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...

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!

[attr="class","character-bluedreams-text"]Nicola had agreed to help run the makeup tent, knowing she had her own equipment to help face paint or do temporary tattoos for the young kids. She couldn't believe how many people came together to help raise money for the new barn. Hope was sure that not everyone attending rode at Blue Acres, or rode at all, but it made her heart feel warm.
She herself wasn't competitive enough to care about the rivalry, and it was good publicity for her salon too. Hope began setting up her station, getting her brushes out as well as her pots of colour. "I'm ready, whenever you are."
Hope was sure people would bring their kids with them and those kids needed to be entertained somehow. The blonde tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and glanced at her station, seeing everything was out and ready for the first customer.
CASSIE & ADALIA friends? BA riders - Addy is lovely, fun loving, easy going, stubborn at times but I'm assuming they're probably similiar in age. Cassie could join in wine nights with Addy and Zoe (one of Pep's charries). Talk about boy problems and the like!
MONIQUE/AMBER/HANNAH & MADISON Enemies! If she doesn't like street kids haha, well Hannah isn't so much any longer and neither are the other 2 but they had run with gangs in the past and used and abused. If Madison perhaps made comments at the bar where Moni and Amber work, they could mess with her whenever she comes back in? Particularly if the comments were then directed at the girls once Madison knows where they're from?
JASON/ASH & KENDRA Both of them have been trouble - they're somewhat reformed but they do take the law into their own hands still so perhaps it's a dislike but one of those where they sort of respect each other? Like giving each other frowny looks across a table and Kendra asking if they're behaving themselves and they cross their hearts that they are even though it's a lie - and she'll know it's a lie.
LEO & STEPHANIE Friendly rivals? Leo loves his rivals and to take the piss and cause a bit of trouble - if she likes to party then maybe she'd have good enough humour not to be offended by him and play along with the rivalry?
SAMUEL & LANDON Friends? Sam is a sweetie, quiet, shy and just gaining confidence in himself. He comes from a bad history and even went to jail for a short time thanks to his father but he's not a bad guy. Could be interesting if they become friends after being paired together or even just sitting together at lunch and then after they become close, Landon could find out from his police work that Sam has a record? And could be pissed he never said anything?
DALLAS & AARON Friends! Dallas had his heart broken 'recently' and he's just on his way out the other side, so maybe he helps Aaron get through it - perhaps they're even in a help group together? Dallas has been a party boy and is on his way back to that so potential bad influences on each other and then trying to pull each other back off the edge?
NICOLA & HAZEL Hazel doesn't really have friends so would be great to have one! Hazel does burlesque once a night at the lounge with her confident side, perhaps Nicola helps with the show? Getting the girls all set to go out and look fantastic? Then they always have a drink after?
MONIQUE/AMBER & HAZEL Fellow workers! Friendly? Maybe he looks out for them a bit as both of them are magnets for trouble and have sharp tongues and big mouths! They're both fun loving, Moni is a bit rougher round the edges than Amber and would be quicker the throw a drink or a bottle, but both of them are quick witted and good fun to be around.
ELLE & TENAYA If she likes cars then Elle's a mechanic so they could tinker together? If she works at the garage then they'd be co-workers too or if not, maybe they just hang out together and share their passion?
ELI & JAMIE Single dads who both lost their wives? Bonding! Both in a help group perhaps or meet because of school and get chatting? Eli's son is a teenager but he has a grandson in primary school so depending on the age of Jamie's child they could meet easily enough and get talking!
Yes! all of these are great ideas. I have an open thread with Tenaya at the Lounge if you want to throw Elle at it.
Cassie & Adalia - Perfect. Cassie will take all the friends she can get! Wine night will probably be good for her. With Leon not being here she definitely needs some friends to keep her busy.
Moni/Hannah/Amber & Maddie - yep that sounds about right, thankfully Maddie would be able to take it haha.
Jason/Ash & Kendra - yep anyone who causes trouble is bad but being respectful would be nice for her too.
Leo & Steph - Steph does need a party partner or two - and I can already tell that Leo spends time at the bar already.
Sam & Landon - I have an open thread at the station if you want to throw Sam at it!
Aaron & Dallas - oof Aaron needs all the help he can get and someone to keep him accountable would be good for him.
Nicola & Hazel - I didn't think about that! She definitely would say yes to helping everyone get ready and have a drink after the show
Tristan & Monique/Amber - yep. I feel like Tristan would be kind of like their big brother and watch out for them at work etc.
Elle & Tenaya - She'd love to help out during her free time. I think as the farrier/horse excersizer she has enough jobs but it would be something she could do for fun! I have an open thread with her at the lounge if you'd like
Eli & Jamie - Rosa (his daughter) is only a few months old so she wouldn't quite be in school yet unfortunately. I'm sure they could meet through the help group though!
Let me know if you want me to start any of the threads!!
Due to her profession of being a hair dresser and makeup artist she loves talking to people so she won't shy away from saying hi. She considers her clients her friends but is open for more! She recently started riding at Seven Oaks as well.
enemies
No one really yet. She isn't competing with Pearl yet for there to be any enemies at Blue Acres. But this can change!
HEY THERE! my name is Gabi and i'm 22years old. i'm a wiminzand i've been roleplaying for many years. but enough about me, here's my character. =]
[/font]:[/b] Ocean Pearl
barn name: Pearl.
age: 12. (May 1st)
gender: mare.
colour: Bay.
markings: black mane and tail and black legs.
height: 15.1 hh.
breed: Morgan.
sire and dam: Ocean Tide X Royal Pearl.
siblings: twin brother named Tide's Pearl.
owned by: Nicola Hoffman.
brief history: Pearl was born and raised in Kentucky, the middle of horse country. She was bred to be a cutting horse and that is what she excelled at. Any cow or livestock that came her way, she would herd for her breeder, which was Nicola's aunt. Her training was perfect, even competing at the International level in Western events. Nicola's Aunt went through a dreadful divorce of her husband which caused them to move to England to start over. The two continued to compete until recently Nicola's Aunt died of a brain tumour. The mare was left in her Will to Nicola, who is slowly learning to ride. [/font][/ul]
[/font]:[/b] quiet barns, galloping across a wide open field and being spoiled.
dislikes: repetition (have to change up the routine with her in terms of riding) and liquorice.
strengths: Western riding, being calm and patient. (She also enjoys the small jumping classes!)
weaknesses: She is shy now that Nicola's Aunt is no longer with her. It takes her more time to build up a relationship with a new rider.
fears: being alone.
habits: flicking her ears if she hears someone talk to her.
overall personality: Pearl is a sweet mare who loves beginners. She does what she is told, but of course only if she is asked correctly. She loves running up and down the pasture to be silly but in the ring she is a hard worker. She loves being groomed and spoiled, but by no means shows any rotten behaviour. Even when the Vet and Farrier come out, she is a dream. [/ul]
