PJO Equestrian Au

-Just imagine it

-They all go to a barn called SPQR Equestrian Center or maybe something like Neptune Stables

-Chiron is the head coach

-Silena is the assistant coach who is fresh out of college and always spoils the horses rotten with mints and sugar cubes from her dad's candy shop

-Her boyfriend Charles Beckonford works as a Farrier (makes horse shoe's and puts them on horses' hooves) and swings by the barn a lot, even if he isn't needed

-Then he bought a horse named Festus as an excuse to see Silena more (and because he loves horses)

-His apprentice/assistant Leo, tags along and Beckonford lets him ride his horse

-To be honest Leo rides that horse more often then Beckonford does and gives Festus loads of baby carrots so now he's basically Leo's horse

-Festus is toats in love with Silena too but I mean who isn't?

-Percy has the record for most falls off a horse, but it's not Blackjack's fault, it's because Percy does stupid shit

-"Hey Annabeth! Look! No hands- AHHH!"

-Blackjack will come over to his fallen rider and give his face a big lick and Annabeth will roll her eyes, trying to hide her smile

-Blackjack is also known as donut because once there was a box of shipley's donuts on a tack chest and Blackjack grabbed it and tried to eat the donuts, box and all

-Cue 4 riders simultaneously freaking out and trying to get the box out of Blackjack's mouth because that can't be healthy for a horse's stomach

-Percy is laughing and crying as he throws away the box of crushed and horse slobber coated donuts

-Tyson pats his shoulder, it was probably meant as a comforting gesture but Tyson is so big he nearly makes Percy eat dirt

-Tyson doesn't compete in shows like Percy because he gets way too nervous, but he loves riding his Clydesdale, Rainbow

-Grover is a stable hand and basically the guy you ask if you need help

-Percy wouldn't have survived his first month at the barn without Grover's help because "What the hell is a martingale? Do you think this is too loose? Which way do you wrap polos again?"

-(Percy was to embarrassed to ask Miss Perfect Annabeth for help)

-Annabeth has a horse named Yankee as a play on "Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a pony" (also her Yankees invisibility cap cause I'm so clever)

-Annabeth is the most experienced rider at the barn

-She's been riding since she was 7

-Yankee was an anonymous gift she got on her 12th birthday and Annabeth believes it was from her mother who mysteriously disappeared after she was a year old

-She's never told anyone this belief but her best friend Thalia who's house she practically lives at given her not so good relationship with her stepmother

-People often mistake her for Jason's sister and she loves it telling Thalia she'll trade her half brothers for Jason

-Thalia then hooks her arm around Jason and pinches his cheek saying "I wouldn't trade this guy for the world" and Jason is blushing like Thalia stahp

-Jason is a pretty skilled rider himself, competing in shows and earning ribbons with his horse Tempest who has an awful attitude around everyone, but loves his girlfriend piper who comes to hang out and watch him

-Jason glasses keep falling off when he goes over jumps, so he ends up having to tape them onto his ears

-Piper finds this very amusing

-Piper is at the barn just as much as the others and they forget that she doesn't even go there

-what Piper doesn't say is that she likes being there because it's better than her empty mansion

-Her dad once asked her if she wanted to start horseback riding but Piper has what she calls a cautious perspective of horses and prefers to just go on trail rides

-she steals... I mean "borrows" Tempest

-Hazel is the barn's best barrel racer and she adores her horse Arion who the others swear she trained to be an attack dog or something because if anyone tries to touch him but Hazel he freaks out and starts bucking and kicking and foaming at the mouth

-But then Hazel comes up and suddenly Happy Ears! He'll sweetly nuzzle her pocket, searching for treats and Hazel will hold up a horse cookie saying "give me a kiss first"

-and the others think he's gonna bite her but he just lips at her cheek then she gives him the cookie and a neck rub while he munches on his treat, cooing about what a good boy he is and the others are shook

-Nico comes to the barn to support his sister and absolutely does not look at Percy in those tight riding pants

-then one day a vet trainee comes by because a horse got sick and Nico is down like oh man he's got it bad

-the cute blonde is telling Chiron about the horses boo-boo's and scrunches up his face when he thinks hard about what they should do so Porkpie can get better

-Hazel notices Nico's not so secret crush and asks Will to take a look at her horse and oh by the way this is my brother Nico

-Nico ain't sure whether he wants to hug or strangle Hazel but he feels something because his stomach seems to have gone into his throat and gah!

-Frank is new to the barn and still kinda finding his way around

-He's given the tour by Percy then he sees Hazel riding Arion and looking fan-freaking-tastic

-And Frank is like whO iS thAT

-He has a total crush on her but Hazel is oblivious

-Percy ships it

-Frank has a huge draft horse he calls Gray

-Gray used to be his mom's army calvary horse and Frank got into riding as a way to be closer to his dead mother

-But Frank is terrified of that horse because he's ginormous and is prone to "moods"

-Reyna is the best rider in the barn and she knows it. Her and Scipio are always in perfect sync and look amazing

-Reyna really scored with Scipio because he's a total sweetheart and every one else is in love with him

-He was nicknamed skippy by Jason and it stuck

-No one calls him Scipio

-it's Skippy

-Reyna always shows up to practice early and goes up to the barn every day to check on skippy even if she doesn't have a lesson

-She's freaking dedicated okay

-to be honest the barn is basically the teens second home

A/N: I ride horses so I basically spit up a million head canons Sorry! Feel free to ask me about this au because I've fallen in love with it already. This is au is all that's gonna be on my board for the next month. You have been warned.

Approached the Meander

December the 3th.

We proceeded on our journey, and the first part of this day’s ride was very unpleasant, as we had for three miles a bad causeway to travel over till we approached the Meander,1 over which there was a wooden bridge of considerable height and length, without battlements and very narrow ; and the construction of it appeared so feeble, that we did not cross it without apprehensions. Here we paused to view this celebrated stream, and bring to our recollection the great events which took place on its banks and will perpetuate its name. Here we fancied we trod the ground where the great Antiochus sustained a total overthrow from Lucius Scipio one hundred and fifty years before Christ,1 in which] he lost fifty thousand foot and four thousand horse with fifteen elephants.

At twelve we reached a poor village called Zachonona about fifteen miles from Magnesia. We had sent our mules with the baggage forward. As we reached this place before them, and had not passed them on the road, we were seriously alarmed, and apprehended that the black slave who was with the baggage had either run off with our effects or was plundered. We remained for two hours in this painful suspense, and were at length relieved by the arrival of the negro, who had taken a different road, by which he had gone several miles out of his way. After having blamed each other for having separated from him, as he had in his possession every valuable and all our money, we resolved to be more prudent for the future.

Attack on our cold provisions

We retired to a kind of barn, where we made a violent attack on our cold provisions. We removed part of our valuables from the trunks and secured them in [our] own pockets. Here we were honoured with a visit from the Governor of the village, accompanied by fifty other Turks, who all appeared in uniform misery. They seated themselves on the ground around us and entertained themselves with admiring our fire-arms, which, we were pleased to find, they were sensible of being well loaded.

Short Story 8: Horse Ride

My hooves dug into the soft soil as I galloped faster and faster down the dirt road. My mistress, a mere thirteen year old girl, clung to me like a fly to a cow; her shrill laughter hung in the air around us.

“Faster, Scipio! Faster!” she cried as she clasped my mane in her hands and leaned on my neck. I whinnied and galloped the hardest and fastest as I could manage.

Suddenly, my mistress pulled back on my mane, forcing me to a halt. I wondered why she stopped me until I looked ahead. Galloping towards us was Jet, a might black stallion, ridden by my mistress’s sixteen year old brother. They too stopped, right in front of us. The boy slipped off of Jet and gave us both an angry glare.

“Jenna! Where have you been? Father has been blowing his top trying to find you!” the teenager bellowed.

“I-I’m sorry,” my ever so meek mistress replied, “I was just taking Scipio for a ride through the woods.

The boy put his head in his hand and shook his head; Jet continued to glare at me. “Come on Jenna,” the boy said as he jumped back on Jet, “let’s go before Father destroys the house to find you.”

We trotted into the courtyard by the time night fell. My mistress and her brother slipped off of Jet and me, led us into the barn, groomed us, and placed us in our stalls with our dinner. We ate in silence until Jet lifted his head and glared at me through the bars. I swallowed the mouthful of oats I was chewing and looked at him. “What?” I asked.

“Scipio, you know Jenna wasn’t supposed to be riding, nevertheless galloping.” the stallion said in a low voice.

“Well, I was only doing what she wanted me to. Besides, she’s no longer sick, remember?”

The ebony Percheron glared at me. “Even if she’s well, you know she is still frail. You need to take better care of your mistress and be less of a push-over.”

I hung my head. “Yes, Jet. I will.” I mumbled softly as I lowered my head back into the manger and continued to eat.

How did Percy ever get blackjack? And how long has he had him?

-You thought you’d just get Percy’s story but jokes on you your getting more than that! -In my first post I told you how Annabeth, Frank, and Leo got their horses but the rest of the riders have their own stories

-Percy got blackjack when he was 13 -His mom’s new book had been a rousing success and they finally had enough money to buy a horse -The set off on a quest to find the horse that was just right for Percy (and within their budget) -He tried loads of horses, mares, stallions, and geldings, even a zebra, but none of them seemed right -Chiron advised Percy to be patient and not rush into buying a horse, he also says something mysterious about how the right horse will pick him -Percy decides to ignore that, he thinks Chiron is just trying trying to be cool by quoting Harry Potter -Months later when Percy is at one of Annabeth’s shows he sees the strangest thing -a rider on a jet black horse does a course almost flawlessly, to be honest it looks like the horse is doing all the work -they come to the final jump, a big 2 foot oxer surrounded by blue and yellow flowers -the horse approaches the jump, cantering right for it, just a foot away -and then the horse stops -a full out Reiner stop that sends the rider flying out of the saddle and into the dirt -the horse is happily munching on the jump’s flowers as the rider glares at him, not hurt, just pissed -Percy couldn’t help but laugh even if he felt a little sorry for the disqualified rider -later as Percy was leisurely walking past some stalls a horse suddenly sticks their head out and grabs the giant pretzel he’d been eating -Percy does a double take -It was the same black horse from before! -Then he comes to his senses and tries to save his pretzel -but it’s too late -the pretzel is gone -Percy glares at the horse who looks back at him oh so innocently -Then he notices the for sale sign on the door -Blackjack, 15.7 h, Gelding, Arabian cross, Has personality *Price has been reduced* -Percy snorts, he knows exactly what the sign means by personality -But the part about the price reduction catches his eye -Arabian horses were usually pretty expensive, this could be a good deal if Percy could train his bad habits out of him -So Percy asks Annabeth and Grover for help -They track down the horse’s owner who turned out not to be the rider that took a tumble earlier but a woman -Blackjack belonged to a strange lady named Andromeda -She looked kinda sketchy but told them the price which turned out to be a little less than what they were expecting -Well to be fair the horse did have a personality problem -Percy brought his mom and Chiron next and after a heaping load of paper work and a big chunk being taken out of the Jackson’s bank account -Percy now owns a horse -He tells Annabeth to watch out because her and Yankee are gonna have some competition -Annabeth laughs and tells him to keep dreaming

-Jason’s old coach Lupa helped him “shop” for a horse -They go to an auction and he sees a crazy horse that’s thrashing against the rope that’s tying it to the wood wall -Jason think about how he’s definitely not getting that horse -Suddenly a plank in the wall rips off and the horse bolts, dragging the rope and board behind it -Lupa stands in the horses path and tells Jason to grab the rope -Jason doesn’t want to grab the rope -the horse has clearly been possessed by a demon -but he does it anyways because he’s more scared of what Lupa will do if he doesn’t -Nothing is scarier than an angry Coach Lupa (they call her a wolf for a reason) -the horse of course tries to bite his hand off, but Jason stand his ground and manages to get it to calm down a bit -The owner comes up to thank them for stopping Tempest and Lupa nods saying they’ll buy the horse as well -Jason jaw drops -She wants him to ride that wild thing? Is it even tame? -Lupa buys the monstrous mare and takes it back with them (Tempest is a mare in this au because it fits better to the horses’ personality, if you’ve ever seen an angry mare you know what I mean) -Jason eventually figures out that Lupa chose Tempest for Jason to toughen him up -He was too nice to the horses and let them have their way -That wasn’t good, so Lupa got him a horse that forced him to take charge and not let the horse be the boss -Now Jason can handle almost any bullshit a horse might dare to throw at him thanks to his old coach -Jason eventually transfers to Neptune Stables when’s he’s 15 because Lupa retires and Thalia suggests he go to the same barn as her best friend Annabeth -At high rank shows Jason will sometimes see Lupa’s sons competing and even say hello or wave to Lupa if she’s nearby

-Hazel goes to the rodeo with her dad’s assistant, Thanatos, and her brother, Nico (who she’d practically dragged there, because don’t leave me alone with dad’s creepy assistant) -Nico insists they’re just here for the show -No more horse shopping -Hazel had been wanting her own horse ever since she started barrel racing -The lesson horses were great but she couldn’t help but want her own horse -She’s been shopping for horses since her dad finally crumbled on her 14rh birthday and said she could get a horse -Once Nico is distracted by the concession stand food, Hazel sneaks off to take a quick peak at the horses -She is walking by the stalls when suddenly a horse neighs and kicks it’s stall door so hard that the wood shudders -Then an angry looking woman marches in, she opens the horse’s stall window and yells “ARION! QUIT THAT RACKET!” And stalks off, leaving the window open -the horse, Arion, pokes his head out and looks at Hazel with curious eyes -Hazel can’t help herself, she stretches out her hand to pet his nose, a little wary because he might try and bite her -Arion allows her to rub his nose, even going to nuzzle her hand in return -Hazel’s in love -There’s no going back -then Hazel phone chimes with an angry text from Nico demanding to know where she is -Hazel pouts and reluctantly leaves Arion after one final bye bye pat -Hazel’s walking back when she runs into the lady from before, the one who yelled at Arion -Before she knows what she’s saying Hazel asks if he’s for sale -The lady laughs and says he’s been on sale for 4 years now and that it’s owner just wants to get rid of Arion because of his unruly behavior -Since no one has bought him their gonna sell Arion to the slaughter house -Hazel is appalled -How could they even think of sending that majestic creature to be killed and made into dog food -No, Hazel decides, she won’t allow it -and that’s how she ended up buying him after sweet talking Nico and Thantos

-When Reyna gets Scipio, Hylla insists their just leasing him -Yeah, they fully bought him after two months -I was to lazy to make up a big story for Reyna -Sorry
