It was like a dream come true. Abby had always loved riding, and now a lanky brown horse named Sandy was giving her the chance she needed to break into the exciting world of show jumping. After she accidentally discovers his incredible jumping prowess, his owners ask Abby to show him in competitions. This fantastic owner makes it all seem easy, and they finish first in class after class, becoming overnight celebrities. But suddenly the horse becomes violent and Abby's dream is over.
Sandy got Abby in big time. Now the rest is up to her--if the wants it badly enough. Does she have enough skill and discipline to make it as a top-class rider without him? Abby doesn't know--until Sandy helps her find the answer.
Dark horse is and engrossing story set in the demanding world of the horse show competition by the well-known author of many popular novels for young readers.
I am almost done this book, it was a great story that I would recommend to any young reader interested in the world of horses.
ReplyDeleteI just finished this book a couple of days ago. Great finish. Even though it was a children's book it still ended with a great happy ending (wait don't all children's books end "happily ever after")
