A Horse of Her Own

      But just as camp begins, Jane receives heartbreaking news about Beau. She loses, not just her favorite horse, but also her chance to ride in the end-of-summer competition. When her trainer asks for her help with an out-of-control chestnut warmblood, Lancelot, a newcomer to the barn, she has no choice but to say yes.

     Theres another new addition to the farm: Ben Reyes, the grandson of the barn's manager. As Jane struggles to go on without Beau, and to make Lancelot the great horse she believes him to be, her feelings for Ben, her relationships with the privileged group of girls she rides with, and her painful, joyous road to self-discovery all lead to a heart-pounding conclusion that is truly a new beginning. Only Janes faith in Lancelot, and her own rediscovered skill and strength, can see her through the hard journey toward a horse of her own.

Annie Wedekind grew up riding horses in Louisville, Kentucky, at a farm very much like Sunny Acres. Since then, she’s been in the saddle in every place she’s lived, from Providence to New Orleans, South Africa to Brooklyn. This is her first book.
