A Royal Stables Christmas

Just before the holidays, Ella, who is descended from European nobility, arrives at Foxwood, a prestigious U.S. equestrian training center known for producing champion racers and jumpers. She's brought her beloved horse to recover and prepare for a high-stakes Christmas gala event that could define her future. At Foxwood, she meets Theo, a talented rider and farm hand whose dedication mirrors her own. Their bond deepens over long hours of training, shared passion for horses, and the quiet understanding of wanting to build a life on their own terms-separate from family expectations. Theo shares with Ella that he is expected to return to the "ranch" and take over the reins. He is uncertain that this is what he wants. Ella can understand and she lets him into her world of too much pomp and circumstance. But Theo carries a secret. He is actually Teddy, the cousin of Ella's university friend-and none other than an actual crown prince. To Ella's shock, she has crossed the world only to fall for real royalty. The only person aware of the truth is her aunt, the countess, who has quietly been nudging Ella toward finding a true love match. Across two films, Ella and Theo's journey explores identity, duty, love, and the courage to choose one's own path-set against the sweeping backdrop of royal pageantry and the rustic beauty of Foxwood's stables. Based on The Dude Ranch Duke, a book written by best-selling author, Caro Carson. Brain Power Studio previously adapted Carson's book The Maverick's Holiday Masquerade into the successful film Hometown Holiday.
