DJ Randall couldn't be happier. Never before has she had so much support behind her dream of jumping in the Olympics. Even her mother, who has never understood DJ's love for horses, now cheers in the stands at DJ's shows. As DJ begins to compete in A-rated shows, however, everyone tells her she needs a better horse. But how can DJ give up Major, the sweetest, most willing horse ever?

Then DJ's biological father, Brad, and his wife, Jackie, offer their Thoroughbred/warmblood gelding to her. DJ is unsure whether to take their generous gift. Is she ready for a horse as spectacular as Herndon? Besides, DJ and Major have developed a bond she's unwilling to break.

Ultimately, the decision is made for her. But can DJ let go of the past and look forward to a future with Herndon?
