hornton, courage means riding her horses forward through the most daunting cross-country courses in the sport. She's already proven she's willing to do whatever it takes to make her name as an eventer, even spending the summer in an intense dressage program.

Now she's back in Ocala and ready to tackle the winter eventing season with her usual bravado, but neither she nor her partner, Pete are ready for the next struggle the eventing gods have cooked up.
