Townsend Acres Stables
Located an hour's drive from NYC, Townsend Acres Stables is home of some of the most talented race horses, jumpers, and even some western horses. There are several Olympic trainers, for just about everything; waiting on hand to take apprentices and teach some lessons.

You drive through a white arch with a sign dangling from it. The sign is painted a sky blue color with navy blue and dark green painted on words. The words read as Townsend Acres Stables on top then below in smaller letters it read A Racing/Jumping/Western Stable. The drive is made up of gravel as you drive toward six huge barns and a small house like building off to the side. Finally you park where there are a bunch of cars, trucks, and trailers. This must be the parking lot. You walk into the closet barn. There are a lot of geldings and stallions, so you assume that it is the stallion's barn. Several lean and well muscled thoroughbreds pass by you. Their coats gleam with the grooming the grooms just gave them. Several more horses pass you. Some are Appaloosas and some are Quarter Horses. The people leading them are dressed in western riding clothes, so you assume them as western horses. Finally you walk out of the barn, after passing several wash stalls, cross ties, and even a lounge in the barn. Looking out from the other side of the barn you see two racing ovals, the start of a cross country course, three indoor arenas, and three outdoor arenas. But what catches you eye the most is the rolling green acreage of the pastures for the horses. It stretches for miles. You then move to the house like building to see what it is. As you walk toward it a sign dangling from a bar names it as the Office. Still curious you continue to walk toward it. You open the door and walk in. There's another door so you knock on it. A female voice tells you to come in, so you do. A female - who introduces herself as Ashleigh Griffin the owner of the stable - greets you.

TAS is a fantastic human/horse RPG owned by Ashleigh. It has seen up for several months and has gained many wonderful members. And TAS will welcome anyone who wants to RP with its members and staff.

Seasons


Summer is here! The grass is green and the pastures seem to be overflowing with it. The temperature continues to rise. The lakes and ponds seems to be the only way to escape the heat. The trees have their emerald green leaves back and you can hear the birds chirping away on their branches. People are bustling around preparing their horses for the upcoming shows. Weather Warning: The heat wave doesn't seem to be stopping as temperatures climb to all time highs. Be careful of overworking your horses and once you and they are done give them a bath to cool off! Then head to the beach and cool off yourself!

Breeding: Yes
Foaling: Yes

The Round Pen, or lounging ring, is commonly used to lounge a hyper or disobedient horse. It can be used as a shelter for horses temporarily. The walls are ten feet tall and solid concrete so no horse can jump out. There is a wooden fence on the out side so a person can climb to the top and watch the horse. There is a roof over part of it. The pen is fifty feet in each direction when directly in the center. The gate is as tall as the walls and made of metal.
