[edit] Characters
[edit] Sarah Whitney
Leader of the group, Sarah is eleven years old, smart, outgoing, and a natural rider who has been riding ever since she was five. She is from a wealthy family and often tries to hide the fact she is rich so others will like her for who she is, instead of her money. While upbeat, sometimes she can be insecure about herself and her abilities.
Sarah's horse is Scarlet, a black Arabian mare who is leader of the herd thanks to her fearless and regal attitude, though she can be moody at times.
[edit] Alma Rodriguez
Alma is twelve years old and comes from a tight-knit Hispanic family. Her father has worked as the overseer of the stable-hands at Horseland for over ten years. As a young child, Alma often pleaded with her father to take her to work with him so she could see and play with the horses until she was old enough to go by herself.
Alma's horse is Button, a skewbald Pinto mare who is mischievous and often plays tricks on her owner and the other horses.
[edit] Chloe Stilton
Chloe is a twelve year old and extremely competitive young girl, especially with her sister, Zoey. She is extremely confident and likes to let other people know of her talents. She has a huge crush on Bailey and is into clothes, make-up, and loves to look great when she rides.
Chloe's horse is Chili, a Grey Dutch Warmblood stallion who shares Chloe's spark of confidence to the point that he feels he is the most talented horse in Horseland.
[edit] Zoey Stilton
Zoey is twelve years old and Chloe's sister. Unlike Chloe, Zoey takes a sneaky approach with her competitiveness. She can often be found trying to find a way to get her competition to back down and drop out of the contest, or even sometimes sabotaging their performance. Like Chloe, Zoey has a crush on Bailey and is into fashion and make-up.
Zoey's horse is Pepper, a Grey Dutch Warmblood mare that is quick-tempered and can be a bully towards the other horses.
[edit] Molly Washington
Molly is an eleven year old African-American girl who often deals with life's problems through humor. She is very funny, charismatic, and a free-spirit. She makes fun of herself and sometimes the other kids, which causes them to get annoyed at the fact she doesn't seem to take much seriously. However, Molly can become serious and ride a horse just as well as the others when her friends are counting on her.
Molly's horse is Calypso, a spotted Appaloosa who is amiable, laid-back, and affectionate.
[edit] Bailey Handler
Bailey is twelve years old and also the son of the Horseland owners. He is sometimes a troublemaker and often takes many risks and gambles, rarely considering the consequences of his actions. He is the object of most of the girl's affections and loves animals, especially horses.
Bailey's horse is Aztec, a Kiger Mustang who is very brave and hot-blooded, but is also hot-headed, a daredevil, and a big risk-taker.
[edit] Will Taggert
Will is fourteen years old, which makes him the oldest of the group. He is Bailey's cousin and has lived with Bailey's family ever since he was a little boy. He often acts as the big brother figure to the rest of the kids, especially Bailey, and is often in charge of the ranch when Bailey's parents aren't around. He loves to listen to country music, ride horses, and can be seen always dressed in cowboy garb.
Will's horse is Jimber, a powerful Palomino stallion who has a similar commanding presence on the other horse's like Will does for the kids
