Eventer’s Dream (Book 1)
Elaine dreams of becoming an event rider but lacks a horse and sponsor. She accepts a stable hand job with the eccentric, cash-strapped Fane sisters, caring for their motley herd at a crumbling manor. As she pours her heart into the barn, she faces a tough decision when a genuine training opportunity appears—should she stay and help the Fanes or pursue her own dream?
A Hoof in the Door (Book 2)
Elaine, now sponsored by the Fanes, enters competitions with a promising event horse named Legend. She tackles entry fees, gear costs, and the unpredictability of typically unsuitable horses—sometimes with hilarious results. Just as things look up, disaster strikes, threatening her long-sought chance at professional training.
Ticket to Ride (Book 3)
Elaine wins a coveted scholarship to a top eventing training school. But the elite atmosphere, high standards, and lingering influence of the Fane sisters test her resolve. As rivalries emerge and her values are put to the test, Elaine realizes that true success means staying true to herself.
