Four teens from very different backgrounds are taking riding lessons at a very unusual riding stable where the animals all speak to each other. The teens deal with accepting responsibility, developing self-confidence, self-esteem and caring for their mounts. They also are confronted with problems that test their honesty, integrity and sometimes even their friendship. As they work to find solutions, the animals make comments on what the teens should or should not do or how they are handling the particular situation, giving the viewer a new insight to dealing with the issue. Through the four characters and the dialogue of the animals the viewers are shown clear prosocial educational messages. (This program will air on the main digital and analog channel).

Because Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and their classmates are engaging characters with whom young viewers easily identify , they serve as excellent role models. As they deal with pro-social issues such as honesty, perseverance , dependability, diversity, self-reliance, and self-respect, their struggles teach young viewers certain "life lessons" that both parents and teachers value.
