Joelle hates her new filly…
Joelle has a very special relationship with her Thoroughbred mare, Dance Away.

But Joelle’s parents insist she take care if the orphaned filly–it needs her help to survive.
Joelle does as little as she can to groom and train the foal. All she can think about is Dancer–that they won’t be riding together in the big fall show where Joelle was sure they’d win a trophy. Joelle’s convinced that Dancer’s filly will never be a winner like her mother.
