Emily has survived her experience on the road, travelling with an up and coming show jumper. She’s learned how much hard work it can be but also that the rewards are great and it has only cemented her desire to continue on the road to her Olympic dreams. But for now she is content to be back at Second Chance Farm, building their business and helping clients.
So when a new girl comes to board and train, Emily thinks this will be a good thing for Faith and Falcon. Faith needs someone her own age to ride with and Falcon needs focus. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone. But when friendly competition takes a turn in the wrong direction, two little girls will put their ponies lives on the line just to prove who is the best.
And things aren’t all sunshine and roses at home. Emily is avoiding Jordan because she still isn’t sure what she really feels for him. Hanna is still mad at her because she got sent home and Emily didn’t and Esther has a new horse for Emily to ride, one which Hanna thinks should belong to her. And as the horse drives a wedge between the two girls, Emily learns that sometimes blood is thicker than water but that there are exceptions to the rule.
