Background Information:
Heleighna has made the choice to become an exchange student to Canada for the sake of improving her future outlook over what it would be in France. She doesn't expect to go to the French part of Canada, but she ends up coming into the home of a decorated — although now retired — dressage rider, Patrice Amyotte, and his wife at their dressage school in St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Québec. One would think that the adjustment would be easy, but appearances are deceptive.
Étienne is a rising star in the world of Grand Prix Dressage, and has done quite well in this pre-Olympic season, having successfully qualified to ride as a member of Team Canada coming up at the Olympics next August. The future looks bright and exciting, or at least until he checks on his stallion Sauvage after he comes back from his latest competition trip.
