The Ranch:
The Main Building:
A nice, robin-egg blue panel colored house, with a nice, white porch and deck, with a swing chair and chairs going inside. It is three stories-basement, main floor and upstairs. The main floor is commonly used for registration. To get in, your parents or legal guardians have to sign some papers in the first room, which is right in front of you when you walk inside. The hallway leds left and right. To the left, is the Storm family's living room, dining room, bathroom, doorway to the basement and kitchen. To the right is the stairway to upstairs, which has the family's bedrooms and bathroom. The basement has a lot of weight lifting, horse equipment, ribbons, trophies and exercise stuff.
The Dorm House:
This is a five story building, with a porch and coloring just like the Main Building. There is a long hallway, once you step in though. The dorm rooms to the left are girls', dorm rooms to the right are boys'. There are stairs leading to the next level, which is the same, up to the fifth floor. The dorm rooms hold only two people per room, a total of 24 rooms on each floor, so a total of 120 rooms and up to 240 students. Each room has two beds, a mini fridge, two closets, two dressers, two nightstands, one big window, one bathroom with a mirror, cabinet, toilet, sink and shower and a table with four chairs. The walls are bright electric blue with the seams and little edgings being bright yellow, while the carpet floors are midnight black.
The Gathering Building:
The outside looking like the first two, with the same inside painting and coloring. There is the dining room, which is a huge room with lots of chairs and tables, a big kitchen, a big game/fun/living room, and a sick room for the ill or injured.

The Stables:
The Main Barns:
Pretty, light robin-egg blue colored barns, with white support wood and black roof. There are two floors to these barns. The top is for storing hay, grain, cleaning supplies and spare riding equipment. There are 24 stalls to a side, 48 stalls in one barn on the main level. Each stall has a sliding door, with iron black little things in the top part of the stall, and warm oakwood stalling. There is a water trough, a hay bag and a feed bucket in each stall along with fresh stawdust. Each stall has a platnum name plank for each horse. Each stall has four little hangers outside of the door to keep the lead rope and halter on one, saddle pad on another, saddle on another and bridle and helmet on the last. You brig your own eqipment, though we have spare if yours breaks in the upper level.
The Main Pony and Donkey Barn:
A barn that looks exactly the same, with the same two levels, only slightly smaller stalls, and swinging doors with two parts, so the ponies and donkeys can stick out their heads, when they are so short.
The Medical Barn:
This barn has two levels to it as well, but the stalls are more roomy, and have a lot of little adjustments so we can put a sling, or something easily in the stall. This is where sick, injured, overly nervous or dangerous horses, ponies or donkeys are kept. And the top floor has vet stuff and is way more organized then the other three barns. It holds up to 36 horses, ponies and/or donkeys.
The Foaling Barn:
Just the same as the Medical Barn, only the stalls are even bigger yet, for the foals and mares to be kept in a stall. It holds up to 24 horses, two horses to a stall.
There are large paddocks outside, in the back of each barn, with gates to one big pasture in the back of each of them. Each paddock can hold up to 15 horses at a time.

Land (Wyoming) :
Well, it's a lot of flat land, with a lot of grass. But there are mountains nearby, so forests and streams stretch near the ranch and stables.
Trails-
Pine Trail-Common for beginners. It has a large, easily marker sandy path up hills through the pine forest in the back. It leads down near a shallow stream, after riding ten minutes at a normal trot. When you cross the stream, you can either choose the right path-which leads to the Forest Trail-or the left path, which leds back to the ranch and stables in ten minutes at a normal trot.
Forest Trail-A fun path for novice riders, amongst crowded trees, plants and bushes in a sandy path that turns to dirt as you go farther along. Watch out for branches and bushes that can smack you in the face, none of which sturdy enough to knock you off your ride, though if you're going fast enough, you'll get a few bruises and/or cuts. You can continue on the trail for an hour at a normal trot, and you will face another decisions. To the left path, is back to the Pine Trail, which leads back to the ranch and stables at a hour and a quarter at a normal trot. To the right path, is a path that leads to the Jumping River Trail.
Trade River Trail-A trail that is just as tightly packed with vegetation, only with lots of little streams that most horses would want to jump over. This path it for notice or expirianced riders. The trail ends with two paths, as usual, after swimming across a small river called the Trade River. To the left, is a Two and a half hour ride at a normal trot back. To the right is a path that leads to the Prairie Trail.
Prairie Trail-The final trail for any rider. It is a spacious trail, after thinning out of the forest to the prairies, where you go back on a total of a six hour ride.
There are other smaller trails, but these are the main trails.

Riding Styles:
English-with the small, black saddle that is used for dressage, jumping, cross country, racing and more, this is the more difficult of the two, for you need a lot of balance and power to stay on your horse then Western. This is not the common style at this ranch and stables.
Western-The big, heavy saddle style with the curved back and saddle horn as well as long stirrups and big cinch. It is used for many things such as gaming/gymnakah, barrel racing, pleasure, endurance racing, cutting, roping and more. This is easier to be in, of the two styles. This is the main style used at the ranch and stables.
Common Classes that will be used for Competeions:
-Western Pleasure
-Barrel Racing
-Gaming/Gymnakah
-Trail Class
-Cutting Class
-Roping Class
-Endurance Racing
-Jumping, English Pleasure, Cross Country, Eventing and Dressage are not common in competions around the ranch and stables, but there are the occasional ones.
Rider Levels:
«Beginner-New riders to a horses, who can't ride too long and just new to riding, in general.
«Novice-Riders who somewhat know what they are doing. They can easily find their way along difficult trails and stand a little bit of misbehavior on horses, though not as good as Advanced riders.
«Advanced-Sectioned riders who know what they are doing and can easily handle younger, more untrained horses on difficult trails and such.
