The finished product!

@RidgeRunnerStables is hosting a showjumping clinic led by Dave Burton, himself! (This is more of a story thing for my own plotlines but I'm opening it up for anyone that would like to be in the image I'm making!) Location is set at the Northern Branch of RidgeRunner Stables in Eugene, Oregon; USA.

Weather will be pleasant transition to late fall with a gentle breeze, some clouds probably so a great day to be in the outdoor arena (riders will be dressed reasonably).

The horses have been preselected for this clinic to ensure the safety of the riders. They are all well-mannered, well-trained, seasoned horses.

What I need from you: riders! I have 10 horses selected and not enough butts to fill the saddles! While I could make up riders, no problem, I wanted to open the floor for anyone that had riders that would fit the "clinic" atmosphere. This is going to be a lower level kind of beginner/intermediate clinic so your seasoned Grand Prix rider will be very bored and less likely to be picked over a greenhorn looking for a safe environment to learn.

This will NOT be first come, first served! This will be a large project and take time. (Probably a month or two) So while I work, I will select a rider I feel fits the vibe I'm going for best. If there's no rider for a specific horse by the time I get to drawing it, I will just supply one of my own <3 no ghosts here!

What I'm looking for:

Beginner to intermediate riders (no set age requirements, just able to ride independently and follow directions)
Riders suitable for the horse (height mostly)
They do not need to be "human" but I'll probably be more keen on drawing human-esque over Cthulhu
This is a showjumping clinic; tack will be standard English, attire will be standard riding clothes including breeches, boots, and a helmet (you're welcome to let me know what kind of top they'd be wearing in fall weather like a coat, jacket, long sleeves~)
Rider needs to have some kind of visual I can see for a reference (drawn by you, commissioned, sims, doll creator, artbreeder, etc. that's all fine just something to work with)

Brief Rules to How This Works:

There will be comment links listed for each horse featured - please comment on these with your rider information
You can choose up to 3 of your riders
You can choose up to 3 horses per rider you think they would pair nicely with (you don't have to pick three) This way if I choose someone else for a horse you wanted, there's a chance I can pick your rider on a different one instead.
These limits are just to avoid "everyone on anyone spam" that would make my organized soul cry.

Important Notes: (if there's any specific traits that may affect how they are drawn such as personality, a physical impairment, that favorite walrus plushie they HAVE to ride with, a favorite shirt, etc.)
