The Robinhood Farm Family
Management
|
Owned and Managed by Clarissa Robinette.
Clarissa was born and raised on a horse ranch and stayed there until she went to college at eighteen. Once graduated, she left the farm life behind in order to pursue a career in psychology, later retiring early from her position as a college professor and youth counselor. Her first horse during her adult years was Brandy - thanks to this beloved little mare, Clarissa's interest in horses was sparked once more, and she took horse-back riding lessons and took training courses, refreshing her memory on what her father had already taught her. Now, she hopes to run a successful establishment in his memory. |
Trainers
Eeva
|
Eeva came to us quite shy and nervous, rather worried she wouldn't be accepted for the position of a trainer due to her size.
Eeva, however, has proven to be both loyal family, and an excellent horse woman. It saddened us that she was so worried about being discriminated against. Eeva often rides Ella, as she prefers draft horses. She helps Clarissa train the rescues, and gives lessons. |
Grooms
Cassidy Gossner
|
Cassidy Gossner first moved into Robinhood Farms with her older brother, who had been hired as a manager for the farm. However, due to unfortunate and publically undisclosed reasons, Clarissa fired her brother, and took him to court for custody over Cassidy. Her brother gave in, under the condition that the case be kept private. The court agreed, declaring Clarissa to be well qualified to handle Cassidy's care. Under this agreement, Clarissa gained the responsibility of Cassidy's emotional and physical well-being.
Cassidy repays Clarissa by taking on the role of groom at the stable, as well as exercising the horses whenever required. However, Cassidy's main responsibility is to try and keep up her grades and continue her high school career. Cassidy often "forgets" this end of the bargain, and can be found in the horse barn of jogging, occasionally ditching class. Sixteen Senior in high school - skipped a grade. Groom, aspiring model. Currently romantically involved with Darlene Del La Rosa. |
Darlene Del La Rosa
|
Darlene Del La Rosa joined the Robinhood Farm team shortly after Cassidy. Looking for a fresh start herself, she offered the same conditions - in exchange for room and board, Darlene would also become a groom. Darlene, more of a loner and quiet, is often found painting, writing, or out in the stables - however, only after her homework is done. Darlene is a responsible young lady, to which Clarissa is glad she took in. She is patient and sweet to those in her small social circle. Darlene left home in attempt to leave an emotionally and verbally abusive father. The situation had escalated between her mother and father to become physically violent. Darlene's mother openly accepted Darlene's request to live with Clarissa, and now the woman has sought help and got out of the abusive situation, Darlene's father being put into prison.
Darlene still sees her mother on weekends, however she chose to stay on the farm. Nineteen Horse groom, aspiring police officer. Currently romantically involved with Cassidy Gossner. |
Riders
Robinhood Farm hopes to open its doors for affordable hourly lessons and long-term horse camps for battered, abused, and otherwise abused youth, with other therapeutic programs for adult men and women survivors.
