History WesternAnimation / Horseland

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Chilli and Pepper.

* InMediasRes[=/=]{{Flashback}}: Some of the episodes don't start at the beginning leading Shep to recount the episode as a flashback.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Sarah and Molly (nice), Zoey and Chloe (mean), and Alma and Bailey (in-Between). Also the animals, Tiny (nice), Angora (mean), and Shep (in-between). The horses can qualify too, Scarlet and Calipso (nice), Chilli and Pepper (mean) and Button and Aztec (in-between).

* [[NewNeighboursAsThePlotDemands New Kid as the Plot Demands]]: The general purpose of the various characters of the day. They're around to spice up the episode plots and better give the illusion that the LimitedSocialCircle of horseback riding isn't as limited as it is in-show. As per the name, most of these characters of the day never show up more than once, so Nani Cloud sticking around and [[SixthRanger joining the cast]] in season 3 becomes a notable exception.

* InvisibleParent: Despite being the owners of the titular Horseland ranch that the series takes place at and nigh revolves around, Bailey's parents/Will's aunt and uncle are ''never'' seen. Sometimes to an egregious extent when something serious is threatening Horseland. They are mentioned, but usually through their mouthpieces Will and Bailey.

** Of note, by nature of the show's premise, most of the human characters, major and one-shot, would more than likely have to come from some form of well-off background, to varying extents (Jesse being the son of another ranch-owning family[[labelnote:*]]which was primarily why he and Bailey got along so well[[/labelnote]], for example), yet despite this, no one else plays this Trope straight like Zoey and Chloe do. Special mention goes to Sarah, as implied wealthy as the Stilton twins, who was assumed to be just as stuck up as them by the other girls on her first day, thus setting up a "Don't judge a book by its cover." [[AnAesop Aesop]].

* RichBitch: Zoey and Chloe Stilton.

* ActorAllusion: Shep sounds ''a lot'' like SeanConnery.

* LimitedSocialCircle[=/=]MinimalistCast: Sarah, Molly, Alma, Bailey, Zoey, Chloe, Will, their horses, Shep, Angora, and Teeny are the only characters featured. Though, [[TwentyFourHourPartyPeople other kids]] make occasional appearances in most episodes.

* [[NewNeighboursAsThePlotDemands New Kid as the Plot Demands]]

** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They act like bitches to almost everyone.
* ShipTease: Sarah/Bailey and Sarah/Will.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The horses are have normal coat colours, but their manes and tails are veined with unnatural colours. The strangeness of this is never brought up in the show, and has become a sort of RunningGag among the fanbase.

* NonIdenticalTwins: Zoey and Chloe.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the episode ''Pepper's Pain,'' Pepper botches a jump and hurts her leg, much to Zoey's shock. The next day, Zoey comes in late, acting [[{{Jerkass}} just the same as usual]]...except that she completely ignores Pepper and acts as if she's dead.

* RichBitch: Zoey and Chloe Stilton.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They act like bitches to almost everyone, but as Sarah puts it, "".

* [[NewNeighboursAsThePlotDemands New Kid As The Plot Demands]]

-->'''Sarah:''' She might be mean to everyone else, but she loves Horseland, and she loves her horse.

* LIsForDyslexia: We learn that Sarah's cousin, Chase, has difficulty reading because of dyslexia. Sarah tries to show him that he needn't be embarrassed, because she has a good friend who is also dyslexic who still manages to get by quite well. [[spoiler: At the end of the episode, Will reveals that he is the friend she was speaking of.]]

** Mosey subverts the trope in a [[AnachronicEpisode later]] [[{{Flashback}} episode]]. Unfortunately, he's dead by the time the series begins.

* ParentalAbandonment: Will lives with his aunt and uncle, and cousin Bailey. It's never revealed what happened to his parents. May also cross over with ConvenientlyAnOrphan.
* RichBitch: Zoey and Chloe Stilton. Sometimes crosses over with JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but not often.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Sarah is accused of this.

* EmpathyPet: The horse's personalities tend to reflect their riders/owners to an extent.

* FeudEpisode: "The Competition"

* ParentalAbandonment: Will lives with his aunt and uncle, and cousin Bailey. It was never revealed what happened to his parents

* Tsundere: A non-romantic example: Pepper and Chilli are cold and arrogant to the other horses, but act as each other's [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friends]].

* BigDamnHeroes: The kids, Shep, and the horses show up to rescue Cubby from a mountain lion.

* DeadpanSnarker: Quite a few characters actually. Shep, Angora, Chili, Molly, Zoey and Chloe.

* ManlyTears: Shep sheds a few of these as he watches Mosey leave the barn.

* NeverMyFault: In "Win Some, Lose Some", Alma blames the course-changing rather than herself for not practicing because she thought she was too good.

* RichBitch: Zoey and Chloe Stilton.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At least when they learn their lesson.

** Nani (Native American) in Season 3

* BadassLonghair: Bailey has a sweet mullet.

* MrFanservice: Bailey and, to a lesser extent, Will.

* HoYay: Shep telling Mosey to "lean on him" could qualify.

It stars a bunch of teenage kids at a horse ranch called, you guessed it, Horseland. It features your typical teen problems and various situations involving horses. Basically, it's an animated version of ''TheSaddleClub''.

An animated series based on a virtual pet game by DiCEntertainment.

The series returned to Creator/{{CBS}} as part of CookieJarTV on February 5, 2011.

* DidNotDoTheResearch - Where to start!? The kids consistently fail to tie their horses with halters, walk directly behind them all the time, let them wander around with bridles on, and none of the riders appear to know the emergency dismount technique or one-rein stop. About the only thing the show gets right safety-wise is wearing a helmet and (occasionally) checking a girth before you mount. Basically, if you know anything at all about being around horses, you're going to be yelling at the screen at some point.
** "The Horse Whisperer" episode has Sarah doing just about any horse handling/training dead wrong. She looks a horse in the eye (a predatory stance) and pulls on the animal to get it to move (like anyone could outpull a 1,000 lb animal), and insists on being physically attached to an animal that wants to rear, bite, and kick. Accuracy wise, none of her techniques are those associated with so-called "horse whispering" techniques like join-up or round pen work. Of course, why a tween is being asked to train an unruly, intact stallion is anyone's guess.

* AnAesop: Every episode.

* BigDamnHeroes: The kids, Shep, and the horses show up to rescue Cubby from a mountain lion.

* BookEnds: Used with most episodes.

* ItsAllMyFault: Used in a few episodes. Will has this reaction when a forest fire breaks out during a camping trip. Sarah also does this when she realizes that Molly wasn't gossiping behind her back, and was talking about a different Sarah.
