Greetings,
The staff over here at Mallow Grove Stables are pleased to say that you have been accepted into the new learning program we are starting this year. You are required to bring your own change of clothes, a horse, any tack, grooming supplies, and any other necessities with you. We will be able to supply you with a stable, a school horse if needed, a shared cabin, food, and anything else you may need. Please be prepared with everything ready and arrive at the area by 5 PM on the 14th of September. There, we will give you more details. We hope to see you there

The Area
The area around Mallow Grove Stables is a large and lush forest, dotted with a handful of trails for riders to go on when they need a break or just want to explore. At night firefly's can be seen throughout the area and various Badgers, squirrels, rabbits, and even sometimes deer inhabit the area. We advise some caution however, as a small group of Fox and wolves also live in the woods. Riders are advised to be prepared incase of an attack. The stable and cabin area is sectioned into 3 parts with 1 barn in each sector and the main house in the middle attached to the dining area. The cabins surround the main house and the barns can be seen clearly from the windows of the cabins. The indoor and outdoor arenas are the closest to the barns, the Show Jumping Arenas and Cross country course are a two minute walk, and the race course is the farthest from the area. Of course, riders are free to just hop on their horse and ride there to get to the area faster. The 3 pastures we have are scattered near the riders lounge and are a minute walk to get there

Program Information
Mallow Grove Stables has been struggling to attract riders, so they have decided to start up a brand new program in hopes of sparking interest. A select 18 riders will get accepted to try out this brand new program. The program you ask? Riders will be assigned a partner to stay with and keep check on during your stay. Your job is to learn as much as you can about your partner's discipline and at the end of the year, compete in our annual competition to show your improvement. Please keep in mind scheduling times and days to work with one another is up to you and your partner. We cannot constantly remind you. The stablehands will be around in case you need some help with something, but you are still responsible for your horses wellbeing and health. We wish you all the best of luck.
Available Disciplines
Show Jumping
Dressage
Cross Country
Barrel Racing
Ranch Sorting
Reining
Rules
- Be respectful to your fellow roleplayers
- Hate the character not the person
- All WP Rules apply here, in the discussion, and the roleplay thread. Follow them
- Write at least 200+ words, this will be a semi-lit RP
- Try to be descriptive, give people something to go off of
- Absolutely no 1 liners
- No OP characters
- 3 characters per person
- 1 horse per character, you may not only play a horse
- 3 warnings, then you get a ban
- Keep things realistic, they shouldn't be a pro at the new discipline and know every single thing about it in just 2 days
- Keep things interesting! I'm all for that lifelong bond a rider has with a childhood horse but seeing something different too can keep the roleplay spicy :)
- If you would like to drop the RP at anytime then please PM me so I can open a spot for someone else
- You may use curses, but try not to do it every sentence
- Keep it PG 13
- Reservations last 24 hours after you post the start of your form
- Do not harass anyone outside the RP, that will be an instant ban
- Cause some drama in the RP only, it will help move things along
- If you use images credit them properly! Images from Deviant art or your own art only
- I reserve the right to reject any forms if they violate any of these rules
