"The reader will learn a lot about horses, good riding and horsemanship through these novels, but it's part of the story, not a 'lesson.' I enjoyed the first book so much that I went right on to the second, and now I'm hoping the author is working on the next one!" —Susan Harris author of Balance and Movement , Grooming to Win , and the U.S. Pony Club Manuals of Horsemanship "With the help of her trainer, Jack O'Brien, Sarah earns a coveted spot on the Brookmeade Farm team that will ride for the Wexford Hall Cup.
