Bookroo's summary

Katie is tired of Becky's endless horse talk, but when she attends a riding show, things take a wild turn. Suddenly, Katie finds herself in the body of Becky's horse, Brownie. Experiencing the world from a horse's perspective, Katie must navigate the challenges of showmanship and the complexities of friendship. Can she find a way back to her own body, or will she be stuck as a horse forever? This unexpected switcheroo raises questions about empathy, competition, and what it truly means to walk—or trot—in someone else's shoes.

From the publisher

Becky is taking riding lessons at the Cherrydale Stables. That’s not news to Katie or her friends: In fact, they are sick of hearing about horses and sick of hearing Becky brag about what a great rider she is. Still, Katie convinces everyone to go to the horse show where Becky wins a medal in the first event, showmanship. The event looks pretty easy. However, Katie gets to see what it’s like from the horse’s perspective when suddenly she’s switcherooed into Becky’s horse Brownie.
