"Ah the days when I was a young, horse-crazed girl, devouring books like Horses By Email. This book really took me back. Great fuel to feed the minds and dreams of young girls everywhere to enter the incredible world of horses! Staci really knows the ups and downs of the special connections of young riders and their mounts! You won't be disappointed."—Renate Andrasevit-Reed, author, Horse Tales for the Soul Vol. 2 and 3

"A wealth of great horse information packed into a delightful story of two key pals sharing their experiences by email and finally meeting in person as competitors in the biggest horse show of their lives. A lot of fun!"—Laurie Loveman, author of the Farm Fire Series

"My kids will absolutely love this book—I plan on using Horses By Email as a fundraiser."—Beth Holt, 4-H Leader

But with a friend—yes, best friend—it was different.

Melaina couldn't bear the thought of losing, but what if she won?
