Oh, all my nights Taste like gold Yeah when I'm with you It's like everything glows [ZOE.]
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.
[BECKY.]
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.
[JADE.]
We'll see you back at Bright Fields.
[ZOE.]
We've got our whole future ahead of us.
Nothing can stand in our way.
[GABY.]
Zoe, look out! [HORSE NEIGHS.]
Howdy, cuz.
Aaron? [ZOE.]
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.
[LAUGHS.]
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! - [ZOE.]
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.
[JADE.]
Zoe! Zoe! [BECKY.]
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.
- [HORSE GRUNTS.]
Hey, Aaron, do you ride? - [AARON.]
Does the subway count? - [HORSE GRUNTS.]
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.
[RAVEN SNORTS GENTLY.]
[KNOCKING.]
[ZOE.]
Are you planning a robbery? [TED.]
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.
[BECKY.]
Zoe! You need to see this! Come, your royal dukiness.
Told you not to call me that.
[LAUGHS.]
- Who's that? - That's the new mayor of the island.
[MAYOR.]
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.
[LAUGHS.]
[HORSES NEIGHING.]
[GABY.]
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.
[CRASH.]
Aaron? [NEIGHING.]
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.
- [HORSE SNORTS.]
- [HORSE GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHS.]
[ZOE.]
It looks like someone's saying hello.
Come on, we've got a mayor to find.
Wait, wait.
[MIA SIGHS.]
We need to go the long way around.
Pin says the herd's sensitive, and we don't want to spook them.
Yeah, fine.
[MIA CLICKS TONGUE.]
[HORSE SNORTS GENTLY.]
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.
- [ZOE.]
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.
[LAUGHS.]
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.
[ZOE.]
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 have a title - doesn't mean you have to change.
- [LAUGHS.]
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.
- [GIRLS.]
Thank you! Pin! Please.
Fine.
I'll do it.
For the yard.
Oh, yeah! Bronco is a go! Come back! I need to tell you all about Bob and Becky's amazing Breakfast Club! Has anyone signed up yet? Loads.
Minnie, Ginnie, Linnie Winnie, are these all you? [WINNIE.]
No course they aren't.
Okay, maybe they are.
Maybe we should show people what Breakfast Club is about, instead of telling them? If this doesn't make people sign up, nothing will.
What's cool, it's you What's cool You're in a groove That's my girlfriend! It's you You're the vibe, the vibe - So turn it on - It's you - You feel in love - It's you - Now turn it up - It's you - You feel in love - It's you [CHEERING.]
- You feel the fire - It's you [LAUGHTER.]
Yee-haw! Hey, 36 seconds.
Beat that, Marcus! Pleasure, Callum.
Go, Marcus.
And Callum.
Man, it's hard being friends with two stables.
[MIA.]
Looking good, Marcus! Aw! - Very cool.
- Better luck next time, Bright Fields.
You were actually doing really well until Mia looked at you.
[SIGHS.]
She didn't notice, did she? [ALEX.]
This has gone on too long.
Why don't you tell her how you feel? It's hard, you know? We're mates.
There's a lot of history.
You're never gonna pass your training exams if you're this easily distracted.
[ALEX.]
Just talk to her.
- [GABY.]
Aaron! - Catch me if you can! Aaron! Babysitting? I'm not babysitting.
That's what it looks like.
Okay, well, why are you even here? I'm thinking of leaving Holloway, and starting at Bright Fields.
I thought it'd be fun to surround myself with total losers.
As if Bright Fields would make the mayor's list! [LAUGHS.]
We are not the losers.
Well prove it.
Hm.
[GABY.]
With pleasure.
I'm free! Finally free! Okay.
- Happy? - Oh, yeah.
Everything is going great.
Yeah.
[HEATHER CLEARS THROAT.]
I need to get past.
Sure thing.
You got a few options, - under, over - Just get off the gate.
What's your name? Heather.
- If you must know.
- Cool surname.
I'm Aaron Phillips.
Two first names for the price of one.
Excuse me.
See you round, Miss If-you-must-know.
[THUD.]
[CALLUM.]
Woo! Nice one, Gaby! Well, beat that! - One winner's ice cream.
- You better believe it.
It's no surprise, really.
You're the better rider.
You don't mean that.
You don't think anyone's better than you.
I'm just glad you're not doing tryouts.
Gives the rest of us a chance to get that place.
- Hey, Gaby, do you know where Aaron is? - Uh, no idea.
The mayor's on her way.
Please help me find him before she gets here.
- Yeah, of course.
- Thank you.
Mia, have you got a minute? Uh yeah, I suppose so.
What's up? This is probably really stupid, but but I was wondering if you wanted to, uh - No! - Right.
Marcus, look! What is that in the field? - Uh-oh.
- Wild horses! [BECKY.]
Zoe! Aaron's left the gate open! Oh, no.
[SCREAMS.]
[NEIGHING.]
Zoe! [NEIGHING.]
[NEIGHING.]
[SCREAMS.]
Easy, boy, easy! Marcus! - Oh! - [NEIGHING.]
Are you okay? Why would the wild horses come here? I don't know, but we have to get them out before the mayor gets here.
- [NEIGHING.]
- [SCREAMS.]
Zoe! Come on.
[PIN.]
We'll round them up.
[NEIGHING.]
[GABY.]
Look, it's working.
That's it, that's it.
- Keep them moving towards the back field.
- [HORSE NEIGHS.]
[PIN.]
Slow and steady, keep them together.
[NEIGHING.]
[NEIGHING.]
[GATE CLICKS.]
We did it! And literally with seconds to spare.
[LAUGHS.]
You guys, the mayor's here.
Come on, Susie.
Zoe Slight problemo.
[HORSE NEIGHS.]
Why doesn't she want to be with her friends? [CLOPPING, NEIGHING.]
That is one fierce horse.
[HORSE NEIGHS.]
Pin! The mayor.
[NEIGHS.]
Go do your duke thing.
I'll take care of this.
Keep in her eye-line.
No sudden movements.
[NEIGHS.]
[NEIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
This is where we keep the cars.
[LAUGHS.]
[WILD HORSE NEIGHING.]
Mayor Wright, welcome to Bright Fields.
You've picked a perfect day for it.
- Shall we go through? - Absolutely, but first I'd like to introduce you to the duke.
Great, where is he? No, he's here.
You're the duke? Yes, and I heard you wanted to take some photos.
Why don't we do that out here, by the sign? - Come on, girl, let's go with your - [NEIGHS.]
[HORSE NEIGHS.]
It's okay.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
You don't have to be scared.
[HORSE GRUNTS.]
She's not scared.
Look at her.
Look at the way she holds your eye.
[HORSE BREATHES HEAVILY.]
I don't think she's ever been scared in her life.
[HORSE GRUNTS.]
Well, why does she want to stay here? Guess she has her reasons.
[HORSE GRUNTS.]
But the only way that horse is leaving this yard is on a lead rope.
Trust me.
[HEATHER.]
They're useless.
If it was me, I'd have that horse under control and jumping fences in the arena by now.
Hm.
Prove it.
Excuse me.
Great, and one this way for the light.
Um, I am on a very tight schedule Say cheese, Pin.
I think we're done here.
Now, Your Grace, why don't you show me around this stable of yours? [HORSE NEIGHS.]
[ZOE.]
She's a wild horse, she's never seen a lead rope in her life.
Zoe, I know we can't all be mystical horse whisperers like you, but can I can I at least try this? [HORSE GRUNTS.]
Sure.
[NEIGHING.]
[HEATHER SCREAMS.]
- [HORSE NEIGHS.]
- [GABY.]
Zoe, watch out! [HEATHER SCREAMS.]
[MAYOR.]
Heather? [HORSE SNORTS.]
- [HORSE NEIGHS.]
- What on earth is going on? [PIN.]
Everybody, out the way! [GABY.]
Get back! Mum! Help! Mom? [LAUGHING.]
Oh, dear! Darling, what happened? - A horse attacked me.
- What? It did, I saw the whole thing! Okay, everybody needs to calm down.
She's not used to being around people.
She was defending herself.
Defending herself? From my little girl? I was just standing there and it went for me.
This yard is totally out of control.
The funny thing is, horses tend to react off of the person that's in front of them.
Calm person, calm horse.
You can't be all pushy and up in their face.
Your daughter tried to mount a wild horse, which clearly shows she doesn't know what she's doing.
Who's running this place? Where are the grown-ups? - Uh, what's all this? - It's all right, Dad.
This is my yard.
And if you don't like how we do things round here, then I think you should leave.
We're already leaving.
See, I need to get my daughter to a hospital.
Come on, darling.
Oh, for the record I won't be putting Bright Fields on my list.
Places like this give my island a bad name.
Come on, darling.
Mia! [CLEARS THROAT.]
Uh, Mia There's something I wanted to talk I know, today was a complete disaster and it's up to us to clear up the mess, as usual.
It's not that, it's, um But luckily we have each other.
Right.
- The thing is - Here's the plan.
You're gonna train me and Firefly for the under-18 tryouts and I am gonna help you ace your instructor's exam.
Oh.
Oh, right.
Well, if Pin can go from zero to hero, so can we.
No distractions.
Getting back on top is all that matters.
Okay.
Ready, darling? Coming.
I just Oh, what was it that you wanted to say? Nothing, don't worry about it.
[SIGHS.]
This is from the mayor's chain.
Well, I pass the council office on the way home, I can drop it off.
- Thank you.
- It might make her hate us less.
[SIGHS.]
I can't believe the wild horses came into the yard.
They've never done that before.
I know.
I was pretty scared.
Well, something must have spooked them.
I just wish I knew what.
Well, if anyone can figure it out, it's you.
Hey, that's it! Jade, you should do your project on the wild horses! Becky, that's genius! The herd's really ancient, you know.
They've been on the island forever They say if the wild horses leave the island, the kingdom will fall.
Right.
Um, this is a science project, so [JADE LAUGHS.]
Thank Bob I found you! Somebody signed up for the Breakfast Club! You've got to be kidding me.
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
This is from Grandpa.
Here, let's get you unpacked.
What's the point? I messed up.
I left the gate open.
I let a bunch of crazy horses invade your yard.
Just call my mom and tell her to come and get me.
I've got a better idea.
Here.
- I signed you up.
- Breakfast Club? You start first thing tomorrow morning.
You want me back at the stables? Horses solve everything, Aaron.
You'll see.
You're doing well with him.
Oh? It's a start.
I should've tried harder to get Rosie into riding.
Well, your mother didn't exactly help with that.
[CHUCKLES.]
You're missing them, aren't you? Yeah.
I really am.
But it It's making me want to prove I was right to stay here, you know? I feel like I need to show them I can do this.
So - can you sign this? - Mm.
Under-18s tryouts.
Is this for the UK squad? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's at the end of the summer, and if me and Raven make the team then it'll all be worth it.
Can you sign mine too, please, Frank? Oh, I thought you said you weren't entering.
I changed my mind.
I know there's only one spot for the island, but [CHUCKLES.]
It's worth a shot, right? Yeah.
[MAYOR.]
Mm-hmm, yeah.
A wild pony attacked my daughter! Because it's a risk to every tourist on my island.
I want you to hunt it down and destroy it.
[WHISPERS.]
Oh, no.
[MAJOR.]
That horse must go.
