Riding High - First Episode

This horse-heavy drama follows 15-year-old Wendy (Marama Jackson), who lives at Lindentree riding school and horse stud with her parents. In this first episode, Wendy can't wait to see the birth of a new foal, and a group of teenagers from the local high school bring vital business — and added drama — to cash-strapped Lindentree. A love triangle develops between a stablehand (Chris Widdup, from Go Girls), a rebellious student (Nothing Trivial's Debbie Newby-Ward) and an ambivalent riding instructor (Joe Conway). This episode was written by actor/writer Liddy Holloway (Shortland Street).

It's going to take more than a new foal to keep this place on its feet.

– Helen ( Jean Hyland) brings her husband Charles ( Paul Gittins) back to earth
