关于此电子书

Viking is the pony of Amanda's dreams, but does she have what it takes to win? An exciting middle-grade novel about the thrills and challenges of competitive showjumping, from the bestselling author of Showtym Adventures. Seventeen-year-old Amanda Wilson is in her final year of high school, and has reached a crossroads. Her secret ambition is to make horses her future, but she isn’t sure she has what it takes. She’s not as forthright and fearless as her eldest sister, Vicki, a champion showjumper and professional horsewoman, and she has no desire to move to the city and study for a career like her arty and glamorous sister Kelly. Then Vicki throws down an irresistible challenge in the form of a young pinto gelding. Viking’s potential is huge, if Amanda is prepared to step up and invest in him. As Amanda and Viking learn what they are capable of together and ride their way up the leaderboard towards the Pony of the Year competition, Amanda begins to realise that the one real obstacle to achieving all her dreams is her ability to believe in herself. But will she master her mental game in time for the test of her life? A thrilling new novel from the Wilson sisters inspired by real events and perfect for readers 10 years and older.
