It was the kind of offer that every pony-club kid dreamt of. Which made it all the harder to say no. “I’m sorry, Marcus,” Issie said. “I can’t do it – not like this.” “Why not?” Marcus said. “You’re already registered to compete and so is Liberty – I’m sure Blaire can swap over the paperwork.

I can coach you, teach you how to handle her.” “The whole idea is mad. I just can’t do it.
