Produktbeschreibung

This is a story which holds the attention. I really enjoyed the relatable, highly competent young female main characters - horse-riding certainly seems to breed resourcefulness, organisational skills, focus, responsibility and self-discipline! But then that's not surprising, when it takes such a very huge commitment. I also liked the realistic financial aspects: these girls and their parents think about money, a lot, and how to manage their purchases, increase value, and fund their passion. I found that realism refreshing. Very often characters in stories just seem to have the cash to do stuff without really worrying about where it comes from - as if people all have secret private incomes and oodles of cash. Whereas in the real world, most people don't. Finding the money to fund stuff is important. So, even for someone not into horses this is a very readable, very enjoyable story with great characters, and offers an inside look at another world. The writer's expertise and understanding of this equestrian world is thorough and fascinating...A highly entertaining read.
