Everything changes in Annie Boyd's life when her family moves to Ridgeview. She's used to the hustle and bustle of the city, not living on a sheep farm. She doesn't have any friends, and she doesn't know anyone. The only good thing about her new life is the riding club.

Annie Boyd's dream has come true. She finally has a horse of her own. But she's got a secret, too. She's scared. Scared of riding, scared of failing. She's beginning to make friends at the Ridgeview Riding Club, but one girl has made it very clear that she'll make Annie's life miserable there. It seems like after every step forward, Annie has to take two steps back.
