Historias de Eventing

Sabrina, a 14 year old equestrian, is heading to high school at the elite, all-girls institution, Timber Creek Academy, and she's not sure what to make of it. Coming from a low-key public middle school, it's a big change. She is excited to start off fresh, but she's worried when getting good grades is harder than she thinks and making enemies is easier than making friends. The only thing she knows she's certain of is her horse, Leo. Will she make it at this elite institution, or will her and Leo go back to comfort at their old home?

Seven Horses. One Prodigy. The Bracing Weight of a Dynasty. At sixteen, Louise Charlotte Laurent is already a phenomenon in the cutthroat, elite world of international European equestrian sport. Operating under the unforgiving "Intensity Level 12" expectations of her legendary family, she isn't just riding for ribbons - she is carrying the suffocating weight of an empire. With five extraordinary horses directly under her saddle, conquering the breathtaking art of Grand Prix Dressage, the high-speed thrill of Eventing, and the death-defying gravity of 1.60m Show Jumping. Meanwhile, two prized horses from her parents' string wait in the wings, destined to play a vital role in her future. To the flashing cameras and the roaring grandstands, Louise is an untouchable machine. She is flawless. She is unbreakable. But beneath the pristine show jackets and the glinting gold medals lies a dangerous truth. The pressure to remain invincible is a ticking time bomb. Guided by the fierce, solitary of fellow riders Laura and Sophie, Louise must navigate the blinding heights of success while fighting against her own limitations. Because in a world where true horsemanship demands absolute perfection, the hardest athlete to master isn't the half-ton stallion beneath the saddle - it is the one staring back in the mirror. In the arena, victory requires iron willpower. But outside of it, survival requires an anchor.

Run. Run faster. Run harder. Run until your legs give out. Run until your heart stops. Run until you can't. The life of a Thoroughbred. My life. From potential champion to auction horse. From polo pony to wild mustang. From project horse to dressage mare . From glory to the gutters. My name is Charm. This is my story.

Belle Harvey's life revolves around horses and when she receives a letter from the Cavallo Equestrian College saying she has been accepted, her life changes for the better. Along the way Belle must overcome many challenges, but in the end she realises, all that matters is the ones she loves.

She was never meant to be easy. An overdone five-star eventing mare with a reputation that followed her like a warning sign, too sharp, too strong, too unpredictable. Once produced by an Olympian's program and aimed at the highest level of the sport, she had everything it took to succeed... until the wrong hands pushed her past the point of trusting anyone at all. After a failed lease, over-jumping, and pressure she was never built to carry, she became the horse everyone talked about but no one wanted to ride. Not anymore. Then Kallie showed up. She wasn't new to horses like this. Not the talented ones. Not the difficult ones. Not the ones who had already learned how to say "no" in every language they knew. Because sometimes the hardest horses aren't broken, they're just waiting for someone who understands what it looks like on the other side of the fence. And sometimes, that changes everything. A story about pressure, power, and the line between a horse that won't try... and one that was never given a reason to.

Fifteen year old Lyndsey Parker has everything going right for her. A great horse, a spot on the Junior Eventing Olympic team and a perfect boyfriend. But when a devastating barn fire destroys the life she knew, everything changes. She must heal a broken body, broken trust and broken confidence to rise to the top again. With pressure from her team and the media to get back out and win rises, and she doesn't know if she can do it, was this a wake up call that she should hang up her helmet and vest for good? My heart seemed to want to explode from my chest as it beat against my rib cage like a wild animal. I couldn't seem to be able to breathe as my entire body and mind seemed to be in a state of complete and utter shock. It was as if time had suddenly frozen around me and my body had yet to catch up to present time. The scene that lay before me seemed like something out of a movie, or my dreams...make that my worst nightmare. I stood looking at once was the barn, my family and my home. Sparks cracked and sparked in every direction, smoke filled the air with its rancid sting and the wild fire roared as if it were alive from inside of the barn. Horses screamed in agony into the dark of night as I stood stunned too mortified to move from where I stood.

Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend. ...Then she meets Ashleigh Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend. ...Then she get's a job at Eves stable. Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot. Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...

This is a place to store my stories from my Horse Art Role Playing Game (HARPG). I will post links to the associated art piece in the external link as well as at the bottom of the piece so you can find it. This isn't for points really and all of that is just a story of a barn and all the people that board/live there. There may be an actual storyline later but right now it's just a lot of little snippets and stories from the lives at this Arizona barn. Also maybe some Rey/lo coded characters too...
