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...

Dogs and Cats Kegan believes in having a solid connection between herder and their dog. She has implemented a training system where they can bond and learn together. There are also livestock protection dogs for the cows, and a few barn cats to help keep pests away.
Herding Dogs These dogs live with their handler, or in a kennel if their handler lives off-site.
The Cattle Kegan kept the forty of the original cattle but added a herd of ten English Longhorns, and ten Highland.
English Longhorn English Longhorns are large lean beef cattle with an impressive sweep of horns that curve down to around the nose. These impressive horns are valued in the pedigree. The body may be any one of a wide range of brindle colors (including colors from red to grey) but they all have the characteristic white line or "finching" along the back and down the tail, which is passed onto their crossbred progeny. Cows range in height from 130 to 140cm and weigh 500 to 600kg. Males average 150 cm in height and 1000 kg in weight.
Uses: Meat, Dairy
Highland Highland cows are a hardy breed with a double coat of hair that makes it easier for them to withstand harsh conditions. They have a thick undercoat that insulates them from cold temperatures and an oily outer coat that gives them their cute, furry appearance.
Uses: Dairy, Fiber
Limousin The Limousin is large, fine and has a strong boned frame. Mature Limousin females should average 650 kilos and mature males 1000 kilos. The head is small and short with a broad forehead, and the neck is short with a broad muzzle.An early-maturing breed, Limousins naturally produce young, but mature, lean beef in the medium weight range demanded by supermarkets and for intervention supply.
