 The atmosphere stood dead still, not daring to make a single shift. Riders held their breath while the judge deliberated their round. It was a simple flat class; walk, trot, canter, reverse and repeat. Who knew that something so simple could take seemingly hours to announce the results. A horse somewhere down the lineup chomped on his bit in a nervous manner, but remained standing square like the rest. Then a voice came over the PA system, "And first place goes to..." First, second, third, and fourth were announced before your name was called. Fifth place. Last place. You sigh as you reach down to pat your horse all over and turn toward the gate to collect your last place ribbon.
"The color of the ribbon doesn't matter. I know we did our best. And all that matters is that we tried our best and reached our goal of working together."

Here at Ironstone Farms, America's premier English riding facility. Riders from all reaches of the Earth apply, but only the best get a chance to come ride and train with the best. The best part is, everything is free. There are no fees to be paid, you get a full ride. All you have to do is bring your personal items.
Upon your arrival, you will be placed into one of the four houses and supplied with a horse to ride, train, and show. When the show season rolls around, the four houses compete against each other. Each rider earns points for their house when they place at a show. At the end of the year, the top house and top rider are placed into the Hall of Fame.
Horses are always being imported and new riders accepted. So please take a look around, and if you like what you see, feel free to send in an application!
