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 Double! A number will be randomly generated, between 1 and 5, which will help determine a player's placement in the race. Since it is doubles there will be two separate rolls, and the numbers will be added together for the final time count. It will be run similarly to the horse shows and lessons, where staff will post a number. The participants 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).
Archie Wagner couldn't remember the last time he had been on a boat, let alone sail one. He had always preferred to be in the water verses on the water. Yet his sister convinced him that they could take on the Regatta Doubles together and win. The young man was nothing short of competitive, but perhaps seeing his sister talk to an attractive boy at the dock yard a few weeks back convinced him that he owed her one.
Still, he found himself hesitant being in charge of everything but steering once they were free from the anchors. He had a few crash courses in the weeks leading up to this at least. Green eyes looked to their competition for a split second, and then the starting gun went off. Archie sprang to work as he heard Leonie's voice bark orders. Archie ran about, loosing the sails and tying ropes, trying to gage everything about the wind along with his sister.
He def tripped up a few times as well, but hey, he didn't end up splashing in the water. Leonie, do her credit, was carrying them both along to the finish line. She looked like a pro. Then again, Leonie Wagner always looked best in the classiest of sports - dressage, now sailing. As the wind began to gentle, green eyes realized where they were, "Shit, Leonie! I think we crossed the finish line."

It had been a little while since she'd sailed... well, until she'd signed her and her brother up for the doubles race. Once she'd seen it, she'd felt the urge to set sail again, and had jumped back onto the family boat to practice. It came weirdly naturally to her, taking up the mantle on a boat - not as familiar and comfortable to her as riding, but still, it felt similar enough. She had allowed her hair to take the brunt of sea air for the sake of getting things right and taking home the win. She wasn't competitive until suddenly she was, she was a bit of an enigma - but she was absolutely ambitious, and if anything was going to make the parents sit up and take notice of the middle child, it was going to be winning something fancy on the water.
She took the role of Captain without a fight from Archie, and the poor lad didn't have a choice regardless. She yelled out commands above the roar of wind and water, battling the waves as they flew across the top of the ocean. Everything went into hyper focus for her, zeroing in on what she needed and wanted to do, knowing when to tug the ropes, when to let them out, when to duck for the sail as the wind changed position. She wondered if she might owe poor Arch a drink after all this, or some food, or a chance to yell at her in return the way she was hurling instructions at him like a battle axe on a mission. She ran about like the mad woman she felt with him, not one to shout orders and stand there and watch - she was dripping with both sweat and sea water, her hair saturated and blown to bits, even tied back into the topknot she'd done.
Leonie was at the helm as they crossed the line, fully aware of where she was at all times so she could take the most direct path to the end, cutting off as many seconds as she could. "Shit, Leonie! I think we crossed the finish line." Leonie grinned and turned to look at her brother, who's incredulous expression made her give an exhilarated laugh. Okay, so part of the bug she'd got for the sea was from chatting to a handsome guy recently, but there was something to be said for flying across the sea in a boat you were sailing. "Well done, Arch - we did it! Now let's see where we placed."
