Emily has bronchitis but that hasn’t stopped her from competing in the November show and qualifying her horses for the big December show. It is the season finale and will be the proof of all her hard work. There will be cups to be won. Money prizes to be given out and Christmas festivities all around. Faith will be hoping to finally prove that Falcon is the pony for her. Hanna wants to show Esther that she is just as good as Emily and Jess is trying to be nice, which has everyone worried for their safety and that of their horses because they all know that she can snap at any minute.
And while all that is going on, Emily is trying to find a way to rebuild the broken relationship she has with her father. Now that she knows the truth about what happened to her dead sister and has accepted the blame, she is trying to move on but her father is different now and Emily isn’t even sure that she has the whole story. What if the one he told her wasn’t the whole truth?
Plus, there is a Thoroughbred auction that Emily is dying to go to. With the sale of Sunny, they have room in their barn for a couple of prospects and Emily thinks that a couple of off the track Thoroughbreds will be just the thing. She’s had so much luck with the ones that she has that she knows she can turn some more horses around and give them a second chance. After all, that is what their farm is all about, second chances. Her father isn’t so sure. He thinks they should concentrate on the more expensive Warmbloods that everyone is riding these days and Emily is going to have to do everything in her power to prove to him that she is right and he is wrong.
