Hooves on the Heart: Book 1 Start of Steele by kbfoster01

The Fagan family has always loved horses, and now they're making their lifelong dream a reality-starting a horse farm in Tennessee, specializing in race-bred Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Fagan and their five children: fifteen-year-old Khloe, fourteen-year-old Noel, eight-year-old Nathan, and five-year-old twins Allie and Ariah. Khloe is heartbroken about leaving her home and friends in Kentucky, but the excitement of owning a horse farm-especially the chance to have a horse of her own-makes the move easier. She has dreamed of this moment for as long as she can remember. But there's one problem: her family's budget is tight, and they can only afford to buy mares for their breeding and training program. While accompanying her dad to a horse auction, Khloe stumbles upon a stunning dapple-gray Quarter Horse mare-her dream horse. But this mare isn't just wild-she's been abused, broken, and has lost all trust in humans. Now, Khloe faces two challenges: convincing her dad to buy the mare and, if she succeeds, proving to the frightened horse that they are meant to be. But with a horse this damaged, the journey won't be easy. Can Khloe earn the mare's trust, or will someone get hurt in the process?

She finds solitude at her family's quarter horse ranch, the place Robin calls home. She's happy the way things are there. They breed, show and train the horses, prepare some to sell. That's her life, and the way it always has been. But when money stops rolling in, her parents come up with the idea to open a riding school for western riders, looking to learn, gain skill and compete. Robin isn't too excited about this at first, but soon, she decides it may not be so bad. And when a girl Robin's age joins, they seem to instantly connect, and they become friends ...could this be Robin's chance to re-write her life?
