Bookroo's summary

Sam rescues a mistreated mare from horse rustlers, but her ranch is full, and her father forbids adopting another mustang. With a drought threatening their cattle, Sam faces a challenge: can she calm the skittish horse and secure it a safe haven? As she battles the mare's fears and her own limitations, Sam must find a way to give the horse a second chance. Will she succeed in taming the wild spirit and proving that love can heal even the deepest wounds?

From the publisher

The beloved third book in the middle grade Phantom Stallion series about a girl, her horse, and the beauty of the American West returns with a brand-new, stunning cover and bonus material! Perfect for fans of Canterwood Crest and classic horse stories like Black Beauty and My Friend Flicka. When Sam rescues an abused mare from a group of outlaw horse rustlers, she knows she’s done the right thing. But the ranch already has a full corral, a long drought means the cattle are running out of grass, and her dad has told her she can’t adopt another mustang. Even worse, the mare is skittish and unruly after being hurt by her former owners. Can Sam get the frightened horse to trust her and find a way to give her a home?
