Tantamount
Nice to everybody, a little stubborn, and yet has a very determined nature.
" I grew up on a small farm out in the middle of nowhere in England with my parents. Being an only child, I did a lot of work when I was young, and learned a lot from the lack of money we normally had. I've grown accustomed to never taking things for granted, especially Tantamount, the love of my life; the entirety of my pride and joy. I flew to the United States and moved into the city with my friend and her parents after my own family could no longer afford to keep me at home. My love for the equestrian life was undying, though. I was lucky enough to have an equestrian center nearby, bought my pride and joy off of my friend, and instantly stabled Tantamount there. "
Devon, England
A silver cross that her parents gave to her as a little girl, which she is never seen without. It's either clipped onto the bridle of the horse she is riding, or she is wearing it around her neck on a small, petite sliver chain.

Show Jumping and Cross Country
He is just as determined as his rider, and has a huge heart. He is one who enjoys the spotlight when working, yet when he had those few precious moments to himself, he spends the majority of his time laying about in the sun or frolicking around with his friends in the pasture.
Relaxing with friends
Bright flashes and obnoxiously loud noises
Trumpet's Sound [TB Sire] X Chilli Winter [TB Dam]
Sissy Boy, the name the gelding bore before being bought by Ashlie, hadn't lived the best life. He lived on a fancy ranch where thoroughbreds were broken and trained to race. People had high hopes for him due to his high pedigree line, yet he never seemed to live up to his ancestors greatness. Despite his amazing form and gait, he had no interest in racing like a good racehorse needed direly to be successful. Because of this he was used as an ego-booster for other thoroughbreds, raced head-to-head and forced to loose. He was bought by Ashlie's friend, who thought no different to change the humiliating name. She trained him well, broke him into jumping a little before Ashlie herself took him up into arms and gave him the wonderful name Tantamount after his past, since he still fought on. She trained him further to jump, and led him onto off-terrain courses until he grew accustomed to jumping on things other than expertly-raked sand.
Gonna just... Nonchalantly make another horse... -w-'

Registered Name - ISH Dance on, Darling
Shortened Name or Nickname - [Dear] Harmony
Age - Eleven Years
Gender - Mare
Breed - [ISH] Irish Sport Horse
Height - 15.1 Hands
Weight - 1, 062 Pounds
Temperament - 7||10
Specialty - English Pleasure and Dressage
Charisma - Normally, the mare appears to be very calm, and always has her mind in the right place. She has been known to buck if riled up, though it is very hard to get her so excited unless she is being turned out. Harmony is known to always be chosen as lead mare of the pack due to her dominance over others, or her urge to do so within the herd.
Favorites - Trail rides, open arenas, classical music, grazing
Dislikes - Loud people/children, sudden movements, other mares trying to take dominance over her
Family - Blackberry Benjamin [ISH Sire] X City Lassie [ISH Dam]
History - Harmony started off her life at a fancy Equestrian Center, where foals started training almost right from the start. She was passed down through her early years, since she was always given as a good beginner horse. Someone took her in and started her on the Cross-Country pathway, which she stayed on for a majority of her life. Almost four years back, though, the poor mare was almost being used as a Thoroughbred on a racetrack. Finally, the big ol' company pushed her a bit too far past her limits, and when she was taking a long jump, followed by a bounce down a bank into a pool of water, her rear fetlock (I believe that's the term) buckled beneath her from years of strain and she slammed her hindquarters into the wooden log, scratching up her back legs horribly. She was dragged over the log from the momentum, because she couldn't stop her free-falling form, her front legs landed on the grass and dragged forwards. She was able to get one leg up over the small indent where the concrete began, but her left hoof caught on the slab. It flipped her upside-down, shattered the cannon bone, and cracked the hoof wall on her left leg pretty badly. Not to mention she took about a two-meter tumble into a shallow pool of water, landing on her back no less. Ashlie bought the mare and over the next few years nursed her back to the best possible shape I'm her condition. Even so, Ash didn't want to risk the old wound coming back, and so she only uses the mare in pleasure competitions, save for a few dressage if the girl thought her horse was up for it.
