Furcadia Name: Jesse Foster
Character's Full Name: Jesse Ethan Foster
IC Age: 23
Species: Human

IC Experience: This was another basic job at Jesse's old career, since his personality was social and his people skills are exceptional. He's generally very compatible, and knows plenty about the safety of the animals, of beginners, and so on. Though his memory would have to be refreshed about the order of tacking, he otherwise knows what to do when teaching people gaits and such. For skills, he can teach beginning jockeys as well.
OOC Experience: As a kid, I've had six weeks training in how to take care of and ride a horse. It doesn't seem like much, but since I live in L.A., it's a rare find. I've been dragging my family on trail rides on vacation as often as possible, and though I hate saying so, I've been placed as an advanced rider on each ride. On top of learning all the basics, I've studied the positions used in jumping--which, unfortunately, I never performed--and I've dealt with a few crises.

Sample 1-Paragraph Roleplaying Post: [preferably use a post you've actually used in roleplay; look in your logfiles] Jesse Foster frowned when Slew did not respond, neither moving forward nor twitching in acknowledgement. Maybe the old boy was just uninterested at the moment. Hearing Rose greet him, the Australian pivoted, smiling ackwardly, remembering his messup about a week earlier. "Why, 'ello Rose." He grinned, replacing his nervous smile with a charming smirk. "How've you been the past week?" It took a second, but the blonde eventually noticed the arabian beside her. "'Ello there, mate." He laughed. "You got quite a pretty lil' stallion on yer hands there, sheila." Yeah, yeah. He never called her sheila before. Namely because that was a "pet term" for female friends, anyway.

Hours Generally Available Online: Refer to the trainer application? xD ::too lazy::
Why We Should Hire You: Because you need a riding instructor, and really, I think a dream as popular as TREC should have some lessons available for IC beginners or, even, OOC beginners. Not everyone owns or gets to ride a horse, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to on Furcadia. Otherwise, the accent's sexy, isn't it? Don't you want to hire that accent? :(

EDIT: Hired! xD Welcome to TREC.

Sample 1-Paragraph Roleplaying Post:


Suluk rain her fingers down the large buckskin colts tangled main. Careully running through the maze of strangled mat. She pats places her rough hand on is shoulder. The colt shook with surprise but she held her ground setting her other hand more softly on the wift of his forelock that nestled softly parted across his forehead. His large amber eyes dug softness into her heart,not either moving not even to blink out the fuzzies.

[Mariah deMontigny]

Furcadia Name: Mariah Demontigny
Character's Full Name: Mariah Lynn deMontigny
IC Age: 22
Species: Human

IC Experience: Mariah was born and raised on a farm out in the country. She was given the spot as main trainer there when she was of the proper age. (for more details about her living on the farm, please refer to my training application.) With being trainer, she also allowed herself to be open to the owners about their horses, giving them the honest truth about their horse. She was always willing to suggest horses, evaluate, and even give some lessons. She took many students from her barn, and some who weren't, and either gave them a horse of hers to ride or set them up on their own horse. Much like her love of horses, she loves seeing a great pair learn together and pull through.
IC Preferences: Mariah is mostly a western girl, but knows how to ride English as well. She is great for anyone - beginner to advanced.
OOC Experience: From my many years of experience in 4H, I have always been involved with a variety of kids. I have always helped at the ride days, giving some private tutoring to those kids who aren't as skilled as the Senior or Junior riders. For many of the Seniors, they are experienced and participate out side of 4H, so when they arrive I am always up for giving them a new challenge. Even when I was younger, and even know, I gave my friends a ride on my horse every time they came over. Now, I give lessons for $15 an hour, to anyone and everyone. I will occasionally let them use my horse. At my training barn, I have experienced and watched many lessons, so I have learned teaching skills from my trainer by watching her deal with all sorts of people who are different in their own way.

Character's Current Furcadia Description: Tall, slender, welcoming young woman. She has lots of equestrian experience and is always out to do her best and please the people. Her determination has gotten her several victories in the show ring as well as training in the stables.
Sample 1-Paragraph Role playing Post: Mariah slipped the ruby red halter over the three-year-old's slender face and led her out to the round pen. She walked to the center, unclipping the lead rope that linked her to the filly. She picked up the whip and urged he filly to the rail of the pen, always staying behind her shoulder as encouragement to keep moving forward. After several laps of trotting, she clucked her into a canter, still staying tall and not letting the filly stop. Around and around the filly went, reversing towards the rail whenever Mariah stepped in front of her shoulder, until she finally lowered her crown and began licking her lips. This was what Mariah had been looking for, the exact signs. She released the whip from her grip and stood still, her back facing the sweat lathered filly. The horse stopped, and faced Mariah with great curiosity. She began to slowly walk near the two legged creature, eventually sniffing the scent from Mariah's shoulder. Mariah slowly turned around, rubbing the filly on the forehead as a sign of trust. Everything that Mariah had worked for the past 6 months was finally beginning to pay off...

Hours Generally Available Online: On weekdays I am working until afternoon at my trainer's, but I still have 4 hours at the very least of computer time. On weekdays I have practically all day, but I am trying to cut back from my 12 hour days on the computer. So for weekends, I am shooting at 6 hours (minimum).
Why We Should Hire You: I believe that you should hire me to be your riding instructor because I have plenty of OOC experience and am willing to help anyone and everyone. I also know how to evaluate horses based on the ability of their rider to see if they are the right horse for them. Because of my OOC experience, I can truely help others online and give TREC the realistic feeling.
