Will and the gang have been training for weeks for the Dale Ridge derby weekend: a two day show with a hunter derby on the last day. The weekend was more of a week, and the derby more of a cutthroat competition than a fun participation event. Not to mention, the event was hosted at Dale Ridge--one of Horseland's biggest rivals.
When the Horseland riders arrive at the show, bad things slowly start to happen. A missing bit here, a lost spur there. It begins to snowball, tangling the teens in a web of sabotage and mystery.

The Ranch Hand (MATURE CONTENT)
Lillian Walker is 17, clueless about men, and only knows about life on the ranch. Jesse Colter, 26, is a rugged cowboy who's spent too many years on the road-alone, restless, and without a woman's warmth. Her father offers him a job for bed and food, bringing him under their roof-with strict rules and watchful eyes. What will happen as they work on the ranch, side by side? _ Lillian Walker has lived her whole life on the ranch-isolated, routine, untouched by the world beyond the fence line. Out here, there are no men her age, no grand love stories, no stolen glances across candlelit dinners. Just dust, sweat, and the weight of knowing this is all she'll ever have. Until Jesse Colter rides in. Rugged. Mysterious. Too damn handsome for his own good. A drifter with nowhere to go and secrets he won't share, looking for work in exchange for a bed and food. Her father agrees. Now, Jesse will be sleeping just down the hall. Working under the same scorching sun. Eating at the same table. And Lillian? She's never been more curious about a man in her life.Complete
Whisper
Seventeen-year-old Chloe Matthews is done with guys, done with her ex, and done with the cowboys of the Grand Teton Mountains. She refuses to get hurt again. All that matters now are the horses. Every horse Chloe helps is another piece of herself put back together.

Working so closely with the flirtatious cowboy challenges Chloe's 'no guys' rule, until she learns her ex is out of prison and hell-bent on picking up where they left off.Complete
Blue
Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.Complete

Yellowstone: Love and Cowboys
Some people are born to be on the back of a reining horse, Coralee Dutton for one. She's the youngest daughter of John Dutton's older brother Benjamin. John inherited the ranch because he was a rancher while his brother wasn't. There are no hard feelings, Benjamin is happy with his life and the brothers have a deep love for each other. Coralee has been showing horses since she was young and has gotten quite good. She started as a barrel racer and is now into reining horses. She is at the Yellowstone because John wants to buy her a top-quality horse to show, and he's asked Travis Wheatley to bring some to the ranch to show her. Beth Dutton has always hated Coralee. Coralee is younger and prettier and resembles the tragic Elsa Dutton. She hates Beth's drinking problem and tries to stay out of her way, drunk or sober. She believes Beth is unstable and that only makes it worse. Travis has had his eye on Coralee for a long time. He wants to go out with her, hell, he wants to sleep with her but she means more to him. He's a playboy and a rogue and he knows it, but maybe he could change his ways if she just gave him a chance. He's older and feeling the need to settle down and Coralee could make him change his ways. So, you can call this story "based on" Yellowstone if you like. Travis is a character in the story and since Rip and Kayce are basically taken, I used him. Also, there are a lot of Rip or Kayce stories here, I wanted to write something else. Readers: I know ranching, I know horses, I studied equine science. Our instructor used to hire us out to his friends to drive their cattle for them. I participated in a cattle drive celebrating the San Antonio trail. This made this story more fun to writeComplete
