Wednesday Night Lessons

Kit Blake works hard. She fought her way through lesson mill barns, bad working student positions, and green-as-green auction horses to be able to run her small, somewhat successful training facility.

As a general rule, Kit takes on pretty much whatever business floats her way. So when a group of friends-since-birth girls sign on for group lessons, she expects them to determined, ambitious people with a goal in mind.

But they're not. The girls; Bea, Jackie, Amy, and Quinn, ride because they love their horses and the sport. Ribbons, bragging rights, success, and showing doesn't matter to them, something of a totally foreign concept to Kit. She rode, loved it, and through herself mind, body, and soul into it.

And when a new, competitive rival appears on the show circuit with his impeccably turned out riders, Kit tries to get more of her students out into the show ring.

When Kit agreed to teach the Wednesday night lessons, she never imagined what those girls could have taught love, laughter, and learning to let it go.
