Believing In Horses, Too

Thirteen-year-old Sadie Navarro loves horses and her dad. But for now, her dad is in Afghanistan, and she's eager to distract herself until he's safely home. So Sadie focuses on training her new horse, Lucky, to compete in the largest local show - and checks in on Goliath, the draft horse she rescued.

It seems like the perfect plan, until Sadie's enthusiasm gets her roped into volunteering for a therapeutic riding program for returning soldiers. To make matters worse, her inexperienced horse and an unwelcome show ring rival are threatening Sadie and Lucky's chances to win.

Sadie wants to make her father proud. She wants to help others. But can she find the courage to overcome her fears?

Sensitive, thoughtful, relevant, and moving, Believing In Horses, Too is award-winning-author Valerie Ormond's second book
