Emily is still at one of the most prestigious shows in the state thanks to the kindness of Patrick’s trainer Paddy, who has taken her under his wing. He is finding horses for her to catch ride. He’s put her on one of his best horses and if she keeps up the good work then she’ll be able to compete in the International ring against all the top riders at the end of her stay.
But Emily has other ideas. She is hoping that if she can show Paddy that Bluebird and Arion are also good enough then maybe she’ll get to ride them on the big International stage too. And what with Patrick now on two different mounts while his other horse recovers from a fall, he is now her equal in every way and they’ll go toe to hoof in every class to prove who is the best. Plus, with Jess and Amber set to arrive for the final week there are bound to be fireworks all around.
And there is a mystery horse arriving. One that Patrick keeps hinting is going to change Emily’s life forever. Emily isn’t sure that she has time to ride any more than her three horses and the catch rides that Paddy keeps putting her on but curiosity has the better of her and when the horse finally arrives, she’ll be in for the shock of her life.
