Show Name: Dark Lady Barn Name: Sonnet Age: 9 Gender: Mare Color: Grey Breed: Tersk Height: 15 Personality: Sonnet is friendly and spunky. She acts like she is twice her size and will happily boss the other horses around when in the paddocks. On the ground under saddle she has beautiful manners. However, she is a mare, and does have her off days when she will kick out and buck if she doesn't feel like doing what is asked of her. History: Other than here, Sonnet has only ever known one other home, and because of this she is very settled. She was born on a farm, much to the surprise of her dam's owners and lived there under the love and care of the family until she was sold to Park Equine College at the age of three.

Show Name: Wood Sprite Barn Name: Sprite Age: 6 Gender: Mare Color: Dun Breed: Criollo Height: 15hh Personality: Moody and dismissive. Should it be a day when Sprite doesn't want to work, she will either stand in the middle of an arena and do nothing or she will sit down, rider and all. On the ground her manner could be better as she doesn't stand nicely, and is known to nip so watch where your fingers are. It is said though that she has a very nice jumping ability History: Life wasn't too bad for Sprite, she was breed to be a champion show horse. With a bad handler though, those plans crashed to the ground. Because of her unwillingness to work, she shifted homes a few times before she ended up here.

Show Name: Cat's Pajamas Barn Name: Whiskers Age: 10 Gender: Gelding Color: Bay Breed: Thoroughbred Height: 17 Personality: Whisker loves to jump, no matter what it is - this includes paddock fences should he feel the need to do so. He loves working, and bonds deeply with his rider. He needs to know though that they are a team, and when in a competition he quite often needs reassurance that he's not alone. History: Whisker was born in a racing stable. As his sire hadn't been running so well lately, no one wanted the gangly yearling so rather than continuing him as a racehorse they retrained him for pleasure riding. It was then that his owners discovered his talent for jumping. He has been here for the last couple of years. Discipline: Jumping Owner/Rider: Park Equine College Assigned Rider: Alejandra Delco |

Show Name: Drummer Boy Barn Name: Drummer Age: 5 Gender: Gelding Color: Black Breed: Ariègeois (also known as Merens Pony) Height: 14 Personality: Stroppy is the best word to describe this boy. Everything he does, it with an argument. There are days when he will do as asked without a hesitation, and then other days he pulls the defiant pony act and will throw a fit without a moment's notice - and no one knows what sets him off. Another thing to note, is that he will do anything to get out of work! History: Drummer's training was handled by and old cowboy, who did things the "proper way". This poor guy was tied to a post with one leg tied up until he submitted to saddle and bridle. He then moved around from place to place and ended up at two other riding schools before Park Equine College agreed to take him on.

Show Name: Blaze of Light Barn Name: Blaze Age: 7 Gender: Mare Color: Chestnut Breed: Thoroughbred cross Height: 15.1 HH Personality: Blaze can be a little feisty, she always wants her own way and is often a typical moody mare. She has stunning form over jumps though, and would excel as either a hunter or jumper. She rides fairly nicely, although she has little experience for her age. Her stable manners are good, albeit a little grumpy. History: Blaze was bred on a small stud farm specializing in top jumpers, and she was brought along slowly and carefully by them, they recognized her potential. They went bankrupt last year, and a snobby girl took an interest in Blaze, but lost interest pretty quickly. So the groom has been sent to sell her here. The college has just bought her from the auction. Discipline: Jumping, Hunter Owner: Park Equine College Assigned Rider: Lily-Mae Redman |

Show Name: Raspberry Ripple Barn Name: Ripple Age: 15 Gender: Mare Color: Bay Breed: Welsh Pony cross Warmblood Height: 14.2 HH Personality: Ripple is a lovely pony, ideal for someone looking to get into hunter/jumper riding. She has a sweet disposition, loves children and rides beautifully. If you tell her to do something, she'll do it - no questions asked. History: Ripple was bred at a riding school from one of the school ponies. When she started to show a talent for jumping they sold her to an instructor who used her for teaching beginners in jumping. Since she was 10 she has been passed around a bit, but she still goes nicely around a course of jumps. The college has just bought her from the auction.

Show Name: Petite Fleur Barn Name: Pet Age: 6 years Gender: Mare Color: Gray Breed: Welsh Pony Section B Height: 13 HH Personality: Pet is quite a shy little mare, she flinches at things easily, but doesn't do big spooks or anything. It's something she will probably grow out of as she's only six. She goes beautifully when ridden, holding herself nicely naturally and she has wonderful form over jumps. History: Pet was bred to be a jumper for a specific young girl, but when she lost interest then the trainer just wanted rid of her - hence her being here.
