We Ride Together is a social realist drama scenario about grooming and sexual abuse in Danish equestrian sport in the 1990s. The characters are four young horse-interested women who spend their time at the Rosenvang Equestrian Centre, which is run by a male riding instructor who sexually assaults them. All the characters must choose whether they want to support reporting the riding instructor to the police, with the social and personal consequences this entails. The abuse is not described in explicit details in the scenario.

The focus of the scenario is to empathize with the womens’ situation. The riding instructor in the scenario will remain unnamed and will only be referred to as “he”. It’s not his story. It’s the young womens’.

All scenes are played as an interview with the gamemaster, who asks questions to the characters.
