Silver Spurs

Due to extended unemployment, teenager Kate
Ferris’ parents moved the family from Spokane to her late maternal Grandpa
Cooper’s farm in ODell, Oregon. In her
new home, her dream of A Horse for Kate soon comes true. Now, Kate wishes that her BFF Tori Velasquez
also obtains a horse of her own.
To raise money for Tori’s horse, Kate, assisted
by her best friend, takes on boarders.
The work is difficult, but made exponentially more stressful when the
school’s queen of mean Melissa brings her horse to stay at the Ferris barn and
compete in a contest in which the winner receives Silver Spurs.
Tweeners, especially those who previously read A
Horse for Kate, will relish the second Horses and Friends inspirational tale because
each of the lead female trio comes across as genuine with differing
personalities emphasized by how they relate with one another and with their
horses. Kate keeps the plot focused as
she pursues what she wants now while asking God to intervene or at least guide
her to her goal; but Melissa steals the show.
