After the Vermont Summer Circuit, Hannah Waer said good-bye to her first love, grand prix rider Chris Kern, and headed off to college. But once she's there, she can't stop thinking about Chris competing in Florida all winter along with his ex girlfriend, Mary Beth. Hannah is determined to join them in Wellington for the Winter Circuit, but when she finally gets there, it's not everything she hoped it would be. Chris is busy and stressed, trying to rebuild his career. Meanwhile, the frustratingly charming and beautiful Mary Beth seems set on winning Chris back. Zoe Tramell is in over her head with some seriously bad people and might need Hannah's help-if Hannah is willing to forgive Zoe enough to help her. And then there's Dakota, the difficult, young junior rider Hannah is supposed to be taking care of who wears Louboutin shoes, barks orders at Hannah, and chases after older guys. The Winter Circuit is the pinnacle of the country's glamorous show jumping circuit-it's also where Hannah, Chris, and Zoe must face big questions of what's next for them in life and how far they're willing to go to get there.

Seventeen year-old Francie Martinez rides at West Hills, one of the top show stables in the country, where her father is the barn manager. She's dreamed of winning the Medal or Maclay Finals, and finally making her notoriously tough trainer, Rob Renaud, realize she has what it takes to be the best. Now it's her last junior year and the pressure is really on. But just when Francie needs to focus more than ever, everything in her life turns upside down. Can she ever beat Tara, whom Rob is counting on to win? Will her relationship with the new boy in the barn, or what she learns about Rob keep her from winning one of the coveted equitation finals? This is an updated version of the book that Random House released in 2005.

Regan has decided what you want doesn't really matter when your mom is in remission from cancer. Join the three girls for a summer, culminating in the USEF Pony Finals, where they will make decisions and face challenges inside and outside of the show ring that will change their lives and their friendship forever.
