Horses in Wonderland Natalie Keller Reinert

Grace and Seabreeze Equestrian Center. They've been an institution in Central Florida for decades. But now it's the end of the line. The community around Seabreeze has been torn up by resort development, and Grace is ready to retreat to the ever-receding countryside, with a smaller barn and smaller ambitions to match. Or not. A shot at making a few extra bucks by renting stalls to a trainer specializing in parade horses becomes a new obsession for Grace's assistant trainer, Kennedy -- and a shot in the arm for Grace, who finds herself charmed by the local theme park's equine manager, Mark. Not ready to cede the area's equestrian experiences to the theme parks, she begins to think she can beat them at their own game. Which, unfortunately, won't be easy to explain to Mark. Trying to balance a barn full of boarders, aggressive new neighbors, a troublesome staff and a relationship with a man whose business model is in her crosshairs isn't easy. Grace has been in the horse business a long time... but it's never looked like this before.
