Forward

If Jules was sure about one thing, it was that she would never become a riding instructor. But suddenly she is the lead instructor at the Alachua Eventing Co-Op, in charge of the hopes and dreams of a dozen young riders. Her beloved working student, Lacey, is back, her star student, Lindsay, is becoming a devoted horsewoman, and though Jules never thought she’d be so sentimental, she loves training up a new generation of riders. Her own riding has never been better, and Jules will be able to afford a promising new horse to bring up through the levels if she and Dynamo can win at the Central Park Horse Show in the fall. But cracks start to show as summer sets in. Pete’s overbearing new owner is pressuring him to push his horse too fast. Dynamo is suddenly showing his age on the cross-country course. And sparks are flying between Jules and her new coach, Evan Folkes. As mounting tension threatens her relationship with Pete, and the lights of New York City beckon, will Jules decide to chase new dreams? Or can she choose Pete and the life they’ve built together, and still move forward?
