Alias/Nicknames: Del
DOB/age: February 29, 1996; 16 years old
Gender: Female

Appearance: Delta has straight, honey brown hair, which she enjoys braiding and experimenting with. She also will dye her hair bright colors to reflect her rebellious nature. Everyday she has a different hair style, so expect to be surprised. Her eyes are bright green and are a stark contrast to her light brown hair. They may or may not scare you when you first meet her. She's been told her eyes sometimes scare small children so she emphasizes them with very dark or colorful mascara as a joke.

Her skin is only slightly tanned and scars run up and down her legs from running around outside so much. Most likely she will have drawn a horses collage all over her arms and legs. Her nails are always painted a bright color. She is short only 5' 4", but this doesn't deter her from any activity. She makes up for height in strength and personality.

She dresses somewhat dull for someone who loves bright colors. She wears mostly browns and greys, but adds a pop of color in sunglasses or necklaces. She has numerous necklaces and scarves of all different colors which wears in random fashions. Most of her shirts are logos or pop icons. Flannel is also a big portion or her closet.


Personality: Delta is a free spirit. She does whatever she wants and doesn't care what others think of. Although she does feel this way she does stay mindful of others and tries not to offend them. Although she will stick to what she believes is right. She has strong morals. She tries to keep a fiery, creative, and cheery face to brighten others day. Her strongest belief is creativity.

She also has a soft heart. She takes pity on creatures less fortunate or smaller than her. Animals take up a huge space in her heart and horses are a large part of her life. She paints and writes her feelings and expresses herself freely. Don't be afriad to be yourself and shine around her. She always has a way to bring the best out of people.

She may seem a bit crazy to you, but I assure you she is of sound mind. She has gotten top marks in everything but science (do we really need to know the difference between protons and neutrons?). Never count her down in anything.

History: Delta was born in Italy on February 29, 1996. Her parents lived in Venice for five years before while her dad worked. Her older brother Tobin was five when she was born. When they got back to the U.S, they found a new home far away from their old Montana home in Kentucky. Delta grew up in horse country and developed a love for them from a distance.

Delta has always loved horses, but actually started off by doing gymnastics. She was on the elite path since age six. A friend actually introduced her to vaulting when she was seven and she quit gymnastics and started training in vaulting. She began with group vaulting and gradually progressed into singles. She also excelled in jumping.

Her first horse was not her own but a training horse and White Falls EC, her first equestrian center. Her name was Goldie and she was a palomino Quarter Horse. She raised enough money to buy her from White Falls and she never got on another horse. To Delta's horror Goldie died a few years later as she was an older horse. This left Delta heartbroken and she vowed never to get on another horse again. Of course she could never forget horses and started working at a barn as a groom two months later. There she fell in love with a horse just about to be sold in auction. This horse's name was Allegro or Up the Scale. She is a palomino Thoroughbred.

She and Delta trained together since then which would be five years. Delta had never actually though about going to Olympics she was just training for pleasure. But, one of her coaches recommended her for an Olympic level camp and the staff there recommended her for SBS. She originally turned it down, but after her parents started having problems at home she agreed to get away from them.

Name: Keller Preston
Alias/Nicknames: Kelly
DOB/age: 17 / November 19, 1994
Gender: Female
Appearance:
[image error]
Keller has lightly tanned skin from having lived in Hawaii for most of her life, though she doesn't know it. She has scattered freckles, which she gets from her ginger mother. Her figure is pristine and built from surfing with her three brothers, two older and one younger. She often works out with a close eye from her older brother Shawn, which has earned her toned abs and strong legs. She has a hard core from riding almost everyday. She has poised posture and nimble hands, good for riding english, but provide a firm grip for her western heart.

Keller's face is shaped as an average girl, rounded with high cheek bones. Her lips are naturally pumped, though others beg to differ. She has pierced ears and is almost always caught wearing earrings of all shapes and sizes, but mainly smaller studs. Her hair is dirty blonde with painted honey low lights. Her eyes are an out-of-focus blue, cloudy and contorted. She has never seen her reflection before, for she is blind.

Although blind, Keller still would never be caught wearing bright colors. Neons and rainbows are never in season for this girl. Pastels and plaids are her game, as she has been raised upon it. Colors are smells to her, the brighter they are, the more pungent the aroma. She is generally wearing jeans or a silky skirt. Blouses and tshirts are her game and she is never caught without her necklace, a gold chain with a charm on the end that has a heart with footprints swept across it.

It is miraculous she can do the things she can, provided that she is impaired.

Personality:
Keller usually keeps to herself. She confides everything in her seeing-eye dog, Gem and her beloved, young barn cat Tears. She is very secluded and often is made fun of, so she has become shut down. She doesn't trust easily because of past events, but she is very trust-worthy and loyal. She doesn't have faith in too many things, for she is scared of putting it all on the line.

However, Keller is a very independent girl. She owns her life and will never let you know any different. She hates pity and sympathy. She tries to see eye-to-eye with everyone, but has her own way of disagreeing. She often agrees to disagree. She doesn't like being stuck in the middle, or being dead last. She is a leader and enjoys being up top. She look at her disability as a strength and never lets anyone tell her different.

History:
Keller was born a healthy, perfect child. She had two older brothers, Shawn and Dallas. Shawn is now 19 and Dallas is 22. Her baby brother, Tyler, was born two years after her, making it worse in her situation. She was a perfect, well-mannered kid, the top of her class in elementary and the dream of most parents. She had to be, to make up for everything her brothers had done and would do.

That was until one day when they started taking Keller surfing. She was a natural, a pro. She could take on any wave at just seven-years-old. It wasn't until Keller's ninth birthday that the incident happened. She was surfing as usual when a bigger wave came down the horizon, straight into her zone. Everyone was heading to shore, shouting at her to join them and move away, for it was her younger brother's first day out at sea. She ignored them, being it almost the first time she had deliberately disobeyed. She made the wave for a moment, only to crash down in the next. Salt water burned her eyes, blinding her vision which was never to be revived.

Keller was doomed ever to ride or surf again. This devastated her, for riding and surfing were her life. She could not help train Zander, her mother's new mustang, anymore. For the next year, Keller was kept under close surveillance around the horses and the water. After learning how to surf again over the year after that, she was finally allowed around the horses at age eleven. She was put on top of Zander, who was now fully trained in natural horsemanship, and led around by a lead rope. She had side-walkers, treated like a therapy rider. Over the next two years she was taught to ride again on Zander, soon going from three helpers to no help at all. The first time she galloped without help in three years was described by Keller as being reborn.

Years later, when she turned thirteen, Keller was provided, at long last, with a seeing-eye dog. She was a short yellow lab named Gem for her mysteriously bright eyes. They were a match made in heaven. Two years later she was given the choice of choosing the family's new barn cat from the litter of kittens the other had just given birth to. She picked a dark striped kitten and named her Tears for her thick fur just around her eyes. When Keller turned sixteen, she had the privilege of going to help pick out her own horse. She picked a dapple gray appendix, trained for her kind of needs, names Read Between the Lines. Keller calls her Pages.

Keller was often made fun of at school for her blindness and people over looked just how talented she was. She had learned how to ride again with her blindness as a strength, being able to envision what was there and then memorize it ever more easily without the distractions. She became hidden and shut down by the tortured comments and actions directed towards her. Coming to this academy, she hopes to regain what was lost and make a new start to her old life.

Name: Aspen Adams
Alias/Nicknames: Nepsa (by her close friends)
DOB/age: DOB - July 16, 1994 Age - 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Aspen is your typical white girl.

Aspen cannot tan. Anytime she even tries to do so, she gets freckles and burns. She has never done an artificial tan, except for her senior photos and her olympic profile shoot. Aspen is usually quite pale for someone who lived in Florida for five years. She is very fit for a horseback rider and takes pride in her physical appearance. She usually wears jeans or breeches to show off her legs. She wears bright an array of colors plastered to tight shirts to give her curves some appeal. She is never caught without her boots!

Aspen has a beautiful outward appearance, mainly in her face. She has full lips and lashes. Her ears are pierced and always have some kind of studs in them. She has milk chocolate eyes that seem to melt away if you stare into them long enough. She has freckles scattered across her face, of course. She is most proud of her ginger locks that are naturally flippy, but in a cute way that is tamable. She has no problem untangling the unruly mass of mane on her head, but there is always a problem curling it, which she loves to do. She usually has her hair pulled back, or flowing lightly over her shoulders.

Bon Cheval
Belle Aspen
Personality:
Aspen is head strong.

Aspen was always stubborn. She became ever more so when she was abandoned. Aspen fends for herself most of the time. She tries to rely on no one else and do things herself. She is very independent and will not openly announce that she needs help. She is overly confident sometimes. She seems to be "all that", that is until you get underneath the shell.

Aspen is scared. She lost everything at a young age, a very difficult age to do this with. She doesn't trust easily and has no desire to build strong relationships, feeling as though they will all crumble like they have in the past. Aspen has trouble talking to others and is very shy, even though she hides it. She secretly wants to find someone that can understand her and that she can open up to.

History:
Aspen was born right outside of Paris, France. She lived in a small cottage with horses and sheep as her family's main income. She was the second born to the Adams family. Oliver was her older brother, five years older than her. They got along like best friends, all ways there for each other.

Aspen learned the english discipline of jumping but age eight, having already cleared a three foot jump by age ten. She was a prodigy, the next big thing. She could clear almost any jump flawlessly, even over three sheep at a time. That was until her brother graduated and Aspen was thirteen.

On Aspen's thirteenth birthday, her parents were struggling financially with Oliver's college. They thought it would be best to send Aspen away, out of love and hope for a better life for her. Aspen took this the wrong way. On the day she was sent off to the states, she never looked back. Aspen took this gesture as her parents disowning her. She would never trust again.

After months of language therapy, Aspen finally had the hang of the english language. She used to and still does speak with a very strong french accent, but it was understandable. After learning and getting caught up in school, a transfer family took Aspen in until she was seventeen. Aspen only put up with her transfer family because they had horses and taught her to vault.

When Aspen tried out and was accepted to the SBS, the family rewarded her with the filly she had been helping train for almost two years. Aspen thanked the family for all they did for her, but she had faked it for so many years. She had never lover, or even liked her transfer family. Only the other french transfer that stayed with her and the horses kept her sane. The other transfer, Natia, quickly became her best friend and earned her the nickname, Nepsa.

Now, Aspen rides for SBS proudly and wears a french flag charm around her neck. She wishes to speak french openly to another rider, but is afraid of blowing her cover and becoming loyal. She would never be willing to put her heart and feelings on the line ever again, not even for Natia. Aspen is forever changed.
