The second exciting adventure in a brand new pony series set in an elite equestrian boarding school from rising star J. P. Rose.

Welcome to Paddock Grove, a boarding school for the best, providing equestrians of tomorrow with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class tuition in everything from stable management to competitive riding.

Katie is delighted to be selected as the captain for Paddock Grove's under-14 equestrian team in the county competition. She and her horse, Sheriff, are a great duo, and she's excited to prove this in the arena and on the cross country course.

But when the competition starts, strange things begin to go wrong around the stables. At first, Katie suspects mean-girl Megan, who's been banned from competing. However, as the 'pranks' start to escalate, she starts to believe that someone from one of the other teams might be trying to sabotage Paddock Grove's chances by playing tricks on their team captain.

If she can't find the culprit, they might run her and Sheriff out of the competition altogether...
