The adventures of Katherine ' Kit' Bridges who relocates to England when her father joins the faculty at Covington Academy, an elite equestrian boarding school.

Yeah, that tells you all you need to know......No?..... Really what other information do you need?

Okay, I just noticed this show a few weeks ago.  Jonny Gray is Josh.

You remember Gray as Max from Max and Shred......no?  Well check that show out here on my blog and on my website at www.zanesmall.com/index.htm .   Okay so it may not be on Zanesmall.com yet but remind me to copy this to it.

Kendra Leigh Timmins is Katherine "Kit" Bridges.  Yes, she is the one who moves to England with her dad.  She was on Winging It.  Again if you say you don't know that show then look it up on this site and later or sooner on my site (zanesmall.com/index.htm) .

I don't know the other characters from anywhere else but I will watch the show and learn more.

Tell me what you think of the show.  You can see clips, and I believe episodes, on YTV Go.  Google it.  (Google is the best.  Google is the all powerful leader.......shaking head.  Well I don't have anything negative to say about Google.  I think Google will be the reason I can buy that Mercedes that I might enjoy driving sometime in the future.  I might eat better because of Google.).

Don't tell anyone but I kind of have a crush on Kendra.  I also had a crush on the red-haired girl from Winging It.  Okay, if that sounds creepy don't worry.  She's cute but I'm not planning on meeting her.  I'm fine just seeing her on tv every so often.  (Slap!!!....The wife just reminded me that she is the only beautiful woman on Earth.  ......  Hey wait.  I'm not married.  Who was that woman and where is my microwave oven?  She even stole my best Chinet plates and plastic cutlery.)

Okay check out the show on tv and YouTube and YTV Go.  First of all go read all my other posts.  There is a test that is worth 50% of your grade.  Oh and the meaning of life is somewhere on this blog.

Later....

The following information is from the following link.  I wanted to give you as much information as I can.  I hope jbelanger doesn't mind me requoting her article.  I will summarize it at a later date but I thought that you would get more from the original article.

Oh yeah, the link I mentioned is http://www.lfpress.com/2016/09/01/ride-london-actors-meet-up-on-irish-set-of-new-tv-series


It’s being promoted as Downton Abby for kids.
For London-area actors Kendra Leigh Timmins and Jonny Gray, it’s just been a great ‘ride’ that took them across the Atlantic to Northern Ireland for five weeks of filming for Nickelodeon and YTV’s newest series, Ride, premiering Monday at 7 p.m. with episodes every weekday for five weeks.
It’s a show about a girl, Katherine (Kit) Bridges — played by Timmins — who moves to England with her father, Rudy, for his new job at Covington Academy, an elite equestrian boarding school.
The show, a joint production of Canada’s Breakthrough Entertainment and UK-based Buccaneer Media, follows Kit as she develops relationships with her new friends, including the horse TK, the most stubborn in the stable.
Among the students she meets is Josh Luders — played by Gray — a Canadian teen with a knack for finding trouble as he tries to find his place in the world of competitive show jumping.
“I’d never met Jonny until we got on the set,” said Timmins, daughter of Randy, one of the founders of London’s The Marketing Department, and Debbie, a retired teacher.
“It was so funny because that’s when you realize how small the world is. But it’s been fantastic and his family was wonderful, inviting us out to their horse farm in Ilderton so we could get in a little riding. We got along great on and off the set.”
Other than two years in Beal secondary school’s musical theatre program, Timmins has had little formal training.
She started making commercials when she was eight and has since gone on to appear in several television shows (American Gothic, Saving Hope, Nikita, Cracked, Wingin’ It, The Firm, My Babysitter’s a Vampire and Degrassi: The Next Generation) and films (Port Hope, The Journey Home and Lost After Dark).
Timmins now lives in Toronto and was in London celebrating her father’s birthday.

“It’s a really unique show, very heartfelt, very real and genuine,” said Timmins of Ride.
“Kit is really quirky, very determined, very stubborn and not afraid to speak her mind or stand up for what she believes in. She’s one of those people who speaks before she thinks.
“She grew up on a ranch, so she’s very much a free spirit. She comes from a life where there were no rules into a world where there are rules, uniforms, proper behaviour and manners.”
The show’s 20 episodes were filmed over about two months last winter with outdoor scenes in Northern Ireland and indoor scenes in Toronto.
Also in the show is Gemini award winning actress Sarah Botsford, best known for the Canadian television show E.N.G., in the role of Lady Covington, and Mike Shara, a veteran of Stratford Festival and Shaw Festival playing Kit’s father, Rudy.
Ride was created by writers Jill Girling (Life with Derek, Satisfaction) and Lori Mather-Welch (Would be Kings, Queer As Folk).
Girling also wrote for YTV’s Max & Shred, a show Gray starred in as Max. Girling recommended Gray for the role of Josh.
“I find Josh to be a really rich character, a kid from Canada who’s there trying to figure out if he’s up to the standard to become a world-class show jumper,” said Gray, a Grade 12 student at Medway High School and an avid skateboarder when not playing hockey with the Ilderton Jets.
“He’s just a normal kid, intelligent and charming, but he often gets himself in trouble and has to use that charm to get out of it.”
Josh falls for one of the girls, who then calls him for a date. He later discovers she’s a princess.
Aside from Max & Shred, Gray has worked fairly steadily the last several years on television shows, including Private Eye starring Jason Priestly, Annedroids and is now in Hamilton filming another Bruno & Boots television movie, that follows Go Jump in the Pool.
“I’ve been working pretty much non-stop,” said Gray, who admits to dropping a couple of courses last year to ease his workload.
“It’s crazy. I can barely keep my schedule together, if not for my parents (Daryl Gray, a surgeon at Victoria Hospital, and Jacquelyn Doucette, a family doctor). My whole family has had my back since it all started.
“But I love this more than anything and wouldn’t change a thing.”
Filming Ride was “incredible,” said Gray.
“Just the environment in Ireland, the weather was so weird, but I loved it. You’d have rain one minute, then a beautiful sunny day. The food was good and the people are really one of a kind, so funny and nice and open.”
