All Emily wanted was for her best friend to wake up from a coma but now that she has, nothing is the same. Mickey is giving up riding for good and even though her parents are considering selling Hampton to Jess, she won’t change her mind.
Meanwhile Emily has finally heard from renowned show jumper Miguel Rodriguez. After riding in his clinic, she’s been waiting to hear if she made the junior jumper team but it seems that Miguel can’t make up his mind. He’s calling back the best riders to stay at Black Gate over spring break only this time they won’t be allowed to bring their own horses. This time they’ll ride whatever Miguel puts them on.
But when Miguel gives Emily the rank new prospect to ride, she suspects that maybe he doesn't want her on the team after all. She can’t make the pony jump, she won’t canter without taking off and Emily needs to figure out how to ride her fast because this is her last chance to make the team. And how can she persuade her best friend not to give up on riding for good when she’s not even around?
