Introduction
My I introduce myself? I am [Adriana]. I am [28] years old. I have been riding for [20] years and consider myself a/an [advanced] rider. I am a [female] and I happen to find [Chasing] attractive.
Mirror Reflections
Adriana, so to speak, was always the ugly duckling growing up. She had awkwardly placed teeth (to which childhood bullies nicknamed the 'bear trap') and hair that never ceased growing. She was very tiny as well growing up, only reaching her current mature height of 5'4". She was never athletic, until she reached college. Her awkward body turned in to one of grace and fitness, participating in marathons and such to trim off the fat and tone her body. Years of tortuous braces now left her with a whole new look of straight, pearly white teeth that she loves to show off. A pair of soft, hazel eyes can analyze everything with a type of professional scrutiny; but will not look where they don't belong. Thick, chestnut hair frames her delicate face that always appears of have a healthy sheen to it.
Psychoanalyze Me
Adriana has a very motherly personality. She will take anyone and everyone under her wing and try to make their situation or day better. She was never one to be judgmental or jealous. Even though she grew up being practically taunted everyday by her childhood 'friends', she still readily believes in treating people that she wants to be treated, even if it doesn't always work out that way. She is extremely patient and hardly has a mean bone in her body. It takes a lot to get her aggravated or upset, at least openly upset. She can hide things very easily and appear happy even though she's extremely upset deep down.

A Glimpse of Ages Past
Growing up as a child, Adriana was an only child born to Lauren and Carson Mackes. They lived on a quaint farm with a couple cows here and there, her father keeping the family farming tradition alive only slightly. Adriana found her love for horses when her grandfather plopped her on their giant draft horse, Goliath. Even though he was used to pull heavy loads when tourists came in to town to their historic farm, he was so docile and gentle that little Adriana could ride him all around the pasture without him even blinking an eye. Eventually she started taking lessons after pleading with her parents at the age of eight. She was obsessed with show jumping on television, and had tons of tapes in which she had recorded several olympic events. All concerning equestrian events, of course. She also was always the type to take care of a lost baby bird or turtle, and there also planted the seed of her drive to be a veterinarian.
When Adriana was eighteen, her parents bought her her very first horse. The big, five year old gelding was her dream come true. Even though he was young and still fairly green, he was a sweetheart and the two instantly clicked. They competed for several years together successfully, and it was pushed on the wayside while Adriana was earning her degrees to become a veterinarian. She found it difficult to find someone to hire her, but a promising stable called Chasing Hills intrigued her when she moved in to the area. She decided to board Bear there, impressed by the facilities as well as the owner. A couple months later she found herself dating the dashingly charming Chasing, whom the other barn girls seemed to slobber over.

Papered Information
[/size]Status: Active
Registered Name: Bear Naked
Known As: Bear
Age: 15 Sex: Gelding Height: 16.3hh
Breed: Belgian Warmblood Color: Black, bold white blaze Discipline: Hunter
Personality: It takes a lot to unnerve this veteran of the hunter ring. Through the decade that he and Adriana had been together, he has calmed down quite a lot to the point where one could call him 'lazy'. He is very sweet and gentle, and rarely gets a nasty attitude with anyone - even other horses. He is even perfectly fine without any horse companions, but gets a little nervous when separated from Adriana for too long (ex. several days)
