Gryphon's roost
Location: Scottish Highlands, somewhere near Cairngorm
About
Gryphon's Roost is the main stableyard my Loshies are kept at. Situated in a Scottish valley, the area has sloping hills on either side of the farm, and plenty of rolling fields for the horses. The yard is owned by Gryph, who is responsible for training and showing the horses in the Mounted Stock barn. Gryphon's Roost also prides itself on its Loshenka breeding stock, which is always expanding and growing. Recently, Gryphon's Roost has taken on two new stablehands, along with their horses, and is making steps into the world of competing.
Most of the mounted stock is trained in multiple disciplines, but each of them has a skill they exceed in, and these can be viewed on thier profiles. The main colour for Gryphon's Roost is teal, and each horse cas their own personalised tack set with these colours. Relatively new to the competitive scene, Gryphon's Roost is focusing its efforts on getting horses more well known in the competition world.
Gryphon's Roost makes the majority of its money from its horses, mainly from the breeding stock of loshenkas located on the grounds, which boast a wide range of desirable traints and genes, along with some well known lineages. The horses from the competition barn are also becoming a more reliant source of income, as they become more experienced and win more and more of their competitions. The land also hosts a small flock of Hebridean sheep, and a sizable herd of highland cattle, both of which are primarily used for land maintenence, though their wool and milk do help to offset their own costs.
Staff - Main Horse
Gryph - 10923 The Lost Ones (Pan)
Gryph is the founder and owner of Gryphon's Roost, which she started with just her stallion Pan. Located in England originally, Gryph expanded her herd to include a mare, Ginger, and another stallion (Pirate) that she matched with through the makeover event organised by Sagebrush Sanctuary. As her original land became too small for her growning herd, she made the choice to relocate to Scotland, where she has buit Gryphon's Roost into what it is today.
Alexis Reid - 4325 Ruinae Cygni (Cygnus)
A 19 year old stablehand hired by Gryph to help out with the increasing workload. She was offered one of the small cottages on the farm to move into, where she currently resides. She was kindly gifted her own Loshenka to train and compete with, a 4 year old green stallion. To this herd, she has added an older stallion whom she dubbed Sirius, gifted to her by Gryph for her 19th birthday, and a younger mare (Venus) she hopes to train into showjumper.
Kartikeya Aradhya - 12507 Quetzalcoatl (Quetzal)
Kartikeya 'Keya' Aradhya is a 22 year old Indian/Scottish rider who has only recently arrived at Gryphon's Roost, following a succesful job application as a stablehand. Keya joins Alexis and Gryph in managing the horses of Gryphon's Roost, fetching along his own Loshenka herd, who are gunning for the competition world themselves.
