I taught him all I knew-- even though he wanted to play everything straight, not fake it. Because he had one game coming up where he'd need all the moves to put his life together again.

Länge, länge - i flera år - har Barbro sparat ihop pengar. Hela sommaren jobbade hon på ålderdomshemmet, men nu har hon äntligen tillräckligt. Till hösten kan hon köpa hästen hon alltid drömt om! Barbro har funderat under lång tid, men bestämmer sig tillslut för att köpa en connemara-valack. När han kommer till Barbro heter han Easter Joy, men Barbro döper om honom till Tara. Nu är han helt och hållet hennes häst! Att rida in en treårig Tara är dock svårare än man kan tro. Ibland är han vild som få, ibland helt ointresserad.

Lovis älskar att rida, men hästsport är dyrt och det verkar inte som att det finns någon chans för henne att kunna spara ihop till sin dröm, att bli tävlingsryttare. Hon kan inte tävla utan en egen häst, de flesta andra tävlingsryttarna har en hel gård med hästar att träna. Så vitt Lovis vet har ingen i släkten varit speciellt intresserad av ridning, så att en av hennes släktingar äger en hästgård kommer som en stor överraskning.
