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...

Natalie had just finished half of her muffin, with her final bite in her mouth when the vet came in. Shit, how embarrassing. She swigged the bite with a si of coffee and wiped her mouth when everything was swallowed. “Yes, that’s me. A pleasure to meet you.” Natalie didn’t know if she could call Dr. James by her first name quite yet, but she was given permission so maybe it wasn’t that bad.
“Ah, nice. Lead the way!” Nat wouldn’t admit that she would rather hold a snake in her hands right now. But unfortunately, not everyone loved the exotics like she did. It made her wonder if Hickstead had any kind of place for her,
“She likes the idea, but if I take too long – she’ll throw a fit. I guess I keep her too long from her hay, or that sweet, sweet dust pile.” Nat stopped the water and opened the canister to put some shampoo in. Pippi seemed to roll her eyes but managed to stay still as Nat began spraying her down.
“So, how long have you been riding at Blue Acres?” she asked. Might as well get to know this person a bit, if she was allowed to. Nat liked to converse but was okay if someone asked for silence. So far, Jessi was willing to humor her. Despite riding here, Nat still didn’t know enough people around here on a good friend basis. She was friendly, of course – but never did the bestie thing.
Around spring break, but I think there's another thing happening around it too. Something your boss is doing? IDK. There's so many rich people things..I think a suit will suffice.
Natalie couldn’t believe she was dragged into a formal gala. Not that she didn’t mind them, but it meant Charlie would most likely be there. She didn’t know why it bothered her so much that he would be. He was probably feeling the same way about it. Maybe if Mrs. Renée Hahn wasn’t hosting a fundraiser for animals – then the chance of Nat being there would be a big, fat negative one thousand. But since the rich and ass kissers would be attending, Natalie wasn’t able to avoid seeing Charles in a suit. It appeared that a lot of the law students would be at the event due to the connections and networking chances.
The young woman found herself sitting in a penthouse suit of the Silver Stag hotel. Harlow and Kennedy were running behind due to their separate riding lessons and needing a three-hour freshen-up session. It wasn’t the first time the three women would be experiencing a luxury event such as this. However, Nat couldn’t help but wonder if the other had caused any grey hairs for her Sister in Law.
While from a wealthy background, there were things that Harlow and Kennedy did that made zero sense to Nat. Maybe it was because Ama was her family, so she received benefits that the others didn’t. Mainly her formal wear came at a heavily discounted price. Or she had first dibs on Ama’s designs.
It didn’t take long for the ding of the elevator to be heard and the chattering of her friends to come barreling through. “Dang, at least making me sit here and almost eat all the chocolate was worth it. I see you both decided on a blowout before a dress fitting?” Nat teased, popping a white chocolate-covered pineapple piece in her mouth.
SIL is hosting a fancy shin dig. I'm sure Ky already told you. But I hear some networking people that would interest you, will be there. Wanna go? We can be miserable together.
Nat let out a yawn. Even though it was still early afternoon, she hadn’t slept too well due to Baby Cakes having a bit of a health scare. The tegu was getting up in age, and while Nat knew her time was near. She still wanted to deny that her scaly friend could pass soon. Baby Cakes was already pushing near ten, which was average.
Thankfully, Nat would have her mind changed and challenged a bit today with her clinical. The young woman would be helping Dr. James today with a few of the smaller critters. Her original day was supposed to help Gwyn and another vet with surgery, but schedules were shifted - so that bummed her out. Nat was hoping she would be in another surgery soon since it was quite fun. Stressful, but fun.
Since she was early, Nat took a seat in the break room – a large, iced coffee in hand. She was also given permission to eat some of the muffins, and no one needed to twist her arm. So, Nat took a pistachio muffin – taking a big bite as she waited for Dr. James to get her.
“Well, I think all equestrians could say that.” Natalie laughed. Pippi tended to show off if a camera was involved. Prancing, as Natalie was trying not to fall off right away. That was a hard lesson learned when Natalie asked someone to film her the first time riding Pippi.
“Ah, this is Pippi. She’s only behaved now. I can’t guarantee this good behavior will be leaving with her after her bath.” Once Natalie felt most of the chunks of mud were off, she placed her comb back and started the hose to wet Pippi down before going knuckle deep.
