Many riders from across the world send out a form in the hope of being accepted into the famous Riverside Crescent Only 16 are accepted.
The stables currently own 21 horses. You may wonder, why have 16 riders when you have 21 horses. Well, between the two foals, a young mare just beginning her training and an older stallion and mare which belong to the stable owner and instructor, that's your reason.
The riders will stay in the big house in dorms. They have one person sharing with them in their dorms and they will be expected to not cause hassle.
Punishments will be taken seriously, they won't be having injured horses. Riders will be assigned their horses and if they don't get along, things will be changed around. Sometimes the lessons will mix up and they'll be given different horses.
Pupils will be expected to complete their schoolwork too or they will be asked to leave. They place isn't just about riding, some pupils don't even participate in that.
Small competitions may be held a few days during their stay but by the end of it, they have the choice to compete in the Olympics. Most people jump for it, others don't.
Horses and riders journey towards the day they'll finally reach the Olympics.
But, only if they're side by side.

Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarmComplete

The Eventers Club
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...Complete
Hooves on the Heart: Book 1 Start of Steele
The Fagan family has always loved horses, and now they're making their lifelong dream a reality-starting a horse farm in Tennessee, specializing in race-bred Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Fagan and their five children: fifteen-year-old Khloe, fourteen-year-old Noel, eight-year-old Nathan, and five-year-old twins Allie and Ariah. Khloe is heartbroken about leaving her home and friends in Kentucky, but the excitement of owning a horse farm-especially the chance to have a horse of her own-makes the move easier. She has dreamed of this moment for as long as she can remember. But there's one problem: her family's budget is tight, and they can only afford to buy mares for their breeding and training program. While accompanying her dad to a horse auction, Khloe stumbles upon a stunning dapple-gray Quarter Horse mare-her dream horse. But this mare isn't just wild-she's been abused, broken, and has lost all trust in humans. Now, Khloe faces two challenges: convincing her dad to buy the mare and, if she succeeds, proving to the frightened horse that they are meant to be. But with a horse this damaged, the journey won't be easy. Can Khloe earn the mare's trust, or will someone get hurt in the process?Complete

Millionaire Roll
Millionaire Roll with all it's beauty and glamour on the first Saturday in May. Some male guest are getting a little too flirty with the head of security. She has planned the perfect appetizers and cocktails worthy of their money. Sure the horse American Pharaoh is the favorite. Some are asking the woman dressed so elegantly what horse is coming in . She tells them to bet on the seven letters that ends with an -o-. That is a huge myth put out by the paddocks every year. She already has numbers and money passed to her by her illegal bookie . He got those bets from the poor in the ghetto slums. She too once lived in Smoketown. Now she promises the ones left behind she will deliver them huge piles of money.

The taste of Lou'a'vull. The Runnin For The Rosei . The balloon glow and all the chaos in the infield. Sneaky patrons trying to sneak their own liquor through the gates. They can not afford the new Fire Kentucky Bourbon or Wood Reserves the state is known for. Everything is sky high during Derby Weekend. The murder rates goes up . The Police get more into crooked mess more than the crooked guest. The main thing is taking the knowledge of who's coming in for the $2 million dollar purse. It usually is the number 6. Don't forget about Oaks Day . The day for the fast track for the Fillies. Put your money on the Fillie always. So the hostess with the mostest is having a grand ole time. But they had better quit patting her on her huge button. Her main squeeze is not liking it a bit and he got ways of dealing with the elite trash. She better behave herself or Derby May Day May Day.
