appearance:

Oh, her eyes. Most people find them quite plain, actually, including herself. Camillia's eyes are simple and plain, a medium toned brown. How boring! Even though Cammie isn't much one to get all obssed over her appearance, she finds herself wishing for a different eye color. She actually has nothing against her eyes, but they are very plain and don't stick out. She often wishes for her brother's eyes - green is, after all, her favorite color. But her eyes aren't all that bad. They are actually pretty, if you take the time to look at them. At least they aren't mud brown, or dirt, but a nice soft color that is warm and cozy instead of screaming manure!

Robert and Linda were very traditional in terms of how they met. People frequently claim that the two were made for each other. Both were attending a boarding school in London, however both had previously lived in the United States. Linda and Robert both came from weathly families that had only one child - so the two shared the knowledge of the lonliness of growing up without siblings. They took to each other right away, even though the first time they met was when they slammed into each other on Linda's first day of school. She was the pretty new girl, a junior, and shy so everyone was interested in getting to know her simply because she was new, a mystry to unravel even if it wasn't all that exciting. Robert was no different at first, but it was pure chance that he was bump into her then walk her to her classes and eventually start to really like her. So the two became a couple and faithfully stayed together throughout the rest of high school and even surviving college without any permenant breaks. The two were lucky at how uneventful their courtship was, with no tiring drama. After college, Robert proposed and the two got married and settled down in London. Their first child was a small blonde girl, much like her mother, named Audrey. Three years later they had a brunette girl named Cameron, and finally three years after that their little aburn son was born.

Not much can be said about Caleb in his toddler stage. He was pretty average as babies go - he cried a lot, liked to play, and had to be watched when he started to crawl, then walk. The one embarressing aspect of his baby years is that, being a baby he couldn't defend himself against his two older sisters when they insisted on dressing him up like a baby doll, in girl's clothes I might add. Thankfully, when Caleb was just around a year old, the Holm family made room for another addition. Later on, Caleb wouldn't even mind that he was the only male child since he was much closer with his younger sister, Camillia, then he was with his other siblings - perhaps because they were so close in age.

The Holm family are pretty well-to-do, wealthy actually. Robert struck success in his job with a fastly expanding company, which left them room to buy a nice house, a very large house, and he provided his children and wife with pretty much whatever they asked for. Of course, it wasn't uncommon for Mr. Holm to be at work for extremely long hours, so he wasn't home much. Linda was home a lot, since she didn't have a job, but she absolutely loved dressing up nicely and heading out with her friends. Audrey and Cameron held similar interests; who knows how many hours the have spent wandering shoping centers. As for Caleb and Camillia, well they had different ideas how to spend their time. The two older siblings tended to get a bit, annoyed when their younger brother and sister tried to hang with them, so it was lucky that Caleb and his younger sister found a hobby that Audrey and Cameron found untasteful.

Robert and Linda agreed right away when their two youngest children asked to take riding lessons, though Mrs. Holm did fret silently about their safety (like and mother would). Of course, the riding instructor of Beechwood Equestrian Center assured the parents that all their horses and ponies were safe. The two jumped right in with learning the basics, then moving on to beginner eventing. It wasn't long before Caleb and his sister had found favorites of the equines at the stables, and Rober agreed to lease Hobbit, a Friesian Sport Horse, for Caleb and a cob named William for Camillia. On these horses, and a few others, the two Holm kids steadily moved upward in their riding levels. They had showed and even won a few ribbons by the time Robert and Linda annoucned they would be moving to America. Audrey and Cameron agreed, no questions asked (they had both been longing to go to collage in New York). Caleb and Camillia were a bit more hesitant, but agreed when Robert promised they would be near a stable and even mentioned buying a horse for their own.

So the family moved to Virginia and they settled quickly. Caleb and Camillia were enrolled into Cheny Falls, where they would meet their small group of friends (Jay, Nashi, Malory, even Jude). Caleb even formed a new interest. Though he loved eventing, Cheny Falls also had a small western group, which looked really new and interesting to the boy. Of course he had to try it, and though he found holding the split reins in one hand a bit confusing at first, he soon got the hang of it. Camillia tried it, though she prefered jumping and dressage.

As we already said, Cheny Falls is where Caleb met his best friend, Jay Aldridge, and Camillia met two girls who were already close, Nashi Riku and Malory O'Connor. It wasn't long before the fivesome became a close group of friends - they were all interested in the same kind of riding - eventing mostly, western a bit as well; all of them also went to the same school, though Linda was forever trying to get her kids to enroll into private school (they refused of course - honestly, who like to wear uniforms to school?). They all also had the same favorite instructor at Cheny Falls - Jude Hemmingway, who was in collage at the time. (They also took jumping lessons from his mother). When Caleb was around fourteen or so, Jude agreed to lease his own horse out to the young student. Caleb was shocked and pleased - he adored the handsome bay warmblood who was talented and well trained. He couldn't help but feel flattered that Jude trusted him with Hardy-Har-Har, and he always thought that the collage student just need someone to ride the gelding while he was in school and once he graduated, the two would continue to compete.

But no, just a year later Jude explained he was pleased by how well Caleb and Hardy got along, he offered to sell the gelding. Of course, Caleb was surprised, but Robert payed for the warmblood and Hardy became Caleb's first horse of his own. Caleb continued to train on the gelding, moving up a riding level on the horse. They got along great, and Caleb realized he had never gotten on with a horse like he did with Hardy. It was long before Camillia got her own horse, and just a year and a half later, Caleb made his next buy. He started to help a trainer who trained gaited horses, especially Spotted Saddle Horses. Caleb would exercise a few and he was shocked by the striking difference between gaited horses and regular horses. He had always known gaited horses had different paces, but he hadn't expected them to be so smooth and gliding. It was around this time that he met his next equine love, a tall and lean Spotted Saddle horse named Windfall. The mare was a palomino pinto, which of course won Malory's effections, but Caleb convinced his father to buy Windy for him. He suspected Robert felt guilty for not being home often, because the man agreed, again, without much question. Just recently, Caleb got interested in mustangs after learning the history of the Nakota horse, which was the breed of one horse belonging his friend Jay owned. He somehow discovered websites on the Spanish Mustangs and was fasinated. He made his last equine buy just before his group of friends and he moved to another stable. His new horse was a beautiful little grulla horse he called Lily; she is a three year old Spanish Mustang and Caleb is absolutely smitten with the little beauty.

[ lyrics of eire]

basic:

registured name: Lyrics of Eire
barn/ nick-name: Lyric
breed: Irish Sport Horse
age: 10
height: 16hh
gender: mare
owner: Camillia Holm

training:

disiplined: eventing
training level: well trained
being trained:

in depth:

short description:
Lyric is Camillia's pride and joy. She is a heavier horse than the light weight Claire and the lean Mozart, but is pure power. This mare is built for jumping and she is very talented. Cammie absolutely loves her face, which has a slightly roman nose and large brown eyes that are always soft and gentle. Born a black filly, Lyric is slowly graying and is currently a dark dapple gray with patches of various shades of gray and silver. Her cropped mane is still inky black, but her tail has lightened and her face is the lightest part of her body.
short temperment:
Camillia simply can't say enough about her first horse. Lyric is very smart, the smartest Camillia has seen she sometimes claims. She is so calm, that one horse in a lifetime. She is the sort you would trust with a young infant crawling around her hooves and yelling with even flicking an ear. Lyric is also known for her affectionate ways, like resting her chin on your shoulder, pressing her head against your chest or softly nibbling at your hair, your safe harbor when you run out to the barn with tears running down your face. She is generally known as a push-button and bomb-proof horse, if such things exsist - at least she is for Camillia and Lyric doesn't usually get ridden by other humans. In Cammie's opinion, Lyric doesn't have any vices - of course, she is biased a bit.

[ mozart's finale ]

basic:

registured name: Mozart's Finale
barn/ nick-name: Mozart
breed: Hanoverian
age: 3
height: 16.2hh
gender: gelding
owner: Camillia Holm

training:

disiplined: basic eventing
training level: still quite green
being trained:

in depth:

short description:
Hanoverians are known to be beautiful and graceful. Yes, Mozart is beautiful with his red-gold chestnut coat and his well-bred conformation. He is even called cute with his nearly white face and mohawk like hair due to a haircut that was accidently cut too much - whoops. But with his long legs and still babyish awkwardness, Mozart would quite yet be called graceful. His long legs get him over the jumps, but his dressage still looks lazy and he needs help sometimes regaining his balance. Of course, he'll go into himself - he is just like a rather large child.
short temperment:
Mozart usually provides the comical acts to Camillia's mini-herd. He is so very proud of himself when he manages to grab something in his mouth, or open his stall door. He is famous for side stepping a jump or wiggling himself out of a dressage move, which isn't always that humorful for Camillia. Even so, he is still a very sweet boy. He likes attention and apples and loves having his neck rubbed. Mozart isn't as affectionate as Lyric since he doesn't have the patience to tolerate someone wrapped around his neck, but he makes you feel better in his own way - usually by turning up his lips or acting like his spunky self.

[ clair de lune ]

basic:

registured name: Clair de Lune
barn/ nick-name: Claire
breed: Swedish Warmblood
age: 5
height: 15hh
gender: mare
owner: Camillia Holm

training:

disiplined: eventing, also knows some western pleasure
training level: intermediate
being trained:

in depth:

short description:
Compared even to gorgeous Lyric and beautiful Mozart, Claire claims attention simply because of her color. There is something about buckskins, but even without her coat color the little Swedish Warmblood would be a looker. She is small for her breed, but her conformation is impeccable. She exells at jumping - especially loves the cross-country - and her legs are long and strong. Her face, also on the small side, is simply sweet looking (her ears are a bit too large though). Back to her color. Camillia usually describes it as butterscotch and it is a bit darker than the traditional buckskin, but beautiful. She has no white marks and all of her points are the darkest of blacks.
short temperment:
Maybe it is a trend among mares, or maybe Cammie is talented at picking females that don't act "marish", or not as much, but Claire is about as sweet as Lyric. She loves people, espeically children but the fact that they usually bring treats is probably part of the reason - she does have a habit of going straight for the pockets. But, being young she still has her "spazz-out" moments. When she first gets in the paddock, she likes to gallop in circles and buck. It takes a few circles in the ring to settle her down when riding, and jumping usually gets her all excited, so beginner riders are out for her. But she does like to turn her head and touch her nose to your boot, as if checking up on you.
