Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt
Horse-tamer and prankster-in-chief. Undisputed champion of the valley — ask anyone, or ask Daredevil.
https://residents.sleepyhollow.test/brom-bonesExperience
Broad-shouldered, double-jointed hero of the country round, famed for feats of strength and horsemanship. More mischief than ill-will in the composition.
Independent (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
Horse-Tamer & Contract Rider — 1786–present
Break and train the valley's most difficult horses, including Daredevil — judged unrideable by everyone else who tried him, and now the fastest horse between Tarry Town and the upper millpond. Undefeated in every race, wrestling bout, and feat of strength in the valley across thirteen years, which has made horse-breaking referrals a business that needs no advertising.
The Sleepy Hollow Boys (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
Founder & Captain — 1789–present
Built and lead a four-man squad renowned for midnight rides, harmless mayhem, and impeccable timing. Delivered the valley's most memorable practical jokes, including one celebrated headless-horseman impression (allegedly), after which a rival schoolmaster left the county and has not been seen since.
Skills and tools
Horsemanship and horse-breaking at the standard others in this valley are measured against, plus night riding, racing, and the handling of animals nobody else will mount. Crew leadership: the Boys ride when and where I say, and have never once been caught. Rival displacement — references available; the rival is not.
Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799.
