After falling out with her best friend Taylor, she takes a step back. She starts to attend Edgewood Stables, a smaller riding facility, with the goal to renew her love for horses. Victoria begins schooling a new horse named Quinn, while facing the challenge of dealing with Norrie, the queen bee who is making everyone ignore her. She thinks she’s fine, avoiding the other riders, but can she truly be happy with no friends, when she has to compete with Quinn and face her ex-best friend? Fans of Best Friends and Stargazing will want to pick this one up.
