Part of the Second Chance Ranch series
Can Natalie teach a horse to race and find a new friend in a town full of challenges?
Twelve-year-old Natalie faces a whirlwind of challenges at Second Chance Ranch. With her best friend gone, she struggles to connect with Darcy, a new girl allergic to animals. Meanwhile, Tango, a rescued horse, refuses to learn barrel racing. As Natalie navigates friendship and responsibility, can she help Tango find his stride and discover her own path? Join the Ramirez family on their Texas ranch, where every animal—and person—deserves a second chance.
Natalie has a lot on her plate. She can’t seem to get Second Chance Ranch’s newest rescued horse, Tango, to barrel race. She’s also missing her best friend Sophia who recently moved away. A new girl in town, Darcy, seems like she could be bestie material, but she doesn’t like to do any of the things Natalie and Sophia did together - and she’s allergic to animals! Can Natalie help Tango learn a new skill while she learns a few of her own? At Second Chance Ranch, the Ramirez family works to find homes for all kinds of animals on their 200-acre ranch in Texas. Sisters Natalie (12), Abby (10), and twins Emily and Grace (9) all do their part to give each animal the second chance it deserves.
