Just on the outskirts of town, a little drive out of the way, lies the main house where Lily lives with her husband, brothers and their girlfriends and of course the dogs. It's a beautiful grand, traditional looking house, with a garden that adjoins the back field of the stables.

This is the office, where Lily does most of the paperwork and sorts out lessons and such. If you're looking for something - perhaps to start riding, loaning a horse, boarding a horse, looking for a job or perhaps you want to put an advert up..then come here and someone'll be here to help!

This is the barn, it's a magnificent wooden structure with fifty spacious loose boxes equiped with automatic water dispensers. It's always kept neat and tidy in the barn, and the doors are locked from eleven pm to six am.

These are the fields, there several of them to split the mares from the stallions, but each field is vast, stretching out for several acres with shelters in case of rain.

These are the arena's, they're set a little bit out of the way from the yard to allow some peace from the hustle and bustle of the yard. They're smoothed over every evening and jumps are kept tucked away within the corners..remember to put them away after you use them!

This is the tack and feed room, tack is kept in neat, labelled rows and the feed is well stocked in labelled feed bins. Make sure you keep the place tidy and remember to clean your tack every now and then!

This is the breeding barn, where stallions offered for stud and broadmares are boarded. It's a top of the range barn with it's own couple of paddocks for the newborn foals and their dam's to be put out to grass until the foal is old enough to be moved to the regular barn.

These are the trails. There are several different paths that will take you off to different places - from a woodland ride, to one that'll lead right to a little secluded beach. Take your pick and enjoy the ride...be careful of the weather though, and the wildlife!

A jungle gym play ground for kids of ages 2-13, with a twisting mass of tunels, climbing frames and ball pits .. and don't forget a seating area for the parents where they can keep an eye on their children and sit back. There's a little counter where you can buy drinks and snacks too!

The sales yard, a place where anyone can come to sell or buy a horse. It's a pretty decent place - the horses are well cared for, and most of the handlers are kind hearted, nice people. Don't forget to PM an admin once you've finished a sales thread.

This is the pet shop! It not only houses pets that were born to be sold here, but also unwanted, abandonned pets that have been left here are also up for sale, and so be awear of that should you come to buy an animal here.

The tack store - quite obviously a place that sells tack! It sells everything from rugs, to sad pads, saddles, bridles and riding clothes..there's even a section for other pet needs just as dog food and leads, and cat food.

Everyone knows and loves Starbucks right? It's a warm, friendly coffee shop that sells a wide assortment of hot drinks - a few cold too - and food.. all of it good stuff. It's a great place to come to meet a friend for lunch or afternoon tea.

This is Woodbain flats, the best place to go if you need a nice, cheap apartment. There are several still available, each equiped with a lounge room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom .. plenty of space!

Pizza Express! The number one place to go to for pizza! They have every kind of pizza you could imagine, and there's always a great atmosphere and good service.

Welcome to Hickstead airport. It's not exactly the largest airport in the country but it's a decent enough size, with aeroplanes flying out all over the world, to America or Australia .. or anywhere you want to go really.

Oldaker Avenue - a quiet little road down which are several of the more expensive houses in Hickstead. Most of the older families live down here - the families who've been lives in Seven Oaks Town for generations.. or the rich out of towners who come from exotice places.

The Luna Lounge - a place that provides both good food, and good entertainment. It's a nice restaurant with helpful, friendly staff, and almost every night there'll be a singer or perhaps a comedian. If you're interested in applying to try and entertain then please consult the owner.

The only nightclub in town..but it's a good one at least. You've got to be 18 or above to enter on most night - but on Thursdays there's an under 18 night .. no alcohol but still. It's a great place, with good music, plenty of space to dance and decent priced drinks.

The vets..every town's got to have one. They're very efficient, with good surgeons and nurses who deeply care for the animals. They're open 24 hours in case of emergency.

This is the doctors, if you have any kind of problem or are worried about your health then come here.. the doctors and nurses are fully trained and efficient.

This is the gym.. it's a pretty well done up place, with state of the art equipment and excellent facilites. You have to sign up to go here, but it's definetly worth the money..and there are several personal trainers to help you.

The town pool.. decent enough - it's a good size, and there's recliners around the edge for people to sunbathe. It often gets busy in summer with all the children splashing about..but there's always lifeguards at hand to keep things in check.

The local movie theatre...it's only small but they always show the latest movies and the popcorns great. It's a little tucked away on the edge of town, but if you know its there then you can't forget it!

Bewear the abandoned warehouse! It might look like an intrieging place to wander upon but it's claimed by a terrible gang who will stop at nothing to get you off their property. Watch out if you venture close..

This is the administrator board.. all shows will be posted here so that you can see what's up and coming and sign up. Ensure you check here for stats on who won the recent shows too!

There is also another building where the ranch hands are able to bunk in. There are fifty head of cattle and room for forty horses. kegan is always looking to bring more horses to the ranch. The place is kept up very well, because of all the family money involved.

Welcome to Spark's Kennels - home to the Spark's family and now run by Beth Spark's along with a couple of helpful hands. They take in abandoned dogs for re-homing or offer boarding for people wishing to go on holiday and leave their dogs in good care. The converted barn is top of the range and everything's kept in good order.

Hickstead secondary school - for years 7-11. It's not a large school, and it's right in the middle of town so you can't miss it.

Open Sands Beach is a beautiful little beach. It's only small, and unfortunately it's more pebbles than stand but it's still lovely scenery, and a glorious place to spend a day out in summer.

Willow Bridge city..a beautiful city which is home to pretty much whatever isn't in town. You have to cross the bridge to get there, but it's larger than Seven Oaks Town and there's more variety of shops.

This is Echo Valley park... a beautiful scenic place where most come to take time out of their lives for a simple walk. It's a little cold in winter, but in spring, summer and autumn it's simply beautiful.

The Legacy Hotel..a rather expensive place to stay for the night but known for it's excellence. The rooms are spacious and well furnished, incredibly grande if you pay for a larger one.

The farmers market - a great place to buy everything from food to wool... it's held every Thursday and if you'd like your own stall then speak to the manager.

Seven Oaks University - renowned for it's high standards and state of the art equipment. It may appear old fashioned from the outside but inside is quite modern. It's a little out of the way so it takes time to get into town, but it's beautiful and a great uni.

This is reception, where you'll find helpful staff always willing to help you out or direct you. If you ever need something make sure you come straight her - visitors make sure you always stop by here first.

This is the university cafeteria. It's very spacious and there's good food, but it gets very busy at meal times so watch out. Mind where you sit too - some groups of friends will claim their tables, and you don't want to get on their bad side.

These are the university grounds, they stretch far and wide and are very scenic. The grounds include fields for sports such as football, rugby and rounders, with a tennis court and also stables seperated off.

The dorms - seperate rooms for girls and boys of course. They're state of the art, with plenty of space and a large lounge-kitchen area for eating and relaxing. Some rooms are shared, some are seperate.

This is the sports hall, where all the indoor sports happen - or where any sports happen when it's raining. Mostly, basketball, trampolining, netball and atheletic sports are played in here.. but there's no set protocall.

This is the first floor corridor..nothing much of interest to be honest. Window's line the wall and along here you'll mostly find all the language classes and sociology and such.

The first floor classrooms - there are ten of them, all roughly the same shape, size and with the same equipment. They're light and spacious, but nothing really of interest.

This is the second floor corridor..much like the first floor it's pretty bland..there are some works or art and writing posts up on the walls and generally the classrooms along here are scienses and maths and such.

The second floor classrooms - most maths, the sciences, geography and such. They're much the same - open and spacious but pretty bland.
