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...
This is an chilled out rpg with a super friendly and relaxed atmosphere! Remember to sign up with your characters full name in all caps and don't forget to do your claims! Thank you and Welcome, we've been established since 10th March 2009 but unfortunately have had to close guest view of our boards due to multiple sites ripping off our hard work, such a shame! Come chat to us in Discord before joining if you like!.
The riding lessons provide experience to the horse and rider which then allows skill points to be earned, offering the possibility of increasing your horse's skill points by partaking in lessons. There is, naturally, a downside. These lessons can also cause a skill point to be deducted from your horse's attributes depending on how well the lesson goes.
Once you have signed up to your chosen discipline and the sign-up has been confirmed, the instructor will post the lesson thread and a staff member will roll a dice. The dice roll will decide whether the lesson runs smoothly, or not so smoothly, and ultimately decide the consequence of the thread.
Odd numbers (1,3,5) - result in a bad lesson - minus a skill point Even numbers (2,4,6) - result in a good lesson - plus a skill point
The contents of the lesson are entirely your design. If it goes poorly, it could simply be a few poles down, confusion between horse and rider aids, or even a fall. The only thing you cannot decide is whether the lesson goes well or not. The lessons are split between individual or group classes, and which one you pick will make a difference.
Individual lessons - 2 skills points available Group lessons - 1 skill point available
With individual lessons being more 1 on 1, 2 skill points are available, whereas with group lessons having a more split focus, it's just the 1 point. Don't forget however that this could mean the possibility of losing 2 skill points if your private lesson goes wrong!
Once the lesson has been completed, it's up to you to decide on what skill point is increased or decreased, and you have the following options to choose from, as per the show sign-up sheet right here:
Scope -the horses' ability to clear the jumps. Agility -the horses' speed, balance, and precision. Courage -the horses' bravery when facing uninviting jumps.
