Reta Lauren Brabant
Name: Reta Lauren Brabant.
Age: Seventeen years.
Gender: Female.
Appearance:Reta has a slim, athletic build with smooth tan skin. Her hair is naturally wavy, glossy brown and falls past her shoulders. She keeps it evenly parted down the middle with her fringe framing either side of her angular face. She prefers leaving it loose, but when she is riding she always pulls it back either into a ponytail, a braid, or a fish plait. Sometimes something more intricate. Her style is quite understated. Muted colors and simple designs but with subtle hints at designer labels. Of course she keeps a few interesting colorful things in her wardrobe just to add some variety. Her shoes are usually the pop of color needed to finish off her outfits. She is also hopelessly addicted to jewelry and handbags.
Riding Experience: She has been around horses since she was born and she has been riding since she was four. (Advanced)
Disciplines: Include but are not limited to
- Show jumping
- Hunt seat
- Cross country
- Dressage
- Equitation
- Reining
- Barrel racing
- English pleasure
- Western pleasure
Personality:The first thing that you may notice about Reta is that she is intimidating. Her striking good looks and straight-forward approach to socializing give off a rather daunting vibe. She doesn't mean to scare people off, though she prefers those who don't run away from her. She can be friendly and fun to hang out with as long as you know how to handle her. She is a wealthy girl and hardly thinks anything of money so she often buys ridiculously expensive things for her friends. She knows that a lot of people are only her friends because of her looks and her money. What she really craves is someone that will see past that to the funny, interesting girl underneath.History:Riding School: Starryskys
Reta's history is nothing too special, besides the fact that her family is quite well-off. She was born on the tenth of January in California. Her family moved into a ranch shortly after she was born. Her father had always been a breeder and loved racing his prized thoroughbreds. He loved the idea of Reta becoming a rider. When she learned how to walk, most of her time was spent with the horses. There was a variety of breeds as Mr. Brabant sometimes leased his horses to be ridden competitively. At age seven she received her first pony. A handsome buckskin Connemara gelding. She named him Sonny. As she grew she learned a large variety of different riding styles from coaches hired by her father. They came from all over the world. But by the time she turned sixteen and had a party a celebrity would be jealous of she realized that she needed more than just her father's ranch. She wanted to compete. To win. She wanted to be famous. Her parents allowed her to move to Starryskys, a boarding ranch where she could turn her dreams into reality.

Horse's Name: Ombre De Soleils (Sun).
Breed: Arabian.
Age: Five years.
Gender: Stallion.
Personality: Sun is a confident stallion who tests the boundaries on everything. He can be incredibly tiresome sometimes and is hard to keep under control. But when you get through to him he is a sweet boy who loves attention. Unfortunately he is simply not cut out for Western riding, however, in English he has the potential to become a champion.
Disciplines: Include but not limited to
- Show jumping
- Hunt seat
- Cross country
- Dressage
- Equitation
- English pleasure
Appearance:Sun was expertly bred from two Arabian champions. His dam had won hundreds of halter competitions and his sire was a cross country champion, as well as a show jumper. Obviously the product of the two was a beautiful stallion who's conformation was just about flawless. He stands at 15.0hh. His silky coat is light dappled grey with a darker mane and tail. He is an extremely handsome stallion.
Vices and Quirks: He tends ignore his rider so he needs someone with a strong leg to keep him under control. He enjoys bucking, regardless of whether there is someone on his back or not.
Sample Post:The movement of her mount was fluid, flowing like water beneath her. The horse that she sat astride on was no other than Ombre De Soleils, her new arab. Reta sighed as she remembered how much trouble her and she'd had to go through to get him. All those interviews-and the paperwork! She flinched. That was something her father had insisted she do herself. Then his former owner had come over to inspect the conditions that he would be living in. Finally after two agonizing months of waiting she allowed Mr. Brabant to purchase the stallion. Since then she had only had him for two weeks. He was a dream to ride, as long as you kept him in his place. At the moment she was just on a trail ride. Nothing special. But Sun, as she called him, was becoming impatient with the energetic trot that she limited him to. He hated going slow, the show-off, but she didn't want to get him too excited. After all, they might literally run into a very surprised trail rider. It was this moment of hesitation that Sun had been looking for. He broke into a gallop immediately. Reta automatically leaned forward, lifting out of her shiny brown saddle. The trees surrounding her were a blur. She was unable to focus on one spot for more than a split second. She smiled and laughed at her crazy horse, despite the slight irritation of his immature behavior. Though Reta had a feeling that this was something he would never grow out of. Her chiming laughter filled the air.
