Riding History: Riley has been riding his whole life, although through the whole time while parents were still together, he rode exclusively western. He had a passion for speed, and generally excelled at barrels and poles, but failed to harness much talent for roping or the like. Up until his acceptance to Hollow Aspen ,he often rode out on trails, whether his parents knew about it or not, and jump anything that came along, bare-back, mind you.
When his father remarried his current step mother, who was an former eventing instructor, he was forced to abandon his former discipline to take on daily lessons for eventing. Although he eventually learned to enjoy it quite alot, he still would sneak in a few casual pole bending session in the evenings. Riley also exclusively rides mares and stallions, because more than often they were alot more competitive, and work oriented than a calm gelding ever was in his experience.

ABOUT YOU...
Name/Alias: Malia
Age: 17
Years RPing:I don't quite remember, but at least 7 years. (this doesn't include too much human rp or forum rp, but still rp in general)
RL Horse Experience: I'm an intermediate/experienced rider, and have been riding since I was five. I still lack strength in my legs though :I. I currently two horses, first, a mare named Love who's about 21 and was my first horse when I was 13. My second is a gelding named Roman, who I've had for about 4 years now, and will turn 11 this coming year. I have trained him from green broke to jumping 4ft. Since then he has had problems with his feet and legs and I have not ridden very much lately.
Example Post:
Riley stared with focused baby blues at the pattern. The small paper was crumpled and dusty from the windy weather that had graced the competition grounds that day. First right, circle wide. Then back around to the middle for the first oxer. Sweet, I've got this in the bag. A wide grin spread across his pale face, giving away confident mindset. The appendix stud shifted impatiently underneath him, and Riley tightened his grip on the mahogany brown reins, backing the horse up a bit.
Taking hold of his reins with his right hand, brunette highschooler brushed his left over his chest, until finding the right pocket of his well fit charcoal jacket, slipping the the worn paper inside. Now taking hold of the stallion beneath him , boy let his right elbow slide back, pulling his ride off towards the arena. Navigating his four legged way through the other competitors, Riley cooed encouragements to the brute beneath him. Soon our time will come, Lad.
