Horseshoes ;

When she and her family move to a huge, old manor house in northern Scotland, ten-year-old Sally hopes to be able to get the horse of her dreams.

Sally's beloved dog is old and ailing, but until she gets the chance to take care of a beautiful, wild Arabian horse, Sally cannot bear to say goodbye to her pet.

Although she nearly despairs of ever being able to jump, ten-year-old Sally wants to participate in a Scottish pageant along with a world-famous showjumper.

Ten-year-old friends Sally and Thalia finally make the Pony Club team but worry about being good enough to compete in the big One Day Event in October.

When ten-year-olds Sally and Thalia decide to compete in the horse show as a pair, they place severe strains on their nerves and on their friendship.

When Thalia has a serious riding accident, her estranged father takes away her beloved horse Tarquin, leaving it up to Sally, her best friend, to get him back.
