Everything Means Nothing by LLHaskins

A short story. Jay Harlow and Alison Belle have been best friends since birth, but when Jay gets accepted into a university he'd been secretly dreaming about, Ally practically forces him to go. Jay doesn't want to leave his best friend, and Ally isn't thrilled about it either, but they push through their fears and decide IT'S ONLY COLLEGE! Six years have passed and not a single word has been breathed between the two. No texts. No calls. Hell, not even an email. Now, Jay's coming back home and he's terrified to see his best friend. Ally's been waiting to see Jay for six years, although she's petrified at the idea of locking eyes with him again. Now, they want each other in a different way. Now, everything -- means nothing -- if they can't have each other like they really want each other.

Ally by Devilish_Equestrian

Ally Johnsen was an ordinary horse loving 14 year old girl until the day came that would change her life, forever. After a big fall during a competition, Ally is blinded. She moves away to start a new life away from New York and big cities, in a new neighborhood in California. Ally is taken away from her best friends, her horse, and her old life. Moving isn't easy in the first place, meeting new people, going to a new school, and having a new house, but when your blind? It seems like the hardest thing ever, especially when you are only 14. Cole Weston is mad at the world. His father for leaving him and his mother when he only was six, his former friends for betraying him, and his step-dad and mother for dying in a car crash. But, when Cole meets Ally, he sees that everyone might not be bad and hope for her as well. Ace is an abused 4 year old horse, he has been through hell and back, until he finds himself free from his old life and in a new place. One day he sees Ally and, just like Cole, realizes that she is different. Will two "broken" souls be able to mend each other with the help of horses? or will it all come crumbling down?

It's Complicated by messandahalf

Riding is not just about winning, and that's something that Abigail Forestor has always prided herself in believing. Sure, winning is great, and why else spend ridiculous amounts of money on horse shows if not to win? However, it isn't until a new girl shows up on the circuit, a girl who starts effortlessly winning everything, that Abigail starts rethinking her previous beliefs. What she doesn't see, though, is that there's a fine line between love and hate, and that the path she's heading down will lead to some interesting discoveries about not only herself, but everyone around her.

Hunters Grove Riding Academy: the four words that every equestrian in the United States dream of going to. You have a chance to become one of the top riders in the world. When quirky 15-year old Roxanne Matthews rides into the academy, she hopes it was because of her riding, not her daddy's money. Whilst there for only a few hours, she becomes friendly with a new enemy: Scarlett White, and maybe a little too friendly with lovestruck Sebastian Anderson. When she and Scarlett find out about a secret that was sworn to never be told, they have to team up to destroy whatever created it. Through competitions, teamwork, tears, blood, and determination (mostly teamwork and determination, though), Roxanne has to make it through the first year at Hunters Grove, and prove she's worth it all while forgetting about her past and thinking what the future holds for her. *all ideas are mine. if you see anything that sounds somewhat familiar to anyone else's story, please let me know :) enjoy my story! read, follow, vote, comment, and share!*

The Eventers Club by Dressage_Queen

Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend. ...Then she meets Ashleigh Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend. ...Then she get's a job at Eves stable. Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot. Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...
