Making the Team

Phoebe O'Brien is glad to finally be starting middle school- for one main reason: she can try out for the school's equestrian team. What she didn't expect, however, was that making the team would drive a wedge between her and her BFF, Kallie. She also didn't realize being a member of a team might also require a sacrifice that could possibly jeopardize her own performance at their first equestrian team meet.
Follow Phoebe and her horse, Dakota, as they try out for the equestrian team, participate in team practices, and compete at their first meet. Practice and run the same showmanship and horsemanship patterns as they do. Experience her encounters, both good and bad, with the other girls on the team. And share in her validation that hard work pays off; maybe it's even better than winning a blue ribbon!
