-- HISTORY
[/font][/color][/b][/center]Envy was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up living on a small horse ranch. Her father, Joseph, taught Envy to ride when she was two, and bought her her first horse, a Norwegian Fjord, when she was five. She was then taught the basics of jumping, and began entering the Junior Riders Show Jumping competitions at age seven. It didn't take long for people to learn the name Envy Hopkins, as she piled in the blue ribbons quickly and almost effortlessly. At this time, her mother was also teaching her to play piano, which Envy mastered within a matter of six months.
When Envy was eleven, her father decided to move her up to a different breed of horse after her Fjord horse, which she had called Jack, died from colic. Her father bought her an arabian, a tiny mare that Envy named Hope. With her father's help, Hope became a champion jumper. It was around this time that her mother began to teach Envy guitar, which she mastered within a year.
Envy had a seemingly easy life. She received a new horse every few years that she moved up in the age defined classes. By age sixteen, Envy had won many show jumping ribbons, trophies, and was placed in the Advanced Show Jumping class. For this class, her father bought her a thoroughbred gelding named Hoover. At this age, she was also practicing the violin, and had found four new loves. Drawing, writing, singing, and reading.
However, the next two years seemed increasingly difficult, since Envy developed an over-confident personality. All of her friends began to look down on her, though it didn't phase her confidence in the least at first. It wasn't until the following year that Envy realized she would go through the rest of high school without friends, or even acquaintances. While she still maintained a high profile, the stress of constant work and no fun began to pile up. A chain-reaction began to happen. With the loss of friends, Envy had no one to talk to. No one who was her age and understood how she felt. The feelings piled up, but Envy kept them bottled. She became seemingly depressed, and often her teachers would ask, "What's wrong?"
It became an everyday thing. Wake up. Go to school. Have every teacher asked what was wrong, and as always, Envy would reply, "nothing." Mid-way through her senior year, however, Envy couldn't take the constant questions about how she was doing, or why she was upset. While sitting in English class, her teacher came to her desk, and asked what was wrong. The annoyance of the question caused Envy to slam her book down on her desk, and she began shouting at the teacher.
After a conference with her parents, it was agreed that Envy go to anger management for six months. Hoping to find peace from the stress, Envy agreed. After six months, she was right back to her smiling, confident self, and tried to keep her confidence in check, though at times it still got the better of her, and even made it hard for her to make friends, even after high school was done and over with.
By age eighteen, Envy's name was known well in the horse world, though she refused to choose the high life. After school, which she graduated as the valedictorian and A+ honor student, she went straight into college to study astronomy, and got a job as a waitress at a local cafe, as she felt that she would be better off as a middle-class citizen. Her college was fully paid with her well-earned scholarship, and she used her job to get other necessities, such as clothes. But even despite the job and college, she struggled to maintain friendships.
By nineteen, Envy had moved out of her parents' house, ready to get a new life, and go somewhere where she'd be new, and try to create her better self. More than anything, she wanted to avoid the fame. She bought a one-way ticket to Virginia, where she applied for a job at the Bluebird Diner, a local restaurant. She also bought a Dutch Warmblood, named Chance, and adopted a boxer named Fawn.

[/font][/color][/b][/center]Hayden watched as Robyn made her rounds around the ring on her Fjord horse, Sweet Rebellion, or Rebel. She sat on the edge of the fence, watching as the pony flew over the jumps with ease at Robyn's unseen cues. Robyn's red hair was pulled into a neat ponytail, and her blue-green eyes were set hard in concentration as she made perfect form over each jump. The wind blew lightly and made Hayden's blond hair dance across her lovely face. Her petite frame shook lightly and she had to steady herself before she fell. She smiled as a nose pressed into her side. She looked down at Zeus, her sorrel quarter horse gelding as he nudged her lightly. She rubbed his head and looked into his brown eyes. "Hey, baby." She said lightly.
She thought about Brayden for a moment, and was suddenly happy that she had left the two year old with her cousin, Onyx.
Her mind came back to the present as Robyn called her name. "Hayden? Hayden!" Her voice came. Hayden blinked and looked at Robyn. "Yea?" Hayden called. "I'm going riding on the trails." She said. Hayden nodded and Robyn maneuvered Rebel over to the fence and opened it as Hayden watched. When she was out of sight, she grabbed Zeus's lead rope and led him to the indoor arena where she brushed his coat clean in silence before throwing on his white saddle blanket and black saddle with the white stitching. She patted his neck then went into the tack room to grab his bit. The well-trained gelding took the bit with ease and sliding up over his ears.
She then unclipped the lead halter that she'd hooked around his neck and led him to the indoor round pen. She climbed into the saddle after opening and closing the gate. She moved Zeus into an easy walk before she began to trot him around the area, posting in the saddle so both human and horse were more comfortable. After about ten minutes and the equine's muscles were finally warmed up and loose, she began cantering the gelding around. Her blond hair bounced around her pale face, making her blue eyes shine in the dim lighting of the arena. Her form on the gelding was impeccable and she couldn't help but smile at the freedom her horse gave her.
