Alex has always been a horse person. There is a funny scene where he pretends his bike is a horse while he is riding in circles in his driveway. When he starts taking lessons at Limestone Farm, he is fascinated by the art of dressage - a poised, elegant style of riding. However, Alex’s father wants him to be a “Manly Cowboy”. Throughout the story, Alex tries to live up to his father’s expectations but he eventually faces the fact that he has to be true to himself. The story is about much more than just horses. The relationships are very realistic and the snappy writing has Susan Juby’s trademark wit and humor stamped all over it.
