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...

Leo turned his face to the sun as he headed down to the arena. It was a glorious day. April had been wet and miserable, but May had brought a turn of the tide with the sun out blazing for the past several days. It was great to be back in the outdoor school again, soaking up the sun. He'd even managed to ditch his jacket, leaving it hung up in the office rather than carting it down to the arena.
He had a busier week this week, people were getting their last practices' in for the upcoming show season, fine tuning their performances and making sure they felt confident. He'd been doing the same with his own troop, and he felt ready to tackle the first few shows of the season. He had Rory today, who he knew well enough of but hadn't taught before, so he was interested to see how things went.

Odd number - lesson goes poorly Even number - lesson goes well
Rory knew her horses were getting antsy with the wet weather. The two bays hated being ridden inside after a long winter, but it seemed to be dry enough outside to have their dressage lesson.
Merlin, who was decked out in his dark green set, was pawing at the concrete in impatience. Rory scolded the stallion, who quickly decided to stop. The dark blonde shook her head before bridling the dark bay, doing up the various straps on the bridle before leading him towards the outdoor arena.
Dressage wasn't the stallion's strong suit, but Rory wanted to keep trying - as the horse excelled in the other two Eventing disciplines. Rory smiled and waved at Leo as the pair entered the arena. "Morning! I can't believe it's dry enough to ride outside. Merlin will be happy about that." She patted the stallion on the shoulder before checking the girth and getting on, using the mounting block that was nearby.
