YA
Illustrated by
Elaine Clayton.
Abby learns that Jack, the colt she rescued in The Georges and the Jewels, might have been sired by a famous race horse. Meanwhile, she works on jumps with Black George for an upper-class horse show. In a novel heavy on horsewomanship, from the show circuit to cow-punching, Abby's no-nonsense personality and understated competence will appeal to accomplished and wannabe riders alike.
