When American teen Kit Bridges moves to England to attend an elite equestrian boarding school, neither she nor her new home will ever be quite the same.

Trying to move on from her mother’s death and afraid of riding after a bad fall, plucky fourteen-year-old Kit Bridges doesn’t quite know what to expect when her father takes a position at The Covington Academy. a prestigious boarding school in England. Things are looking up when Kit meets her cool, possibly secretly royal new roommate, Anya, and the boys of Covington, like Will, with their charming accents. But she hadn’t anticipated such a strict headmistress as Lady Covington.

Or the expectation that every student be a rider. Or the wild horse that she seems to have a strange and special bond with. While navigating new friendships, romances, and an alarmingly austere new environment, Kit needs to figure out whether she’s ready to get back in the saddle. And at the end of the day, it’s hard to tell who will be more changed by her arrival — The Covington Academy or Kit herself.

Launching in 2016, this 20-episode TV series coming to Nickelodeon follows an American teenager and her cowboy father as they move across the pond to attend (and work at) an exclusive British equestrian academy.
Perfect for horse-lovers and fans of boarding school stories alike, this series features an exciting and diverse cast of characters.
Candlewick Entertainment’s first foray into the YA tie-in landscape. The comp titles (and their many titles in each series) suggest a wide and deep interest in this subject matter.
