Official synopsis Publisher
Saddle up and ride with a mature woman who is willing to fight for what she loves.
After dedicating decades of her life to training horses and riders, Grace Carter is facing the greatest challenge of her career. Her beautiful farm, Seabreeze Equestrian Center, used to sit in the heart of horse country. But now, the last of her neighbors is selling up . . . and developers are knocking on her door, eager to turn her slice of old Florida into a tourist haven.
To make matters worse, her newest boarder is stirring up trouble in the barn. Kennedy Phillips is everything Grace doesn’t want in a client – a wide-eyed young woman who would rather wander with her horse in the woods than tackle a show-jumping course. And her carefree spirit is finding an eager audience amongst Grace’s dedicated students. When they start canceling riding lessons to hit the trails, Grace’s confidence begins to waver. Could this really be the end of Seabreeze Equestrian Center?
But Grace didn’t make it this far in the horse business to give up now. She’s not going down without a fight. Grace is determined to save Seabreeze, her family home, and the business she’s built for herself – even when the wilderness itself seems to fight back.
With unlikely friendships, late in life challenges, and a lead character with grit and enduring spirit, Show Barn Blues invites readers to discover the Florida they never knew existed.
