High Rockies - the story so far
The characters so far in my a High Rockies story:
Eden:
Eden is a girl who prizes truth and nobility of spirit above all else including riches... she has had a very privileged upbringing though so she has never had to want for anything in her life... except a mother. Her mother died from a post natal infection* shortly after Eden was born and she was brought up by her father on his own. Now they have moved to a horse ranch in the Rockies, Eden is hoping that he will meet someone special...
Fargo (Eden's horse):
Also called Kamaal ibn Zafir which means 'Perfect son of Victorious' and his 'family' name is 'Fargo'. Eden chose this name because it reminds her of the horse of one of her favourite actresses Tippi Hedren, in the film 'Marnie'. Marnie's horse was called 'Forio' and he was the one love of her life 😍. Fargo was initially misidentified as a mustang beacause he was running wild with the herd but now a famous breeder has identified him as of Arab descent. His mother had been kidnapped while pregnant and disappeared without a trace. Later Fargo's story was pieced together and it seems the kidnappers had retreated with their prize to a ranch in the High Rockies. They had quarrelled very badly and it didn't end well for that gang of bandits. Nobody knows what they quarrelled over but it could have been about a very valuable mare and her foal... Their herd of Mustang had been abandoned and was only recovered when a local newcomer, a world famous horse veterinarian, moved to the area with his daughter, Eden, and he rescued the horses and treated them... and that's when Fargo's story came to light.
Rory Llewelyn:
Name: Rory Llewellyn
Age: 34
Star sign: Leo
Profession: Horse veterinarian. Now also breeds Mustangs on a farm in the High Rockies
Marital status: single
Family: one daughter, Eden aged 16
Before starting his veterinary training Rory went travelling with his beautiful and headstrong girlfriend, Nusch, who, slightly older than him, had already started studying medicine hoping to go on to specialise as an obstetrician. Rory and Nusch were doing Voluntary Service Overseas when Nusch fell pregnant. She insisted on giving birth in the same conditions as the local women, with tragic consequences; she died from a post natal infection shortly after their baby daughter, Eden, was born. Rory was devastated by the loss of his first love who he had expected to spend the rest of this life with but he clung to the baby daughter they had conceived together. He brought Eden up entirely on his own and for many years they travelled the world together as he built an impressive career as a highly renowned Horse Veterinarian, caring for some of the world's top international race horses . Tired of living such a fast paced existence and above all feeling that he needed to give Eden some roots he has taken the dramatic step of moving them to a horse ranch in the Rockies. Rory has been single for a long time dedicating himself to his beloved horses and his beloved daughter but now they have settled in one place perhaps the time is right for him to meet someone special. Two local ladies have already noticed the handsome newcomer and may be looking to find a way to meet him...
Erin:
Erin has a kind of magic where horses are concerned; they follow her and want to be close to her and she seems to be able to talk to them in ways that calm and comfort them. She rides like she was born on a horse and indeed horses have been in her family in some kind of way for many generations. Her Irish grandfather, Cary, was a saddle maker in Connemara, at the wild West tip of County Galway in Ireland. He fell in love with an American nurse, Katherine, during the war and followed her back to the small town in the High Rockies that is the closest to the Llewellyn Ranch. They had one son, Josh, Erin's father. Josh was a wildly handsome boy with a mass of dark curls, a devilish laugh and a way of playing the Irish fiddle that made all the girls swoon. He made the most of his popularity to the extent that he managed to get not one but two of the local lasses with child. He quickly decided fatherhood was not for him and set off on a road trip that was to become his way of life from then on. He occasionally drops in to visit his two children...
Erin's mother was very young and only just starting her studies when she had Erin and she lived with Josh's parents for a while in Erin's early infancy. But she studied very hard and there came a point that in order progress she had to move to a large city. Because she was unable to work and look after her young daughter she had to leave her little daughter behind with Cary and Katherine, Josh's parents. So Erin was raised by her grandparents and from a very young age indeed showed an almost magical affinity with horses...
