[11.7.08]
So finally after a few weeks of working on Vincent Academy it is finally open to the public. Me, Flower, and Bree all feel this site is going to be a big hit after we get some advertising around. We have been starting to advertise and hopefully it will lead to plenty of new members. Thanks everybody for all of your hard work!

Freezing. You have about three blankets to throw over your horse at night, and in the morning when you go out for a quick ride, a heavy jacket is a huge must. Although some days are nice and warm , that is quite rare, and is not seen very often. Leaves are burying the ground at the moment, and with every step you make a small crunching sound is usually heard. Hey, think of it this way, it'll only get colder in the Winter.

favorite treats;Carrots and sherbert favorite food;Grain full personality; Dani is a gentle and loving horse. She is the type of horse that constantly seeks the attention of her owner. She loves to stick her head over Amber's shoulder in a sort of hug thingy. Dani, when she is scared of something, will freeze and refuse to move. Often the only way to 'unfreeze' her is to push her from behind.
Dani is also gentle towards strangers. She loves being the center of attention so will often, when people are in the barn, do anything possible to get noticed. She has been known before to open her stable and walk up to some one and nudge them for attention.
the world revolves around us keep it all going
mother;Heartland, 16, Hanoverian father; Gold Fever, 18, Hanoverian full history; [100 Words, please] Dani was born in Germany. Her sire is the Olympic Showjumping legend Goldfever. Ironically when her breeders free jumped her as a youngster it soon became evident that she had absolutely no talent in jumping. Her breeders not sure what to do with Dani decided to put her out to pasture fore a year to see if the mare needed to mature for her jumping to develop. After a few months however they saw that the mare had excellent movement for dressage. They decided to wait until the mare was four before they would even let anyone lounge her.
When she did go into schooling she started to blossom. After Dani had been in training for two years, Amber's father bought her for his daughter to ride.

Quote:
Suzette gasped when she saw the skinny bay Thoroughbred being led out of the barn, she wasn't sure what it was but something about the horse seemed to scream out look at me I am a champion. Suzette turned to the man who owned the horse and asked “ So who is his sire?” The man turned to her and muttered “Sailor Prince, he is apparently a big deal in the Southern hemisphere but from what I've heard all his offspring turned out as duds.” Suzette immediately recognised the name and replied “But they all turn out to be brilliant jumpers” The man shrugged obviously not bothered about showjumping.
She shook her head and said “So can I try this horse out or what?” The only reason why Suzette was looking at ex-racehorses was so that her parents could have money for the farm they were developing. The man muttered “Sure whatever.” Suzette walked towards the horse immediately noting that he seemed to be giving the groom a hard time, she flinched for the horses sake when the groom wacked the horse in his face. She slowly approached the horse while she murmured softly to him, his ears flickering in her direction. “Hey can you stop muttering sweet nothings to this beast and get a move on!” the groom snapped at her breaking the moment. Suzette frowned at him as she took the reins from him. She lead the horse to the mounting block and mounted him. He immediately tried to take off expecting a whip or a kick. She stretched up, closed her knees and soothed the horse with her voice. Suzette soon felt the horses tense muscles relax beneath her, almost as if the horse was sighing with relief.
Suzette then gently squeezed him forward and turned him towards the small sand arena next to the barn. She walked the horse on both reins before she asked him to trot, she immediately picked up that he would need a lot of work. Suzette after a few minutes changed rein to she how he trotted on the other rein. When Suzette ask the horse to canter he immediately rocketed forward as if he was expecting her to make him gallop. She sat up and soon felt him settle into a steady canter. After he seemed calm she changed rein and asked him to canter on the other rein, although he still rocketed forward Suzettte could feel an improvement. Suzette then decided to try and take the horse over the small cross to see how he jumped, as the horse landed he tried to take off almost as if he was going oh my gosh that was fun lets do it again. Suzette then took him once more over the cross and decided that that was enough. She brought him back to a walk and started to walk the horse cool.
Once Suzette was done she dismounted the horse and started to lead the horse back to the barn. As she started leading the horse he gave her a small rub with his head, this last action seemed to make up Suzette's mind that she was going to buy this horse. She felt this horse deserved it, under that rough exterior was a diamond waiting to come out and shine. She walked back to the owner saying “you never told me my new horses name.” The man seemed to be gasping at this comment, but managed to say “Hurricane, Hurricane Earl.” Suzette smiled at how the name suited this big guys personality perfectly.
