Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

Meet Eli. Eli is 32 yo and fresh in town. He's accepted a position as teacher at the Academy - more specific, he now works there to teach the 'kids' the basics of horse racing and eventing, both intro and advanced. He's got a horde of horses (most of which are currently still in the making, but details) who generally are rather heavy for warmbloods or thoroughbreds (on occasion with odd colors). He either races them or competes with them in eventing, which is his preferred sport.

On the other hand, he's also big on 'natural horsemanship' and freedom. Gypsy heritage, one might say. Either way, outside of the horses he's a bit of a recluse, not too easy to start a conversation with. Once you get him talking though, he's a good person to talk with/have as a friend.

Which brings me to the first thing he needs: friends. He isn't always easy to get along with, and while he makes a very good friend, he's also stubborn, has a bit of a temper and spends more time with animals than with humans. I'd like one or two very good friends, gender doesn't matter, and others can be regular friends/acquaintances.

Enemies are a 'must' also, although other than professional annoyance/rivalry/envy I can't think of much. Well, people thinking him rude would work, and as he's a gypsy, there are people who'll think he's a cheater, gambler and horse thief. He isn't - although on occasion he does gamble a bit.

Lovers are welcome to, be it long term or short term. No one night stands, Eli's not the type for that. If you get to him, he'll be a thoughtful and even romantic lover, but it might take a few dates before you get there.

I'm pretty much open for anything - just drop me a reply or a PM and I'm sure we can work something out!
