Welcome to Crooked River Ranch! You are visiting for the summer to go to a Western Ranch camp where you will learn how to do all sorts of western things like, roping, reining, herding cows, good old plain western riding, and all sorts of other ranch skills as well. Your councilor and teacher for many things is the owners daughter (Jessie, me). All the ranch men know you are here to learn so they will be teaching you many skills, but what they don't know is that there is a herd of wild horses nearby that the campers have been watching. Will the soon-to-be cowgirls catch then tame a wild horse like they are planning and scheming to do? Join and find out now!!

Other info: The girls are ages 12-17. I know the age range is youngish (atleast compared to other RPGs) but thats what I decided it would be. We can start as the girls just get to the airport to be picked up :)

Facilities: There is a nice large pasture for the mares and one for the stallions, (although there are only a few stallions). Each pasture has a small shelter to keep the horses out of the wind and rain. A nice large yet simple barn is located at the hub of the ranch and has enough stalls for all of the horses. There is a bunkhouse for the ranch foreman and the hands. A cattle guard bridge goes across the river which runs in front of the ranch. The ranch house is where the owner of the ranch, his wife, his son and his daughter (to be decided) live (Jessie only stays there when campers aren't there). You will be staying in a nice cabin with room for 6 girls, one of them being your councilor. The cabin has a bathroom with showers in it, as well as an extra lounge room/possible dining room inside it.

All of the horses the girls will be using are the ranch's already owned horses but I will let you make up a horse for your character to use. A ranch person will assign you the horse you made, so it will be yours for the RPG. There are several other horses at the ranch which everyone can use if it is needed. Please, no stallions for the campers, geldings and mares only. (the guys can have stallions if they truly wish)

Although there are no guy campers, the ranch owner has a son who is around the age of the girls (someone can play him) and two of the hands are also around the girl's ages. Everyone can play the other wranglers/owners of the ranch but don't let any one of them become your character. :)

Rules:

No OOC fighting

Listen to the leaders, you can rebel somtimes but don't always

Please be real

I will kick you out if I have to, but please don't make me!

Ask before joining

No perfect riders, the camp is supposed to help you improve.

Romance is allowed but don't let it overtake the RPG

Have fuuuunnn!! :D

Can I join as a camper? :] I have no western experience, but it sounds fun.

~Form human~

Name: Ashleigh Farden

Age: 12

Girl or Guy: Girl

Pic/looks: Strawberry blonde hair with freckles, about 5'3 with long legs.

Status at ranch: Camper

Horse: Cherokee

Other: No past riding experience at all, very shy, hoping to make friends. Lives in Oklahoma with 2 sisters and foster parents. Original parents were killed in a car crash. Foster parents sent her to camp to have her open up a little and not be so shy.

~Horse form~

Name: Cherokee

Gender: Gelding

Age: 26 [still in terrific shape]

Height: 15.3

Picture/Looks: Bay with white star and stockings on all four legs.

Other: He's a grade horse [AppyxConnemaraxQHxMorgan] xP He was previously a ponying horse on the track, then a polo pony, then a dressage horse, then a jumper and then he was bought by a famous western reiner who taught him western. Soon, the guy became too ill to ride and sold him to Crooked River, where he has lived since he was 17. He's generally used for the beginner riders because of his personality, though he sometimes kicks.

Sure to both of you! :D

Since I have atleast some western experience (and unless someone comes along and really wants to be her) I guess i'll just be the ranch owners daughter instead of a camper, i'll edit my girl's form so she's the ranch daughter. We'll probably get to start alot sooner that way as well :)
