More than a horse show

The Friesian horse does not speak, but it knows the truth.

The legend

Once, when the world was ravaged by war, storm and flood, a black Friesian horse led the people to safety. Where his hooves came to rest, a new kingdom arose: Harich. Ever since, his name has lived on as a legend. The Hynder fan Harich.

Queen Josephine Twin sister Mette

Harich celebrates life

Years later, Harich still celebrates life every single day. Queen Josephine reigns, with her charming husband Anton by her side. Her twin sister Mette waits her turn. A difference of just a few minutes at birth decided who would wear the crown and who would remain in the shadows.

Wjerlûd sees them all.

Even when they no longer see each other

Desires

Not every smile can be trusted

For while Harich celebrates life, desires are growing that no one speaks aloud. Not everyone is content with their place. Not every smile can be trusted.

Then fate strikes.

Fate

Then fate strikes. One catastrophic night puts everything at stake. Family ties break, certainties vanish and the kingdom seems to be falling apart. Who can you still believe? And who dare you trust?
