YA
Illustrated by
Elaine Clayton.
Abby's new horse Blue plows through his jumps, so Abby is asked to school discouraged classmate Sophia's mount, Pie in the Sky. Can Abby get Sophia riding again, Pie in the Sky to mind her, and Blue to jump? As in Smiley's previous three volumes, Abby's believable voice and a finely tuned sense of place make this a standout for horse-book fans.
