Free Rein

Hi, guys! So here we are,

same beach, same girl, same horse,

but everything has changed.

Gaby's my roommate,

Pin's my boyfriend,

and a duke,

and Raven is officially mine.

Faster, Bob!

Okay, maybe not everything has changed.

And now we've got our sights set on the UK under-18s team.

Tryouts are at the end of the summer. No biggie!

I still think you ought to apply for the under-18s.

You would totally make the squad.

No way.

Competitions bring out the worst in me.

Hey!

Be careful, you guys.

We'll see you back at Bright Fields.

We've got our whole future ahead of us.

Nothing can stand in our way.

Zoe, look out!

Howdy, cuz.

Aaron?

Little cousin Aaron.

I thought you weren't coming 'til next week.

I'm full of surprises.

He comes with a long list of instructions.

No TV after 6 p.m.

No candy.

No social media.

Mom loves rules.

I have one summer to show her I can be good, or...

she's sending me to boarding school.

And not the fun Harry Potter kind.

Well, it's super hard to get into trouble here.

Yeah, it's, uh... practically impossible.

Let's go get you unpacked.

Mm...

Unless you wanna come to the yard with us?

Are there cowboys?

- I love cowboys! - Hey. You'd be the first.

Oh, we have one rule.

Always shut the gate.

Got it!

Thanks, Zoe.

I know with your mum and Rosie gone you hoped for a summer of freedom,

but I need you to keep an eye on Aaron.

He might be a bit of a handful.

Oh, Grandpa, relax!

-I can handle a little kid. -Okay.

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe, come here! Group hug!

Guys, what's with the horse hugs?

-I just saw you five minutes ago. -We are just following orders.

-Did you know it was there the whole time? -Maybe.

This is my cousin Aaron. He's staying for the summer.

Welcome to Bright Fields!

What's Breakfast Club?

Oh, Pin's asked me to run an early-morning riding club for kids

in exchange for free stabling for Bob.

We've got ponies and everything.

Jade, what are you doing?

I said I'd help, but first I have to sort out my science project.

You do know it's the summer holidays, right?

Guys, this is serious.

I dropped a grade last term.

This project has to be perfect.

Okay.

Hey, Aaron, do you ride?

Does the subway count?

Um, Gaby, do you mind keeping an eye on Aaron so I can put Raven away?

Uh... that's kind of your job.

You know,

I still can't believe that you're mine.

I still feel like someone's gonna come and try and take you away.

Are you planning a robbery?

No.

Pin wants to turn the back of the stables into a horse hospital.

Oh, that's a great idea.

Thank you.

Can you please tell him that?

It's just...

I'm not qualified.

So?

You've done more for these horses than anyone else on the island.

You brought Bright Fields back to life, Pin.

Zoe! You need to see this!

Come, your royal dukiness.

Told you not to call me that.

-Who's that? -That's the new mayor of the island.

Our island has it all.

White sandy beaches...

She looks serious.

...a world-class golf course, and five-star hotel.

All that's missing is you.

Oh, that's Daddy's new hotel.

It looks amazing!

In just a few hours, I'll be posting my top ten island activities.

Check back here at 10 a.m. to see what's made the cut.

And remember,

if it's not on the mayor's list, it's not worth talking about.

Oh, my Bob.

Guys, Bright Fields could be on that list.

We could even be number one.

Mm, I doubt it. Mayor Wright's never been to Bright Fields.

No one has since Pin took over.

That's because I run this place for horses, not tourists.

Horses don't pay for lessons.

We'll never make that list, not after everything we've been through.

He's right. We had the fire, and evil James,

and a trainer that was basically a horse thief.

-No offense. -Some taken.

Guys, we need to be on that list.

Don't you see?

It's a way for us to start over and put a line under the past.

And show everybody how amazing Pin's stables are.

You brought Bright Fields back to life, Pin,

and I'm going to get us on that list.

This is your new office?

Grand, isn't it?

An office fit for a mayor.

Now it's time to get to work.

But, Mum... you said we could explore the island today.

-Your first video is live, ma'am. -Oh, excellent.

I'm going to make some very big changes around here.

Can't wait to get started.

Hey.

Hey.

Where you going?

Um, to invite the mayor to our open day.

-Cool. -She just checked into the pier online

-so if we hurry-- -We?

-D'you want me to come with you? -Oh... no, I meant...

She offered.

Daddy's building contract is with Mayor Wright.

I can't have you going all Zoe on her.

And one of us needs to stay here with Aaron.

Right, it's just he's...

he's your cousin.

Aaron?

Mia! Mia, stop.

What?

Here's the wild herd.

I know, I've just never seen them so close before.

They're so beautiful.

-They could do with a good grooming. -Tch!

There is something about them.

They're descended from an ancient breed... apparently.

It looks like someone's saying hello.

Come on, we've got a mayor to find.

Wait, wait.

We need to go the long way around.

Pin says the herd's sensitive, and we don't want to spook them.

Yeah, fine.

All there is left to say is, welcome to my island,

and have fun.

I want this pier deep cleaned before my next visit.

- Yes, ma'am. - Excuse me!

Mrs. Mayor, do you have a sec?

Hi, girls.

Intern applications should be sent directly to my office. Good luck.

Oh no, no, we're not here for that. Um...

I want to invite you to an open day at the greatest stables on the island.

Ah, yes, um... Holloway!

No, Bright Fields.

The other island stables.

I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.

But as we all know, if it's not on the list,

it's not worth talking about.

Okay, lady, there's a few things you should know--

What Zoe means to say is, um, we have something that the other stables don't.

Bright Fields has a duke.

Uh... right.

Yeah, he's...

at the stables right now,

dukeing about.

This is the perfect opportunity

for you to meet some actual real-life island royalty.

Come to our open day

and see for yourself why we should be on that list.

No way.

I'm not just a show pony that you can lead out.

It was the only way.

You just have to shake her hand, maybe do a photo.

Act like a duke.

-Yes! -No!

Just be you.

Wonderful, kind you. Like you said, just because you've a title

doesn't mean you have to change.

Look! Tourists!

The mayor posted about Bright Fields! Our plan's working!

Excuse me, sir, is there a duke around here?

- Yeah, he went that way. - Thank you!

Pin!

Please.

Fine. I'll do it.

For the yard.

Oh, yeah!

Bronco is a go!
