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...

show name • The Little Prospector owned by • SAMPSON FREYR GRAVES barn • Diesel Ranch age • Twenty breed • Mini Horse height • 7 hands discipline • Pack Horse for Short Distances, Being Adorable gender • Gelding likes • Jolly Balls, Smacking the taller horses with said Jolly Balls, Nipping his siblings, Generally being annoying, Carrots - all the carrots, Rolling in Mud and Dirt immediately after a bath dislikes • His siblings not thinking he's fun, Being Ignored, Grooming - why be clean when you can be dirty, His jollyballs being taken away, Dirty Saw Dust (the one thing he does not appreciate), Treat Control strengths • Adorableness, Knowing when the Limit is Pushed weaknesses • A big patch of dirt, Carrots, The need to be annoying fears • Whips, Baseball Hats overall personality • They say annoyances can come in all shapes and sizes. At Diesel Ranch, look no father than Nugget. If horses could talk, Thumper and Damsel would always be groaning the minute he's let out into the pasture. He has a love of mischief, whether its with humans or his pasture mates, and has known to escape from the pastures in-between the fence boards. There's a lot of sass in a such a little body, but Nugget makes it look easy. He generally enjoys being with humans, but hates baseball hats - something that Sam could never figure out but figures it has to deal with the past. Nugget is happiest when best left to his shenanigan's in the pasture, but will happily follow Sam and his mount of choice out for a good picnic trail ride.

future owner • EVANNA MAXINE GARNET barn • Sale Yard age • Four breed • Knabstupper height • 15.2 hands discipline • TBD gender • Mare likes • Running, Rolling in the dirt, Apples, Sleeping under the warm sun, Bucking and having fun dislikes • Trailers, Humans (confused by them), Ropes, Small spaces, Loud Noises strengths • Quick-footed & Knows where her feet are weaknesses • Loves Food & Can't pass up a good mud puddle fears • Thunderstorms overall personality • Elna, meaning Ray of Sunlight, is a funny little mare when she isn't stuffed into a trailer and shipped from auction to auction. Elna enjoys giving herself a good dirt bath to help with the pesky flies. Chewing on apples that have fallen under the trees and sleeping under the nice warm sun. Elna doesn't have much contact with humans other than being chased, roped, and drug into trailers. Being chased around small pens with crack of whips sending her in whatever direction that they want her to go. Her curiousness of humans turned into fear and anger and you will see her striking out and trying to keep distance between them.
show name • Luxury Engineering owner • HARLOW FREYA ALENKO barn • Ryan Sport Horses LLC age • Seven breed • German Warm Blood height • 17 hands discipline • Show Jumping gender • Stallion likes • Apricots, Apples, Blueberries, Grain, Going Fast, Bracing against the Bit, Any sort of Jump, Goats & Other Companion Animals, Cold Weather dislikes • Pears, Watermelon, Hay, Hot Weather, Birds, Flat Work, Patience, Being Ignored strengths • Brave, Big Jumps weaknesses • Hustling Strides, Treats fears • Airplanes - Being moved from Germany to England was not his cup of tea overall personality • If one remembers the scene from 101 Dalmatians where the dogs looked and acted like their humans, the same could be said of Beamer and Harlow. Big. Flashy. Hot Headed. Prideful. Those are the words that are often tossed around when it comes to the German Warmblood. He's young, able, and fully into his prime now. While a majority of his hot mess anxious days are over now, and Beamer has matured into the fully capable horse that he was promised to be, he can still have his silly days. However, he's down to take on any jump or challenge that is thrown his way - even when his two 'brothers' want nothing to do with him.

show name • ICU HATIN' owner • HARLOW FREYA ALENKO barn • Ryan Sport Horses LLC age • Eleven breed • Haflinger x Warmblood Cross height • 16.2 hands discipline • Show Jumping gender • Gelding likes • Harlow, Aristocrat, Cross Poles, Sharp Turns, Home Made Horse Popsicles, Pasture Time, Greeting People from his Stall, Snow dislikes • Beamer - He's Annoying, Not Getting Enough Harlow Time, When Lessons and Training sessions go over 50 minutes, Vegetables - He prefers his fruits, Rain strengths • Sharp Turns, Small to Medium Sized Jumps weaknesses • Doesn't Like Sticking to Corners, Requires a lot of Leg & Spurs fears • Being Forgotten About in his Stall when Others are Let out overall personality • Alpha is as his name suggests, he likes to be in charge of the herd and his friends as much as possible. The gelding doesn't do well when it comes to new introductions into the herd or his life, making him a jealous horse when other horses swarm his owner out in the pasture. Nonetheless, what Alpha lacks in horse friendship, he more than makes up for with people. He's an absolute cuddle bug, always looking for attention and a person to greet from his stall. He's always more than willing to work, and will gladly go out for lessons or a hack, but Alpha's internal clockwork seems to know once 50 minutes have passed, and he will promptly try to turn into the center of the arena for the dismount whether his rider has directed it or not.

show name • A Gentleman's Legacy owner • HARLOW FREYA ALENKO barn • Blue Arces age • Nineteen breed • English Warmblood Cross height • 17 hands discipline • Show Jumping gender • Stallion likes • Long Grooming Sessions, Falling Asleep in Cross Ties, Sunbathing in the Pasture, Long Hacks in Open Field, Moderate Level Jumps dislikes • Big Jumps (He's getting arthritic), Being Rushed, Young Stallions who think that they're Hot Shit, Watermellon Rines, When Harlow comes to visit strengths • Big Heart, Brave Jumper weaknesses • Lazy outside of the Arena, Doesn't care for the Stablehands fears • People Wailing on him (There's a reason why Harlow retired him instead of sold him) overall personality • Aristocrat lives up to his name and is a pure gentleman of a horse - a gentle giant. He's rather docile and polite, especially with Harlow and loves to be doted upon. When he's not with his human, Aristocrat prefers to be louging out in the field and basking underneath the sun. While he's no longer competition, he still requires some light riding - he gets depressed otherwise, and often looks forward to small to moderate jumps now, although he'll grow sour at anything bigger due to his oncoming arthritis which is managed with pain medication. Given he requires a serious rider still, and hates being wailed upon with aggressive legs or frustrated riders, Aristocrat lucked out in Harlow opting to keep him to live out his retirement days. For that, he will always make sure to give her his heart and be brave in most situations.
