| The Dungeons
Like most old castles, the Academy has a deep, dark dungeon. Some say it spreads for miles underground. You can tell when you're under the lake from the water dripping from the ceiling. Be on the look-out for ghosts!

| The Stables |
| The Barn
All horses are stabled in the barn, unless they've been turned out in the paddocks. One thing's for sure, a number of happy, inquisitive heads will greet you over their stable doors when you arrive.

| The Paddocks
Many large fields are fenced off near the school as paddocks for the horses. Come here to see your faithful friend if they've been turned out and aren't in the barn. If a paddock is empty, you can even go for a ride.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Arena
Girth tightened? Stirrups the right length? Great. Let's go for a ride! The arena is great for practising dressage, equitation, or just going for a ride. It's even big enough to set up a jumping course in!

| The Showjumping Ring
The Showjumping Ring has ten jumps already set up, and a small metal shed just outside the fence holds loads more. Come here to practise your jumping.

| Competitions
One of the main perks of owning a horse is the ability to compete in fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping competitions! We have everything from showjumping to polocrosse. Warning: this board is for scheduled shows only. If you need practise, go to the arena.

| The Yard
Come here to cool your horse down and hose them off. Bathing your horse is also good, wet fun, especially if you use soap. Students in trouble could be given sweeping this ever-dusty yard as a punishment.

| Outside the School |
| The Courtyard
A lovely little courtyard sits just in front of the castle. It has flowerbeds, benches, picnic tables and even a tree swing.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Grounds
The large strip of flat grass not devoted to horses is called the grounds. It's a great place to run around on and play sport.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Forest
A large section of forest is just next to the grounds. The trees are thick and the undergrowth is dense, but it's still a great place to get away from it all.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Lake
Next to the forest is the lake. It's a great place to go swimming or just relax and watch the water. If you're feeling particularly brave, you can take your horse swimming with you!
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Beach
A few minute's walk past the forest will get you to the beach. The long strip of golden sand is a great place to play or ride on. A pier stretches out over the ocean. The rocks on either side of the beach are great for climbing on.
