Greetings from the Vista Ridge Equestrian Center.

In early 2001, a young man by the name of Gregory Anderson settled his family in the small town of Wolfach, Germany. The Andersons were well known for their sprawling horse farms and prestigious buisness. They built a large ranch on the outskirts of Wolfach, in the Black Forest. They resumed what they had done in Englaned; raised and trained warmbloods for a number of english events, the biggest one grand prix level showjumping. Buisness began to increase steadily, and soon they found that their facility was becoming far too small to accomadate for their clients. So they tore the old barn down, and bought more land, closer to Wolfach.
This new facility was sprawling. By the year of 2007, they became one of the biggest barns in Germany, the Andersons now becoming practically a family name. Things were going extremely well. Soon, professional riders from all over the world were relocating to Germany to get in on the exclusive programs and competitions that Vista Ridge offered. With this demand of buisness, the Andersons expanded their farm again, building a third barn.
But something went terribly wrong. Mid-construction, barn two set on fire. The cause was never discovered. It killed all 72 horses housed there, and 14 barn hands that were caught under burning beams. Several more were injured. The construction on barn 3 was halted instantly, and the farm went into hiatus for unkown reasons.
It is now the year 2010. Gregory Anderson's son, Damian, has decided to re-open the farm. The charred ashes of barn two still remain, but the new barn has been completed. Clients are beginning to flood in with the prestigious farm's re-opening.
But something is going terribly wrong. Clients are staying for only days at a time. Staff are spontaneously leaving for 'unkown reasons'. There is fear in the air. There have been reports of strange happenings at the farm- horses dissapearing, gates left open, and even severe injuries to the horses and staff.
These incidents are becoming more and more frequent. People are worrying over the simplest things. Tragedies on horseback are more common now than ever before. Nobody really knows what's causing all of this. Will you be the one to find out?


Current Forecast and Events.

Button up! It's getting very cold out there. Time to dig out the heavy blankets, and be prepared for the furballs your horses may become. The current date is January of 2010, in the depths of the season of winter.
All classes for the new year are open. Please hurry and sign up for them before the spots are filled. Hopeful staff are encouraged to get their resumes in before Febuary.
Our winter gala is coming soon! The date will be posted shortly.

    barn one was the first original barn built at vista rige. it has two isles and a total of 50 stalls, it has been updated over the years to keep up with competing farms. the barn is heated and cooled. every stall has an automatic waterer, but feeding is your job.

    the cement base is still visible from the fire, and so are a couple of walls. most of it has been cleaned up, but there are still bits of burned wood around. a monument of an angel is in the middle of the ruins, as a remembrance to the horses and people who died.

[ ]Barn Three.
    [image]
    although t should be called barn two, everyone refers to it as barn three. barn three was just finished, and is completely brand new. it has heating and cooling, automatic waterers, and 75 stalls, as well as three tack rooms- unlike barn one,. which only has one.

    although gregory & linda anderson died a while ago, the mansion still stands. it is an authentic german structure, decades upon decades old. damian anderson now lives there. this is a completely out of grounds spot, where you are not allowed to go unless invited.

    all clients staying here are given an apartment room. the apartment building is the most modern-looking building of them all, so it does stick out a bit amoung the more authentic structures. staff are normally not allowed in here, unless their job requires them going in here.

    the staff house has been around nearly as long as the mansion. it is rather large, with fifteen bedrooms and ten bathrooms. it was custom built when the farm originally opened, and there is plenty of room for the employes of vista ridge.
