Paperback. Zustand: Good. Horse friends forever? Emily Summers is on a mission. A scared little pony has come to Running Horse Ridge, the horse rescue ranch where she lives. Rescued from a neglectful owner, the palomino Shetland cowers in the corner of the back paddock, and Emily realizes patience is the only way to reach him. Hercules desperately needs a friend, and Emily knows exactly how the lonely pony feels. She is new to Running Horse Ridge herself. But unlike Hercules, she has begun to make new friends, and she has the love of her horse friend forever, Sapphire. Having moved from New Jersey to Oregon with her dad, she is still trying to prove her riding skills to Aunt Debby while finding her footing in a bustling home full of cousins. Old Max welcomes the frightened newcomer right away, and Emily hopes the skittish pony will follow his lead as she brings carrots and quiet encouragement to the fence line. Can Emily get Hercules to trust her before he is beyond help? Equestrian Competition: Switching from precise dressage to hunter-jumper courses tests Emily's nerve. Sibling Dynamics: Water-gun ambushes from mischievous cousin Kyle balance out sweet encouragement from seven-year-old Caitlyn and late-night pre-show pizza with Alison. Found Family: Between early-morning chores and a rowdy trail ride through the Oregon woods, Emily learns that belonging means opening up to the people who love her.
