Description EDIT 2: Here is the story! ^^

EDIT: All riders have horses now XD For the first test, please RP/draw these horses (there are no horse changes made during the test) For the second ridden, make sure SJS are on show jumping horses, DS are on dressage, and R are on the young horses. (HS and RI can be on any (non-young) horses, but won't keep the same horse in-between tests.) I will add story when I have time ^^ Feel free to write/art about this test or the second or the interview ^^

The admissions requirements set a very high standard for AEC. The students may complement their on site riding test and interview with letters of recommendation and competition merits. However, almost everything hangs on what you do during the test day. 

Gabriella Disefeldt  and Vanessa Disefeldt  are the two closes riders. Gabbs is on Bus  and Anni is on Gripen . The story is linked above ^^

I couldn't fit everyone who is going to RP with us in one image, so I though I'd start with the ones who are in ^^
We have: Samuel O'Donnell (riding Bookmaker ), Teddy Vermette  (riding Midnight Champagne ), Matt Winter (riding LB Play the Game ) and Kenza Long (riding Miss Locksmith ).


Testing is done mon, tues and wed the last week of august. Every day four groups of six riders are tested with two riding tests and one interview. Since the absolute max students that get accepted is 25 this means that about a third will not make the cut. Thursday and friday horses that students wish to bring are tested by staff and come 1:st of september, everyone will know if they and their horses are in or not.

I'm thinking the day consists of:
09.00 / 09.45 - 45 minutes of test for correct seat and minimal aids. (ridden in groups of 6, one group in the white riding arena and one in the yellow, two groups start the day at 09.00 and the other two start at 09.45) (This is what I drew here.)

10.45 / 11.30 - 45 minutes of "specialised riding", with DS doing advanced dressage, SJS jumping, R working the six year olds, and HS and RI getting to ride a second horse, this time focusing more on correcting it.

12.30 LUNCH

And the afternoon is filled with interviews. Everyone gets an hour and every interview is recorded. (Because the whole board cant sit with every applicant.)

You get a timeslot for your interview s for the rest of the time you can mingle or walk around and get to know the place.

I think it would be a great idea for people to draw and write about this day and how their character though everything went ^^

Guys! For the second test, remont will be riding one of the 6 young horses, HB and RI will be on any horse (except the young ones), DS will be on horses specialized in dressage and SJS will be on horses specialized in show jumping (the school horses specialities is written out in their reffs and in the staff, student and horse guide ^^)

HB and RI will be doing dressage moves and jumping a smaller obstacle. R will be doing dressage with their young horses, DS will be doing more advanced dressage and SJS will be jumping some obstacles (around 1.20 m high). NOW WE NEED TO BOOK OUR HORSES (so we don't all end up on the same ones XD) Reply here which one you want

amazing work!!
haha Sam looks awfully serious xD love it. Maybe he could ride the Bookmaker (if it's still possible) if not, it can be Samwise c:

I like the whole plan! Could I draw and write about the second test, while including references to the first?

Ackerley In reply to TerracottaVulture [2016-01-27 20:50:51 +0000 UTC]

Oops, I didn't mean to make him overly serious XD Bookmaker is for sale but hasn't been sold yet, so don't make him fall too in love XD I'd love to see you draw and write about the second test! And references are awesome XD

okay thank you!
lil question, for the first test, is it okay for Evana to ride Samwise and then I'll carry you for the second one? they're both so beautiful ♥

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ackerley In reply to Turquoiseoce [2016-01-29 11:00:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^ You can have Samwise for the first test. I'll Carry You isn't a school horse. School horses that are especially good at Show Jumping is Bookmaker, Hareshy, Popcorn Not Included and Starling Z. You can also use all the 3DE horses (Which horse is which is written here and on each horses reference )

Ackerley In reply to DobbysCookieSock [2016-01-28 07:20:37 +0000 UTC]

She's one of the young horses and will not be available unless your character is taking the remont course.

DobbysCookieSock In reply to Ackerley [2016-01-28 13:25:17 +0000 UTC]

Or wait, could I change his course to Remont? Read through it again, I really think it fits him better

Thank you, looks lovely! I didn't quite get the two test parts, would there be two images whereas one is them riding the actual test? i'm so slow today hehe sorry

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ackerley In reply to Solstubbe [2016-01-27 21:00:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, there are no mandatory art/story whatever XD But just to get started the day will be her riding one 45 minute test where she shows her position (but does nothing advanced), one 45 minute test where she is on a school horse for dressage and does higher level dressage with little help from trainers and then lunch and then the interview in the evening. So if you want to draw or write about the test day you can do either the first test (this) the second test (new horse) where she gets to do more cool dressage things (maybe on a double bridle) or do something from looking at the place or going to the interview But it's not like tokotas or shedu or something where you have to draw to be allowed in

Solstubbe In reply to Ackerley [2016-01-27 21:06:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh well then cx I can choose any other dressage school horse for test two? (damn I grew fond of Miss Locksmith aha)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ackerley In reply to Solstubbe [2016-01-27 21:09:01 +0000 UTC]

Yep ^^ But you don't need to draw the second part, you can draw this part and then you get to draw Miss Locksmith
