Hello! I am Emily Nightvalley, but you can call me Toilet! I am Level 24 in-game and own lots of untrained horses. I have been in the dressage community for five or more years and found my passion in teaching. I am an advanced rider boasting a plethora of teaching gigs which I love doing. I was a Star Stable Dressage instructor before the program retired, and am now an OS teacher in The Dressage Academy. I was the first teacher to achieve teaching under two niches! Another thing you should know about me is that I am also apart of Royal Regiment Dressage. I am a leader in the team, and apart of the Frosty Babes trial batch. (Love y'all)

How are you??? Intro aside, I ride horses and really love music. Specially, the grunge/punk scene. Gaming is also one of my hobbies. As for games, I love story games. I enjoy playing Residents Evil 6, Red Dead Redemption, and horror games. Also, rahhhh fun fact! I play bass and have a vinyl collection. My role in CP is moderating events, and making sure the new trials feel welcomed.

​Do not fear my dears, Felix is here! Corny intro aside, I began playing SSO in April of 2022 and was introduced to dressage by some friends and fell in love with the discipline immediately. I am mostly self taught, but my dressage knowledge has grown by leaps and bounds ever since I found the TDA server and have been attending dressage lessons and clinics. So grateful to have such a warm and helpful community. You can usually find me training on SSO while listening to podcasts or working with our riders to expand their understanding of dressage and improve my skills as an instructor. Feel free to say hello if you see me in game or around Discord!

“You guys stress me out”
I have a hard time writing when it comes to me, so I asked my friends to do it for me! (call me egotistic if you will). Ari is a very kind person. They are thoughtful yet also honest and able to comprehend one’s situation while also commentating on it. Ari is a very good person to have in your life. Ari is a feat of genuine unchained creativity and ambition. Ari is the star that empowers the whole sky to shine brighter. In Ari’s actions and words they uplift themselves higher than their fears and obstacles.

Hi! I'm Zygzak and I'm from Poland. Rn I'm 19yo and I own my dressage team on polish servers. I'm also an riding instructor irl, so being a teacher is something natural for me. I love planning everything! That's why I choose to apply for weekly agenda manager! Also a fun fact of me is that my name is a polish translation of the character 'Lightnight McQueen' from Cars movie and I got it bc I'm a really speed.

"Onna Onna prima-donna"
Hi, I'm Onna! I'm a 19 year old biology student by day and a dressagist by night. I've been playing SSO for about 12 years now, I've been obsessed with horses ever since I could remember. After I finish undergrad, I plan to go to vet school to be an equine/farm animal vet! I've been surrounded by animals all my life, and currently my family has 4 cats, 2 dogs, some fish, and a bird (and some other miscellaneous pets). I am also a huge advocate for mental health and neurodivergency. Just because our brains work different doesn't mean we should be ashamed of who we are. You are loved! <3

"When in doubt, ope it out"
Hi my names Wilma but people come up with the weirdest nicknames for me including -ma, wilamina, wilgery, willie nilly, and many more I cant remember I've been playing SSO for around 8-9 years and have all of my horses maxed except for the new ones I recently bought. I remember my friend teaching me dressage at the old RA and I immediately fell in love. In real life I shot shotguns in competitions and when I win or place the money goes towards a college fund! I am very interesting in law enforcement as my occupation and I am currently in a class about law enforcement through a school program <3
