Assana Stormcloud's parents had recently died in a terrible accident, but had left her with a substantial amount of money. Assana hated the city, so with her inherited money, she moved to Appaloosa Plains and bought a large property. With the left over money she hired some contractor's and built a small house.
Assana wanted desperately to live out her dream and become the worlds best Horsewoman and she thought she'd finally have the chance now. A close friend wished her well and bought a beautiful Mare for her as a farewell gift. With this horse came hope for the future.

Cloud Magic was the name the beautiful mare came with. Assana was unsure of her breed but it did not matter to her. She was smart, obedient and very playful. The prefect horse.
Assana was a little frightened of riding her at first. So she spent alot of time grooming and bonding with her. She found out that Magic loved apples and that she loved being groomed. She was also a very affectionate horse, coming up to sniff Assana when ever the opportunity arose and they quickly became friends.

Assana needed to to go to the City Hall and register herself as a Horsewoman if she ever wanted to start her dream. As she didn't have a car, the only way to get there was on horseback. It only took a few days for Assana to gather her courage and place her trust int he sweet mare.
Cloud Magic was very gentle and seemed to know that her rider was new and still learning. She stayed at a pace that was comfortable for Assana.

They arrived without incident and Assana tied Magic up outside while she went to fill out the paper work.
The lady at the desk kept her for some time but when she emerged from City Hall she was officially a Horsewoman. Now all she needed was to work on her reputation and her skills.

On the way home Assana gained more confidence in her riding ability and wanted to try some cavaletti jumps.
Cloud Magic took to them with ease and Assana was thrilled to find her riding had improved after 2 hours of training. Both of them were now very tired, so they headed home.

Assana woke up the next morning still tired. She ate her breakfast and then tidied up around the house. Her house was lacking alot of furniture and decor so it didn't take long to clean.
After a cold shower she went out to see Magic. She spent a few hours grooming her and spending time with her before she tacked her up and went for a ride around the local area.

As they rode past the equestrian center, Assana heard them call for beginner entries for the show. After yesterday's success with the cavaletti jumps she was confident enough to enter her and Magic into the competition.
Cloud Magic took to the course with ease, but even so, Assana had never expected them to actually come first place! When she got home, she put the trophy on top of her draws where she could see it every morning when she woke up.

Over the next few days Assana entered Cloud Magic into a few more beginner competitions. The came first in 3 cross country events and 1 show jumping event.
Assana was so proud of herself and her mare she couldn't help but call her friends and boast about her winnings. Now she finally had some money in the bank she could add a few things to the house.

With the winnings from the competitions, Assana bought some fencing for a vegetable patch and a new horse box for Cloud Magic.
Assana planted an apple tree, some lettuce, a few grape vines and some tomatoes. With her natural talent for gardening they grew quickly. Assana knew that fertilizing them with horse manure would also make them grow better and now she had a reliable source right next to the garden.

Extra:
Assana spends alot of time in the garden talking to the plants, weeding, watering and harvesting and she spent alot of time with Cloud Magic, grooming, patting, training, feeding and talking to. But there is always time at the end of the day to do a little bit of painting
Cloud Magic loves apples, they also make a handy treat before going on a ride as it fills the appetite for a short time.
