"Book one in an irresistible new series."
Lucky George – imagine the thrill of being offered a scholarship to a top boarding school for the best young equestrians. She’ll eat, sleep, breathe horses and riding while learning how to compete at the top level and while making new friends. There’s just one problem: her partner in all of this isn’t Timmy, the perfect pony she’s come to love, it’s scruffy, stubborn Bear, who seems determined to show her up in every way he can.
Some of the other pupils don’t need much of an excuse to be mean to George – jealous of her riding talent and, frankly, snobby – and Bear gives them lots of opportunities.
Can George see past her own prejudices, bond with Bear, and form the kind of horse-rider partnership that makes a winning team? They’re both going to have to work hard for it to succeed.
Readers who love pony stories will be in seventh heaven reading this, the start of a new series. George and Bear are irresistible, both, and the background of friendships, rivalries, competitions, not to mention an added element of crime drama too, make it super satisfying and enjoyable.
J P Rose knows all about horses, understands that special almost magical connection between rider and pony, and captures it all beautifully. A story to cherish.
"Welcome to Paddock Grove, a boarding school for the best, providing equestrians of tomorrow with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class tuition in everything from stable management to competitive riding..."

Unfortunately, that pony is Bear, a scruffy cob with tangles in his mane, feathers around his hooves and a mischievous streak a mile wide. He's the complete opposite of the well-bred show horses her classmates are riding.Between George's new-school nerves and Bear's naughty tricks, everything goes from bad to worse.
