~Book One of the Silverstone Series~
Silverstone Horse Riding Academy. It's the dream of every young rider. Over three quarters of the students who attend will go on to become professionals. Olympic show jumpers. International dressage riders. Three day eventers.
Every year, one student is picked to receive the school's scholarship. They will receive the entire school time at the prestigious academy for free. A horse will be picked for them, and they will be equal to all those paying for the experience.
But winning the scholarship isn't easy. The competition is intense- young riders from all over Great Britain who don't have the money to pay for the school. There's a lot of them. And most will do anything to ensure they win.
Even when the winning rider gets through, the school year will be anything but easy. Normal classes, aside from the horse lessons, are the toughest possible. And on top of everything, being the scholarship person isn't great.
So when Jessica Brooke is the year's winner of the Silverstone Horse Riding Academy Scholarship, will she cope? Or will she crack under the pressure?

Distance || A Free Rein FF || +*[REWORKED/REVAMPED VERSION}*+
*Currently PAUSED for the time being* +*{REWORKED/REVAMPED VERSION}*+ Amber Mintz was born and raised in Houston Texas, USA. Not coming from a horsey family was hard for her growing up in the equestrian community. She developed a love for horses at the age of five, and that's when she met her: Dandelion. A stunning palomino-pinto Anglo Arabian. Amber had a talent for horses. She excelled at whatever she did and soon became a well-known rider in the community. At age 9, they bought Dandelion. She continued to blow everyone out of the water with her skill, riding especially well in eventing competitions. By age 14, she was competing nationally and was selected to partake in the Olympics when she turned 16. Overjoyed, she and her family pack for the memorable moment. Dandelion was also pumped, and they set out for their destination. Back at home after the Olympics, Newspeople crowd around her small quiet lesson stable. What used to be a peaceful place to ride has now become a picture-perfect danger to horse and rider. A horrible accident sends Amber's reputation as a rider and her social life plummeting. Stress and pressure claws at Amber, and she feels overwhelmed, like a spout with too much water. Then, an opportunity: A quiet island off the coast of England. They quickly find a place to stay and a stable to ride at, but is this island as peaceful as it seems? Will Amber's troubles follow her everywhere she goes? Will she ever have the confidence to compete again?
The Eventers Club
Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend. ...Then she meets Ashleigh Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend. ...Then she get's a job at Eves stable. Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot. Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...Complete![Hunters Grove Riding Academy: Riding From the Past [completed and in editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/25229727-256-k497539.jpg)
