Windy Creek Stables: Presley and the Impossible Dream

Presley's life is pretty great - she has a loving family, friends at school, and plenty of rambunctious rescue pets. There's just one little problem . . . she's never gotten to ride a horse. And her mum has banned her from ever, ever, ever getting on one. And sure, Presley knows riding can be a little dangerous, and a little expensive, but she’s loved horses for as long as she can remember. She’s read every book in the library about horses and horsemanship, she watches professional horse competitions on the internet, and she’s always dreamed about learning to ride. So when she gets the opportunity to tag along with her stepdad to a vet visit at Windy Creek Stables, she jumps at the chance. And even after a surprise run in with James, a popular girl who's never given Presley a second glance, Windy Creek is everything she thought it would be . . . except, well, maybe it's a little messy? Clean and dirty saddle pads are all jumbled together, and there’s a tangle of bridles hanging on a hook in the corner. Which gives Presley the perfect idea: In exchange for cleaning stalls and helping around the barn after school, Tracie, the stable owner, will give her lessons - if she can get her mum to agree to the deal.
