Book Description
Horse-loving American teen Kit Bridges is in it to win it when her new boarding school’s House Cup competition begins. Fourteen-year-old Kit Bridges is slowly growing accustomed to her new equestrian school, the illustrious Covington Academy, and life as an American teen in England. But it’s not easy finding a new normal since her mother’s death, especially when it seems like her dad, Covington’s riding instructor, might be starting to move on. She’d confide in her new friend, Anya, but Anya’s been acting so odd lately — almost like she’s hiding something. Not to mention all those confusing British boys, including one who’s been sending Kit notes in secret. Kit knows she can count on the connection she’s made with her favorite horse, wild, unpredictable TK, but he’s just one mishap away from being sent away from Covington — and Kit — forever. With the quest for the House Cup under way, tensions among students are mounting. Who will ride to the top? And who will end up underfoot?

The Complete Guide to Endurance Riding and Competition

Book Description
First Star to the Right and Straight on Till Morning.... At the 90-mile vet check she sat in the middle of the road crying, claiming extreme illness and trying to avoid her nightmarish fears her horse would die of founder or colic, or anything. The last ten miles of trail stretched forever in her mind, black like licorice taffy. After a large measure of TLC from her patient and understanding crew, she and the gelding were out of the check and on the trail again. The entire universe shrank to center on the pair in the moonlight. Time stopped and the world faded into nothingness. They were running in a small, ever-changing pocket of existence, the rhythm of his hooves, the heartbeat of that universe. Ribbons and trail appeared before them and lost substance as they moved past. For the rider, clinging to the saddle, there was no thought, no pain, no emotion, only the instinctive drive to chase past each ribbon as it appeared. Suddenly her horse jumped sideways, eyes and ears frozen forward. Awakened from her trance, she oriented herself on his suspected woods troll, a familiar embankment that meant they were a half-mile from home. Easing him past the scary object, she sent the gelding on, clinging to his neck. As his soft lope swept them across the finish line, she wanted to laugh out loud or cry, but was unable to summon the strength for either. A few small tears trickled down her cheek, the only sign of the enormous pride she felt inside.
