In this fourth book in the warm-hearted Diamond Spirit series, Shara and her friends decide to protest against the wild horse race that has come to town
Shara heard her father's four-wheel drive back up to the horse float, and moments later the sounds of hooves up a tailgate. She rushed to the window and saw Rocko's big brown rump move into the float next to Goldie's.
'Dad! Dad! No!' She threw herself down the back steps, sobbing. 'I'm sorry!'
When Shara and her friends decide to protest against a wild horse race, it sounds fun, even heroic, but they don't plan on the tangle of heartbreak that follows. The police are on her doorstep, her friend Corey is in the hospital, and both her beloved horses have been taken from her. Shara will need the whole town on her side before she can put things right.
Synopsis
In this fifth book in the warm-hearted Diamond Spirit series, Jess and Luke are out to foil the "brumby runners" who so callously trap wild mountain horses and leave them broken and traumatized. Can they save the wild horses? Jess ran out to the front gate. "What are you doing? Where are you going?" "I'm going to stop those brumby runners," Luke wrenched open the door of the ute and climbed in. "What brumby runners? You don't even know who they are or where they come from." "I know where the horses come from."
When Luke brings home a truckload of traumatized "brumbies," or feral horses, some with horrific injuries, Jess agrees something must be done. Can Jess, Luke, and their friends foil the runners and save the wild mountain horses from their cruel fate? And in going back to Matty's Flat, will Luke discover where he really belongs?
