Official synopsis Publisher
Repackaged to ride the success of the bestselling Thoroughbred series, this classic stand-alone novel (nearly 55,000 copies sold) tells the story of a young girl and an orphaned filly.
When Dancer dies giving birth to her first foal, Joelle believes that she will never love another horse again. No horse, not even Dancer’s filly, could ever replace Dancer in her heart. When Joelle’s parents insist that she take care of the orphaned filly, Joelle does as little as possible to groom and train it. All she can think about is Dancer — and how they won’t be riding together in the big fall show where Joelle was sure they would have won a trophy. She is convinced that the foal will never be a winner like her mother. Then something happens that makes her change her mind forever…
