Thirteen year old Allegra Mason is given the opportunity of a lifetime when she is handed the cheeky but extremely talented rising three year old colt Arrow to train and care for as part of the famous 'Colt Challenge' at Shadow Hill Stables. But Ally is younger and less experienced than most of the other participants, and battling with her crazy foal, school, friendship issues and her hated rival Cassidy French, it's hard to get anywhere. But with the help of new-found friend and incredible rider Lacey Johnson, she hasn't lost all hope. #Wattys2014

**THIS IS THE DRAFT VERSION AND MAY DIFFER DRAMATICALLY FROM THE FINAL COPY** NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! http://a.co/fyRYYEE ENROLLED IN KINDLE UNLIMITED https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C8DZ1H Like a fast Thoroughbred, she was born to run.... Alexandra Anderson is on the run from the law. When the thirteen-year-old orphan can run no further, she collapses at the gates of the prestigious racing and breeding farm, North Oak. Horse racing strikes a deep chord in her. She hears a higher calling in the jingle jangle of bit and stirrup and in the thunder of hooves on the turn for home. It tells her she has a place in the world. But when the racing headlines find her on the front of every sports page, she realizes North Oak is no longer a safe haven. Money can't buy love, but it just might secure Alex's future. Will everyone at North Oak still want to offer her a home when they learn of her unspeakable crime? On the heels of Joanna Campbell's beloved Thoroughbred Series, and Walter Farley's Black Stallion, comes a brand new young adult horse racing series that will sweep you away like a runaway Thoroughbred. EXCERPT: Joe brushed his hands off. "I get tired of watching other people's horses; tornadoes on toothpicks. No substance to em. Million dollar one hit wonders. Let me tell you the kind of horse I want to train. I want a horse with legs of steel that can run all day and blow by like a summer wind. Give me the colt that can outstay a mile and a quarter, or a filly with a heart bigger than any other colt on any given day, and I'll give you a champion. We're playing the same game here, you and I. It's called put the lightning in the bottle." IF YOU LOVE NORTH OAK, DON'T MISS NEWS ABOUT THE NEXT BOOK! http://eepurl.com/cva1T1
