Introduction
May I introduce myself? I am Shannon Jackson. I am 16 years old. I have been riding for 5 years and consider myself a/an Intermediate rider. I am a girl and I happen to not find guys attractive.
Mirror Reflections
Shannon is a five foot, three inch tall girl, who, despite her small size, is quite strong. She has shoulder-length black hair that is almost always in a French braid. Her black hair contrasts quite a bit with her creamy skin. Her skin never tans, but in summer is almost always sunburnt. She has beautiful grey eyes, that, when she's not riding, are framed by a pair of glasses. When riding, she wheres contacts.
Psychoanalyze Me
Shannon is very practical. Everything she has is something she needs in some way or another. Her family always tells her that is very absented-minded and that she would forget her head if it wasn't screwed on. She may be absented-minded at home, but never around the horses. Her short temper gets her in trouble more then she'd like, but being around horses helps her stay calm. She tries to be kind and gracious to everyone she meets.

A Glimpse of Ages Past
Shannon and her family came to Nashville from Scotland, after her father lost his job. All of them still have their accents, which makes it hard for some people to understand what they are saying. Shannon is the only girl and the youngest in a family of five, but not the only horse lover. One of her brothers competed in Dressage in the Olympics. He now lives in Germany, coaching other Dressage riders. Her other brother has no interest in horses, but rather in computers. Her mother has been terrified of horses ever since Shannon fell, getting a severe concussion and a broken arm. Shannon's father used to ride horses when he was a boy, but stopped when he entered college.
Shannon's parents bought Shannon her first horse when she was 12. That horse was an old school horse called Magic. Shannon owned Magic for only 1 year before the horse passed away. Two years later, Shannon leased a Dutch Warmblood from a friend for showing. Then, they came to the Nashville. After much searching, Shannon finally found the horse of her dreams. That horse was an Appendix Quarter Horse named Bandit. It was love at first sight.
