Will the losing streak ever end? In the middle of a horse show, Emma Duncan, age 15, scratches out of her next class because her mare, Bonnie Blue, shows everything but winning behavior. When Emma tries the timed events, her feisty horse gives speed a new twist. At home, saddle thieves are on the loose, and so are friend thieves. Will Emma’s best friend, Aubrey, abandon her for the rude new girl, Caitlin? Will the chemistry between Emma and the mysterious Enrique turn into something more? Emma’s father utters the word “slaughterhouse”, and Emma understands one thing clearly. She and Bonnie must win or face separation forever.
Set at “River Bend Stables” somewhere along Colorado’s Poudre River, Winning Bet also features two real-life horses, Bonnie Blue and her son, Billy Blue. The horse on the cover is Bonnie, and yes, a certain lovely property is the inspiration for the setting. The rest of Winning Bet's colorful characters are purely figments of imagination.
