Bronze

Friends are hard to find and even harder to keep for Allison. She knows starting high school in a new town will be challenging, but finding a lost horse gives her an accepting friend at home. Unsure what to do about it, she decides to keep it a secret.

Expecting the usual social difficulties at the new school, Allison is surprised and suspicious when a group of teens, unlike any she's met before, takes an interest in her. When she reveals her secret to them, she's immediately drawn into their equestrian world. Though she's always struggled with physical activities in general and has never been involved in sports, being with horses captures her heart and imagination as nothing has before. She begins taking riding lessons at a nearby ranch while keeping the lost horse a secret from her parents.

Meanwhile, life at school is not as simple and enjoyable as being around horses. Her sudden closeness to a certain pair of brothers is apparently a problem for other people, and her secretive behavior has her parents worried. And even though she loves just being around horses, she begins to worry that she's not good enough, that her friends will lose interest and give up on her. How can she possibly keep up with them when they've ridden all their lives?
