Nicknames: Kayla, Kay

-------------------------------
From the Outside.
-------------------------------

Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'7"
Markings: Ears pierced, no other significant scars
Overall Apperance: Kayla got the good genes for clear complexion and pretty face and gets a mild high out of looking her best. Her face is an almost perfect oval, except for her chin which comes to a slight point. She's got a straight, medium-sized nose that ends in upturned nostrils. Her blue eyes are spaced a little on the wide side and are a little on the small side, but Kayla tries to correct that with makeup. Her brown hair comes reaches four or five inches past her shoulders and curls a little at the bottom, a style achieved through many years of experimenting.

Her clothing style varies greatly from public to riding. When she's in school, or shopping, or anything like that, it's the latest trends. Kayla has a penchant for high-waisted everything and heels, but that is by no means all she wears. At the barn, she can be found in jeans, boots, a sparkly belt, and a close-fitting tee shirt or tank top.

Fears: Breaking a bone, losing her family
Hopes: Start jumping, become a successful trainer
Secrets: She's not really come to terms with her sexuality and tries to hide it
Personality: As pretty as she is, Kayla doesn't have much of a public personality. She tries hard to be agreeable at all time with people she doesn't know well, if only to cover up her social awkwardness. She is not in any way a conversationalist, and is perfectly happy to sit in silence for hours at a time. If you talk to her, she'll be happy to respond with intelligent, if somewhat bland, answers.

With friends, Kayla is a different person. She comes out of her shell significantly. She talks, jokes, laughs, and shares her opinion readily. It takes her a long time to make friends, though. She gets along best with people who aren't afraid to put themselves out there at first, because as soon as she realizes that a person genuinely likes her, she starts to get more of a personality.

While that's the the trait most people notice first, Kayla's got quite an interesting array of qualities. She loves a mental challenge (physical ones not so much), but procrastinates like it's her job. She is exceptionally intelligent, but refuses to do busywork. In short, she's a smart slacker.

History: Kayla was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and when she wanted riding lessons, she got them. Mr. Brentwood was a high-caliber lawyer, and when five-year-old Kayla started out at an Saddlebred barn, she did one lesson a week for about a month before she was bumped up to two lessons, then three, then leasing within two years. A saddleseat equitation star from the beginning, Kayla got her first horse at age eight, a former five-gaited champion who had been stepped down to equitation. While her parents weren't quite sure about her addiction to horses and tried to get her into ballet or gymnastics or piano, Kayla was best at riding.

When she was fourteen, Kayla stepped up her game to include riding sale horses in three-gaited, five-gaited, and country pleasure. Soon she was competing at the highest levels, but not really... winning... Her horses weren't quite good enough, and she began the search for her perfect horse.

It started with an email to a local trainer, and concluded with Mr. Brentwood signing the check for a two-year-old gelding. HRS Pokerface, or Petri, was Kayla's to ride and train, as soon as he grew up a little bit. She's thrown herself into training him, and the very first year he was shown under saddle, Kayla brought home twenty-seven ribbons, ten of them blue. That attracted the attention of Willow Creek, and this year, she hauled Petri up to Canada to attend the best equestrian school in the continent.
