About the Book

A strange cry from the woods changes everything. When Emma and her friends stumble upon an injured foal hidden among the trees, they bring him home for safety. But caring for a fragile, frightened youngster is harder than they expect...

Book Synopsis

Some secrets hide in the woods... others run straight into your heart.

When Emma, Willow, and their friends hear a strange whinny deep in the woods, they uncover a frightened, injured foal - alone, abandoned, and desperate for help. Bringing him back to Saddle Creek seems like the right thing to do... until tensions rise and caring for him becomes more complicated than any of them expected.

A girl from the rival Silver Spur barn suddenly appears, claiming the foal as hers. But something about her story doesn't add up. And when the foal mysteriously vanishes, the Saddle Creek Riders must race through the forest, follow scattered clues, and trust their instincts - and each other - before it's too late.

Full of courage, friendship, barn drama, and heart-pounding mystery, The Lost Foal Mystery is a perfect read for fans who love teen horse adventure, girls-and-horses friendships, ranch life coming-of-age stories, and family-friendly equestrian mysteries.

A brave foal. A tangled truth. A decision that could change everything.

Sometimes saving a life means discovering the truth behind it.
