Will she rise above the challenges and prove her talent, or will the pressure break her spirit? Dive into Leah's journey of resilience and self-discovery.

From the publisher

Maple Run Stables is Leah’s home away from home. She loves the people, the horses, and the atmosphere. Sadly, Leah’s family is moving, and the new stable is the exact opposite. Leah feels out of place immediately. Even worse, the other riders bully her about her appearance and size. Leah loses her joy of riding and her self-worth. Leah has all the skills and talent for horse riding success, but will she gain back her confidence in time to prove it?
