Summary
Sasha and her team have been accepted to the Mr. Conner's prestigious clinic, on campus over mid-winter break. Even better, they find out that scouts from the Youth Equestrian National Team will be there looking for new members. But, to make it the girls must work together as team--which might be hard to do given the state of the "team."
Former BFFs Sasha and Callie aren't even speaking, the new guy has a not-so-secret, unrequited crush, and Heather is on the outs in a huge way for her boyfriend-stealing habits. Not to mention the sudden reapprearance of a certain horseback-riding diva from Wellington . . .
Can the team put their differences aside and work together to bring it to a national level? Or will their differences drive them apart once and for all?
Jessica Burkhart was born in Goodlettsville, Tennessee on January 29, 1987. In eighth grade, she had a spinal fusion for severe scoliosis and had to give up horseback riding. She received a BA in English from Florida State University in 2007. During her senior year of college, she signed up for National Novel Writing Month and took on the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. The challenge resulted in the first draft of Take the Reins. An agent read the manuscript on her blog, she signed with him, and shortly afterwards she had a four-book deal. She is the author of the Canterwood Crest series. She also freelances for magazines such as Girls' Life, Listen and The Writer.
