Lara was awaiting her summer with glee, excited to spend time with her friends without her teachers constantly telling them to be quiet. Her parents, however, had other ideas. Instead of allowing Lara to be with her friends, they sent her fifty miles away to a summer camp at Brook View Riding Academy. Lara wants nothing to do with the big horses, big egos, and big standards. Paired up with a horse she originally wanted nothing to do with, she forms and unbreakable bond to him. And when she discovers that after she leaves, he is to be ridden by the snobbiest girl at the barn, she doesn't want to leave. In the end, love wins over all. HELLO EVERYONE!
