Nicky’s dream is to win an international showjumping competition, but she doesn’t get on with her trainer, Tad Masters. Her first challenge is to make it to the local competitions, before she can even think of anything else.
Blurb:
Nicky Wyman is home, her career in international show jumping cut short. She
needs help from old friends,but things have changed. She will renew her friendship
with Snow, her old trainer, and Moon Jumper, her first horse, but there are changes
in their lives, too. And new faces at the stables -
New
rivalries and new challenges unfold. NIcky must again prove her skill as a horsewoman,
to others and to herself. But this time, international jumping may be an impossible
dream.
Blurb: Nicky Wyman loved horses. She had a great but latent talent as a horseman,
but Nicky came from a background where there was never enough money to spare for
anything but essentials. To keep riding she mucked out stables,cleaned tack, and
exercised other people's horses. Then fate and circumstances took a hand, and Nicky
found herself, together with a strange recluse named Snowbuck, and a social misfit called
Sam, battling to save the life of a little mare -
Always against time,
and sometimes even outside the law, they worked to prepare Nicky and Moon Jumper
to do the impossible-
