Will the losing streak ever end? In the middle of a horse show, 15-year-old Emma Duncan scratches out of her next class because her mare, Bonnie Blue, shows everything but winning behavior.

Will Emma’s best friend, Aubrey, abandon her for the rude new girl, Caitlin?
Will the chemistry between Emma and the mysterious Enrique turn into something more? Emma’s father utters the word “slaughterhouse”, and Emma understands one thing clearly. She and Bonnie must win or face separation forever.
