Ride Beside Me | ᴋ. ᴅᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ
She doesn't chase love. She runs with it. Aspen Hayes never needed a man to steady her hand or soften her world. Raised on dust, hard lessons, and the back of a blue-roan mare, she built a life where grit beats luck and loyalty means everything. She isn't here to be admired. She isn't here to be chosen. She's here to win - and stay free doing it. But winning in this world means more than clean runs and fast turns. It means land. Legacy. Bloodlines and boundaries. And when a quiet-jawed cowboy with eyes full of trouble steps into her arena, Aspen feels the earth shift under her boots harder than any horse ever has. He rides like he's outrunning ghosts. He looks at her like he's finally found home. And he stands between her and the one thing she's sworn to protect - control. To love him, she'd have to ride beside him. Never behind. Never second. And Aspen Hayes has never followed anyone. Some cowgirls were born to lead. Some hearts were built to run. And some love stories ride in at a full gallop - daring you to hold on.

*Currently PAUSED for the time being* +*{REWORKED/REVAMPED VERSION}*+ Amber Mintz was born and raised in Houston Texas, USA. Not coming from a horsey family was hard for her growing up in the equestrian community. She developed a love for horses at the age of five, and that's when she met her: Dandelion. A stunning palomino-pinto Anglo Arabian. Amber had a talent for horses. She excelled at whatever she did and soon became a well-known rider in the community. At age 9, they bought Dandelion. She continued to blow everyone out of the water with her skill, riding especially well in eventing competitions. By age 14, she was competing nationally and was selected to partake in the Olympics when she turned 16. Overjoyed, she and her family pack for the memorable moment. Dandelion was also pumped, and they set out for their destination. Back at home after the Olympics, Newspeople crowd around her small quiet lesson stable. What used to be a peaceful place to ride has now become a picture-perfect danger to horse and rider. A horrible accident sends Amber's reputation as a rider and her social life plummeting. Stress and pressure claws at Amber, and she feels overwhelmed, like a spout with too much water. Then, an opportunity: A quiet island off the coast of England. They quickly find a place to stay and a stable to ride at, but is this island as peaceful as it seems? Will Amber's troubles follow her everywhere she goes? Will she ever have the confidence to compete again?

Blue
Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.Complete
