Ride (20 x 30') follows the adventures of Katherine "Kit" Bridges when she and her Dad, Rudy, move to England for his new job at Covington Academy, an elite equestrian boarding school. Life at a new school is never easy - particularly when you are afraid to ride - but Kit will be able to handle any challenge she faces thanks to her new friend, TK....who just so happens to be the most stubborn and difficult horse at the Academy!
In the Ride episode "Hippophobia & Ophidiophobia", above, after Lady Covington doubles down on her threat to send TK away, Kit realizes she is running out of time to conquer her fear of riding. Meanwhile, Anya tries to become more independent while Will and Nav engage in a series of friendly competitions. The episode is also available to watch on YTVGo, YTV.com and Facebook.
