And We Danced by Toni Mari is the first book in the Dancing with Horses trilogy, a young adult equestrian romance that follows 17-year-old Jane Mitchell as she navigates the challenges of competitive dressage and unexpected romance.
Jane believes she’s found her dream horse in Windsong, a striking Swedish Warmblood with Grand Prix training and championship bloodlines. However, Windsong’s fiery temperament proves daunting, leaving Jane uncertain about her ability to handle him. When an out-of-control ride leads to an encounter with Cory, a confident and somewhat condescending reining champion, Jane is forced to confront her fears and preconceptions.
As Jane and Cory, hailing from different equestrian disciplines, are compelled to work together, their initial friction gives way to mutual respect and a budding romance. Amidst rigorous training and competitive pressures, Jane must decide if she’s ready to pursue her goal of competing in the National Junior Rider Championships and open her heart to unexpected possibilities.
This novel offers an authentic portrayal of the equestrian world, blending the excitement of horse shows with the complexities of teenage relationships. It’s a compelling read for horse enthusiasts and fans of young adult romance alike.
