From the publisher

Will Parker make the team?Parker Townsend and his Thoroughbred mare, Foxglove, have proven that they have the talent to compete in the Olympics in combined training. But they still haven’t made the team. Parker can’t figure it out. He’s won more events than any of his competitors, and Foxy is in top form. No jump is too high for them, no dressage course too technical. So why haven’t the Olympic stewards asked him to join the team?His trainer, Samantha McLain, knows why. Parker isn’t a team player. He always does his best and usually wins, but sometimes that’s not enough. In order to compete, Parker must show the Olympic stewards that he can help out his team members and ride for the team.
