pbA girl who longs for her own horse is given the chance to care for a troubled, damaged horse, who needs her as much as she needs him.bppFourteen-year-old Jane Ryan has always dreamed of having a horse of her own―but so long as she gets to ride her favorite school horse, Beau, at Sunny Acres farm, she's content. And this is the summer she means to try out for the advanced riding class. ppBut just as camp begins, Jane receives heartbreaking news about Beau. She loses, not just her favorite horse, but also her chance to ride in the end-of-summer competition. When her trainer asks for her help with an out-of-control chestnut warmblood, Lancelot, a newcomer to the barn, she has no choice but to say yes.ppThere's another new addition to the farm: Ben Reyes, the grandson of the barn's manager. As Jane struggles to go on without Beau, and to make Lancelot the great horse she believes him to be, her feelings for Ben, her relationships with the privileged group of girls she rides with, and her painful, joyous road to self-discovery all lead to a heart-pounding conclusion that is truly a new beginning. Only Jane's faith in Lancelot, and her own rediscovered skill and strength, can see her through the hard journey toward a horse of her own.p

Product description

Review

"Sensitive, sophisticated and lyrically written, Wedekind's debut portrays the typical teen struggle for self-awareness in an anything-but-typical fashion. Possibly the most honest horse book since National Velvet, from an equestrian point-of-view, this offering's riding scenes combine accuracy with seat-of-the-pants excitement. A champion.” ―Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“There aren't a lot of books around for horse-mad girls these days . . . . Where oh where are the horsey novels? Thank goodness for Annie Wedekind. She has written an utterly charming novel that should be placed into the hands of horse-loving girls immediately upon publication.” ―Kidliterate.com

Terrible storyline. Awful unrealistic characters. Don't waste your money.

I love horses and I love to read horse stories. I wanted to like this, I really did.
However, it mostly just irritated and confused me. Right from the start there's a whole bunch of characters introduced and it was difficult to keep track of who was who, and who was friend or foe. Their riding instructor is incredibly unrealistic, walking around with a riding crop glued to her hand and regularly smacking it against her boot. (including in the presence of horses) They have an unpredictable horse, but decide to lay a saddle pad on the floor if his stable, for a cat to sleep on. I guess they don't care if it gets trampled. At one point a horse gets colic, and they put down a thick bed for him, then actually incourage him to lie down and roll. One of the characters remarks that rolling won't do him any harm! This part REALLY annoyed me and to be honest, I ended up in tears as it hit very close to home. I lost my horse to colic, after he rolled and twisted his gut. (It was in the middle of the night, so I wasn't there to stop him from rolling) Anyone who knows about horses, knows you shouldn't let a colicing horse roll! I did read it right to the end, but I had to force myself. *Spoiler warning* The ending was terrible too, as the main character was gifted a mystery horse. The 'happy ending' could be short lived, if the horse turned out to be stolen and had to be given back to it's real owners. I usually keep my horse story books and enjoy to re-read them.. but not this one. It went straight in the bin. If you want a good horse story, check out what Jane Ayres has to offer.
