Cailey Walker and Candice Hale have been roping together this they can remember. But this year it's different. This year, they both finally made it to the National High School Rodeo Association Finals. Candice Hale is your regular, stereo typical rodeo queen; but you will never find a nicer person than Candice. She is always helping others with their roping, or helping younger kids with their horses. Cailey Walker on the other hand, is short tempered, and has no patience whatsoever for the "wannabe rodeo queen 'Amanda' and her posse of barbies." Keep up with best friends, Candice and Cailey through their whole week of finals, snobby rodeo queens, and Chinese take out. (All of you riders out there who compete, you will understand me when I say, when you are on the road whether you are out west with rodeos, or just competing in small exhibitions, take out Chinese food tastes PRETTY DANG GOOD!)

Lacey Anne Ferry grew up on a cattle ranch in Montana where riding horses was an everyday part of her life. She loved the horses, cattle, and the hard work that came with living on a working ranch. In the little free time that she had, Lacey rodeoed. When she wasn't running barrels, she was roping; when she wasn't roping, she was pole bending; when she wasn't pole bending, she was cutting...the list went on. Lacey Ferry was the one cowgirl that everyone wanted to beat. She was phenomenal at every rodeo event that she competed in. Everything that was familiar to Lacey came crashing down around her when a freak barrel racing accident left her paralyzed from the waist down...and terrified of horses. Two things that she never thought she'd be. Instead of being outside almost 24/7 like she was before her accident, Lacey now refuses to leave the house. The doctors say that Lacey will never be able to walk, rodeo, or even ride a horse ever again. New ranch hand, Chet Slade Reid, "Slade," sets out to show Lacey that that stuff doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Despite his growing affection for her, Slade's dark past keeps him from telling Lacey his true feelings for her.
