Max is 10 players and then the sign up will close. It may re-open in the future though :)
Twisty Pine Farms, better know as TPF, has been in the community for 60-odd years, starting out as a small stable of just 4 boarders and growing to house about 30 horses. It has one 20 horse barn and several large pastures, as well as many different paddocks. It has both an indoor and outdoor arena, as well as an outdoor round pen. While it’s not the fanciest stable, it’s down to earth nature makes it a cozy place to board your horse.
The owner is Miss Mary Rose, who founded the stable in 1964 with her husband James Anthrop. She is quite elderly and is unable any of the work around the barn anymore, but spends more time there than anyone making sure everything is squared away. She’s basically your generic sweet old lady.

Rules:
- Treat people with kindness
- Hate the character, not the player
- Give grace for grammar and other mistakes, I ask that you have semi-decent grammar but of course I accept that mistakes happen and other RPers should too.
- If you bothered to read the rules, say your horse likes eating cheesecake (under the “likes” section, as well as the horse’s actual likes). This is just so I know and most likely the horse won’t actually like cheesecake
- Max two characters per player- preferably just one or one active and one less active
- Max three horses per character (preferably one to two)
- Your character may have a pet (or as many as you wish). Only well-behaved dogs can come to the barn though.
- Wait to be accepted before beginning the RP
- If you would like an exception to any of the rules, just PM me and we can try and work something out.
