Pony-mad Poppy McKeever is delighted when she wins a riding holiday for two in the Forest of Dean.
The twelve-year-old invites her best friend Scarlett to join her and the pair arrive at Oaklands Trekking Centre full of excitement.
Poppy is dismayed when she is handed Beau, a hairy, bumbling piebald cob with a wall eye and a stubborn streak - the antithesis of her beautiful dappled grey Connemara Cloud.
Things go from bad to worse. Poppy fails miserably to click with Beau and her friendship with Scarlett reaches breaking point.
She is confronted by a sinister man in a silver saloon who is trying to track down the owner of the trekking centre, struggling single mum Nina.
But before Poppy can uncover the man's true identity a brutal storm rips through the forest, threatening the lives of the Oaklands horses. There is only one way she can save them. And that is to place her trust in the horse she has battled with all week.
This is the third novel in The Riverdale Pony Stories.
