Jade is resigned to spending the summer schooling troublesome Taniwha in the paddock, until she gets some good news. Becca's Aunt Flora who has a riding school by the beach, is looking for a bombproof beginner's mount, namely, Pip. When Flora collects Jade's beautiful old mare, she takes an interest in Taniwha too, who has potential as an endurance horse. Would Jade be interested in spending a few weeks helping out around the school and learning about endurance riding? Of course! To Jade, the riding school is heaven. Unfortunately she isn't the only one to thinks so. A property developer is determined to evict Flora and build luxury beach houses on the horses' land. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
