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!

But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on.

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey.

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?Complete
