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!.
It's Mid May and summer is on it's way, so time to have our Spring show and get those points up! The first classes will be posted from 21st May which gives you all a week to sign up. Please use the forms provided to sign up below.
Just a few rules first;
Make sure you read the rules! This showing malarkey is set up differently than the usual to ensure it is fair. if you don't know the rules, please read them here. No, showing on here is not entirely the same as the real world so best check these rules out first.
001. Your horse must have been signed up here in order to compete, if they're rped by someone else then that someone must sign up them!
002. Your character can only enter classes that coincide with their horses ability. They can hire a horse from the stables to compete on, but ensure the horse is not already taken. If your character owns a horse rped by another, then both of you must post (please make sure your posts are put one after the other to avoid confusion, it's up to you who posts first but I would suggest maybe the rider).
003. All tests and jumping courses will be posted in the separate show class threads which an admin will start after the closing date for all administration (which is the 21st May).
004 Please don't sign up your character for a show and never post. You will have a time limit to reply for whichever classes you're in, otherwise your character will be eliminated. You have three working days to make your post! The following rule is to make it as easy as possible to be involved without much effort needed!
005. Remember that posts do not have a word count : ) So don't worry about having to post a lot in the show... and make sure you take a look at the posting order, which will be posted once the entries have closed. Only one post is needed for your entry and it can literally be 20 words if you feel like it!
