Alhaitham has stabled Caelus at Hartwood Equine for quite a while now; the yard is close to his house and consistently run to a very high quality. Whilst some of the other equestrians there often caused drama amongst themselves, it was a nice place to be.

One evening, whilst he was grooming Caelus, he noticed an unfamiliar horsebox enter the large gate to Hartwood. Someone that he didn't recognise led a horse out of the vehicle, and he ran an analytical gaze over the new arrivals.
