Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

overall history • Scandal was born on a stud farm near Newmarket that produced race and sport horses. Many of her parents' foals would go on to be racehorses, but Scandal didn't show much interest in racing. She was eventually sold to a trainer when she was two. The trainer discovered Scandal's talent for jumping and dressage and trained her for eventing. She'd finished training when she was six and would be on the market as an eventing prospect for a year until Cora's grandfather purchased her as a gift for Cora.
At first, Scandal was a bit too much for Cora to handle, Scandal was unsure of her new owner and wasn't keen on listening to a stranger. Cora's solution was to earn Scandal's trust through hours of caring for the young mare until they'd formed a bond and learned to trust each other. Scandal inspired her owner to pursue a degree in horses, much to the disapproval of Cora's grandmother, who only saw Scandal as a distraction from Cora making something of herself. Cora would choose to board Scandal at Seven Oaks to spite her grandmother, who wanted her to go to Blue Acres, but Cora wasn't going to let her grandmother walk all over her.
