Friends with Horses: A Novel (Briar Hill Farm, 2)

In a hidden corner of rural Florida, there’s a place where gleaming horses graze on green pastures and majestic live oaks stretch their tangled branches over an old white cottage. A place where friends gather, children play, and riding skills are honed. This is Briar Hill Farm. Summer is never simple in Florida, but the shade trees and blue water of Briar Hill Farm were supposed to make the steamy season a little more palatable. Jules is determined to keep up the competitive spirit she regained after a slow winter, and she would, too, if Pete hadn’t brought home a stallion that’s driving everyone crazy. And as if one stallion wasn’t difficult enough, a gesture to help out their friend Grace with a summer rental turns into triple trouble when Grace’s old pal Suzie reappears in her life, begging for a place to stay for herself and her horse. While the Briar Hill Farm gang deals with troublesome guests, Alex is facing her own surprise summer visitor: Alexander’s teenage niece, Poppy.
