The things you need to know about North Mountain School, rules, riding levels, and warnings.

This is where I post all of the annoucements and happenings of North Mountain School- I mean the headmistress does.

If you have any comments, questions, or sugestions then post them here and one of the members/staff will get back to you as soon as possible!

If you are new, then feel free to post personal information-free intros. If you are leaving for any amount of time, then post here too lest your account may be deleted. Sorry if it is, but you didn't post.

Here you can create your character. Just hit 'New Thread' and the form will be there for you already! It also says so in the rules...

Here you can create a horse, that is, if your character owns one. We also provide lesson horses, and we'd prefer if you choose one of them, thank you very much.

Across the rolling green hills, there are water troughs, toys, and shelters for your horse, also including an apple orchard and a ravine that is blocked off by a fence. Four horses can be kept in a pasture at once.

Several old-fasioned, antique-like trunks contain grooming supplies and feed, and the walls are magnificently decorated with yellowing horse albums from the 1900's. This roomy Tack & Feed provides all of the tacking and feeding needs for all of North Country's horses.

Surrounding the Lesson Horse Stables is their Block, kept away fromtthe privately owned horses. Each horse has a private paddock, since the Stable is large and roomy. For the students, a huge hay room was provided so early risers can wait for the rest of their class so it can begin.

These stalls are roomy and inviting with the addition of hay nets, water troughs, and a sterling silver plait on the door indicating the stallion who lives there. These paddocks are used for privately owned stallions only.

Trimmed green grass surrounds this barn, which used to be a holding place for old race horses and Clydesdale carriage pullers. The carriages and photos of wins and tropheys still exist, so sometimes the younger children come in a play on these inviting grounds. Sometimes, the experienced riders can try and teach a lesson horse to use the carriage, but more carriages have been lost that way than in other accidents. It is no longer allowed.

This room (60 m but 60 m) is a truly stupendous setup. There are cones and trot poles for your use and benefit, and the Letters are marked with care. We also supply dressage coats just in case. There are also wraps to protect your horse's legs.

This delicately designed arena is designed for all types of jumping. Various kinds of jumping equiptment can be found in the shed, just make sure to put them back when you've finished. A water trough and hay net are supplied for your horse, and for you there is a vending machine for drinks. Please make sure to throw your trash in the trash can, and try not to miss!

If you go down the Grassy Ravine trail and take a left before you hit Sunset Lake, you'll find yourself in a beautiful set of hunting... yes. There's a water jump to one side, and some fake rubber snakes to test your horse's endurance of such things in the shed.

Four large rings are provided here for lunging. Please, one horse per ring. You may use your own tack, or the supplies in the shed. Remember to put everything back where you found it.

A deep gouge in the earth exists on the outskirts of the meadow. It is blocked off by fences, but that doesn't stop overly rambunctios riders from toppling over the edge...

Halfway across this well-ridden trail is an old bridge. It's sturdy and still usable, though it may not look that way. On sunny days, it's bright and cheerful-looking, but on rainy days, the bridge looks like it's about to be washed away by the river.

Winding through the rocky hills of the Adirondack Mountains, a horse trail resides. It is the least commonly used trail because you must stop at least five times to remove rocks from your horse's shoes.

A long stretch of endless sand. No trees. In the old shed, dustbunnies so big they actually look like rabbits. That's the Desert Mountains for you. Rarely anyone who isn't an Experienced or Advanced rider comes here, and in Freshman and Eight grade, the school takes a trip here for three days, in the hot, desert sun.

If you are ever hungry during the middle of the night, or wwant a snack in between class periods, then you'd come to the kitchen and louge. Surrounding the small island in the middle are several comfy armchairs. On the left, the eat-you-alive chair is nearest to the fireplace, and the color scheme is of brilliant gold and red.

Ever curious about where the headmistress sleeps, considering she doesn't sleep with the other instructors? Well, she sleeps right here, in a small house that used to be a guest home when the school was still a mansion.

The teacher's dorm is strictly out of bounds here at North Mountain School. No student shall be permitted here, and any student has yet to get in.

For some reason, the First Floor always smells like fresh hay. Here there are dorm room N300-N305.

The Second Floor of Noelle Hall is always hot, no matter how much air conditioning you turn on. It contains dorm rooms N306 through N310.

Pictures of old horseback riders run up and down this floor. Contains dorm rooms N311-N315.

This is the First Floor of Stamey Hall, which always is frigid. Contains dorm rooms S400-S401.

On the Second Floor of Stamey Hall, it always looks like a scene out of a castle. The lights never work, so the only light they get is from the end windows and from the rooms. Contains dorm rooms S406-S410.

It's rumored that the ghost of James Stamey still lurks around these corners... Contains dorm rooms S411-S415.

Here is where you sign up for riding lessons and other sports and also where you claim a celebrity and get your class schedule.

Surrounding this court yard are seven large stones, each about six feet apart. In the center of the trimmed green grass is a marble fountain of a black horse, rearing up on it's hind legs. The fountain was donated by James Stamey.

These woods are strictly off limits to horseback riders. Instead, skiiers come here and follow a trail up to the mountains. Hikers take a different trail to the ravine.

The sun's rays rebound off of the ever glittering surface of the Lake. Occasionally, students will go for a swim, and sometimes horses will too.

If your horse, cat, dog, or any other species of animal gets sick, bring them here. The vet will be happy to help them feel better!

You can adopt a pet here, cat, dog, rodent, or reptile with the permission of your parents.

Here is the somewhat PG13 club for students 13-18. Of course, older students/teachers can come, but it's not advised.

Settled in the rocky mountains of Northern New Jersey, this fine new academy is one of the top schools in the North America for it's faculty, equestrian program, dormitories, and creative enviorment.
