don't really feel like it sorry
MENTAL;;Personality:
Tara is a fire cracker. Once she gets to know someone she is very sarcastic, a trait most people have when they're guarding a wounded heart such as herself. She will be there for anyone, even if she doesn't know you all that well. This broad is a stickler for someone to keep to their word, if you break it then theres little chance in getting any sort of respect back. Whenever she has issues with her back or arthritic hands she puts on the best poker face that she can, she isn't one to like people to be sympathetic towards.

PAST;;History:
Tara was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee into a horse family. Both of her parents where world class show jumpers, unfortunitly her father never really cared for Tara all that much. As a child she began riding at 3 years old, learning how to do hunters at first. Sarah, her mother, didn't want Tara to do jumpers until she was older. Throught her youth she had her own ponies and would travel with her parents, competing at hunter shows near by. Since her parents were both from wealthy families she was always allowed to enter the Medal Classes. Along the rode she was home schooled since she would be away for so long it was pointless to try to do the make up work. At 14 she got Lucky, her welsh pony that she still owns today, the pair competed at the Maclay when she was 15, they placed fifth but they returned the following year winning 4 of the qualifying shows as well as the show itself. Afterward she started competing in jumpers with Lucky, dispite his drive to compete he just wasn't as fast as the other horses, seeing how hes just 14.2 and everyone else at their level were riding 16hh+ warmbloods.
At 15 her mother allowed Tara to pick a broodmare and stallion to breed for her own horse, thus becoming Clue who she still owns. Unfortunitly Tara took a nasty fall at the Jumper Classic in Hamilton, Massacusetts on her mothers horse Hickstead. Tara fell on a 4'9 oxer, broke her back and it hasn't been the same since. By the time she healed Clue was 2 1/2. While training Clue she would ride her mothers youngsters, getting their names known in the jumper world, not only the horses but her own name as well. Tara got all her school work done early, graduating at 17 since she never took summer breaks, only christmas ones. Her mother would make her get up early, finish things with horses then get right to the school work. Although Sarah loved seeing her daughter excell at riding she wanted Tara to have a great eduation and a back up plan just incase Tara ever wanted to do something outside of the horse world.
Shortly after graduating high school, Tara started college in criminal justice, her father didn't like this and has since refused to talk to her. At 19 her mother died. Inheriting her money Tara moved to Viginia with both her horses. Shortly after her 21st birthday Tara graduated college with her bachalors in criminal justice. Following that her doctor tld her she was getting arthritus in her hands. Tara dislikes when anyone gives her sympathy for her medical issues as well as when people treat her differently just because her parents were sucessful show jumpers. On the side she continues to work as a K9 officer with her black German Shepard, Rugar, while she still competes in jumpers. Just recently, as in a few weeks, she has moved to Foxtail Creek Stables.

At 3 she started riding him, in dressage til he was 5, then for a year and a half she's trained him to be a jumper. He's ability to jump wasn't noticed til you jumped him over 3 ft.

Tara competed him in the hunters up until Level 2 (Fences 3’0” to 3’3” in height and 3’3” to 3’9” in the spreads, Triple bars/liverpools to 4’3” ). Just because he is small in stature it never put a damper on his performance. Lucky has terrmendous heart and quite the jumping ability for a lil guy. Currently she leases him out, sometimes she will show him in hunter but she likes to have Lucky be a little girls favorite pony just like how he was hers.
