses randomly, which normally just entails an annoying call that sounds like that of a donkey but 10 times worse. She does have her good moments, however, and is gentle with little kids. She likes to play with people and never strays too far. Overall she is the prankster of the barn and enjoys doing so.
Likes/Dislikes: Poko is every horse's basic fear in one. Plastic bags, one specific arena corner, and even things the color red (If she can even see it) all set her off, and can instantly find any way to injure herself whenever possible. Yet Poko enjoys the attention with injuries, the love, and wonder that only small children seeing such large ears for the first tike can bring, and rolling in the messiest of puddles. She also likes the flowers that adorn fancy jumps mid-competition, and even more so eating them.
Notes: Don't let this peculiar pair fool you! When put together, the pair are formidable on the course and in the arena, and will give you a run for your ribbon!
