Story[]
Barbie Roberts, Skipper Roberts, Stacie Roberts and Chelsea Roberts visit Alpine Academy for the summer. They are greeted by their aunt Marlene, their twin cousins Marie and Max, and the twins' dogs Popcorn and Sebastian. Barbie and her sisters are shown to their room and then Barbie, Stacie and Chelsea go to see the horses.
Stacie and Chelsea are beginners at horse-riding so they have to be chosen by horses. Stacie is chosen by Pepper and Chelsea is chosen by a pony named Dash. Chelsea wishes she could have a big horse instead. Barbie is experienced at horse-riding so she picks Finian, a horse from the Alpine stable. Barbie goes horse-riding and sees a horse with a pink streak in its mane. It looks like the horse in the Alpine logo. Barbie asks Alpine's riding master, Etienne, about the horse from the logo and he says the horse is from the legendary Majestique herd. The Majestique are fast and brave wild horses.
Stacie tries riding Pepper. They don't get along because Pepper dislikes Stacie's overconfidence, which she has due to always excelling at any sport she tries. Barbie befriends the Majestique horse she saw and names her Majesty. Chelsea finds Dash irritating but Marlene encourages Chelsea to give Dash another chance. Etienne's brother, Philippe Cheynet of the rival riding school Ecole Montagne, searches for the Majestique so he can profit from them. Marlene reveals to Skipper that she may have to sell Alpine due to low enrolment. Marlene received an offer from Philippe and Etienne's mother, Bridgette Cheynet. Marlene believes it was Philippe's idea and that he hasn't forgiven Etienne for coming to Alpine.
Alpine participates in the annual Inter-Academy Equestrian Tournament but they always lose, usually to Ecole Montagne. Skipper believes that she and her sisters can help Alpine to win so Marlene won't have to sell the school. Skipper wants Barbie to compete with Majesty, but Barbie worries that if Majesty is revealed, Philippe will hunt them down and break up their herd. Barbie wants Etienne to ride for Alpine, like he traditionally does. Meanwhile, Stacie doesn't want to take part in the tournament because she dislikes Pepper. Barbie encourages Stacie to befriend Pepper.
On the first day of the tournament, Chelsea and Skipper compete and win their events. Stacie comes 2nd place, so Alpine and Ecole Montagne are tied. That night, the inter-academy formal dance takes place at Alpine. Philippe unlocks a horse corral and Chelsea tries to ride one of the big horses. The horse panics and when Etienne comes outside to see what is happening, the horse kicks Etienne and breaks his arm. Several horses escape from the corral, so Barbie, Skipper and a boy named Jonas from Ecole Montagne track down the horses.
Philippe plans on winning the tournament so the Alpine land can belong to Ecole Montagne and he can freely search for the Majestique. Barbie finds out that Etienne can't compete in the tournament due to his broken arm, so she competes with Majesty. They race Philippe and his horse Hurricane during the tournament's concluding event, the steeplechase. Philippe sabotages his competitors, but Barbie and Majesty still win. Alpine Academy wins the overall Tournament Cup and Skipper posts a video of the final race online, so enrolment triples.
