The Courage of Horses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512297195)

Book 4 in the Pegasus Equestrian Center Series continues the story of Sierra and River, now in college and facing the challenges of being apart. River's horse Oberon, just may have the talent to compete in the Olympics, but River resents that Sierra seems more interested in schoolwork than in supporting him in his riding career. Sierra wishes River could understand how important it is for her to make top grades in order to get into veterinary school.Todd is now a teenager, thriving in a supportive foster home. Working with horses has been very therapeutic in helping him overcome the psychological damage of an abusive mother. Now all Todd wants to do is ride hot-tempered horses - to gallop and jump. He can't understand why River thinks the best eventing prospect for him is Dune, a half-blind, calm-mannered mare.Jodi, a classmate of Todd's, is a social outcast, and feels very inferior to her attractive and popular twin sister. Jodi has always loved horses, and when she finally gets the chance to take riding lessons, she worries that her crippled foot will prevent her from learning to ride. But River is willing to give her a chance, and Todd is willing to help her get started, albeit at first begrudgingly. But their mutual love of horses results in a developing friendship in spite of the fact Todd has a crush on Jodi's twin sister.Sierra, River, Todd, and Jodi all share a mutual love of horses, and it is often the willing, forgiving, and courageous nature of the horses that help them find the courage to face the challenges and problems in their lives
