Horse riding is like a game of Snakes and Ladders: one minute you're up, the next you're back to square one. Amber thought she'd finally got to grips with her pony, Molly, after their performance at the tetrathlon, but as the summer season of shows begins, everything seems to go wrong when her nemesis Elisha Templeton shows up again. Determined not to go backwards, Amber must find a way to overcome her rival's mind games and realise that she is stronger than she thinks. Can she triumph in the game of ponies? Should Amber forgive and forget the past or is she right to trust her instincts?
