Brought to you by Penguin.

Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe - mother and daughter, both champion riders - vowed to never, ever, compete against one another.

But a dramatic turn of events ahead of the Paris Olympics changes everything.

Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best in the world. Only one rider can fulfil that dream and make history.

Critic reviews

"This is a hugely entertaining, riveting, page-turner of a book. A thrilling and thoughtful read." (Louise Penny)

Not great if you know anything about horses and show jumping . Did enjoy the way it was read

Ok

Don't read this if you know anything about horses! Its very inaccurate, and even more so if you are in the UK. The narrator is awful too, too slow. Only my stubbornness to give up on a book I've paid for keeps me listening

Disappointed

Once it started to irritate I had to stop. The are other ways to say “he said”! Poor writing, which is surprising from this author.

He said ……. She said. … Aaargh!

Very disappointed. I was waiting for something exciting to happen throughout .
Far too much he said she said after every sentence !!

I love a good grown up horsey story but this is unrealistic, stereotypical rubbish with pathetic female characters. I only got to Chapter 16 before I had to stop - Olympic level riders with only one horse each? On the brink of financial ruin but the main characters never pick up a mucking out fork to save on groom's fees? A group of people who work with horses standing pathetically around till the vet comes when a horse goes lame and then the vet "cannot speculate"? Absolute tripe.

I'm giving up at this point... the handsome immigrant trainer who is likely to get deported; the headstrong daughter who needs "helped down from the horse" if she gets slightly upset? One dimensional at the basic and obviously neither of the authors have spent any time with real horse people or women, for that matter.

As I said, I love a good grown up horsey story. This isn't one....

Unrealistic Tripe
