The school has started again in the quiet rural town of Old Quarry Lake. Newcomer Shelby and her "townie" friends Katherine and Rose have had an amazing summer becoming friends and spending time with horses.
Shelby is afraid that going to school will change the dynamic in her friend group, and she's right. After meeting a fellow horse-crazy girl named Agate in art class, Shelby introduces her to Rose and Katherine. That's when things get... well, weird. Rose keeps disappearing, and Katherine doesn't seem to have much to say to Shelby anymore.
As the school year drags on, Shelby finds herself feeling more distant from her friends than ever. Was introducing Agate to her friends a huge mistake?
Join the riders of Old Quarry Lake Farms as they spend their first year in school together. A new school building, a new group of friends, and new challenges to face at school and the barn-will the girls be able to navigate so many changes at once?
