How far are you willing to go to get back to the top?
Alison Tulio rocked the competition world while she was growing up. Placing top two in every event she competed in and owning more blue ribbons than there were stars in the sky; Allie was a fierce (and feared) competitor.
For years Allie led the way in Junior eventing. Until one day when it just... stopped. After winning the State Championship on her horse Nightmare's Grieve, Alison Tulio quit everything. Her pony club, her eventing memberships and all her placements with her coaches. She disappeared off the face of the Earth, leaving behind her name and reputation.
Fast forward two and a half years and the FEI has set up a new competition: FEI Eventing World Championship Series for Young Riders and Juniors
And Australia wants in-with Alison Tulio on the team.
Allie's fears of still being a household name are about to come true as an invitation to try out for the team comes right to her doorstep. Literally.
But other kids are willing to fight tooth and nail to compete for their country. So can Allie keep up with her old reputation or will she just go down in history as a talented rider who burnt out too young?
