A Second Chance

Most can agree that horses are b r e a t h t a k i n g, unfortunately not everyone feels that way, and some equines are not given a fair shake at life from the get go. Some are left behind, forgotten, or just down right neglected, treated as if their lives are just somehow less important than others. As sad as it may be, many of these creatures go through life without anyone opening another door for them.

However that is all about to change.

The Tranquility Ranch, a small horse rescue, and the High Meadows Riding Academy, a renowned horse academy, have come together to put on a make shift camp to bring attention to these forgotten souls. Fifteen Riders of all experence levels have received invitations of participaton from the newly founded Tranquility Meadows Camp. Where they will be put to the test to change the life of one forgotten horse in just one summer. They will be tasked with gentling and training the horse, and their success will be judged at the end of the summer where they will all enter into a tournament.


This tournament will not only test the training of the rider and horse, but also the bond they have built. The winner at the end of the tournament will win a full scholarship to the High Meadows Academy, and should they wish, the horse they trained will become theirs. Permanently.

Do you have what it takes?

__________________________

My Co-Pilots for this Rp are Polly and Tenebris Umbra.
Treat her with the respect she deserves, which is the same amount you would give me. Any disrespect shown towards her, or either of us really, will result in an immediate kick from the roleplay.

______________________________

Most people probably know my activity notes by now. They still apply. I'll try to be as active as I can, and I expect and hope you wll do the same.
Thank you.

My Roleplay Rules
Follow all of WP's and Eve's Rules
1. Be Active. Do not Join never to be active. This applies to Discussion and Rp. If you're inactive for Three days without any notice, you'll be removed and your spot opened.

2. This is a Semi-Literate Rp. All Rp Post must be a Minimum of 1 Paragraph of at least 5 Full Sentences with Decent Punctuation, Spelling, & Grammar.

3. This is also a Semi-Realistic Rp, verging closer to Realistic. Horses must be realistic colors, and their Disciplines must make sense for their Breed. Since you will help asign the trials at the end, this must be followed.

4. Be Respectful. To Everyone. Characters can fight in Rp, but I want NO OOC drama.

5. There will be some wild horses, but not all horses can be a 10/10 on the wild scale. There must be variation. I will decline if I see people not following this.

6. Maximum 4 Characters Per Person for Now. This means: Two Humans, Two Horses Maximum.

7. Please put your favorite breed of horse in the other section of your Rp if you've read this far.

8. I have no problem with LGBTQ+ in this Rp. However, romance or anything of the sort likely won't be a big part of this rp.

9. For the Purpose of this Rp, there will be no Foals right now.

10. Try to pick breeds that haven't been used multiple times, but this is more of a recommendation than a requirement.

11. Reservations last 24 hours, after that the spot will be opened up for whoever. You can still make your character, but if someone finishes their form first after your Reservation expires, it'll go to them.

Information on the Camp

This camp will last one full summer. All the riders are of different experience levels with horses. Some will be near experts, having been riding since they can remember and likely showing in competitions as well. Others might be completely green, and have no experience at all. Riders will be paired with horses that match their experience level. A green rider will be with an easier horse than a more experienced rider to keep things fair.

The riders, or students, will be the ones training and caring for their horses every day. However, there will be intructors (rpable as side characters) who will be there to guide and supervise them. Some of these intructors will also be judges for the trails at the end. But basically, the riders will live, breathe, and sleep the camp. Of course, there will be fun mixed in though.

The horses of this camp will come from all sorts of backgrounds. Some could be grade horses or ponies, while some could have some of the purest of bloodlines or be extremely well bred. None of that matters though, because they all wound up at the same place: Tranquility Ranch Rescue. All of these horses have been overlooked at the rescue for one reason or another, and have been brought to the camp as a last ditch effort to help them find homes. Whether it be with their riders after the camp, or by someone else who saw the horse because of the camp. Either way, ther goal is to get the horses into better places.

At the end of the 12 weeks (aka summer break), the riders will all take place in various trials. The rider who does best overall will be given a full ride scholarship to the High Meadows Riding Academy, and will be able to permanently keep their horse if they wish.


The Camp Schedule

While the riders will be the ones training the horses, there is still a daily schedule and classes to be held to aid them.

Daily Schedule
*This applies to every day but Saturday

8:00 Am - Morning Bells
8:30 Am - Breakfast
9:30 Am - Morning Horse & Tack Care
11:30 Am - Group Horse Gentling/Bonding
1:00 Pm - Lunch
2:00 Pm - Disciplines Class
3:00 Pm - Individual Training Period
5:00 Pm - Individual Horse Bonding
6:00 Pm - Wind Down Period
6:30 Pm - Evening Horse Care
7:30 Pm - Dinner
8:30 Pm - Evening Bonfire
10:00 Pm - Evening Bells & Nightly Rounds


Weekly Schedule Explaination

8:00 Am: The Morning Bells will ring at this time every weekday morning, except Saturday. This is to signify that the riders need to get up, get ready, and be in the lunch room by 8:30 Am.

8:30 AM: Breakfast is held in the lunch room every morning. Different meals will be served by the culinary staff, and they will know of any dietary restrictions before hand, and make sure they are followed for that rider.

9:30 Am: Morning Horse & Tack Care is a two part class and training perod. There will be lessons in this period, as well as them actually doing the care themselves. Riders will learn the expectations for horse and tack care on the first day, and it will be upheld through the whole summer.

11:30 Am: Group Horse Gentling/Bonding will take place in a group setting, where instructors can help students begin the process of gentling and bonding with their horse. They will be exceptionally vigilant of the horses who they know are extraordinarily difficult. These classes may either go one at a time, or in a group setting of all at once.

1:00 Pm: Lunch, pretty simple.

2:00 Pm: This Disciplines class will go over the various disciplines that they could take place in. Here they will learn about them, which allow them to know which their horse will be assigned to so they can train them for it. They will have some say in what their horses can participate in, but ultimately the intructors will assign them.

3:00 Pm: Individual Training period will be the time they get to train their horses on their own away from their peers. They can either be alone, or have 1:1 time with an instructor.

5:00 Pm: Individual Horse Bonding is a period where people get to spend time with their horse. Whether to work on commands, training, etc. Or just to simply spend time with them. Either way this hour is mostly just dedicated to aiding them build a bond with their horse.

6:00 Pm: The Winding Down Period is a thirty minute session dedicated to cleaning arenas that havent been yet, putting equipment away, etc. This is also a time where if all of that is done, they are free to do whatever before they go to take care of their horse.

6:30 Pm: Evening Horse Care is exactly as it sounds. They put their horses where they need to be for the evening, feed them, etc. They also use this hour to prepare things for the following day.

7:30 Pm: Dinner, Self Explanatory.

8:30 Pm: The Evening Bonfire is something the camp does as like a socialization hour. The Riders and instructors get to relax and sit back, put their feet up. They do not have to be at the bonfire, but they can be if they. This is also the time where if they need to shower, anything else, etc. they can.

10:00 Pm: The Evening Bells signify the time when everyone needs to be in their dorm rooms. They don't necessarily need to go to sleep, however, they do have to be in their rooms. Instructors will go around and check rooms to be sure everyone is accounted for too.


Saturdays

Saturdays are the only days that do not have a set schedule unless sent out in advance that there will be some activity or competition. This means on Saturdays, the riders may do as they please. They are still expected to care for their horse, but they do not have training or anything. There is a time slot for visitation from family though, so families will come during those times to visit.

Family Visitation Hours: 11 Am - 4 Pm

Acitivities that Riders Can Do:
-Visit the Nearby Town (Shop, Movies, Food, etc.)
- Movie Night at the Camp
- Trail Ride (If they have a horse they can go on)
- Swim at the Nearby Lake or River
- Canoe or Paddle Board at Nearby Lake


______________________________________

The Camp Dorms

There are three main buildings for the camp, and then the large stables, paddocks and pastures, and the arenas. The buildings are made up of two Dorm Buildings, and another large building that holds everything else.

The dorm buildings are single story cabins that have several rooms, each set up to hold two riders. The rooms are completely furnished for the riders, so that all they have to bring is themselves and their own clothes and personal items. However, if they wish to bring their own linens, they certainly can. The rooms hold two twin beds, two dressers, two nightstands, two small desk and two small closets. Often the bed and the desks are furnished into one, so the bottom is the desk, with the bed on the top as a bunk. Each dorm has it's own kitchen and great room that all the riders for that dorm have access too. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom connected to it so that only two riders share one bathroom. The kitchens are primarily unusued for anything other than snacks, drinks, etc.

The third building, which is referred to mainly as the "Main Building" holds several things. On the first floor, and most prominently, is the lunch room where everyone eats their meals. There are multiple tables setup to accomadate them all. The room is connected directly to the large kitchen where staff prepare meals for all. There are also several office rooms where instructors and other head staff use during the day, which includes a nurse station. The second floor holds a couple of classrooms, exactly two really, though there is rarely more than one in use at a time. It also holds a Library for the students to use. The second floor holds a couple of other small rooms, but they aren't for student use. The third floor is the rooms for the instructors and staff. They aren't anything special.


The Camp Stables

While the dorms and other buildings are pretty normal, the stables here are eye catching. New and top of the line, these stables are everything an equestrian could ever want. There is one large building which houses all the horse stall, wash talls, tack room, etc. It's a long, large building with dark wood interior.

Each horse has it's designated stall marked by a name plate, with a sliding, latchable door to the inside of the stable, and a back door that leads to a small paddock of the horse's own. Some horse stalls have been specially rigged to lead to larger pastures out of safety precautions. Each stall has the necessities, which includes water and food buckets, and a spot for hay. The backdoors can be left open to their paddock, fully closed, or with the bottom closed an top open.

In the camp there are also two covered arenas, as well as two outside arenas, three larger pastures, two rounds pends, and 3 medium sized pastures. All of these and the stables take up quite a bit of space, but all are within walking distance of the dorms, the builders having utilized space in an efficient way. There are also things like several marked trails, a practice course for cross country, and more.

Need to Know Information & Beginning Posts

All the Riders of the Camp received the same invitation to the camp, letting them know what to expect and everything the camp entails. They fully know what they are getting into. However, they do not know which horse they will be assigned to yet, they will happen on the first day.

The rp will start with the riders arriving to the camp in the morning, they will check in at the lunch room where a make shift check in has been put up. They will check in, receive a map of the grounds, a page of the camp rules,and their room number within their cabin dorm. They will not be told their roommate, as they will have to introduce themselves.

Check in Starts at 8:30 Am.

They Must be in the Stables by 11 Am.

At the Stables, they will get a brief introduction from the Camp Head, and will be introduced to the Camp Instructors. This will also be their first glimpse at some of the horses. After that they will get a tour of the grounds, eventually arriving outside the stables again, where they will be assigned to their horse.

At the point, they'll have a few minutes to mingle and see their horses, before heading to lunch. The rest of the day will be a free day for them to get settled and see the grounds. The only schedule they will abide by is for meals and curfew.

The second day is when the work will begin.


For your posts, all I ask is you meet the literacy minimums, and use a header for your posts.


Thank you! And you may post!

Avery Crane
Seventeen | Female | Mentions: Kori, The Santoses

Dark eyes stared out the window in silence as the gravel beneath the tires signaled they were closing in on the camp. A quiet expression had taken over Avery's face when the switch from road to dirt had occurred, uncertainty flickering through her features. She was a confident girl, and it wasn't the camp that made her nervous. It was the possibility that she might have to room with a stranger that was. She liked her space, her quiet, her alone time, and no one understood that better than her best friend.

Her eyes drifted to the girl beside her, and a soft smile pulled at the corners of her mouth. Kori Santos was the living, breathing near opposite of Avery Crane. They had their similarities, sure, but more of them was different than similar. Kori had more short brown hair and blue eyes, whereas she had longer blonde hair and green eyes. Where Kori was wider built, maybe stocky, and had some curves, Avery was more shaped like a pole than anything, maybe a tree branch? Plus there was the personality difference, with Kor being an extrovert and Ave being the introvert.

They might have been different, but Kori understood her, and that was what mattered to her. Some strange teenage girl wasn't going to understand her quirks in the way her best friend did. They were basically un-twins.

She glanced at The Santos parents, offered a polite smile, and then turned back to Kori. "What if I get put in a room with someone who listen to Taylor Swift every night?" She half whined, half joked. Her fingers drummed lightly on the jeans of her knee, a nervous tick she had developed in school. "There is only so many times a girl can listen to that 'should have said no' song before their ears bleed," she grumbled and flopped back into her seat in a dramatic fashion, her green eyes sparkling.

Her expression became serious when the car rolled to a stop, and the doors unlocked when it was put into park. They had arrived. Quietly she unbuckled and climbed out of the car, her eyes widening a fraction as they took in the camp, all log buildings and rolling fields surrounded by forest. It was beautiful, and the sounds of horses was audible on the air, the smell of the camp something foresty mixed with the scent of those same horses. It was... beautiful.

Avery glanced at it one more time before moving to grab her own bags from the Santos' car. Silently she sent up a prayer that she wouldn't be placed in a room with someone who would make the whole summer horrible for her.

Arashi | Mare | 5 | P: Sasha | M: Bandit (ind), Open

Arashi awoke with a start, morning light filtering into her stall from her open paddock doors. She heaved herself to her feet, her eyes and mind heavy with sleep and drowsiness. The stables were almost silent, the only sounds that Arashi could hear were the soft breathing of the other horses in the stable and the quiet chatter and songs of a few birds. One even flew past Arashi's stall, it's wings spread out as it flew through the air and landed atop a stack of haybales. The bird was small, and from what the big, black, ex-racehorse Arashi could see, it was a dull brown color with some streaks of a richer brown along it's small wings and tail. As soon as Arashi neighed at the bird to announce her prescence, the winged creature flew off in a fright, one of it's brown feathers falling off of it and landing right in front of Arashi's stall. The mare admired the feather for a moment before she felt the unpleasant sensation of a flies landing on and biting her forelegs. Arashi stomped both of them and pawed, hoping to keep the flies and other bugs from assaulting her, but, soon pawing became tiring and tedious to continue on doing. The flies were also starting to swarm around the mare's back legs as well as her head and flank. She bucked, and could hear the sound of her hooves hitting the side of her stall and causing the flies around her rear to scatter momentarily. However, the little demons inevitably came back to bother Arashi after about two or three seconds. The ex-racehorse shook her short, faded black fur, scattering the dust and shavings that were on it from when she was laying down all over the place before she walked over to her water buckets, her head bobbing and tail swishing. Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, both of Arashi's water buckets were empty, not a drop of water remained. "It's so hot out," the mare snorted to herself, "and those damn humans can't even bother to fill my water buckets."

Frustrated, Arashi walked out of her stall and into her paddock, the hot, blazing, early morning sun hitting her immediately. Sweat started to drip down her chest and it soaked her sides, causing Arashi's already black coat to appear even darker, in fact, it looked as if the mare had just went for a swim due to the intensity of the heat and the sweat that she was drenched in. Arashi wanted to run, to race, but obviously the weather didn't seem to want to allow her to do that. Plus, there were not many horses out that looked like they wanted to run, but, Arashi didn't really bother to get a good look at who they were. Not that she really wanted to, because the only horse that the ex-racehorse thoroughbred Arashi liked was Bandit, who also happened to be off of the track. However, Arashi was unable to think about her because she was busy tossing her head and bucking in an attempt to rid herself of the flies. Not that she thought it'd work, but it was worth a shot. When Arashi was done, it seemed like there were only more flies attacking her. Great. Why couldn't it be some other horse?

Surpressing a sigh, Arashi decided to give up. It looked like she'd just have to put up with the bugs. They'd won this time. The mare really didn't know which season she hated more, the heat and bug-filled summers, or winters where she had to wear a blanket and her water froze and she had to rely on humans to break the ice. Arashi hated humans, unless they happened to have treats. Who didn't love treats?

Old Blue Soldier | 16 | Gelding | P: Angelina | M: Open

. . .

The matured gelding had been panicked upon his arrival to the camp a few days prior, his head tossing and loud, protesting whinnies splitting the air as he tried his best to free himself from the confines of the trailer as soon as it had rolled to a stop. He was nervous, to say the last, never associating the cursed contraption with anything good; it meant he was abandoned, and he never knew when it would be his last stop.

He was relieved, needless to say, when he'd been lead to the familiar space of a stall rather than anything that pointed to his end.

/ /

Now, as the days had passed and he'd realized this was going to potentially be a permanent stay, he was fairly relaxed and quickly fell into a routine. He was still anxious any time a human came to him without tack, or when he heard a trailer rolling into the yard, but other than that, he had no problem with his new "home".

The Cob was pacing the space of his stall for the majority of the morning so far, nickering and snorting with the occasional shuffle of his hooves or a kicking of his back legs; he had so much energy, but no outlet just yet. His head was swinging lazily, poking out from the door so he could look around any time he neared the entrance; maybe, one of these times, a human would come with some food? He didn't have much to look forward to in his old age, quite sure that he was here to retire, but the meals were certainly one of his favorite things.

Minutes had passed but no food came, so the gelding released a snort and backed away from the door, only to turn and trot outside to the paddock connected to his stall. A low nicker was released as he stepped out into the sunlight, tail flicking against his haunches as if slapping something away and head lifting tall. He looked happy, really; he was content in a stable setting, with no human coming to lead him to a stupid trailer and send him off somewhere else.

But, there was also no one coming at that moment to bring him a snack, so he was understandably a bit grumpy. "I'm hungry,"he'd complained, more to himself than truly out loud, as he lazily lowered himself to the dirt for a good roll.

Mircea Cryolar

Seventeen | Male | Mentions: Open

Indirectly : Julien , Kori , Avery

A figure at almost curled up in the backseat of a Jeep. His amber eyes were focused on his phone. The light illuminating against his face, he was immersed in a game. A grunt of frustration came as he lost the game. As he raised his head from his hunched over position he noticed how his step-mother was eyeing him in a dissaproving manner. His own eyes narrowed at the sight of this. How dare she act as if she was his mother. His birth-mother had only been dead a couple months, when his father had the bright idea to marry this wench. She didn't like anything nor understand anything about horses.

"Antonio" he heard her whine, "why do you have to have a son that cares so much about horses. Shouldn't he be in college or something working on a trade or buissness idea."

"Now Maria." his father said in a soft tone.

And that's when Mircea "accidently" kicked the back of her seat causing the woman to spill coffee all over her dress. And he had to suppress a satisfied snicker when he heard her gasp in horror. His father was a soft-spoken man, and Mircea didn't understand how he even got involved with this woman. She was a vain bitch, and seemed to want nothing from his father but all his attention and money.

"Now Maria." he said in an icy tone, "watch your tone with my father and your husband. You should stop acting like a spoiled brat." he added the last sentance in an annoyed manner under his breath.

"You are so rude to me, you- you- you little punk!" came the shrieking response, "Antonio get your son!"

"Ugh, sweetie you're making my head hurt with that shrieking of yours. And you're an adult why are you stuttering like you can't string a sentance together. Get a hold of yourself." was the response that came from Mircea, a smug expression on his face and amusement in his tone.

"Anto-" she began, but the abrupt screech of the tires stopped her from saying anything else.

"We're here." Antonio spoke.

"Thank God." Mircea breathed relieved, and he swung the door open, and quickly grabbed his bags and put his headphones around his neck, " bye dad." and he gave a soft smile towards his father before shutting the door and walking off.

"You're not going to say goodbye to me?" came the shocked voice of Maria shouting across the area.

"Now you're just being embarrasing. I'd never say goodbye to a smug, two-face gold digging bitch." and he rolled his eyes at her, watching with satisfaction as the fake smile on her face dropped. However, before he could hear her shouting his father had already driven off.

He took in the area around him. He was thrilled at the sounds and smells of horses. He'd figure that he would be enjoying their company more than the human variety. Mircea then wondered if any of his friends would be coming. He then whipped out his phone and scrolled down found a contact for Julien Devereux, and he frowned. He was a bit hesitant to text him, but he did.

Hey..where you coming to that horse camp this summer? A simple and straight-forward text. He wondered how Julien would react, since this would be one of the rare times Mircea texted first.

He then noticed two girls who seemed to arrive just before him. He would have to remember their faces for later. Instead he decided to make his way to the area for check-in. He wore stable boots, ready for whatever they were expected to do today and he wore a pair of shorts and an untucked flannel tee-shirt. His hair was thrown into a ponytial. He wondered who his roommate would be and hoped they weren't talkative.

God, please let this summer be good. He silently prayed as he moved to go signin.

Sasha Petrov || 17 || Male || M : Kori, Avery, Mircea (All Ind)

The gravel crunched underneath Sasha's dirty gray pickup, rocking the vehicle side to side with the washboard waves. The radio was off; there was no point to having it on now, anyway, as radio service had turned fuzzy about forty miles back down the road.

Sasha's stormy blue-green eyes surveyed the area in front of him with a neutral, passive expression resting on his face. Driving with one hand, his left arm was resting along the window ridge with his hand out, facing the breeze. He inhaled the dusty air and half closed his eyes, leaning back against the headrest and released the breath as a low hum.

He turned left under the Tranquility Ranch sign and parked beneath a slight overhang. The smell of horse hung heavy in the air and Sasha breathed it in deeply, reminded of his own animals. Oh, but it was just one summer away from them. He turned the key and placed it in his pocket, then stepped out with a firm crunch of his boots. Locking the door, he moved forward and into the lunch room, where he had been told to check in. At 8:29 in the morning, Sasha found a piece of paper next to a pen on a table with a makeshift sign-in sheet scribbled across the sheet.

Sasha wrote in his name and stepped back to look around his surroundings. A woman -- an employee, maybe -- smiled and handed him a map, a dorm assignment. and a whole lot of chattered information. Smiling stiffly, with a dip to his head, Sasha made his escape.

Having gone from the silence of the car to the sudden chitter of a woman spooked him to some extent, and he rubbed his forehead as he exited the building once again with the heat hitting him in the face. Faint voices caused him to turn and see two girls, one taller and slighter of build and the other shorter and sturdier, talking back and forth as they moved out of a car that they hadn't driven there. As they moved in, he slid out, briefly tipping his baseball cap to them. While he made his way back to his pickup, another male entered the main building.

Sasha pulled his black, military-style backpack out of his passenger seat and picked up the dufflebag from the floor in the back before he made his way to the dorms. Checking his paper again, Sasha moved into his assigned area and slid everything under the bed. He exited immediately, aiming straight for the barn.
