personality »
Victoria is what you call a spoiled, bitch. She knows nothing but the good life, her mommy and daddy getting her whatever she wants. Though she does have the nicest clothes, expensive horses, and drives an expensive car, she is still uptight and unsure about herself. Victoria fears deeply about dissapointment and becoming what she would call "a normal hobo". Victoria can come off very spoiled and bitchy, but she quite reserved. She is not one of your usual prep-school girls that bags on other girls clothes. She keeps to herself, and has one friend back in Virigina that she could actually call her "best friend". Sometimes she feels like she is not understood, but all her worries and fears wash away when she walks into the arena.
Victoria is a competative person by nature, at a young age in England her grandfather instilled that winning second was loosing, and she has never let that out of her mind. She takes her riding seriously, and never lets anyone or anything get in the way of her staying at the barn for hours lessoning and taking care of her horses. Victoria is also very superstitious. She believes in ghosts, and always wears the same charm bracelet on her left wrist at horse shows and horse shows only.

life history »
Olivia and Benjamin met in their early twenties in London, England while Benjamin was on Christmas Vacation from Harvard Law School. He was visiting his parents in London for the Holiday, when he went to the grocery market to get some milk, bread, and chips. While turning the asile in the market, he ran into a beautiful young women in a designer business suite, whom was holding a gallon of millk.. But now she was wearing the milk. After trying to help her clean up the mess, he asked her out for dinner. He felt it was the least he could do for ruining her suit. Olivia accepted, and they went to a little cafe on the out skirts of town. Olivia and Benjamin were inseperable for the rest of the break, and when Benjamin had to leave to go back to school, her heart broke, but he promised to come back everytime he could.
Benjamin kept his promise, coming back for every break to whisk Olivia away for the week or so he could stay. It felt like there wasn't a moment they weren't in eachothers arms. When Benjamin graduated from Harvard law, he switch to a local university in London to get a two year associates degree in Business. Benjamin was burried in school debt, but vowed to give Olivia the wedding she deserved. Benjamin began working for a law office, and started paying off his school debt. At thirty, he proposed to Olivia and six months later they had a grand wedding. Two years later, Benjamin came home from a court case to see a little stick on the table, and Olivia drinking a decaf, herbal tea. He knew that stick, and it had a little pink plus sign. They were going to have a baby.
Nine months later, Olivia gave birth to Victoria Alexandra Benson. She was doted over, and immediatly became her daddys little girl, and also her grandfathers. Her grandfather was a talented horse trainer, and before Olivia could speak, he had her on the front of his saddle on his Dutch Warmblood Stallion. Two years later the Bensons gave birth to another child, Devon, and Olivia began to ride horses almost by herself. While the Benson's welcome the new child into the family, Grandpa took Olivia to the barn, though she was only two going on three. At three years old Olivia competed in her first horse show, winning first in Lead Line. She kept saying she wanted to do it by herself, and at four years old took her first cross rail on a pesky pony named Cotton.
Olivia rode everyday at her grandfathers farm, where her house was in the back off. She never left the barn and often slept in Cottons stall. At seven years old she began showing in her first rated shows, and at eight her parents announced they were leaving London and going to the United States, where Benjamin had been offered a job that he couldn't refuse. They were moving to Virginia, and things were about to change for good.
Olivia began searching phone books for Equestrian Facilities, and used her mothers work computer to look at pictures of barns on the internet, as soon as she got home from her private elementary school. She soon found the perfect looking barn, West Neck Creek. She began taking lessons just on saturdays, but then it turned into at least three times a week. The insturctors urged Victorias parents to buy her a horse of their own, and later that year came Jack's Revenge. Jack was a feisty, Morgan cross, that jumped huge and beautiful. He was Victoria's first love, but she also had her moments when she hated him. They took to the Virginia 'A' shows with ease, winning most, and loosing few. Victoria became very wrapped up in the scene, and never noticed that while the other girls in her class got to go to sleep overs for birthday parties, she never got invited.
It wasn't until she was thirteen years old that a girl her age walked into West Neck Creek with a pretty bay horse, that she knew what friendship was. Hayley was pretty, poised, wealthy, and just like Victoria. They became best friends, but also worst enemies. They were very competative, and when Hayley would win, they would go on not talking binges. Though those didn't last long, it was always a problem. As they grew they began getting into things like fashion and boys, as well has horses. When they weren't showing or lessoning, they were at the local mall, buying clothes and hitting on boys. It was an innocent friendship, until at sixteen Victoria was introduced to Sean.
Sean was handsome, sweet, and a football player. He had manors and a good family, and he swept Victoria off her feet, just as her father had her mother. He brought her flowers to the barn, and asked her to school dances. He was a typical teenage boy, and with sweet words got Victoria to shed her clothes and give him her innocence. One week later after Victoria denied him another session of sex, he dumped her right in his bedroom and told her to leave. She felt sick and heart broken, but left with her head held high. She did not look at any other boys, and threw herself into her horses and competing. She sold Jack and asked her parents if she could buy new horses. Of course they said yes and she picked out three new ones, one for each event. She didn't trying dating with Hayley, and slowly their friendship began to dwindle. After a few months of moping, she began to seek her only friendship she knew other than horses. She began asking Hayley how she was, and slowly made her way back into Hayleys life. But the friendship was short lived because one day when she came home from the barn with hay in her hair, her father and mother sat her and Devon down at the breakfast table and announced their news.
Olivia had been offered a great job in Dallas, and her father had been offered a job out side of Dallas, in a town called Addison. They were to be moving in two weeks, and starting their new life in Texas. Victoria was not excited, she loved Virgina. Texas was for cowboys and cow manure, not fancy cobble stone stables and rated hunter jumper shows. Not to mention she was leaving the only friend she had ever known behind.
