• WELCOME •
Welcome to the town of Lexington, the so called horse capital of the world. You knows, they might just be right. A few minutes out from the city are hundreds, if not thousands, of hectares of lush bluegrass covered land. However, as normal as everything might seem, not all of those friendly neighbours are who they say to be. For humans aren't the only ones to walk the streets in this town. There are others. Vampires, werewolves and even shape shifters. For the most part, they simply live normal lives, or as normal as they can, but you never can be quite sure..

Overview
A beautiful time of the year, if not the most. Nature is recovering from winter, the trees green once more, and flowers in full bloom. It is warm, but not yet overly so. For the most part, the sun stays shining, a few clouds dotting the blue sky, but the occassional shower or two do occur and aren't uncommon this time of year. So get out and have some fun.

• Lexington Riding Stables out in between the rolling hills lies the riding stables. not only is this the best riding academy in the county, but also offers its stable as a boarding facility to those who can't afford their own. apart from the huge main stable, there are many arenas of different sizes for the pupils who ride here and whoever wants to hire them out.

• Indoor Arena near the riding stables are two indoor arenas, right next to each other. here you can train your horse to do a number of disciples, though it is mainly used for english riding. there is a store room with jumps and whatever else you may need to train your horse to become a champion.

• Outdoor Arena quite close to the indoor arenas is the outdoor one. it is quite large and allows riders to perform a number of different disciples. however, as the indoor was for english, the outdoor arena is prefered by western riders. there is also a store room here with various objects and obstacles for your every training need.

• Race Course it is what it sounds like. a race course. not only is the track used for training purposes, but there are also various events held here throughout the year, including a few major races. also, the racing committee runs time trials the first sunday of every month for anyone who wishes to join in the fun, followed by the usual sausage sizzle.

• Cross Country Course one of the best in the country, the cross country course is where many of the major competitions are held all year round. it's a difficult course, and really is a challenge to most riders. however, there is also a small section that is easier and is used as practise, until you're ready to try to main course.

HOUSING • • •
• City Apartments not everyone wants to or can afford to live in the country on hundreds of acres of grass. for those who prefer the city lifestyle, or just want to have the freedom of owning their own place, are these apartments. in the middle of the city, they come in a variety of sizes and prices to suit everyone.
• Town Houses (3 sub-boards) just out of the city, you'll find suburban lexington. here there are houses of all shapes and sizes to suit your daily living needs. some even have paddocks out the back, though not much bigger than for a couple of horses at most. there are also a few vacant lots where you can build the house of your dreams from start to finish.
• Bluegrass Region (5 sub-boards) named after the acres of bluegrass covering the land. this is where you can find all the horse ranches and even the odd cattle station. most of the properties here are huge, with the facilities to do almost anything horse wise. want to become a breeder, racer, or a trainer? then this is the place for you.
• Grasslands pretty obvious from the land i'd think. lands of grass. the lush greenery covers the gently rolling hills as far as the eye can see. the grasslands seem to stretch on forever. there are a number of fresh water sources, including a coupld of ponds, creeks and even a river.

• Forest the forest covers quite a large area. the woods themselves vary slightly, from the light, less dense sort to the dark and frightening, where the trees grow close together allowing limited movement. this is the prefered home for many wild horses that roam these lands, liking the security the forest offers.
• Mountains far from the bustling city lie the mountain ranges. the lower ranges are still covered in sweet grass, but as you get higher the land becomes rocky and both food and water are harder to find. unless of course you know where to look. in winter, it snows quite heavily here, and you can even go skiing.

• Rocky Outcrops within the mountain ranges is an area avoided by most humans, except those most daring of course. the rocky outcrops are just that, rocky. there are a few trails, though all are quite steep and difficult to manouver. there are also a fair few cliffs, as well as a couple of large caves, hardly noticable from down below.
