At one point in time, Hailey Love was both a competitor and a trainer in the equestrian world. She was a veteran in the all-around show circuit, which included both Western and English disciplines, but new to training and showing her own horses in those competitions.
After an unfortunate jumping accident at a high-level show jumping competition that resulted in the death of her beloved horse and partner and what could have been (and quite possibly escalate to be) a life-changing injury, she vowed to never show in that area of competition again. For a little more than seven months, Hailey completely disappeared from the eyes of the equestrian world, as both a trainer and a competitor.
Eventually, Hailey returned to her home town, and home barn, to try to start over and heal from what remains of the wounds she suffered, whether they be physical or not. But what will occur when someone shocking appears before her, asking for her to train him for the upcoming show season?
