The Fall Auction

[Lottii]

Welcome to the Fall Auction
Just a couple of things to remember, students and staff may own a maximum of four horses and students can only own stallions and foals with permission from me. Enjoy xD

[Lottii]

Lot 1

Show Name: Light This Fuse
Age: 10yrs
Gender: Stallion
Color: Chestnut
Breed: Namibian Warmblood
Height: 17hh
Personality: This horse's large size and exuberant nature mean he can be a lot to handle, not forgetting he is a stallion. He can be rather strong on the ground, and to ride, but if you can control him then he is a magnificent show jumper.
History: The stallion has traveled around a bit in his life, bred in Namibia and then exported to Germany as a two year old, he has spent his life on top yards. Last year he was exported to the UK, where he somehow found his way to the auction.
Discipline: Show Jumping

Owner: Melody Clover

[Lottii]

Lot 2

Show Name: Barrel of Laughs
Age: 15
Gender: Mare
Color: Gray
Breed: Quarter Horse
Height: 15.3hh
Personality: This mare is a quiet horse who loves going out on the trails. She likes nothing better than spending a day chilling in her paddock. Barrel Racing brings out the spark in her, and she has competed at a high level.
History: Bred on a ranch in the US, she grew up being trained by the ranch owner's daughter who wanted a new barrel racer. Living a comfy life she competed all around the world and ended up retiring from top level in England. She can still be ridden though, she's just not up to jetting around the world competing several times a week!

[Lottii]

Lot 3

Show Name: Euro Phonic
Age: 3 years
Gender: Gelding
Color: Bay Tobiano
Breed: KWPN (Dutch Warmblood)
Height: 16hh
Personality: A sensible and steady horse for his age, in a way. Lots of things faze him, but given a little confidence from his rider once and he will never be scared of them again. He hasn't developed any vices, and is a pretty uncomplicated guy.
History: Bred on a yard producing Warmbloods for dressage and jumping, he was sold a few months ago to an older woman who has now gone into hospital. Being moved around a bit has unsettled him slightly, but he will calm down once he realizes he can stay somewhere for a while.

[Lottii]

Lot 4

Show Name: What The Dickens?
Age: 8
Gender: Gelding
Color: Dark Bay / Black
Breed: South African Warmblood
Height: 16.1hh
Personality: This guy is a little on the timid side. His past has made him wary of new people, but once he trusts you he if friendly and loving. He finds it harder to trust men than women. To ride, he is a dream, he feels like he is floating on air.
History: He was exported to England as a yearling, where he was passed from pillar to post. Little is known about his past, but he has several (healed) scars and his added hesitance around men make it clear he has been poorly treated somewhere along the line.

Lot 5

Show Name: All Trussed Up
Age: 7
Gender: Mare
Color: Dapple Gray
Breed: Holsteiner
Height: 15hh
Personality: An honest and genuine mare, she tries hard to please humans in everything she does. Sadly mistreatment means she is terrified on men, although she wouldn't dare be aggressive she runs and shakes if a man tries to come near her.
History: Bred on a stud farm specializing in Holsteiners, she was sold a youngstock and spent most of her years on a training yard. Two years ago she was sold to a man who expected her to be perfect when she was still learning, and now she doesn't dare step out of line.

Owner: Cara-Jean Kitchi

[Lottii]

Lot 6

Show Name: Dizzy Riot
Age: 5
Gender: Mare
Color: Bay
Breed: Bardigiano Pony
Height: 13.2hh
Personality: This mare might look cute, but she has a typical pony nature. At 5 she has already picked up bad habits of bucking and rearing when she doesn't feel like doing something - which, to be fair, is quite often at the moment. If she had a good bond with a rider, she would improve over time.
History: Very little of her history is known, only that she was originally bred in Italy, had numerous owners from when she came over to England a couple of years ago, and her latest owner couldn't handle her.

Owner: Aaron Gillet

[Lottii]

Lot 7

Show Name: Now You See Me, Now You Don't
Age: 2 years
Gender: Gelding
Color: Dun
Breed: Miniature Horse
Height: 28" (7hh)
Personality: This gelding absolutely hates people, he nips and bites if you go near him. He tries to be bolshy - although most people are strong enough to stop him - and he can be quite aggressive.
History: No one knows the story behind this little guy, a vendor turned up at the auction with him, sold him to another vendor for £20 and now they don't want to take him home.

Owner: Evan Locke

[Lottii]

Lot 8

Show Name: Stylish Mistress
Age: 9
Gender: Mare
Color: Chestnut
Breed: Connemara cross Thoroughbred
Height: 14.2hh
Personality: A mare terrified of everything and rather underweight (not shown in pic). She has an amazing talent for jumping though, if you can stay on past her spooking.
History: Her history is completely unknown, although it is guessed that she has been abused in the past due to her nature.

Owner: Cara-Jean Kitchi

[Lottii]

Lot 9 - Part 1

Show Name: she is unnamed
Age: 7 months
Gender: Filly
Color: Black
Breed: Arabian cross Friesian
Height: Will mature at approx 16hh
Personality: A cheeky little foal who wants to be in everything and see everything all the time. Very friendly, she will need teaching some manners otherwise she will be difficult when she gets older.
History: She was bred privately and is now being sold with her dam for the first time in her life. Can be weaned now.

Owner: Harry North

[Lottii]

Lot 10 - Part 2

Show Name: Black Magick
Age: 3
Gender: Mare
Color: Black
Breed: Arabian cross Friesian
Height: 16hh
Personality: Black Magick is slightly cheeky, more like a pony. She is friendly enough, and enjoys being with people. Despite being hand-reared herself she has made a good mother with her current foal, and could be put in foal again around now. She has never been broken in, but she would probably be similar to ride - a little cheeky but overall well-behaved.
History: She was bred a slight experiment by a private breeder who owned her parents. When she was 2 years old she was put in foal to another Arabian cross Friesian and spent most of her life not doing much.

Owner: Harry North

[Lottii]

Lot 11

Show Name: Faded Sun
Age: 12
Gender: Mare
Color: Chestnut
Breed: Batak Pony
Height: 12hh
Personality: The small pony mare seems to have given up on life. If she responds at all it is with fear. Most of the time, she just lets you do whatever you want, she doesn't even hope anymore.
History: Fade was rescued almost 6 months ago by a kind woman who had brought her up to a healthy weight and healed her wounds, but she can't do anything for Fade's mental state. Knowing lots of students will come to the auction, the woman hopes to find someone who can take her on and help bring her back to life.

Owner: Remii Locke

So I put out my hand and I asked for some help
(We tore down the walls I built around myself )
I WAS STRUCK BY THE LIGHT AND I FELL TO THE GROUND

Harry led a tacked up Casey out of her stable, and mounted her in the yard. Hacking down the road at a steady trot, it took less than 10 minutes to reach the Auction House. As he dismounted, he smiled knowing Remii would be coming down later. Tying Casey to a ring on the wall for that purpose, he gave her a rub between her eyes and slipped through the doors.

As he adjusted to the change of light, he was struck by the presence of a large chestnut that must be at least 17hh. Not the sort of horse he wanted, he carried on moving around the pens, paying attention to each horse, and making a fuss of the ones who were stood near the front of their pen. A bright chestnut quivering with a mixture of fear and excitement caught his eye, around 14.2hh was about the smallest size he looked reasonable on now, after his growth spurt over the summer. Making a note of her name - Stylish Mistress - on a piece of paper, he decided he would see what Remii thought before he made up his mind on her.

In the next pen along, a foal which resembled Whisper at that age stood, lipping the door. Grinning, he made his way up to the pen and ruffled the filly's fluffy forelock. The foal's dam wandered towards the front of the pen at that point, not wanting to miss out on a fuss. As he took in their body shapes, he realized neither of them were purebred Friesians as Whisper is, but crossed with an Arabian. A vendor tapped him on the back and spoke gruffly "Do you want them or not?" In response, Harry drew a fistful of bank notes out of pocket and handed them to the man, guessing he had paid around £200 for the pair. To his surprise the man agreed. "There yours", came a deep toned response before the man stumbled away.

Pleased with his purchases, he spent a little longer with the pair before making his way out of the Auction House to check on Casey, and of course, wait for Remii to arrive.

is still burned in the back of your mind
------------------------------ you gave me roses and i left them there to die

She instantly regretted picking Riddle to ride to get to the auction house. The mare rocked back on her heels as they started down the drive, her whole frame shaking in anticipation. Remii pulled at the reins sharply, and the mare straightened up some what but the girl knew that it was going to be an eventful ride. She urged Riddle past the large sign outside the college, but after that it seemed to be plain sailing. They rode through town, only one hiccup when Riddle decided that a rubbish bin was the scariest thing in the world, and arrived at the auction house. She saw that Harry and Casey were already there, and the goofy smile appeared on her face at the sight of him. She sped up Riddle to a trot, which she obliged to instantly. As soon as they reached Harry's side, Remii dismounted and tied Riddle up as quickly as possible. Riddle, happy to stand still for a while, nickered a gentle greeting to the other mare but offered no more. She knew how flighty Casey was, and didn't want to worry the mare. Remii pat the Gypsy Vanner's thick neck and then directed her attention to Harry. She wasn't sure whether he was her boyfriend yet, or if that was even able to describe the feelings they had for each other, but he most definitely stirred feelings in the pit of her stomach that she never knew existed. She reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, reaching up to place a kiss on his cheek. There were no words spoken, but they didn't need them.

"Anything caught your eye yet?" she scrawled on her palm, she still had not learned from her lesson in the barn. When she caught sight of the scarring on her palms, he realized what she had done. A chuckle escaped her, as she glanced up at him. They were walking toward the auction house and she paused inside the door, waiting to follow where ever he took her to.

Harry noticed Riddle and Remii hacking down the road from a little way off, and a slow smile started to spread, widening as she got nearer. The colored mare trotted the last section of the road before the auction house, which made Harry chuckle. The goofy grin which Remii only ever seemed to use for him was on her face, and he couldn't help but feel elated at the mere sight of the girl. Harry stepped forwards into Remii's hug, joy flooding his emotions. He returned the kiss to her cheek, worried if he did any more he would get carried away, which although he wouldn't mind, outside the Auction House was probably not the best place. As his thoughts went back to whirring, he realized at some point he would actually have to draw up the courage to ask if she would officially be his girlfriend, but for now the horses were stopping those thoughts.

Reading her palm, he pulled a pen and two scraps of paper from his pocket. Handing one blank piece straight to Remii, he knew she most likely had a similar piece lurking in her pocket anyway, but he wanted to prove his point. His eyes sparkled as he wrote on the second piece, slightly fearful of her response. What do you want to see first? The horse you will want to save, the horse I want to save, or the mare and foal I brought already? He looked at her face as she read his note, waiting for the first trace of an emotion to show in her beautiful features.
