At the time, offering to take home the worst-behaved pony at the Showjumping Champs seemed like a brave decision. Now, back in Mr White s paddock, too nervous to even mount her five-year-old monster, Taniwha, Jade is feeling stupid. 'Have you ever been hunting? It s probably exactly what your feisty Kaimanawa boy needs.' Two years older than Jade, and home from boarding school, Zoe Death couldn t be much more intimidating. But maybe she s right? Persuaded by her friends Becca and Laura, Jade spends the winter holidays on the Deaths sheep station. Is this the perfect opportunity for Jade to recover her confidence and bond with Taniwha, or a dangerous mistake?
Set
Jade loves reading about beautiful, clever horses and their young riders. It takes her mind off her real-life troubles.
It must be fate. After a family tragedy, Jade Lennox has moved to tiny Flaxton to live with her grandfather. A whole year in the middle of nowhere, and the future looks bleak. Until, that is, she finds someone else who's lonely and despairing - a pony under a death sentence. Jade can't let the black pony die. But what can she do? She has no money, no land for grazing, and doesn't know the first thing about looking after horses. What she does know is that she must save the stray . . . Ages 8-12.
