The day my parents bought me a horse could have been the greatest day of my life.
Too bad it was a dream.
Living on the eleventh floor in the middle of the city with the nearest stable being 2 hours away is hard when it comes to owning a horse.
But the moment I saw the soft flutter of paper, pined to the notice board in my apartment building lobby, I knew I could already smell the hay. It was 2 months ago I ripped that flyer for a summer horse riding camp and pleaded with my parents to let me go.
****
For 9 years, Kiera Hugo has been obsessed with horses, but never gotten the proper chance to ride them, until today.
Silverstud Equestrian Camp is a summer camp for all levels of riding abilities. But although this is a dream come true, nothing can ever happen perfectly.

So this isn't a very good description, this is because I am writing this for a writing challenge run by NovemberRider, check it out! But I get a few writing challenges for the next 10 weeks, and I have no idea where this book is going!

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...Complete

So Nor found herself boarding a bus at the beginning of August to live on a stud for the last six weeks of her summer holidays with lots of other girls.

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?Complete
