A Reason To Be Noble: A Prequel to The Horses Know Trilogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916172166)

Quinta is crippled with anxiety and can barely leave the house, so she is horrified when she senses the touch of a horse's mind on her own and realises that he has selected her as his Bond-Partner. She manages to find the courage to leave her home and her village, and meet the horse whose mind calls to hers. A bond settles into place between the two of them, and Quinta's outlook on life begins to change.

With her horse's guidance, Quinta's confidence slowly increases, but she has a long way to go if she is to leave all of her fears behind, and her horse is a relentless teacher. When it seems as though he has pushed her too far, Quinta must find a way to trust that everything he has taught her still holds true. Their lives and that of a young boy will depend on it...
