Welcome to the town of Hickstead, England...home of Seven Oak stables; a growing professional riding establishment. It was resurrected from ruins by Liliana White, with help from her two brothers Leo and Logan. Since then more and more people across the county and even some from other countries have flooded in to board their horses or sign up for lessons. The family thought they had every set for the rest of their lives. Until last summer, when a second stable rose out of the ground from nothing. Blue Acre riding stables boasted expensive facilities, an impressive american barn and paddocks with white washed fence panels. Emerging from the luxury was a new rival - Naomi Clarke. Having come into money from her parents sudden passing, she purchased the land and struck competition against Seven Oaks for the business, alongside long time friend and somewhat on and off rich boyfriend Jacob Thorne.
At first, the stables went about their businesses separately. However it soon became clear that with both of them aiming for the same clients, competition became fierce. As businesses began to boom, Lily and Naomi met in person. Amicably, over lunch they decided that they would put the rivalry to good use and so put on a show where the two stables went head to head. It was a light-hearted event, but as the months went on and the stables competed more frequently against each other in a wider range of disciplines, tensions rose.
Over the years the rivalry has become fierce between the two yards, to the point of injury and sabotage. Being friends with someone from the other yard can be considered traitorous, and god forbid you try even a hint of romance with the enemy. Loyalty is valued, but if it came down to it, how far would you go for your stables?
