Adela Blake has lost the most important part of her sport: her horse.
After Aristocrat and Adela suffer a rotational fall in the show ring, Risto is declared permanently lamed and sent to pasture for retirement or possible stud work.
Adela is devastated: it was supposed to her and Risto working their way up through the ranks, aiming for the World Equestrian Games. Now, she has to find another horse, and fast.
After trying as many horses as she can find, Adela is presented with a feisty dappled grey mare, Constellations, who is as likely to take her over a 1.50m oxer as buck her off.
With nothing else, Adela takes on the spitfire mare and prepares for the toughest show season she's ever faced.
Will Adela make it to the World Equestrian Games, or will Constellations end her career before it's even really begun?

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.
