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!.
Welcome to the Regatta singles! A number will be randomly generated, between 1 and 20, which will help determine a player's placement in the race. It will be run similarly to the horse shows and lessons, where staff will post a number. The participant will then post their experience on the water.
Whoever has the lowest number wins as higher numbers equate to a slower-paced run (i.e. get off course, hit an obstacle, lost wind).
Perry was nervous to sail on his own in a racing manner. He knew he would be fine, but it was the fact there were so many people watching. Plus, he was going against his boss and Christian! They were both very knowledgeable.
The start was rough, as his lines got caught – but Perry managed to catch up. He made sure he wasn’t crossing into anyone, but was laser focused on crossing the invisible line between the finishing buoys. Perry must’ve banked out his whole run until he heard the horn when he crossed. 12 minutes. He didn’t know how to feel, but he was smiling. He enjoyed himself.
Cal was happy that he managed to get his employees to sign up for the races. Maybe because it was a test to see if anything he taught, was picked up. He wasn’t worried about Christian, but he knew that Aria and Perry would be fun to watch and hear.
The horn to go was heard, and Cal’s expert hands guided his sails. Wind hit the sails and Cal tilted his body, shifting his weight. He noticed Perry struggling for a split second but Cal had a good feeling the young man would be fine.
He crossed the invisible line at 7 minutes, a personal record for singles for himself. So even if he didn’t win, he made a new PR which was great for him. Cal anchored out of the way to cheer on the rest of the racers.
Aria Beck Martin couldn't believe that she had let the men at her work place talk her into this. The crowd had a few friendly faces - namely Elodie Whitlock and Paige August. The sun beat down on her, the cool wind picking up on the sea air as waves gently rocked her boat. But as chocolate brown eyes stared off on the horizon and down towards the finish line in the distance, she oddly felt at peace. She walked along the boat again, readying herself by the ropes to undock as she closed her eyes, breathing in and out, listening. Then, the gun went off.
The young woman went to work, muscles rippling along her body as she set herself loose from the dock and freed the sails. Then, she hustled to the wheel. The white sails fluttered before catching the wind, the boat surged forward with sudden gusto, nearly causing Aria to pitch off the boat. No. No. She couldn't embarrass herself now - she had some old men to beat. Her boat shoes found their grip, and she found her sea legs as Aria made it to the steering wheel now and set sail.
She passed Perry Whitlock now, her coworker, and sailed on by. Unfortunately though, she could tell Cal was several knots away. There would be no beating him. A sigh escaped her, that competitive spirit a bit disappointed. But with the wind in her hair, and the sun kissing her face, Aria didn't entirely care as she crossed the finish line to cheers.
