Can Christina control Sterling?

Now that she has the horse of her dreams, Christina Reese is more determined than ever to enter high-level competitions. There's only one problem--her horse, Sterling Dream, isn't cooperating.

Christina thought she had a close bond with Sterling, but now the mare refuses to do anything Christina asks. She balks at jumping even the lowest fences! Christina doesn't know what to do. If Sterling 's behavior doesn't improve, this may be the end of their riding career!

Whether jumping a cross-country course, galloping a powerful racehorse, or just riding on the trails, only one thing matters Christina and her friends: the special bond between horse and rider. If you love horses, then you'll love reading all the books in the Thoroughbred series.
