Now Kirstie is in big trouble – should she own up? And if she does, will she ever see Midnight Lady again?

But her attempts to tempt him down to Half-moon Ranch fail. When two stangers turn up claiming ownership, Kirstie should be relieved; with winter closing in, Joe surely won’t survive much longer out on the peak. But somethow she doesn’t trust the strangers – and nor, it seems, does Joe…

 

8: Hollywood Princess
There’s a new horse at Half-Moon Ranch: a pure white, silkly-maned mare called Hollywood Princess.

Lisa can’t for the horse to be destroyed – but does Hollywood have the willpower to pull through?
