21-year-old Katie Simpson was an exceptional and talented young woman who was thriving in the horse show-jumping community. She had a new relationship, a loving family and a job in a stables that she adored. So when her family were told that she had taken her own life, they couldn't believe it.

And their instincts were right and a very dark side of the horse riding community Katie was in, was soon exposed.

This is Real.
