Description

Thanks to the faith and hard work of Katie Durham, Willow King no longer has badly twisted legs. After painstaking training, the colt has gained the strength to compete in major races–and Katie is determined to prove he’s a champion. Unfortunately, her new ambition presents her with the most nerve-racking challenge of her life:earning a jockey’s license and riding Willow King in the Kentucky Derby. This inspiring story, a sequel to the author’s award-winning first novel, is based on her real experiences as a jockey, groom, and assistant horse trainer.
