Set in the early 1960's, this novel has as its background the schooling of horses in Dressage at a time when the discipline was only beginning to be understood in the United States.
It is the story of the struggle between a volatile, defensive young man and a hard, unsympathetic but gifted horse trainer.
"...Although the story deals with a rare form of competitive horse training---dressage---the author's vivid descriptions successfully integrate the concept into the narrative. A carefully plotted coming-of-age story about the bounds of authority."
---Kirkus Discoveries
"This is definitely a book for equestrians and non-equestrians. If you're looking for a quiet, pleasant read that leaves you caring and rooting for its characters and learning dressage all at the same time, then this book scores a perfect 10."
---The Chronicle of the Horse
