Nora is a prize-winning horseback rider in a suburban area, with a tight-knit circle of best friends. But when her mum gets a prestigious new job in a poor, rural area, she has to adjust to a lot of change—being the only Black kid in a new class and settling in at a new barn called Creaky Acres, where her beloved horse, Hay Fever, will make his new home.

It’s there she meets sweet and geeky Laura, goofy and fun-loving Wilson, and fearless Dolores (aka Dizzy). With her ragtag team of equestrians, Nora learns it’s okay to stand out and steps into her power as a leader, realising that being a rider isn’t just about winning—or maybe that winning just might look different than what she’d thought.
