[/b][/size][/ul] Paradise Hills prides itself in hiring only the most responsible, dedicated staff around. Being quite a small operation, it is easy and makes the most sense for each horse to have its very own jockey. Each jockey/horse pair has a special bond. They spend much time together and, while there may be a few stable hands, often it is the jockey who can be seen feeding, watering, and generally taking care of the horse. As of right now there is just one trainer who oversees and supervises the molding of each horse's talent and advises the jockeys.[/ul]

[/b][/size] [/b] Essie Gender Female Age 25 years Appearance 5'2" and 110 lbs with brown hair and amber eyes Biography Essie was adopted by horse people and developed a love for all animals as she grew up. She graduated high school early, and at 17 she went into college having no idea what she wanted to do. One day a family friend took her to a race and she fell in love. Next thing she knew she was on the back of a Thoroughbred, feeling the most exhilarated she had felt ever in her life. After spending years at a liberal private school, Essie feels comfortable at such a small place like Paradise Hills.

He knew it would come in handy because he was determined to be a pilot in the Air Force. Unfortunately he was turned down when he tested positive for colorblindness. Having always had a positive attitude and a fun-loving personality, he rolled with the punches and explored other things. Oly had never really worked with horses before, but he loves adventure and got his jockey license as soon as possible. His lack of experience made it hard for him to find a job but Paradise Hills, with its small size and vague reputation, welcomed him. Horse Oly works with Akumabuelle.[/sup][/ul][/ul] [/b][/size] [/b] Bastian Gender Male Age 21 Appearance 5'6" and 115 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes Biography Bastian has always been a daredevil and a show-off. In grade school he was the one who was always pulling bold, sometimes foolish, stunts. His parents owned a steeplechase and eventing stable, and Casey was put on the back of a horse as soon as he could hold himself upright. Casey began riding in competitions when he was old enough, but soon the thrill of that wasn't even enough for him. He needed a new drug: flat racing. He was hired on at Paradise Hills and of course chose the nuttiest horse they had. Horse Casey works with Dark Goddess.[/sup][/ul][/ul]

As a child, he was the nerdy one with his nose in a book - usually about horses. Naturally this has benefited him in the long run and he is quite a wealthy man. He was requested to be brought on at Paradise Hills and accepted despite it being a young start up at the time.[/sup][/ul][/ul]

[/b][/size] [/b] Julius Gender Male Age 16 years Appearance 6' and 160 lbs with sandy blond hair and brown eyes Biography Julius is a troubled kid. He's never been in jail but when he decided to drop out of school and give up his future of taking on the family business, his parents practically wanted him incarcerated. The next-best thing they could think of was sending him away to shovel horse manure until he "shaped up." Julius just doesn't know what he wants and while he doesn't mind working here, he can't see how it's helping him.[/sup][/ul][/ul]
