sample post:
i don't need to.
but if anyone's curious.

carson had weak little tiny legs and squatting like that was definitely making them hurt pretty badly. he'd only been like that for a few moments, but carr could already feel the strain in them. he tried to stay in the position, but he just couldn't and so he plopped down on his bum. crossing his legs, he let out a silent sigh. his pants were going to get dirty and he knew it. that's what one got for wearing white pants. but could carson help it that he was such a lover of fashion? anyways, that's what bleach was for. and he'd been so looking forward to meeting noah that it was worth getting a little dirt on his perfectly white pants.

so he was right! carson let out a little yesss! inside his head and then almost laughed at the lameness of it. he was always doing stupid things inside his head. if people ever heard any of them then he'd probably be quite the laughing stock. god, carson was getting carried away with his thoughts and he tried harder to concentrate on what noah was saying. he'd always been the one the get off topic really quickly. carson said it was ADD or something, but the doctors just said he had a short attention span. whatevvver.

and noah knew who he was! carson felt the slightest bit special that noah had recognized him even though online he'd said that he knew who carr was. 'xocarson.' carson let out a little giggle at that before clamping his small hand over his mouth, eyes still dancing with laughter. it just sounded funny the way that noah had said it. "right on." a way over used phrase in carson's vocabulary. he kept meaning to try to cut down on the usage, but he was hooked. "it's nice to meet you noah logged on." carson let out another tiny little giggle after that one.

of course, carson knew who noah was because he was just that damn awesome. he would have liked to say that, but he wasn't a total liar. just some of the time. "i told you that my brain was dead that night, but it came back to life now," he said with a playful smirk. it'd really just been a freak thing that carson had realized who noah was. he'd seen him around school before and such and then when he'd seen him under the tree he'd just finally put a name to the face. it'd even surprised carson that'd he's known who noah was.

carson pulled a piece of grass out of the ground next to him and began to twiddle it between his fingers as he looked over noah discreetely. he always tried to not be too obvious when he was looking over someone. and that reminded carson, noah had claimed over and over again that he was ugly and carr just wasn't seeing it. "i thought you said you were ugly, noah." the smile on carson's face had changed from playful to sweet. he thought noah was pretty damn far from being ugly. then again, most people always found the flaw in themselves. kind of like how carr thought he was fat even though people always said he wasn't.

thoughts of the club had been pushed from carson's mind up until now, but as he remembered it he got to thinking. what would such a totally awesome kid like noah be doing hanging out by himself on a saturday night? carson had figured he was a popular, party-going type guy from the impression he'd gotten over the internet. the kid sitting in front of him alone just didn't fit that description. "so what are you doing all alone tonight, and with no spongebob pj pants?' carson asked curiously, a small smile playing at his lips.

physical appearance:
holden has always been brought up in a family where it's not acceptable to have long, unruly hair so it's not suprising that his hair isn't like a lot of other boys now days. now while his hair is a little longer that what his parents would like, it's no where near long. it ends right at the base of his neck and doesn't go any longer unless you were to straighten it. holden's hair flips out to either side in the back and gives it a nice touch. the top would fall lightly across his forehead, but he uses prodcts to keep it up and out of his face most of the time. holden's hair is a dark brown, almost black, color.

eyes are a big part of what makes holden look as good as he does. his eyes are a lovely shade of dark brown. they hold a lot of mystery in them which is probably another reason that girls find him so attractive. when he's out in the sun, the light catches on holden's eyes and they appear to be a light caramel color which looks absolutely stunning. it's not uncommon to see glasses covering holden's eyes though so it's not always easy to tell what his is paying attention to.

holden's mouth can usually be found in one of two expressions. either he's got a determined, unhappy scowl or he's got a sly smile. when he's got the scowl, holden's lips tend to purse up and become smaller. when he's got the sly smile, his lips curl up into what you could call a suave smile. holden's not afraid to show his teeth because he had braces all throughout his junior high years so his teeth are rather nice. his lips are always soft and silky smooth.

holden's face is shaped nicely with smooth cheeks and a nicely chiseled jaw. his medium size nose sits right in the middle of his face and is actually rather cute with it's round, pointed tip. black eyes brows arch above his eyes, but they are waxed on a regular basis so that they don't get out of control. holden's forehead is maybe just a little bit larger than normal, but it's not something that a lot of people notice unless they are really looking. ocassional acne problems break out right along his hair line, but holden is fantasti at getting them gone quickly.

being a horse rider, holden does a lot of exercise and uses his arms on a regular basis, pulling back his stronger horses and such. his arms and nicely tanned from being outside in the sun so much and they've acquired a nice tone to them. he's ar from bulging, but he's not a bean pole either. riding his also helped tone holden's abdobomen which is quickly turning into a six pack that isn't quite fully finished yet. holden does not have any kind of hair growing on his chest, stomach, or back. that's just gross.

it's only natural that a horse rider would have great shaped legs. holden is no exception to that rule. he's got legs as strong as any soccer player or bicyclist. muscles bulge in his calves and it's no wonder that he loves to wear shorts. he's got the lovely makings of a farmer tan on his legs from all of the short-wearing, but it's not something people can tell. an array of dark brown hair adorns holden's legs just as it would for any other male.

holden is rather tall for his age, at six feet and four inches. he tends to tower over most people at his school and has already topped his father's height. when he hit his growth spurt in junior high he just sprung right up. he's not going to get much taller, if any, though. holden weighs in at one hundred and eighty-three pounds, which isn't much considering his muscle mass and weight.

not many scars adorn holden's body, but he does have a select few. most people never see it, but right on his left inner thigh, holden has a large, straight scar running across. he was riding one time and fell off, landing on the jump and his thigh happened to hit the jump cup, slicing it right open. another major scar of holden's runs across his right shoulder blade. he got it only recently when he went into manny's stall and the wild stallion kicked out at him.

clothing style:
holden can usually be found wearing nice shirts from places such as hollister, american eagle, and pac sun. he almost always has on some sort of t-shirt since he is in california, after all. his shirts range from any colors really, but its very rare that he wears black ones. if holden isn't wearing a tee then he's usually wearing some sort of button-up shirt. he usually wears those rolled up to the sleeves and buttoned a little low with a white shirt underneath. his button ups are usually some sort of striped colored or plaid.

holden is not much of a pants person and he can usually be found wearing shorts; khaki shorts to be exact. he just doesn't like the feel of pants. he will ocassionally wear pants, but only if they're pretty much destroyed with holes all over the place. he's got this thing where he likes his legs to be able to "breathe." if they're something nice going on holden will wear a nice pair of dress pants or something, but he really despises it.

holden absolutely adores shoes. he's almost like a girl in that sense. he has a closet that's pretty much just full of shoes almost. any kind of shoes that you could imagine line the walls. his favorite are his pure white nike running shoes. he treats them almost as well as his horses. holden mainly wears tennis shoes, but he also wears dress shoes sometimes. he also has a few pairs of different clogs that he likes to wear on those "down" days.

jackets aren't needed too much here in california, but tucker still has some for those chilly days during the winter. he's got a lot of hooded jackets from hollister because he really likes the ones there. he's got one in gray, one in navy blue, one in white, and one in forest green. holden owns one coat for whenever his family goes on their little ski trip over the winter. his is large and white with furry around the hood.

when holden does his hacking everyday, he usually wears a pair of breeches. he's got set ones for hacking and others for showing. his hacking breeches usually tend to be tan, olive green, or black. he usually wears an older t-shirt or on really hot days he'll wear a tank top. he's not to fond of wearing them though because his father says they make him look trashy. holden has a pair of black paddock boots that he wears to hack and he's also got a pair of black leather half chaps that he wears as well. his helmet is pure black velvet.

all of holden's show clothes were tailored especially for him. he's got two pairs of pure white breeches that were made in italy by one of the most famous tailors there. when showing in lower level jumper events holden usually wears a black polo or a hunter green one. if he's showing in bigger shows he has a navy blue jacket that was tailored in france. he always wears pure white shirts underneath and he has a red tie that he wears as well. he's got an black irh helmet with a silver strip down the middle.

holden tends to wear a lot of accessories all of the time. most days you can find him with some kind of bracelet on his arm and if not that then he has a bandana tied around his wrist. sunglasses are almost always found over his eyes or propped up on the top of his head. he's got this pair of dog tags from his grandfather who was in the british army during world war two that he also wears every once in a while.

personality:
holden thinks that he is pretty hot shit. when he's riding he's got this smirk on his face that let's people know that he knows he's good. he could go on and on about what a good rider he is. holden tends to think that he's better than everyone around him and he lets people know that. if there's someone else that questions his authority or ability he will quickly put them back in their place. he feels like he's never the person in the wrong; it's the people around him that screw up, not him.

holden has a very strong like toward the ladies. he likes to date, but he gets bored with just one female so he usually tends to "broaden his horizons." you can usually find holden dating over two girls at a time. the most he's even juggled is five and he's always looking to break that record. girls usually know that holden is a player and yet he can usually cun them into liking him still. he's just got this great way with ladies that makes him such a good player.

holden isn't romantic in the sense that he likes doing nice things for girls, but he's romantic in the sense that he does nice things for girls so that he can get himself a date with them. he'll make girls think that he's the most romantic guy ever, get them to the point where they can't turn him down and they actually want him even though they know he's a jerk. he'll buy a girl flowers, expensive jewelry, anything she wants. he'll compliment her to no end and all so he can have her.

so holden has this superiority complex that tells him that he's always right. if someone starts to say something he doesn't believe in then he always has to throw in his two cents and make sure people know his view on it. if there was a debate team at canterbury academy holden would definitely be the captian of if. he's know for getting in long arguments with people over his views and their views. he doesn't seem like the type of person who would do it, but he argues a lot about politics.

with his father owning a large, prosperous business and his mother being the headmistress of the academy, it's no wonder that holden is spoiled. his family is so loaded that he can pretty much get whatever he wants and whenever he wants it. everything holden has was handed to him and he's never had to really work a day in his life. even though he's been around horses all of his life, holden has never cleaned a stall or groomed his horse. he has workers to do that.

holden doesn't sugar-coat anything. if he thinks you look gross then he'll tell you. if he doesn't like you then he'll tell you right to your face. he's not afraid to say what's on his mind and he never holds back. he's been known to walk right up to people he doesn't know and point out things he doesn't like about them if it's really bothering him. it gets him a lot of enemies, but he honestly doesn't care. he's just happy he looks better than them.

it is pretty easy to make holden mcallister angry. if someone does the slightest thing that he doesn't like then he will let them know and not in a very nice way. it's probably an effect of being spoiled for so long. holden gets in fist fights quite often and it's not unusual to hear him yelling at a teacher or a fellow student. he's a pretty good fighter too and he can throw a mean punch.

holden is manipulative, no two ways around it. you already get the gist of what he does to the ladies, but he also does the same to other people around him. holden tends to work people over until he can get them to do anything for him and he can get anything he wants. holden would even screw over his best friend just to get something, or someone, that he wants.

when i say hard, i mean that holden is hard to read. very seldom does he show the true emotion that he is feeling. he could be totally happy and yet he'll have a scowl on his face. usually, if you think holden is one thing, he's probably the exact opposite. he's the kind of guy who will be totally pissed off and start laughing out of no where. its really impossible for anyone to ever know what he's feeling because he's rather fantastic at hiding those things.

ever since his parents moved him to america, holden has been unhappy. he loved his life back in england and he didn't want to leave. he hates living in america and he hates america in general. he thinks the country is far too dangerous and integrated for his taste. he misses all of his friends and his life in general back in england.

as hard as it may be to believe, holden is actually a pretty caring person. just not toward people. he absolutely adores all of his horses and his pony. he even loves manny who is absolutely afraid of him. holden just has really strong bonds with all of his horses, excluding manny at the moment, and anyone can see that. holden loves on all of his horses and spoils them all the time.

holden isn't dedicated in all aspects, but when it comes to manny he is incredibly dedicated. most people would have expected him to send the skiddish horse right to the auction, but holden threw everyone for a loop. he decided to keep manny and now he works with him every day, trying to earn the stallion's trust. holden is determined to not give up on the horse.

history:
holden mcallister was born on february 14th of nineteen ninety-one in london, england. a valentine's baby. he was actually supposed to be born a week earlier, but after the week of waiting the doctor's finally induced his mother into labor. it was around midnight when holden was finally born and everyone, excluding holden, was tired from a day of waiting for him to be born.

holden's first year of life was pretty easy going. his father worked a lot, but his mother took a year off from teaching to take care of him and make sure that he was fine through his first year of life. he was a pretty content child and didn't cry much. he preferred to spend his days sleeping a lot of the time and only waking up to eat. he was pretty much any mothers dream.

a year later holden's mother gave birth to a lovely young girl who she named cadence. she couldn't take another year off teaching at one of england's most prestige prep schools so she hired a nanny after cadence was born. holden was always pretty interested in his little sister and liked to peer through the bars of her crib and watch her while she slept.

the rest of their childhood went pretty easily. holden and cadence were mostly always home with a nanny of some sort, rarely seeing their parents. their father was almost always gone and while their mother was home at night, she was always busy grading papers or coming up with a new lesson plan. the two learned to depend on each other and they became the best of friends.

elementary school was pretty easy for holden. he fit in very well and he was an incredibly smart young boy. he passed all of his classes with ease and was even moved up into the advanced elementary classes that were a mix between his grade and the next grade up. his parents had high hopes for him to follow in his fathers footsteps and take over the family business. holden wasn't so sure of that though. he was more into the horses and riding.

junior high started and holden did really well there. he was incredibly popular among his fellow school mates and he was definitely popular among the females. he always had some following of girls following after him and trying to get his phone number. he was flattered by the attention and obviously took advantage of it. he had his butler drop him off for little "dates" all the time, always with different girls. of course, they were all very into his limo and big house whenever they laid their eyes on those.

high school started very much the same as junior high had been. for his sixteenth birthday holden got a lovely black porsche from his father. he instantly fell in love with the car and could usually be seen driving it around, a cute girl in the front seat, whenever he wasn't riding. it seemed to holden like he was going to really enjoy the rest of his school career.

bad news came in the middle of holden's sophomore year that absolutely devastated holden. doctor's announced that his beloved little sister had lukeima and only gave her a twenty-five percent chance of making it through. holden was stricken by the news and struggled to watch his little sister go through chemo and lose all of her hair and become so weak. he tried to spend a lot of time away from his home. it wasn't that he didn't love cadence, because he did more than anything, but he couldn't stand seeing her that way.

at the end of holden's sophomore year cadence was still battling her cancer, but her hair was starting to grow back. his mother got a call from an elite academy in america that was looking for a new headmistress. at first she wasn't going to take the job because of cadence's health but then the doctor's told her that america would be better for her. they talked of more clear air and amazing treatment.

that was enough to convince the adult mcallisters. they packed up their bags and headed out really fast. holden was devastated to leave the country that he loved so incredibly much but he said nothing because he knew it was all for cadence. anything to help make her better. he never expressed his unhappiness to anyone, but it's not hard for people to tell that something is wrong with holden.

the mcallister's have been living at canterbury academy for a few months now and holden is still unhappy with things. the only thing that is looking positive is the fact that cadence's cancer is gone for now. the doctor's say that there is still a high chance for it to come back, but holden has hope. he knows that his little sister is a fighter and she can make it through anything.

riding expierence:
holden was riding horses before he was even born. his mother has always loved horses so she rode in the first few months of being pregnant with holden. after he was born, he was riding before he could even walk. holden has just always had this burning passion for horses ever since that young age. he would be nothing without them.

his first pony was a small welsh pony named button. holden got him when he was five and the two were a pair all throughout holden's elementary school years. they competed in pony jumpers and showed all over england, winning lots of awards. when holden hit junior high he had his sudden growth spurt and outgrew buttons within a month or two. he kept the pony, but his parents also bought him a new horse.

holden's new horse was an ex-grand prix horse named midnight mayhem, or may for short. may was a dutch warmblood mare who holden rode all throughout his junior high years. they were a great team and may was patient as holden was learning to do those bigger jumps, learning his distances and such. may took holden through his first grand prix height course. just a year ago, may finally started getting really bad arthritis in both of her rear hocks. holden decided it was time to let her retire. he kept her though and she and button are now good friends.

holden's newest horse is a hanoverian stallion named mr. tambourine man that his parents bought him right before they moved to america. accidents on the plane ride over to america caused manny to become very frightened and skiddish of people and most objects. the pair have been at canterbury academy for a little over a month now and manny has yet to settle down much. holden works with him everyday, but it's going to be a long time before manny completely trusts him.

in the mean time, holden's parents purchased him an american warmblood gelding named homesick blues, or raleigh for short. the gelding is a seven year old so he's still inexpierenced, but holden is working with him to make him a grand prix horse for himself. holden and raleigh work very well together and anyone can see the bond that the two have.

so holden has a pretty expensive taste when it comes to his horse's clothing. he usually tends to buy the best in anything he can find and his parents are perfectly fine with that. he literally has a whole tack room full of expensive tack, some of which he never uses or ever intends upon using. it seems like a waste, but holden is one of those "what if?" kind of people that feels he needs something just in case something does happen one day and he's have to have something and he could just run to his tack room and it'd be there.

holden owns five different saddles. he's got his old stuuben from when he was little and he rode buttons around in it. he never uses it, but it's got that sentimental value so he keeps it around. he's also got an older stuuben close contact saddle he uses now days just for hacking and such. then he's got a henri de rivel close contact saddle for when he goes to shows. he also has a black stuuben dressage saddle for hacking and a really nice one for showing.

holden owns just about any kind of bridle or bit that one would ever need in just about every size. his bridles range from hackamores to dressage bridles to plain english bridles in sizes ranging from pony to draft. if anyone ever needed to borrow a bridle he'd be the one to come to. holden probably has over 100 bits in this very large box in his tack room. he's got some of the most bizarre bits in the world and he could probably find uses for every single one of them.

girths are also something that holden has a lot of. he's got anywhere from the smallest size possible to the largest girth for a huge draft horse. many different kinds and coloes fill his large girth trunk. there are any type of girths imaginable in there. anything from dressage girths to english girths and even a western cinch that showed up in there one day. all different makes as well. ropes girths, leather girths, cloth girths, fuzzy girths, neoprene girths, crossover girths, literally any type of girth at all.

holden likes to keep things matching in his horse world. each of his horses has a specific color that then adorns their halters, blankets, saddle pads, polo wraps, buckets, and everything else. buttons color is yellow. may's color is red, of course. manny's color is a light, sky blue. raleigh's colors are maroon and hunter green.
