Product description

‘Lauren St John creates both characters and horses so real you can almost reach out and touch them.’ Jilly Cooper

‘Captures all the excitement of top-level riding – I loved it.’ Mary King, International Eventer

Fifteen-year-old Casey Blue lives in East London’s grimmest tower block and volunteers at a local riding school, but her dream is to win the world’s greatest Three Day Event: the Badminton Horse Trials.

When she rescues a starving, half-wild horse, she’s convinced that the impossible can be made possible. But she has reckoned without the consequences of her father’s criminal record, or the distraction of a boy with melty, dark eyes, with whom she refuses to fall in love.

Casey learns the hard way that no matter how high you jump, or how fast you ride, you can never outrun the past.

A romantic thriller set in the equestrian world about daring to dream and finding the courage to follow your heart.
