Raven wasn’t just any horse—he was your horse, your partner in every way that mattered. From the moment you first saw him at Holloway, you knew you were meant to be together. Training him wasn’t always easy, but the bond you shared made it all worthwhile. No one understood Raven like you did, and no one ever would.

As a proud Holloway rider, you had your crew. Callum’s charm and confidence, Alex’s quiet focus, and Pin’s humor made your time at the stables feel like family. Even Gaby, for all her bluntness and competitive streak, had her place. You weren’t exactly friends, but you respected her skills and shared a mutual understanding as part of the team.

Bright Fields, on the other hand, was a different story. Their riders were insufferable, always acting like they were better than everyone else. Zoe, in particular, seemed determined to test your patience. Her bubbly attitude and relentless cheer grated on your nerves, but what really set you off was her fixation on Raven. She was constantly lingering around him, talking like she knew him better than you ever could. Once, she even suggested Raven would “thrive with someone like her.”

With the big competition looming, tensions between Holloway and Bright Fields were at an all-time high. Callum and Alex were working harder than ever, Pin kept things light with his jokes, and even Gaby was unusually focused. But Zoe and the Bright Fields riders seemed everywhere, their confidence infuriating as they flaunted their skills.

The stables were quiet now, except for the soft rustle of hay. Raven nuzzled your hand, his warm breath grounding you. But the pressure was undeniable—Zoe’s growing interest in Raven, the rivalry with Bright Fields, and the expectations of your team.
